Summary: Awesome !
Review: I bought this TV few weeks ago and it is amazing. Keep in mind that it offers 1000 (! ) lines of resolution and nothing on the analog market can beat this, not at this price. Because this TV offers DIGITAL filter which you can only find in SONYs for 4000+$, this is by far the best TV for its price. I have my Sega Dreamcast hooked up via S-video and when my friends visit their jaws simply drop. Im not sure how many lines of resolution Sega is putting out, but this TV can handle anything. Any movies on my Sony DVD player look simply amazing, the closest to Digital TV I have ever seen. This TV has Dolby Surround and you can hook up your stereo, wireless speakers and even a subwoofer directly to it. 5 stars no question about it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent TV
Review: I have had this TV for over 2 years now and I couldn't be happier. All you need to do is find a store that has one on display so you can compare the difference in picture quality to other models.

Most people that come to my home assume it's a digital TV but of course it's analog.

Summary: Projection's come a long way!
Review: I've had my Hitachi for over 4 years now. I have used it with DVD, VCR, satellite, and broadcast TV (never had cable during this time). Every picture (except bad reception broadcast) has been near perfect. The color is wonderful and the remote's controls are easy to understand. I will say i have a few minor problems with this set:

1) There are only 3 inputs on the back, which meant my VCR had to be connected to the front inputs when i had satellite (running a wire in front of my system looks unprofessional).

2) The writing on the front of the TV (for the front controls) is very hard to read unless you bend down and look closely. Basically, i say stick to the remote.

3) The audio programming for the remote control is too limited to control any but the most basic receiver functions. I still have to use my Onkyo remote for my receiver.

4) The menu is a bit cumbersome (but at least you can watch TV while adjusting it, unlike my Sony VCR).

However, the great features far outweight any of these little issues:

1) This thing can really pump out loud and clear audio! I play DVDs like Terminator II, Predator, Speed, Buffy, Xena, and Star Trek on a regular basis. The sound is CD quality and i've never heard distortion. Using it with a receiver, it can even take the place of a center speaker.

2) When i play CDs, i can use the TV sound in addition to my room speakers. Gives the sound more body.

3) The dual PiP is supreme! I love how you can switch between the big and little pictures and even make the pictures the same size.

4) You can control your VCR, cable/satellite, and CD players with the remote (almost universal).

The only reason i would ever sell this TV is to move up to a digital/HDTV set. It handles all of my other TV needs as is.
