Projection-TV Reviews

If your looking for hdtv for the price this is the one to buy. My wife and I looked at 6 or seven different models,picture wise and clarity and color looked just as good or some what equal to a plasma tv.

I Recently purchased the Philips Magnavox 9P6031C 60 inch TVand so far
I am very pleased with it. I purchased [this set] and saved $300-500
over comparable sets by other manufacturers. The picture is very good
and has settings for movies, sports, or for weak reception which I use
since my cable reception is not very good. I purchased a Toshiba DVD
player and using the component video output into the component video
in on the TV gives me the kind of picture I had dreamed I would
achieve. This combined with a new home theater system has turned my
new rec room into a virtual movie theater. The setup is relatively
easy and the SMART features on the menu offer several easy to access
options.... I would
recommend this set to anyone who wants a high quality set offered at a
reasonable price, and has the room to enjoy it.

When I purchaced this TV back in 2002, I was simply amazed at the quality of the picture. 2 years later I am ready to throw it out the window. I've had it in for repair 3 times and I now have issue with it Ididn't have befor. I origioanlly had to have it repaired for a screen flickering on HD signals. It turned out the HD tuner built in was on the fritz and they ended up replacing the tuner. Thing is the problem cam back 3 weeks after I got it back. This time they blamed it on faulty capacitors that were overheating. After another 3 weeks in for repairs I finally got it back. Not 2 months later I am having issues with the audio not matching the video signal. It's almost like watching a chinese movie dubbed in english. I am now past my 2 year warranty and don't know if I want to sink more money into this. If I leave my TV off for a few minutes it clears up the audio, but an hour later it's right back to it. I can't even get through a movie without having to turn off and back on the TV. The tv repair place claimes that the work they did could not have caused this and want another $95 to just come out and look at it! Do not but the RCA 6130 without an extended warranty.

The picture quality is very good. Sound is excellent but the greatest feature of all is the guide plus. Makes every changing cable channels easy for everyone in the family. We have never been sorry that we purchased this TV!!

I love my new tv. The picture is sharper than I expected and the sound is pretty good. The remote is pretty good also. It controls my DVD player as well as my Sony stereo. The only thing I don't like about is that I have yet to get Guide plus+ to work and I have had the tv for about 3 months.

RCA products are very good. This 61 inch projection TV has crystal clear picture quality with a true 3-D sound from the sound retrieval system (SRS) technology. In addition to that, external speaker terminals are available. And, of course the picture-in-picture option.. For the price paid when compared to other popular brands and also taking advantage of amazon.com's free shipping and delivery option, this would be a good buy for the price and quality.

I bought this tv a few months ago after a lot of debate. Sony always seemed to be the more expensive product, then it went on sale. 13,999 was the sale. after having to buy the necessary stand for 200, the sale price kind of vanished. Keep in mind that you will need some sort of stand for this unit as it sits too low for good viewing angle without it. The picture is great. As most people say, unless you have a good cable signal, the flaws will be very evident. But I bought this for movies. DVD's look awesome!! I only wish it was widescreen as most all dvd's come in 16:9 format. I know, why did I buy a 4:6 aspect then? Well, I don't like how if you are watching normal tv and the picture is cut down. I would definitely recommend this tv to others, but I would warn people to weigh their priorities.

i've had this tv for almost 5 months, and i love it. for those of you trying to decide between widescreen (16x9) and normal (4x3) tv's, do yourself a favor--get the widescreen, you won't regret it. the tv gives you different viewing modes for 4x3 material--letterbox, stretch (uniformly or nonuniformly), or crop. i usually stretch the 4x3 material--for the first day the images look wide, but you stop noticing after that.

i love the component inputs, and that the tv will accept progressive scan materal. i haven't done any hdtv viewing, but 480i, 480p, and 540p material looks great! you'll definitely want to pair this tv with a progressive scan dvd player like the toshiba 5109 or 6200.

it's definitely worth getting the set calibrated by an ISF professional--they can adjust overscan, focus, colors, etc. if you're daring, you can look online for sites that will tell you how to do this stuff yourself.

the only two shortcomings that i have with this tv are: that it doesn't accept native 720p input and that the reflective screen makes it hard to watch tv in a bright room--sometimes it's like looking into a mirror. you'll need to get yourself some drapes or you can remove the reflective layer yourself (not for the faint of heart).

beware, though, there is a new toshiba model that replaces the TW40X81--the new model is the 40H80. i think for most people the differences are not significant.

I like this TV. Great multi-window feature and I love the screens outer design. Very stylish, looks very modern and professinal. Great picture, works great with DVD, feels just like the theater, without spending over $5000 on a 16:9 HDTV. I just bought a Pioneer ELITE HDTV for my bedroom, and it's the only TV that's superior to this one.
