Summary:
Owned for one year and am very satisfied with overall performance. Color is adequate as are the features/# of inputs. Overall, a nice projection tv for the money. Now, the negative...pictures are sometimes fuzzy and pixeled during some Directv feeds. The problem is more likely due to Directv than tv? Now for my advise, turn off the auto-color and set the color temp to normal and the theme to movie...and most importantly buy a setup/calibration disc. This will drastically improve picture. I used Sound & Vision's HT calibration disc from BB ($20). Others are Avia and Video Essentials. Also, run all your audio through a A/V receiver..not your tv.

Strengths:
Price overall picture quality (Directv) component input (DVD) lightweight well organized remote

Weaknesses:
auto-color is terrible (can disengage) annoying "Hitachi" emblem on front (I removed) red power light distracting (black tape will solve)
