Summary:
i hear that people are having color and video problems........... check your equipment. this tv is honestly the best for the price. the video is excellent, and is much better if you have a progressive scan dvd player. i have a samsung progessive scan {free with the tv}, cheap but the picture looks great. i also have my xbox hooked up which is progressive scan for games and not dvds. the games have a 480p input and are sweet looking. i compared the movies with the xbox and the samsung and since the samsung is progressive it is 10 times better. also check the quality of the movies that u are watching, the is a new type of dvd now called superbit dvd and it puts normal dvds to shame.

Strengths:
many inputs

Weaknesses:
audio, unless u have a nice surround sound system

Summary:
This is a fine entry level set for the first home theater setup. Good picture with digital cable, Very good picture with DVD or HD images. It's nice that it's on casters to be able to move it easily. The color needs a little adjusting to tone down the red, other than that I'm totally pleased with this RPTV.

Strengths:
Many connectivity options. Great picture with DVD or HD images. Hitachi reliability.

Weaknesses:
A little red push, But that's easily remedied with a few adjustments.
