Review 1 of 11

Price Paid:  $2600.00 from Sears

Summary:
It's the best... I feel sorry for any one that is trying to find one. I hear Hitachi is no longer making the 61SBX59B. But if you want anything that comes close get a Hitachi 57UWX10B HDTV. The picture looks good with digital cable and the DVD play is great. But try running satellite on the Hitachi 61SBX59B you will never leave home. I am very happy with my Hitachi 61SBX59B and if it was available I would take it over any HDTV.

Strengths:
Everything if perfect

Weaknesses:
They are right about the remote, but when you have a picture as good as this who cares:)

Review 4 of 11

Price Paid:  $2000.00 from Sears

Summary:
You can't go wrong. This RPTV is absolutely outstanding. I actually sit about 10 feet exactly from the tv. I know that's not ideal, but, it still looks great. I'm planning on moving next year. I can't wait to see it from 15 to 20 feet. If your shopping around you won't find anything better for the price.

Strengths:
Fantastic picture.

Weaknesses:
None that I can see.

Review 5 of 11

Price Paid:  $2000.00 from circuit city

Summary:
I bought it open box at circuit city for $2000. How can you beat that? Plus $300 for 4 years warranty. I decided to buy it after extensive research on the internet, comparing at the store, asking salepeople's opinion and of course, reading this post. Bright pictures.. 60 watts speakers.. great for watching DVD, football, and other sporting events and it's Hitachi quality. I'm very happy with my purchase. As for HDTV... who needs it now??? Not worth the price as of now.

Strengths:
Great picture.. great audio.. it's on wheels, so it's easy to move it around. glass shield.. Many a/v inputs

Weaknesses:
no cup holder.. j/k actually none IMO

Similar Products Used:
first RPTV
