Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I not only found the MSRP for this item is $1,599.99. But I have also been impressed with its clear, sharp, life-like picture and its clear, sharp, life-like hi-fi stereo sound I did not expect to find in a rear projection TV. Among some of its features are a dual-tuner picture-in-picture which comes in handy since my girlfriend and I have digital satellite to be able to connect a separate antenna to so we can pull in the other local channels, as well as its separate bass and treble adjusters, bass boost and a choice between manually adjusting those or choosing one of the manufacturer's custom adjustments with its universal remote. I like having not only the option of being able to listen to shows and movies either through its speakers by leaving its speakers on or through a receiver's speakers it is connected to by turning its speakers off. But I also like being able to set it either on Fixed or Variable, depending on whether I listen to it through a receiver's speakers it is connected to or through an amplifier's speakers which can be connected to it. I like having 3 sets of a/v inputs(2 rear, 1 side), 1 rear S-video input, 1 set of rear a/v outputs and one side headphone jack, as well as 2 rear RF connectors. And I like its 2-line digital comb filter and ability to adjust its temperature. It is also lighter than some of the flat screen TV's out now. I can elaborate more on its features, including its easy-to-use owner's manual. But I feel I have covered enough. It is one I highly recommend!

Strengths:
Light, portable, clear, sharp, life-like picture and clear, sharp, life-like hi-fi stereo sound, all its connections and features and reasonable price.

Weaknesses:
None.

Similar Products Used:
Sony 53" rear projection TV. Have also checked several other rear projection TV's.
