BIG All...Especially, CINEMA WIDE! Multiple component in.

BIG Cats jump on it and mar the finish. You'll also have to sit at least 10 feet back so you don't see any lines. NO DVI or Firewire IEEE 1394.

I have had this TV for over a year now. Upgrade from a 27 RCA ProScan 1992 model. This is the absolute best RPG that I have ever seen. I've compared this TV to many other "top line" models from, Mitsu, Sony & Toshiba. The main difference is COLOR & CLARITY! Yellow is yellow and red is red, even in the stores, I can't wait to have ISF come calibrate it! Brilliant! The finish is absolute magnificent.

This is the best RPTV out there. I'm a Sony man but when I saw this TV at Domes Audio/Video store I was sold out and I got to have this TV to replace the old 1992 32" inch Sony Trinitron sitting in my family room. I hooked this TV direct via the component video using 2M Audioquest Cinema YIQ2 component cable through Sony DVPNS700 progressive scan DVD player. When I played Monster Inc. I was surprised and could not believe the color it was putting out, so vivid and so vibrant, it was an awesome picture. There are no artifacts and I don't see any chroma bugs. I set the tv to Full, adjusted and tweaked the convergence and multi-point convergence, set the DVD player to widescreen (16x9 aspect). What I got was an awesome picture, I felt like I was in a movie theater due to that 64 inch wide screen. Now my 32 inch Sony looks like a little toy after I got used to this big screen. 5000 USD is worth the money and before I had it deliver it was ISF calibrated for free (that was about $340 bucks I saved). The customer service is great at Domes Audio/Video store (thanks Bill Jenkins and to store owner Lee). I was thinking about getting a plasma tv but the prices are outrageous for a 42 inch plasma TV, so I decided to go ahead and get this 64 inch tv. Now my family room looks more luxurious due to the addition of this tv. The finish on the cabinet alone is an added bonus. That glossy black really shines. I highly recommend this RPTV to everyone. I have to watch my favorite DVDs (Matrix, Gladiator, Toy Story 1&2, Fifth Element, etc.) again and again with this tv.

Excellent image quality. Works well with progressive scan DVD and HDTV direct TV.

Picture quality out of the box! I can''t imagine how good it will look when I have it calibrated after break-in! Superb stretch modes.

It is expensive, but that is, of course, relative.

Though it is expensive, it is the best RPTV on the market. My set was manufactured Mar ''02 and does not have the S-Video issue. The picture is great, Hi-Def is breathtaking, the cabinet is beautiful.

Fantasticly rich color, verry defined image, superb contrast for a projector.

Unbelievable contrast and color reproduction. No other rear projection TV comes close, other then Mitsubishi''s flagship DLP projectors (but at double the price). Verry easy to configure and lots of options to tweak. Works fantastic even in bright rooms and day time (with out the Lenticular Screen). Lenticular Screen is a joke, turns the tv into a mirror practicaly, recommed not to mount it unless your room has no windows or alot of light reflecting surfaces. Go get one today and enjoy.

Everything. Although I have the speaker turned off, I don''t know the audio capabilities.

BIG!! Had to have a carpenter come over and remove my stair railings to get it up to my theater room.

This is the best I''ve ever owned. I bought a 55" Toshiba HDTV last year and thought that was great but this thing blows it away. Right out of the box this thing kicked ass. With the elite dv-37, I see things I haven''t seen before on the dvd''s I watch alot. There is nothing better out there. I considered the 73" mitsubishi but glad I got this instead.

Unbelieveable picture, cabinet finish, easy to move around for its size.

Auto switching inputs. Real PITA. If I want it to switch to a S-Video connection *I* want to do it. No DVI or IEEE 1394 inputs. This could be a problem with future HD equipment (DVHS, HD-DVD, etc). Remote is kinda big and has toooo many buttons for what it does. A few more inputs could be handy if you have a lot of component based equipment.

This is my first High Def TV. I had been looking at the 710 for a long time. I decided to jump when the local Tweeter offered some excellent financing plans. This tv is amazing. When it was delivered, the guys configured the convergance on 4 of the 5 video modes (didnt do the HD mode). I''d been watching the Olympics in High Def (thanks TimeWarner) and started tinkering with the menus. I noticed that the convergance was way out of wack for the HD mode and started working to clean it up. After I got done it was like I was watching a completely different TV. I thought it looked awesome when the whacked out convergance. Boy was I supprised when I got done. I''ve yet to see a TV that can produce the deep reds and blues that this unit can.

Excellant lind doubler and gorgeous cabinet.

Too big and heavy.

I have been a Sony man for just under 30 years having purchased my first Trintron in 1974 while a student in college. I currently own four of this with the largest being a 32" monitor. I have what I consider a killer sound system, but I thought my screen was too small. I went on a quest for a RPTV, and viewed everyone made including the Toshibas, Sonys, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, RCA and others. The Pioneer Elite beats the others hands down. Not only is it an elegant piece of furnture, but it is an intelligently designed set with the best picture I've ever seen on a rear projection. It also has the best stretch modes I've ever seen on RPTV. It cost a little more, but once you get it, you can see why, and you'll know that you have the best thats made no doubt about it.
