Oh my Gosh, Look at that!!
Pros
Great picture, wonderful sound
Cons
The warranty was unnecessary, get a screen protector
Recommended it?
Yes
My husband and I bought this TV about 2 years ago. He wanted a big screen (I don't know why) and we settled on this one.
The Good Things
This TV is extremely easy to set up. The directions are very clear, and the plugs on the back are well defined and marked. They make it easy for you to plug everything in where it belongs, and help those of us who are gadget challenged to not blow up the TV.
The picture is GREAT. With a TV this large, picture is obviously not a problem. You can see everything in detail, and you really get into the movies and shows more. We really like the PIP feature, as it allows my husband to watch more than one football game at a time. (Replays are great to watch on this, as you REALLY see what happened).
It's easy to move as it's on rollers. This is a big plus, because with something this big, if it wasn't on rollers, it would be impossible to live with.
The sound is wonderful. You really experience the whole movie with sound like this, as you can hear a movie as it was meant to be heard, in surround sound. This is a BIG plus in having a TV like this.
Now the BAD
A projection TV, by definition, projects the picture onto a screen. The screen is made up of thousands of rows of lines, which are covered with a black paint or covering. As you watch and use your TV, obviously, little things can bump into the screen. These bumps can cause parts of the black paint to chip off, leaving your screen with blank spots since the picture cannot project to something that is not there. After a few years, this can cause a lot of problems with your TV as it becomes near to unusable.
We bought a protective screen to put over our projection screen. The protective screen is a clear, thin plastic cover that keeps the projection screen unharmed, and I feel that it was the best purchase that we made when we bought the TV. It cost $150.00, and has extended the life of our TV greatly.
They will try to talk you into the extended warranty. This warranty covers everything EXCEPT the actual projection screen, which is not covered under any extended warranty, and is the one part of the TV that is most likely to fail if anything does. Learn from my mistake, DON'T buy the warranty. We paid $350 for an extended warranty that we never used, and it brought the price of the TV up considerably.
All in all, would I buy this TV again? If I knew then what I knew now, probably. I like the TV, and enjoy watching it very much. The only problem that I have is now I can't get my husband out from in front of it!
