Pioneer SD-533HD5 53 in. HDTV CRT TV

If you're looking for an unbelievable rear projection HDTV- let me tell to look no further. I previously had a Hitachi that died after only 7 months service. I then found that the larger Wal-Mart stores have this model in stock. If you can't find it in a store near you, it's available at Walmart.com for $1868 plus $98 delivery including unpacking and placing it in your home. There was a $200 price cut just in the last month at the store.

Pioneer is known for outstanding projection tv sets. As for the picture--it's unreal...like looking at a postcard even with my standard cable signal. With my progressive dvd player and monster component cables, my jaw drops and I still find it hard to believe how spectacular the picture is. It was almost perfect straight out of the box except for a little dark and contrast all the way up. There are five stretch modes for watching 4:3 pictures so you don't have to worry about burn-in and the cinema wide mode doesn't look distorted at all.

This TV is known to have one of the best line doublers in the industry and standard definition, such as cable (SD) signal looks fantastic. Two tuners and picture in picture allow a search of other channels or the ability to watch two different sources split up the center of the screen. The remote is intelligently laid out and very easy to use.

Pioneer's reliability and reputation are second to none.
