RCA's new line of projection TVs provide a number of innovations. Picture in picture comes with two tuners. There are two video in slots from S-VHS video. This allows for connection of both a DVD player and a high end VCR. The remote can control everything. And it is truly an intelligent remote. It recognizes old and new devices easily. And VCR+ Gold provides all of the programing necessary, including control of your cable box for switching channels during timed recordings.
As an introduction to Projection TV this is an excellent set. And don't let anyone fool you. Projection TV is different. Funny thing is that after about two weeks you feel that a 32" TV is really really small.
As this set will accept up to 900 lines of video resolution it is a great choice for those who've invested in DVD. Be prepared to purchase a new VCR though, because those old tapes suddenly look like expressionist paintings. 200 lines of resolution gets really washed out and you're going to have to move up to S-VHS or D-VHS shortly.
The picture is crisp and clear even as close as 10 feet. The cabinet is slim enough that it doesn't need to protrude into the room. Overall this is an excellent choice until HDTV comes down in price.
The one difference with projection TV is that you have to get used to a touchy machine. This isn't your father's TV. It's more like a Jaguar that needs an occasional Tune-up, compared to your dad's old Plymouth. Fortunately most of the tuneup options are built right into the setup menu.
