My 11 year old Sony 50es has bit the dust and am in the hunt for a new home theater receiver. The one before the Sony was a Yamaha CR2020 which I had for 22 years. So I don't change often. Have temporarily channeled sound directly to TV. If I was willing to spend $2000, my choice would be...
CNET has reviewed the 46" version of the 85U series. Panasonic TH-46PZ85U Flat-panel TV reviews - CNET Reviews The negatives are as follows: "Poor noise reduction; less-accurate color temperature and primary colors; fewer picture controls than many HDTVs." I will be buying the...
I have a SA 2000HD Cable box hooked to a Hitachi 43uwx10b. The component hook up works fine for HD programming. I tried to utilize the SVideo hook for non HD programming. I was getting faint light and dark vertical 'stripes' about 1/4 to 1/2" wide accross the entire screen. When I switched to...
Picked up and installed a Time Warner HD Scientific Atlanta converter yesterday connecting it to my Hitachi 43UWX10B. I connected it three ways.. Component, Svideo and RF. I have a digital coax connection to my 50ES receiver from the converter.
In my area, we have PBS which includes a HD...
Sears delivered a Hitachi 43UWX10B Friday.. Price on price match minus 10% was 1660 for the TV + 162 for the matching stand +45 delivery + tax. These are my short initial impressions. I am not a videophile.
First this set is more than big enough for the room.. 14' x 16' and it had to be...
I don't buy exentended warranties. In the last 10 years, for all my electronics and appliances I have only had 2 out of warranty problems for a total cost of $325. (leave out auto's) Extended warranties would have cost me in the 1000's for all those products.
Now, I have just purchased a...
Just bought the Hitachi 43UWX10B for 1812.47 including delivery and the 6.5% NC tax. They priced matched 1844.00 off the net and took off another 10% for price of 1704.60. I was pleasantly surprised. Sears had a 10% off everything sale including sale prices. The salesman also gave be an...
As I go to chose a HD ready 16:9 set, with the choices being Hitachi 43UWX10B, Tosh 42H81, Mits WT-46809 I noticied that the Hitachi lists 720P(1080i/720p/480p/480i) as an acceptable input, the Mits lists (480i/480p/1080i) but does not mention 720P and Tosh does not say anything on its web...
From this forum, I was pretty set on the Tosh 42H81. However, I saw the Hitachi 43uwx10b and was reasonably impressed and I can not find the Tosh 42H81 in my area, North Carolina Triangle (Chapel Hill, Durham and Raleigh). I also looked at the Mits 46" but I am confined by space and the Tosh...
Would like to have some opinions on this. My gut says the Toshiba, but there are 2 factors driving me to the Hitachi.
1) The fact that it is table top and will take some components underneath the set is better for my particular setup.
2) Sears sells this set which means, I can price match but...
