I'm looking to purchase my first HDTV and am looking at the Apex 51-inch HDTV GB51HD09 (rear projection). I was just wondering if anyone knows/ has an opinion on:
1- Apex as a brand and their HDTVs in particular. It's so cheap at $1100 and the specs look good (as far as I can tell) that it seems like there must be a catch.
2- How good this TV is or other Apex HDTVs are at showing movies using the 2:3 pulldown correction for watching dvd movies?
3- Will this tv display 720p images w/o converting them to 1080i? Amazon says it will display "Signal type: NTSC, decoded ATSC: 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i" I know 720p w/o conversion is a rare feature, but it is very important to me.
4- Is this really progressive scan if it says it doesn't have "Line Doubling"? What is Line Doubling?
Thank you very much for any thoughts, advice, or suggestions!
