Hey all,
I was looking for a Big Screen to tide me over for a while until i get a new WS HD, and I have a friend who is gonna sell me an 8 year old 55 inch 4:3 Rear projection TV for under $300. He wants to get rid of it so he can upgrade his system. . Now, I know that this tv has componnent in, so it is more than capable than producing an excellent picture from DVD....that's why I am interested. It's a name brand, but I was so excited that he was selling it, I forgot the name... I will be going to check it out this week.
Now, my question is, what are some things i should look for, signs of burnin, bad color, problems, etc.? I figured i shoudl make a DVD with screenshots of different full screen colors to test for burn in, etc. He mentioned that it works great, and that he also plays playstation on it
Please share any ideas. I am looking fo ideas so that 1) i don't buy a faulty TV and 2) if there are minor problems I can talk him down in price...
Thanks for your help - you can email me at [email protected] or reply here...
Thanks again,
Matt
