LG (vs. Hitachi, Toshiba) RPTV? (1 Viewer)

[KevinM]

I think I've narrowed down my TV choices to either the LG 44" DLP (RU-44SZ61D) or the Hitachi 42" LCD (42V515) - may also consider the Toshiba 44" DLP.

Picture quality looks pretty similar on the LG and the Hitachi but the LG is a bit cheaper and looks much nicer esthetically, so I am leaning towards it.

I haven't come across much about the LG brand. Any thoughts about these TVs?

Thanks. Kevin.

I just purchased the 52" LG. The chassis build is nice, and oh so light. Plenty of inputs and easy to navigate OSD, even though I find it a bit castrated compared to others. HD looks awesome, with analog really depending on source, with digital being about average. The set holds black very well, but I do find the contrast ratio to be quite low. Overall a great tv for the money.
