Samsung or Toshiba CRT RPTV? (1 Viewer)

[David Ely]

I'm currently looking to get a 42" widescreen RPTV. I was going to get the Toshiba, but then I saw the Samsung HCN4226WX at Future Shop. I was quite impressed with the picture quality and it sells for $300 less than the Toshiba.

Does anyone here have experience with this Samsung set? If so, I'd really like to hear your thoughts.

Doesn't anyone have experience with the Samsung RPTVs?

I do. I had a 42" Samsung RPTV during junior year (HCM-4215W). It was my first widescreen TV, but I was extremely pleased with its performance. There are only two issues that I can think of. The first is that the set exhibited a mild red push that wasn't really noticeable with a clean component signal, but was quite evident with low-quality cable television. Professional calibration would probably fix this. The second issue is that the convergence tended to drift. However, I strongly suspect it was due to the SVS subwoofer that was placed right beside the TV.
