Samsung HC-R4755W 47-Inch HD-Ready Rear Projection TV
Great bang for the buck HDTV!
After months of research and learning about HDTV I decided on the Samsung HC-R4755W. I could not bring myself to spend even 1.5K for a TV let alone the 2-4K price range for some of the HDTV's out there.<br /><br />This TV is a table top version of a crt rear projection TV (much shorter) and comes in at only 87 pounds...WOW! My 32 inch sharp came in at 130 pounds easy. Also you don't have to deal with the highly expensive ($200-300) and sporadic lifespan of DLP's and LCD projection TV's lamps.<br /><br />After just 4 days of ownership and tweaking (still more to come) I am very happy with my purchase. HDTV looks great (some noise but I attribute that to my faulty cable campany HD receiver which I have to replace) and SD looks OK (again due to my faulty receiver) but overall by looking at what this TV is capable of I can't give it anything less than 4 stars while I wish I could have given it 4.5<br /><br />I also connected my PC via DVI and while text needs improvement it performs very well at PC gaming and Media Center type applications. While it has an auto focus feature I've found I still have to weak the TV myself with manual convergence (not done or perfected yet).<br /><br />Remember...for all TV's, your picture quality is only as good as your source.<br /><br />For the price, this TV hit's a homerun!
