Apex GB65HD09W 65-Inch Projection Widescreen HDTV
An HDTV with no DVI or even VGA inputs??
I was greedy.  I thought I could have my cake and eat it too.  Oh well...<br />I'll admit that I purchased this set before I had taken the time to fully evaluate it specs.  Every other HDTV I'd looked at in the past month had inputs to allow a computer to be hooked up--either DVI or VGA--so I assumed that this was a common feature on any high resolution display.  In preparation for this TV's arrival, I had invested about $$$$$$ in an HTPC (home theater PC) only to find that the thing could not be connected up to the Apex!  Grrrr...  I now have a new $$$$ VGA card on the way that supposedly supports a component dongle, but why should I have had to go to the trouble?  I guess that's just one of the many areas where Apex cut corners in order to maintain the low price point.<br />As for the picture quality, I suppose it's OK for the price but still not on the same level as other brands.  Much to my surprise, when I compared the picture on my Apex (which I spent over 2 hours calibrating using an AVIA test disc in addition to some of my preferred \\"reference\\" DVDs like Fifth Element superbit and Toy Story) to an UNCALIBRATED Samsung DLP-based RPTV at the store, the Sammy definitely came out on top in terms of color accuracy, brightness, viewing angle, and quality of internal scaler<br />Since I can't return it, I think I'm going to have to gift this one to my parents...
