Apex GB65HD09W 65-Inch Projection Widescreen HDTV
The Beast Arrived!
Awaiting the arrival of my tv I went to Compusa to get component video cables to plug my dvd into the tv once it arrived. In the store they had the Apex 55&quot; on display, I was immediately impressed with its appearance then I looked at the picture quality and had some concerns because it appeared washed out and not as bright as the &quot;name&quot; brand tv's sorrounding it. The arrival of the beast came the following day and being the man that I am I set the instructions aside and plugged the appropriate plugs into the tv and was extremely paranoid because of what I saw the previous day at Compusa. I turned on the tv and because I don't need to read instructions (man thing) nothing was adjusted and the picture coming out of my dvd was blue, of course I paniced and thought I just threw $1,500. out the window. I picked up the instructions and read some (we men can read and learn when we have/want to) then made some adjustments and was completely blown away at it's clarity. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because (1) I've only had it for 2 days and (2) I really do not see the difference between the s-video and the component video coming out of my dvd. Does anyone who has this tv know what I might be doing wrong? Other than that I have been enjoying the mammouth size tv tremendously. I was one of the fortunate ones who received the tv within 6 days. Appearance-wise the picture on Amazon does not do it justice it totally blows all other &quot;boxy&quot; looking projection tv's away. It is a little slow when switching inputs. The inputs Apex hid on the side of the tv is a class act, just push it in and out comes extra inputs for your camcorder, etc. I am thoroughly satified and will recommend purchasing one. My neighbor's currently trying to sell his 61&quot; to get this tv. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions - jemj@excite.com , especially if you have the answer to my question.
