RCA F36669 36" TV
A TV for Today but Plasma later
Well, I was about to buy a HD-TV projection screen tv because I wanted a large TV.  Everywhere I go I could see the lack of sharpness, whites and covergence issues (requires adjusmtments, cleaning mirrors) with ALL projection screen television...plus where is HD-TV.  Therefore, the biggest screen I could get in regular TV is 36\\".  I decided on the RCA because it was cheap and the TV looks nice due to the all black look and rectangular image affect.  I upgraded from a 27inch.<br />The TV was rated pretty good on consumer reports except for the breakdown issue.  I am aware that the TV will probably age faster than a Sony, but this TV is just to fill in until the Plasma screens drop in price.<br />The problem with projection is obvious.  Plasma is perfect but expensive.  A 36 tv like this is just to help in the meantime.<br />Speakers are excellent. Colors very good.  Sharpness pretty good.  Need some help in contrast because dark scenes are darker on this set.<br />Price paid.  547. Yes, it not as good a sony Wega flat 36\\" screen...this is a Big 36 inch.  the footprint is 38 inches plus.<br />Considering what I paid for it...it does a descent job.  When plasma gets to be 1500 bucks....I going for it
