Apex GB55HD09W 55-Inch Projection Widescreen HDTV-Ready TV
Great TV (Sacramento, CA)
Based on the reviews I read here I went out and bought this Brand New from Comp USA for $999.96 + $77tax + $99.00 for a 4-yr In-Home warranty. Not a bad price if you ask me. I almost bought a 50in Toshiba Refurbished for $1200 + $250ship from eCost.com. Needless to say I could not be happier with this television. It is huge (55in) and the picture is crystal clear after making a few minor easy adjustments via the remote. Don't be disappointed at first because an adjustment will be likely before it looks great. The packing was outstanding so it was easier to move into my house without damaging it. It is heavy and took three strong guys to complete the move. Once out of the box it is easy to move around because it has wheels on the bottom and it also came with coasters to put on the wheels for thicker carpeting. At first I couldn't find the remote and manual but when I looked harder I found it taped to the bottom of the TV. The remote is a little cheap looking but it gets the job done and it doesn't bother me much since I will be using my other learning remote to operate it. The picture-in-picture works great with the double tuner the TV comes with. The sound is amazing despite a little hard to hear hiss I hear from the TV that might just be coming from other components I have. My progressive scan Panasonic DVD recorder compliments this TV perfect. Since I only had the TV a few day I cant give much more info. If you can get your hands on this HDTV I would highly recommend it. This TV is replacing a 36in Sony TV I had from 4 years ago.
