RCA F38310 38" 16:9 HDTV with Built-In DirecTV and HDTV Receivers
This TV is a waste of money
RCA you need to start over. The picture is great if your watching DVD's and more specifically only 16:9 ratio DVD's. If you watch anything in a 4:3 aspect ratio and you want the image to look normal you are watching it on a 29 inch screen. If you stretch the image with the only two options you have full (looks like a fun house mirror) and fill (you loose two inches of image at the top and bottom of the screen) it looks terrible. RCA you need to do a better job and offer more options for a more normal conversion of a 4:3 aspect ratio signal. The most annoying of all things with this TV is the HDTV fan that runs 24 hours a day. It never shuts off! Not only is it a huge waste of energy but at some point it will break. After reading other reviews of the lousy service RCA provides for customer support I decided to return my product before it was to late and something broke. There are better TV's at about the same price and although they are a couple of inches smaller the are way better. Don't get lured into the 38 inch size only attraction of this set. Stay away!
