Panasonic PT-61LCX65 61-Inch Widescreen HD-Ready LCD Projection TV
Awesome TV for a great price!
I've spent about 3 to 4 months trying to decide what kind of big screen TV to buy. With so many options available (plasma, DLP, LCD, etc.), buying a TV can be a head-splitting task. However, after considering what I want out of a big screen TV as well as my budget, I finally decided that this TV is the way to go. One drawbacks I read with LCD projection TVs is the \\"screen door effect\\" which is really obvious if you are sitting close to the TV. Since I'm at a comfortable distance away from the TV, I don't see this at all. Overall, the picture quality is awesome. I have yet to subscribe to HDTV (Charter Communications has a waiting list...sheesh!)...but the picture is excellent for standard TV reception. The picture is even better with DVDs and games (I have hooked up a Gamecube and PS2 to this). I think one of the reviewers below mentioned the price of the stand...yes, it is somewhat pricey...but you don't really much of an option since the manual states that this is the stand they recommend for the TV...and if you're putting down this much money on a TV, it's best to spend a little extra to ensure that the whole thing doesn't topple over. The Panasonic stand comes with features to prevent the TV from tipping over...or you can also chain the TV to the wall (I swear...this is in the manual). So if you're looking for a nice big screen TV for a reasonable price, this TV is the way to go.
