Panasonic PT-53WX53 53-Inch Widescreen HD-Ready Projection TV
Panasonic 53&quot; HD ready TV.  Best set for your $$ hands down.
I had a long time to research which TV I was going for and if you want a theater style experience with lots of great features, and fit it into a budget, get this set.  The biggest consideration in my opinion AFTER image quality (which is outstanding, but that's been dertermined in other reviews) is Aspect Ratio and how the TV deals with the two different formats.  (There are several aspect ratios, but I'm speaking on 16:9 &quot;theater&quot; &amp; 4:3 &quot;television&quot;)  This set does a good job of giving you several basic formats in which to choose from.  If you're looking for a TV that you can completely fine tune your picture with several zoom settings, this may dissapoint.  I found that they've included the perfect mix and I constantly find a perfect aspect ratio for me.  One setting titled &quot;JUST&quot; takes a 4:3 image and keeps the center 2/3's in original aspect and gradually stretchs the remaining 1/3 equally to the edges, this gives the most pleasing results for TV viewing.  On another note, Please read the manual for any TV you purchase.  The manual of this set says to not use the 4:3 drop down (which will make a television (4:3) signal display in the correct aspect, but will leave you with bars on the left and right of the screen) should be used LESS THAN 15% of the time.  If you don't you'll get image burn in.  And nobody wants that.   <br />I would recommend Panasonic TV's to anyone, this is my second, and I will continue to purchase them in the distant future.
