Hitachi 60CX29B 60" Projection TV
A must for the money conscious buyer!
This tv, although I just got it the other day, is just about what you should expect from a $1500.00 60 inch television.  It takes a while to fine tune the video controls to get the picture just right, but once you do,  you'll be very happy with the $1500.00 you spent on it.  This is Hitachi's  introductory model and is just that.  Although it lacks alot of the  features of Hitachi's higher end models it performs quite well.  I do,  however, recommend getting a plastic shield for it.  This will do two  things, 1: protect it from just about anything and 2: get rid of the lines  that you see and greatly improve clarity. It also has a number of inputs on  the back including a set of component video jacks which is great if you  have  dvd player.  I've added a Toshiba 6109c dvd player with integrated  250 watt DolbyDigital 5.1 and DTS decoder to it.  Plus a set of Klipsch  Quintet speakers.  All in all for the money, this is the best buy in town.   You can't find a 60 inch anywhere near the quality of this one for this  price. I would definately recommend it to anyone in the market for a  quality projection television.  If you have a little more cash, you should  probably upgrade to Hitachi's SBX model, which incorporates and  auto-convegience system and a included protective shield.
