Zenith D52WLCD 52-Inch LCD Projection HDTV-Ready TV
Two Major Repairs needed in first year.
My opinion has changed to 1 star...    April, 2005 Update:  My television was FINALLY picked up and the refund check was received 4/08/05.  LG Electronics refunded the original purchase price less shipping.  I was thrilled with the outcome.  The nightmare is over.  It took appr. 3 months to get my check, so if anyone is still waiting for their check, I wanted to tell you to keep the faith.  I also called them numerous times to check on the status of my claim, but I can at least say they DID keep their promise and they sent me a refund.    March, 2005 Update:  No TV since 12/27/04.  Zenith has decided to pick up television and send me a refund.  Parts were not available and thank goodness they do not make this model anymore.  I am still waiting for the refund and sincerely hope Zenith makes good on their promise.  I will do a final update when/if my check is received.      12/27/04: I LOVE my Zenith D52WLCD 52\\" LCD Projection HDTV-Ready TV, when it is working.  It never did come on very quickly, but I thought that was normal.  Within six months, the television would not come on at all.  The light SHOULD start out red, then flash yellow, then turn green.  Mine would flash yellow.... flash yellow... then turn red and just stop.  The picture would never come on.  We had repairs finalized in September, 2004.  On 12/27/04, the same thing has started happening again.  Although the Zenith customer service people have been very courteous and kind, I still have trouble dealing with a television that was this expensive needing two repairs within one year.  I do not know if I was just unlucky and received a lemon, or if other televisions will experience this problem later.  So if you notice that it takes longer and longer for the picture to come on, contact Zenith immediately.  As far as the television performance...we have Dishnetwork with the High Definition package.  The HD channels are unbelievably clear, using the component video.  (This television does not have DVI input.)  The clarity and color of the high-def channels make you wish all channels were in high-def.  S-video is used for the other digital channels.  The picture, clarity, color are all great.  The Zoom2 is fabulous for stretching 4:3 to 16:9.  I have no complaints with this television other than the power-up problem.  Hopefully, I will get it resolved soon, because once you have a widescreen, it is very difficult to go back to square.
