Hitachi 43FWX20B 43-Inch 16:9 Projection HD-Ready Monitor/TV
Tied for the best on the market
As a former salesman of big screens, this one is easily tied for my favorite with the Mitsubishi 46\\" HDTV widescreen.  Mitsubishi has an edge on color and lighting, Hitatchi has the edge on clarity and overall realism due to the most lenses on the market.<BR>First off, this TV is complex, yet simple.  Plenty of features and inputs, but simple enough for anyone to use.  The Magic focus is a great example.  Hit one button and the TV automatically sets the convergence. <BR>Next is the size.  One needs to know the stand built for this TV sells seperatly...so that's one thing to consider before you buy.  If you get the stand, you'll quickly notice how much easier it is moving a two piece system into your home instead of a solid one piece TV.  <BR>While small in comparision to a lot of HDTV's on the market, this TV still looks huge once you get it into your home.  And with the quality of the picture, you'll be glad you didn't get a larger TV for the same price from some lower quality brand.<BR>I'll admit, sound isn't the greatest.  But if you're buying an HDTV, you should be investing in surround sound anyways.  <BR>Another huge feature this TV has that most brands don't is an auto refresh not found on earlier models and other brands.  Basically, if you're watching something in 4:3 mode with bars on the side, the TV automatically refreshes the bars constantly so that they don't get burned into the screen.  It's constant too so you don't even notice. <BR>Overall, this is a great buy.  Compare it to the Mitsubishi.  Decide which is better for you.  I can guarentee you won't be disappointed.
