7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Picture, Sound, HDMI, Lamp Life
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

I have owned this TV since August 2004. We bought this TV at Best Buy after comparing Samsung and Sony models in this price range. We have been extremely happy with the quality of picture and the durability of the unit. The LCD engine was great compared to the rainbow plagued DLPs back then. Last... Read full review »

Nice Set, Bad bulbs

byhorkydue29 Nov 14, 2005
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros When it works it has a great picture. Pretty user friendly controls and manuel.
Cons Bulb failures will take away the joy of ownership.
Recommended it? No

I purchased this product 13 months ago and have had two bulbs blow out; one every 5-6 months. If it had not been under warranty it would have cost me $630.00 to purchase new bulbs. Panasonic's owners manual says the bulbs should last 10,000 hours. When you get a replacement bulb they only warrant... Read full review »

Recommended it? No

I had great expectations when I bought this rear projection LCD HDTV in November 2004. In early November I took delivery of this set that was manufactured in October 2004.

The TV really had a fairly narrow depth (16 3/8") to the case so it didn't take up as much room as many other RPTVs... Read full review »

Pros looks, SD picture, 2 HDMI inputs
Cons not a plasma
Recommended it? Yes

When I started looking for a big TV, I realized that the majority of my viewing for the next few years would be DVDs and SD TV. I ruled out a plasma (my first choice-Panasonic was the best)because my kids wanted a TV that they could play video games on.

The Hitachi was better by a wide... Read full review »
