Pros Beautiful picture, lighter and smaller than other projection televisions. Cons Blacks and detail not as good as other sets, only two component inputs. Recommended it? Yes This is a television for the masses, not the high-end user. If you are willing to compromise on picture, and some space, then it is an good HDTV solution.

Recommended it? No Rear Projection - Lamp will burn out. We've had the TV 3 years. After 1 year the TV got an orange band across the top of the screen. The orange band is about 8 inches long.
