Panasonic PT56HX41 56-Inch HDTV-Ready Projection TV

I can't list price, but I paid well below other brands in a similar size because I got it at a Thanksgiving special at circuit city. I am extremely pleased with it so far. Excellent picture (slight differences in brightness and quality when comparing side to side at the store, but are you going to do that at home?) providing outstanding picture on everything I've watched, DVDs and cable. This TV has it all for a great price: HDTV, progressive scan doubling, 3:2 pulldown, great virtual surround sound, built in protective screen, picture in picture and split screen, nice remote, etc. Sure it's not plasma quality, no projection TV is. But for your buck you can't go wrong with it. I'm still AMAZED!!! Only problem is that the 56" is slightly TOO big for my little apartment! Enjoy!

After researching all the tvs . I've noticed that the panasonic only came with 850 lines of horizontal resolution compared to toshiba's 1200.. I would have expected the panasonic to have better picture quality than the other as the price is higher.. but I'm not sure if that's the case... I don't have the toshiba next to me to compare.. but i do notice that when i watch regular cable on the tv, that it is noticabley not as sharp as I thought it would be...

Although it's hard to judge as in the stores they always play dvd quality images..

I am very impressed by the remote being able to handle my receiver and my DirectTV remote..

If you're expecting plasma quality, don't look here. I paid $... for this TV, which was a bargain. The quality isn't perfect, but I would have had to pay double for that. It certainly is a move up on my 11-year old 27" TV.

One caution, filtering your incoming analog signal can make all of the difference.....
