I watched Jurrasic Park on that one.

It's one of a few RPTVs that I really like, because it is so compact, most of the others have a boxy stand below with no shelves. This one comes with a glass shelf that extends further than the edge of the screen (it may cost extra??). I'm not sure about the sound, as we used a Sony 5.1 Speaker system. The picture was good, very colourful.

I cant say much more cos I haven't seen many other RPTVs, and I don't own it.

It looks like a cool set. What price can you get it for?

Peace...

Forget about it! This set was a major disappointment. In another thread that I started, regarding the SAMSUNG DLP set, I was able to do a side by side comparison. Don't even waste your time on this set. The blacks are horrible and the color purity is quite muted. I' m glad that I was able to view the two sets togther before making a final decission. Granted this looks better than most LCD's, but pales by comparison to the SAMSUNG DLP set (HLN-5065W). Also, both sets were priced between $3,500-$4,000.
