I'm a new member and like a lot of folks I'm in the market for a new RPT. My needs are simple, the majority of my time will be watching 70% standard cable channels (1-100), 20% digital cable and 10% rented DVD's.
My primary considerations are price, very good but not necessarily the best picture quality, reliability, and ease of use. I'm particulalry concerned about 1) the units ability to expand 4:3 pictures in a way the minimizes distortion and 2) the relative clarity of the picture when viewing analog cable channels.
I have narrowed my search down to the Hitachi (57UWX20B) and Toshiba (57H82) units. I know that the SWX model is highly recommend but I cannot justify the $400-$500 difference. I also won't likely be willing to put out the $500 to $700 required for a top notch calibration but I did ask Santa to give me a copy of the Avia CD and the Radio Shack sound pulse meter.
What do you think, the Toshia or the Hitachi?
Thanks in advance for taking the time to share your experience with me!
