I'm looking to buy a 57" RPTV for a room sized 15' X 15'. I guess I'll be sitting about 7-9' from the TV. My viewing material is divided evenly between DVDs, D-Theater tapes, and crappy Direct TV.


I've been lurking here for awhile at it seems that there is a toss up between which TV is the best.


I like the fact that the Hitachi use the Wide Neck CRTs. But are they greater than 7"? I know Pioneer uses 7" CRTs.


Direct TV picture quality. . .I hear its better on the Pioneer than the Hitachi. Anyone else agree?


Firewire connectivity not too important to me. Anything digital will have to been converted to analog on these RPTVs? Right? Any difference between PQ between firewire or component video?


Regards,

For what it matters, I just bought a 51swx20b on friday. I havent left it alone and the final four games looked awesome. I dont know about pioneer but i can say that the SWX models are awesome. I have digital cable and twc 3100hd box and the analog stations look fine. People said it was bad, but no. It isn't.

And the HD stations....leaves me in awe.

Both tv's are proabably good....so go out and buy one of them and have fun.

Flip a coin.
