Hello Everyone
I have been reading this and various other forums for a few weeks, researching to buy a new TV. I currently have DirecTV and want to get into HDTV, as well as a large screen TV. I am considering buying the Hitachi 57UWX20B (unless someone has a compelling reason to by the SWX), since it seems to give a lot of bang for the buck. I am also looking to buy a HDTV DirecTV receiver as well as a Surround system later this year, so spending more than $2500 on a TV will be hard to justify at this time. However, I have seen the Sammy DLP, and it looks great. Just too expensive right now.
My viewing habits are currently 80% TV, 20% DVD. I have read various posts that indicated that HDTV ready TVs will magnify the artifacts and shortcomings of Satellite and Digital Cable, making regular TV a not so good experience.
For those of you that have DirecTV with the Hitachi or other large screen TVs, what is the story? Will I be disappoint going from my 27" (10 Years old) Sony to the Hitachi? I don't expect to be blown away watching regular TV, but I certainly do not want to take a step back in Picture Quality.
Any comments would be appriciated.
Thanks,
Pat
