Was buying this Projection TV a good decision do you all think? Consumer Reports in march issue gave last years model 57H83 first place in there ratings betting out Sony, Panasonic and all the other manufacturers out there so I think it must a pretty good TV. I love playing my Xbox on it in 720p it looks killer with the games that support that resolution. I payed about $1,450.00 with a 4 year service plan with Best Buy, I hope I made the right decision. Anyways if you have anything you would like to say please do I have to get back to MK6, I love this TV so far.

It's a nice CRT set. Can't beat the value of a CRT. But the native resolution on that set is 1080i, not 720p. I don't think CRT's do 720p, just RP LCD's and DLP's. I could be wrong.


But to answer your question, it was a good decision if YOU are happy. Who cares what anyone else thinks.

It accepts 720p inputs (along with 480i, 480p, and 1080i) but upconverts everything to 1080i. The only exception is that you can choose to display a 480p input as 540p instead of 1080i. From comments on the longer Toshiba crt rptv thread, there isn't much difference between how 540p and 1080i look when playing a progressive scan dvd.

This is correct.But, 720p looks fantastic converted to 1080i. Also DLP and LCD sets that support 720p also display 1080i converted to 720p very well also. What's really more important to how a signal will look on your, set is

how good the original feed and compression are. Enjoy it, and make sure to mix in a good mix of material on your set to avoid burn-in if you plan on gaming alot. Turn all your settings down to 50% or less to help reduce the risk and ultimately, get a set-up disc and do a good manual convergence.:D
