| 51" Rear Projection TV - $700. Worth buying? |

Opinions are just that, opinions. I bought a used 52' RCA projection TV 3 years ago for $600 (retailed for $1200!). It was a year old at the time and had a great picture, I tested it at the store with a PS2 and DOA 2. I've since made 1 repair, cost $225 about a year ago, the circuit board needed resoldering in several spots, a common problem with RCAs. Having said that, we've enjoy our set, it gets used every day for at least 8-12 hours. It's not even a wide-screen or HD capable but for us it was such a step up from the 27" Zenith, we were overjoyed. I, for one, for financial reasons mostly can't dive into HDTV, much less lcd/plasma right now. Not everyone can afford or needs the latest, greatest, expensive gadget. For a basement family room I think you are making a good choice. Hell, you're getting HDTV at a just $100 over what I paid for my regular TV a few years ago. I think your family will enjoy it. But that's just my own opinion ;D ARCADIAC! |

8-12 hours is a lot. That must be a lot of people in and out. I'd have no problem with going with this one except that he said he'd probably replace it in a year with what he actually wants. That's the killer. |

FYI saint, Walmart will be having a 52" rear projeciton hdtv for $474 on Black Friday. ;D |
| ChadTower:
Damn that's low. He could buy that and sell it for 85-90% of what he paid when the time comes in a year. |
| saint:
No kidding. I can't find it listed. The 42" I find listed is $988. Got a link? |
