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

<< < (4/8) > >>

Arcadiac:
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!

ChadTower:

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.

shardian:
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?
