Very interesting article in the March 2006 issue of Home Theater mag, they tested 54 sets to see if they could process all 1080i lines and which do not.
I can contest to the RCA HD50LPW175(DLP) failing, because I had that model and even though the tv and the dvd player said 1080i/720p/480p it all looked the same and it didn't look good. For example my older RCA 36in tube tv with regular 480i looked(picture quality) much better then the RCA HD50LPW175.
If your not satisfied with HD quality try one of these. I have a Hitachi 50V500 and added this to it with Directv standard recivers, and quality is HD on all channels without paying extra for a few HD channels. Absolutely incredible what it can do to a large screen picture!
I have a 65" WS-65857 which is either 2000 0r 2001. We had to have the convergence fixed last year. Which cost over $500.00. I just had the HD connected last week and the regular and digital programming is coming in fine but the HD is going in green. The cable installer tried 2 different HD boxes and the same happened. Does anyone know anything about cost of having this fixed, he said the Blue does not come thru. I am wondering if this is a problem worth trying to fix or if we should just get a new set. Also does anyone know anything about selling sets to others who might not be able to buy new. I would appreciate any help that I get.
I don't know what the above post has to do with this thread?
This seems like a ripoff for manufacturers to claim they have 720p/1080i sets and they can even process it.

I bought the 166 pk @ Costco this week. Some of the PQ was a little fuzzy until I adjusted my settings for my Cablevision SA 4200HD and the TV settings. After that, the PQ seems really good in either SD or HD. Now I am crossing my fingers and hoping that this things lasts for a while with no problems.
