pilsen & classicman,
I am initially thinking of getting Hitachi TX100 model (Front projector) pero I am leaning towards RPTV kasi it will be used mostly sa regular broadcast channels. Mga 20% to 30% lang and DVD. Takot ako sa bulb life ng Front Projector kung gagamitan lang sya sa ganun.
Since pareho kayong kumuha ng widescreen, based sa watching habit ko (hehehe, mostly pala misis ko and ako mostly DVD), ano recommend nyo kunin ko? Mas gusto ko 47inches 16:9 pero baka kasi ayaw ni misis ang ganun dahil parati local channels lang pinapanood. Yung stretch mode naman distorts the picture, yung zoom deletes some parts of the screen. Takot din ako sa burn-in issue na nababasa ko.
Have you both considered Toshiba models? Ano masasabi nyo sa picture quality nila against Hitachi?
i would certainly recommend that you opt for the widescreen coz its the thing of the future, hehehe
, as to the size of the TV, well it will depend on the room where you intend it to place on, pinili ko ang maliit na 47inches lang since my music room is not that big
as to comparison with toshiba rptv, i did consider toshiba also since the store where i bought mine happened to carry it, i requested a side by side audition of the two using the same source of dvd movie, the result was pretty obvious, toshiba was soundly beaten in all the departments so to speak
but that's just me, so i suggest you also request for a side by side audition and let your own judgment decide, hope this helps
