Summary: TV is great, hook-up leaves a lot to be desired.
Review: I bought this yesterday, so I don't know a lot about the TV itself. I am writing the review because of the hook-up. I have all of my components (including the TV) running through my receiver. It took me about an hour to get the TV to show a picture. The manual gives you three options for hook-up, none of which include the receiver. I hooked the TV up as I did my old TV, nothing. I rearranged some plugs, still nothing. I did this for about an hour before I received a picture. I was not worried about sound because it is run to my surround sound system, so the audio jacks aren't used. All this work was just to get a picture. The TV does have some cool features, which I cannot use. The remote does not support the cable box and DVD player I have. All in all, it's not a bad set. It could be a little more user friendly, however.

Summary: A TV for Today but Plasma later
Review: Well, I was about to buy a HD-TV projection screen tv because I wanted a large TV. Everywhere I go I could see the lack of sharpness, whites and covergence issues (requires adjusmtments, cleaning mirrors) with ALL projection screen television...plus where is HD-TV. Therefore, the biggest screen I could get in regular TV is 36". I decided on the RCA because it was cheap and the TV looks nice due to the all black look and rectangular image affect. I upgraded from a 27inch.The TV was rated pretty good on consumer reports except for the breakdown issue. I am aware that the TV will probably age faster than a Sony, but this TV is just to fill in until the Plasma screens drop in price. The problem with projection is obvious. Plasma is perfect but expensive. A 36 tv like this is just to help in the meantime. Speakers are excellent. Colors very good. Sharpness pretty good. Need some help in contrast because dark scenes are darker on this set. Price paid. 547. Yes, it not as good a sony Wega flat 36" screen...this is a Big 36 inch. the footprint is 38 inches plus. Considering what I paid for it...it does a descent job. When plasma gets to be 1500 bucks....I going for it
