Rating: Summary: RCA D52W136D Review: I searched for the best prices on the net and had HH Gregg match it. They Did & I saved $400. The TV is great, the detail of the picture is betond my expectations. You need a HD receiver or Direct TV to really see the quality. It's worth every dollar you pay. No I don't work for RCA or Thompson.

Rating: Summary: 16 x 9 widescreen? Review: The 16 x 9 aspect ratio of these widescreen monitors is great for dvd movies and other shows formatted to it. However since most broadcast shows are in 4 x 3 format you must stretch your picture to fill the screen. This does cause some distortion. Because watching the tv constantly with the black bars can cause screen burning you need to fill the screen image. This cannot be done, however, when watching from a component feed. Only with coaxial or s link will the remote adjust your picture. Freeze also does not work with component. It seems a shame that the high definition hookup with component feed ( supposedly the best method) does not allow these features. I must say however that the picture with an s cable is excellent. DVD picture is excellent as well although slow motion is average. Owners manual is average and needs more detail. This unit fits in a corner, taking up less space, than any of the other major brands I examined. In short, widescreens require more adjustments so keep the remote handy.
