245 lbs of Viewing Pleasure

After ignoring a 20" TV for a few months, we did finally replace it with a TV that I can actually see. I found a Hitachi 53SWX12B on the credit union swap sheet, and beat some guy to getting people the cash, so I won! :) Matt was kind enough to let us use him, and his truck. Pete and Scott also lent their muscles in bringing this beast down the stairs. After a brief fear that it was not going to fit through the door frame we had it all set and watched "The Ringer" I was quite pleased with it. There are a couple of small problems with it, it has a spot on the screen protector where it looks like the finish is gone, but it is not noticeable when it is on, also, when using the built in speakers there is a crackling noise for a few minutes. Thank you to Matt, for without you I would be looking at a 20 inch TV instead of a 53 inch TV.

"At $3699 retail, the 53SWX12B is no "budget" set, but high-end features like a 6-element lens system, 3-2 pulldown, and autoconvergence don't come in "budget" sets. In addition, this Hitachi has a built-in 5.1-channel Dolby Digital decoder and other features galore."
