I just finished watching King Kong on HD DVD and let me say that my tears at the end of the movie weren't only for poor King Kong. In 1080i other than some very rare flicker and rare instances where text on the very edges of the screen near the corners seem slightly blurred the image quality is unbelievable in every way. CRTs have great black levels and for 1200 plus tax this mammoth TV beats my Sanyo PLV-Z5 projector that cost $1800 in overall image quality when watching high definition DVDs. If you could fit it I would get the 65" while they still make these wonders. Your 51" should have the same wonderful picture quality. I have no regrets at all!!!!!
My model number is the 65F59A.
What Was the Overall Review on the Circuit City Board?
I've found the reviews on Circuit City's Website are very reliable & not censored by Circuit City. If the overall Review on this is 4.6 (out of 5) it's a definite keeper. If it's under 4.3 Do Not Buy. I'm not sure what this cost you but I know you can get an excelent Mitsubishi 48" rear Projector CRT HDTV for around $1200. I bought mine 3 years ago when it was $1600 & it's a great set.
