Date: 2003-01-15 Bad OOBE Day 1. After wrestling this monster indoors & out of the box it really disappointed me. When I plugged in the AC cord I heard the 'chirp' of the high voltage power supply and the whirr of a fan. Pressing the power button changed nothing. There's no initial setup screen, no blue screen, no snow, nada, zip, nothing. The troubleshooting index suggests removing power & trying again in 5 minutes. No good. I've removed power & placed a fan near the vents in case condensation formed when the unit came in from its 50 degree Farenheit journey from Circuit City. We'll see where this goes. Date: 2003-01-01 RCA F38310 38" Review Very nice picture, but the fan that constantly runs is a major negative (especially in the bedroom). Date: 2002-12-19 Only 3 weeks old I have read all of the negative reviews and i am even suspect of RCA quality...but I had to buy the tv because the price was so low in comparison to other hd tv's. The fact that the hd tuner and the direct tv satellite receiver is in the set also helped my decision. So far...I love this tv. Progressive scan DVD's look wonderful and local PBS high definition programming is incredible just from an amplified indoor antenna. I see now why people compare the advent of HD to that of color television. Digitl cable is also very satisfying. Analog channels from the cable can appear gritty but I feel that is because i have seen the quality of digital and hd. I will buy the 5 year extended warranty at the end of my 30 day evaluation period and hope that my tv lasts a long time. I really am impressed with the picture quality. Date: 2002-12-16 RCA F38310 38" 16:9 HDTV My husband did lots of research on this product and for the money we got a great deal. Great picture We watch mostly DVDs so it did not really matter how the regular analog channels worked. Besides in probably a couple of years there will be a lot more HDTV channels available. The ones that are out there look great. We also surf the web using the tv. We built a computer to do this and play our kids software on it. The XBOX games are 100s better on this Date: 2002-12-13 Great for the money but a few flaws. I purchased TV. in Dec 2001 And I like 75% of the reviewers had a problem which needed to be repaired. Thankfully the tech repaired it in house and from the symptons I told him he new the trouble before he opened the TV. He had seen the same trbl before 2 capacitors were bad in the power supply. Yes the fan runs 24/7 and it bothered me at first but now I dont even notice it. No video output to record directv channels, speakers sound bad at high volumes when watching certain shows, The local channels dont look as sharp as on an analog tv. But on the plus side The picture with HDTV or DVD is phenominal, It is the largest widescreen direct view on the market. And it is cheaper then most 34" widescreen. It has HDTV tuner and sat tuner built in. * Price is subject to change. |
