Looking for a nice, big, clean picture...at an affordable price. I saw this TV for sale in a Circuit City ad. Only $899. I inspected it. The tv looked OK, not as good as the other models like the DLPs. I was all set to buy it until I came back a day later and on closer inspection, I noticed that the TV was displaying the colors off and creating a ghost image of everything in red, yellow and blue. That looked terrible. I tried fixing the colors on it but to no avail. The sales rep at the store tried selling me the floor model for about $100 less and adding a warranty in; that just really confirmed my belief that this TV has major problems. This TV is big, bulky, presents horrible color and not worth the money. Save your money and go for a DLP TV. Although slightly more expensive, they are worth it!

I purchased this same model TV at another retailer. It worked fine. Then the color started to flicker and also the blue projection element would go in and out.
I called RCA warranty service. After 45 minutes on hold I was able to get a ticket number and contacted a service repairman. The service came and picked up my TV and took it in. They said they couldnt see it. The problem was intermittent at first so I figured it just didnt happen whent hey had it.
I got the TV back and the problem is happening continuously now. The RCA repairman took in my TV. The TV seems to be a lemon as that all the components need to be replaced! I feel like they should just ship me a brand new television instead off replacing all the inner workings of the TV.
We have all RCA products for our Audio Visual equipment, in all rooms. We are very happy with them, however this TV has made us a little wary of them. I still like RCA products but this is rediculous!
I wouldnt normally complain but the RCA tv Dealer informed me that Im not the first one to have one of these big TVs with these problems. Once I get this back and its working Ill be happy, but the headaches of the problem are too much. I believe we will be switching to a different brand in the future.
If you buy it, good luck!
