Product Description

From the Manufacturer

With over 2 million pixels of resolution, the RCA P61310 61-inch HDTV projection TV offers the most amazingly lifelike digital picture you've ever seen. In fact, it can give you up to 10 times as many pixels as today's standard TV. Unlike other brands, RCA HDTV comes with the capability of receiving every analog and digital broadcast and DIRECTV satellite signal currently available. (An elliptical dish and programming subscription are required, and sold separately.) And with widescreen format capability and Dolby Digital surround sound, it's like having a free pass to the movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eye candy for your family, October 29, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: RCA P61310 61-Inch 16:9 Projection HDTV TV with DirecTV and HDTV Decoders (Electronics)

This is my first big screen television and I must say that I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I researched several other models including Sony, Toshiba, and Panasonic. In my opinion the RCA possesses the best picture and the lowest price. I found the television on display next to a similar Toshiba HDTV and the RCA's picture seemed noticeably better in my opinion, I even had the salesman surf through some local channels to compare the picture quality of both of these video behemoths.

The picture is clear and crisp as is the audio. The unit has plenty of input connections including composite video and s-video as well as standard RCA type audio outputs. The built-in DirecTV receiver is very nice and certainly necessary as there is no place for an external unit on top of the television. Unfortunately, I cannot record DirecTV programs utilizing my VCR because the built-in DirecTV receiver does not have an output for this purpose. The only other minor concern that I have is that the unit has a lot of depth, about 24.75 inches, something to consider if you have limited floor space. I would highly recommend this television to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best deal Iv'e seen yet, April 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: RCA P61310 61-Inch 16:9 Projection HDTV TV with DirecTV and HDTV Decoders (Electronics)

I purchased this TV after reviewing all the big names, Sony, Hitachi, Pioneer, Toshiba, etc. After careful consideration and hours of sitting in Circuit City and Best Buy, my wife(she's awesome! She wanted this just as bad as I did!) and I narrowed it down to 3 65"Sony, 53"Hitachi and the 61"RCA.What I wanted was basically a great picture. I don't care what audio features they have because I run that through my reciever anyway. Well, We decided on the RCA because we found it to be the best deal. The HD,DirectTV reveiver came with it. It was larger than the Hitachi, The picture was excellent, It was a great deal and we are both very happy parents of "Monster".

This review is from: RCA P61310 61-Inch 16:9 Projection HDTV TV with DirecTV and HDTV Decoders (Electronics)

RCA discontinued parts for this TV. Only had set for 3 years. Part number 248399 (only $100.00) is no longer available. So the set is toast. I can not believe RCA would do this on a high end TV. I will never buy RCA again.
