I currently live in Germany and move a lot to different parts of the world. I had a 34" Trinitron 1080i TV which was very nice for the 4 years I had it but I felt the need to upgrade. I did a lot of research looking into TV's as I had to be sure this would do everything that new HDTV's did but could also support PAL signals and dual voltage areas as I was not guaranteed to be in the States anytime soon. This beautiful televison did the trick for me.

I currently am running a PS3 for my Blu-ray Player (I will upgrade this early this coming year as I want to bitstream my audio) a Sony STRDG-820 7.1 Receiver (with all speakers) and this TV. I love it as I get a great picture and very good sound. Personally bitstream audio is the way to go as I am a huge fan of DTS. I recommend this TV to anyone in my situation but it also fits the bill if you live in a little town in Montana with no intention of going anywhere.

I am seriously interested in this TV but was truly disappointed that VCT did not respond to my question regarding "what's in the box?" No response is worse than a bad one. I'll find another seller with better customer service.

While it is a great tv, both performance wise and ascetically, it promises what it cannot deliver.


I have tried to get a 1080 Resolution out of a brand new iMac, a new Mac Mini, and a high end Gateway PC. All defaulted to 1360 x 768 resolution and refused to go higher.


How can you promise full HD but not allow the resolution?

I am wholeheartedly confused.
