Hate them!And their Makers TOO! had 3 die !!!!by airwren - January 26, 2006
Pros: Um if it doesnt die then thats a plus if you can get past the rainbow down the side of the screen!
Cons: Rainbows down the side of the screen, high pitched whine,and dealing w/ customer service.
Review: Brought the 1st home it was D.O.A. out of the box. Took it back got 2nd. Okay we had progress with this one.. it turned on. It had a high pitched whine when on, the screen was green no matter what and had a lovely rainbow down the side. 3rd one worked thank the lord.... for 6 months...then it died the horrible death of rainbows and banshee cries. And RCA's customer service is a bit saucy and gives you the run around. But if you hate yourself and this is what you want then this is the tv for you. Hope this helps.

Good Value, A Litte Noisy.by Teleios - January 2, 2006
Pros: Good Picture; HTDV Built-In Tuner is Nice and looks great. Light, too.
Cons: Noisy when warming up. Controller sucks bad.
Review: I use the TV speaker for the center channel to save space. Built in browser and HDTV tuner is great. Controller doesn't work well no matter if you have fresh batteries or not.
