I would purchase another tv just like this one. I do not like the newer tvs. I had one before I bought this one from Sears. I called tv's tech to clean out the tv and to make sure it was in good condition before I gave it to my daughter, then I went to Sears to buy the one I have now. At the time I let the sales person talk me into the newer models, took one home and hated it. I don't like the screen on the new tvs, too bright and shiny. I called Sears back and asked about the tv I have now. Actually it had a sold sign on it when I was in the store so I thought I would ask the manager if it was sold. The manager was the one that had put the sold sign on it because he was buying it. I talked him into letting me switch the new tv I had bought for the tv I have now. I have had 2 of this type television and I would prefer to stay with this type, brand, style and not the newer tvs. I have had both tvs for over 10 years each time. The one I gave to my daughter is also good as it was the day I gave it to her. I would not have anything else but if this one does have problems I don't know what I will do. I never write reviews so this is a first for me but I thought I would show my appreciation towards the people that put this tv out. Thank you

I bought this badboy at a garage sale. $20, awesome steal. Just needs a little re-calibrating, but this badboy is awesome!

Strength:

Color, blacks look black, good resoution.

Weakness:

Needs to be re-calibrated often; convergence drifts.

The Hitachi 53uwx10b rptv surpassed my expectations. It is a great rptv but it is fragile. If it is not calibrated just right it can look terrible. I enjoy watching HDTV sports & movies. I'm very pleased but glad I know how to do calibrations on it to keep up the great looking picture.

Strength:

the price, the price, the price! But, is it really worth the price?

Weakness:

Resolution. I expected better.

I bought the Hitachi 53UWX10B because i've been wanting a big screen tv for some time. I especially liked the fact that it is hdtv compatible. However, I thought that the advances in technology would give this digital projection tv an advantage over older analog projection tv's. My mom's 4 year old hitachi projection tv has a better picture. On the 53UWX10B, when I watch a dvd movie, horizontal edges on objects looked blurred and have like a rainbow effect. The eyes of people don't look defined. In general, fine detail on images look blurred. I'm considering taking this 53UWX10B model back to sears because I am not satisfied. It also takes a good 2 seconds to tune in on the next channel, ditto for picture in picture viewing. My 6 year old magnavox tube has much better resolution.

Strength:

ONLY STRENGTH IS THE PEOPLE AT THE STORE REALIZED WHAT A PIECE OF CRAP IT IS AND GAVE ME NO HASSLE RETURNING IT FOR A FULL REFUND, AND IT WAS A CLEARANCE MARKED DOWN FLOOR MODEL!

Weakness:

IT'S CREATION

HITACHI 53UWX10B IS THE BIGGEST PIECE OF CRAP. ONCE I GOT THIS UNIT HOME AND TURNED IT ON, THE BOTTOM THIRD OF THE SCREEN HAD A RAINBOW SUPERIMPOSED. ALSO, ALL THE TEXT FOR THE BOTTOM HALF OF THE SCREEN WAS DOUBLED OVER. I FELT LIKE I WON THE LOTTERY WHEN I WAS ABLE TO RETURN IT FOR A FULL REFUND THE FOLLOWING MONDAY. I JUST PURCHASED THE 42-Inch TheaterWide® HD HDTV-Ready Television 42H82, IT IS 98389348484489448 TIMES BETTER.

Strength:

Nice size, easy to set up. Fair remote. Very good DVD picture with alot of contrast and brightness adjustment.

Weakness:

Has a problem with cable, especially the reds. Need a receiver (surround decoder) to improve movie watching. Screen problems with noticable (fingerprint) type lines. No DVI connection. (may be important in near future).

Read all the reviews I could find, I do have to say that I am Disappointed with this TV. With digital cable this unit seems to have a "decoder" problem--the reds have extended lines going through the subject. (like the chroma bug, only much worse). The techs -- 2 of them tell me this is normal with cable. There is also a (bullseye) screen effect around the middle-sides of the screen. Especially noticable during lighter portions of the program. (By the way-- the Toshiba or Sony do not have this problem). This TV is easy to set up and adjust. The dvds look very good (except for this screen--fresnel effect.) (By the way, had both cable and TV repair techs tell me this is normal with this unit.)TV tech tried to set the manual convergence, ---to no avail. The remote is average, It certainly can not control all the funtions necessary to operate the Denon 3800 or the DVD player. You will still require the original remotes to get into the necessary functions of the other components. The internal features such as changing the scanning from 540i to 1080i during cable viewing have very little to no change effect. ( same with DVD playback.) The different "fill and stretch modes" make everything look abnormal. Hard to watch sports in fill or smooth wide formats. Find myself looking at grey side bars most of the time. I cannot report on cable reception at this time with my unit. It may be better than cable. ( I will be trying this soon). I tried sitting at different positions, I find 12 feet from the screen about the best. (the room is 16' wide by 20' long in a walk out basement)(lots of windows facing south). The color can be set up as you would like--I find the auto settings lacking in purity. The colour is not consistant from station to station. I find myself always adjusting the colour. (the auto functions do not seem to do it right. Too much red or green if you let the auto do it. When everything is just so the TV does look very good, I think the new Sony 51sw500 or the Toshiba look better, more consistant. This 53uwx10b is going back for a reselection. (thanks to the great store I deal with---The Brick Canada.

Strength:

setup picture price

Weakness:

sound (as i said a surround reciever is a must when watching movies)we dont by tv's for thier sound but for thier picture

after doing all the research on this rptv i bit the bullet and bought one to my surprise installation was a breeze when i first turned it on i let the crt's warm up like the the owners manual says to the rest was basic no diffrent from hooking up any other monitor to a home theater when i first played with it i was astounded by the awsome picture even from sat. which everyone told me would look bad as far as the sound goes for normal tv viewing it does a fine job if you want to watch a movi use a surround reciever with dolby digital or dts
