picture, sound, built in DVD

none so far

I purchased this TV in January of 2003 and a bit over a year later we are still as happy with it as the day we bought it!

Very nice bright picture!! Built in player. Looks great in my living room!!!!

No fire wire. Only the much more expensive models with built in decoders have them. Why would you want a built in decoder if Time Warner charges($1.95/month) for the HD Box. The same price as a regular Digital Box. They're working on an HD/DVR box with a DVI output which my TV accepts. Why have a decoder if you get the best they have to offer as soon as they upgrade the technology. Save the money.

I bought the D52W136D which I believe is just about the same as the 135. I looked at all the different brands that the store had and only Hitachi and the Scenium had such great looking bright HD displays in the same price range. I love the built in DVD/CD/R/WR/MP3 player. The black border that gives the floating picture effect is really cool. I had only seen that before with the very expensive Pioneer Elite TV's which are way beyond my range(3 kids and my wife at home). It is a very nice effect. The picture is great after playing with the settings a bit. I like the Cinerama display setting over the 16:9 that the TV has. It seems to be a little clearer and still fills the sceen nicely. The 4:3 pull down is very good with minimal distortion to the scene. The picture from DVD's is awesome, I mean awesome. The picture settings are adjustable individually to each different input and that really helps. The sound is really good, the best I've heard for a TV, and has nice equalizer adjustments. The menu is easy and the remote is OK. I can't believe after wanting HD for SOOO long I was finally able to get into it for less than 2K!!
