LG RU-60SZ30 60 in. HDTV-Ready TV

Pros: Initially nice picture; lightweight, compact unit; non-reflective screen
Cons: Picture burned in after two years; $500 min to fix

Having purchased the 52" model RU-52SZ30 and being fairly pleased with it, I recommended the 60" LG RU-60SZ30 rear projected LCD HD-ready set to my parents. They have a larger viewing room so I thought the 60" screen would work better for the viewing ...

Pros: Decent picture at first
Cons: Reliability sucks! LG service sucks!

I bought this TV two years ago. Recently, we started seeing blue shading at the bottom of the screen. I called Paradyme, the dealer, and they said it sounded like a bad light engine. Estimated repairs are around $600!!!! Read up on the net... the little brother to this TV has more of the same. This problem is common on these sets and LG refuses to do anything. After doing some research, I found that people who did get the repair done experienced the same problem again only a short time later.They were sold under LG and Zenith brands. That's the last time I buy either one!
