Zenith R40W46 40 in. HDTV-Ready CRT TV

Pros: Consumer Minded Set with Some Added Extras
Cons: Picture and Sound Quality Leaves Many Wanting More

Zenith has been around for quite some time. I have people telling me about their sets that are over 30+ years old, and how they are still going. I do not disagree with others when I can say that Zenith televisions of old are known for lasting, but ...

Pros: Super easy set-up. ALL remote keys light-up.
Cons: No 720P. Occasional ghosting when watching hockey or basketball.

Pros: Great price, tons of inputs to play with, movable case with built in casters, lightweight.
Cons: No 720p, and no fiber optic sound input.

I purchased the set about a week ago. My past sets have never been HDTV nor have they ever been this large. For 1000 dollars this is the best deal I could find on the internet. This television set produces such high quality picture clarity and good quality sound that it would be worth paying and extra 500 dollars. However, i wasnt impressed with the absence of the 720p resolution, however the 480i, 480p, and 1080i is still extremely impressive. I have the television in a small room and sit about four and a half feet from it, even at this close range, the t.v. is perfectly clear. Many people bad mouth this product and say its not worth the money, but it is truly worth the asking price. This is a HDTV set you dont want to pass up. You may fund other sets to be more appealing, but they don't cost under 1500 dollars!
