RPTV advice

207.13.192.253

Posted by mchad on December 4, 2001 at 09:21:08

I was about to purchase a Mitsubishi Diamond 55" RPHDTV, when I read a microscopic warning label, which stated "do not exceed 15% total viewing time on 4:3 material, or screen burn in will occure", plus, the two hidious grey bars make watching 4:3 material very annoying (why not black?)

Great. I watch just as much regular tv as DVD material, and no way can I deal with the dwarf-vision mode where 4:3 is stretched out to 16:9. Since I live in a technologically backwards area, where my cable company will support HDTV in about twenty years, and my apartment has no view for a dish, i'm screwed.

So, does anyone know if I can get a HD quality RP set with a 4:3 screen? If so, would it support anamorphic squeeze and progressive input?

Thanks.
