OK I am going to order my HDTV tommorow so I imagine it will get delivered this weekend. I cannot decide between these two models, I have checked reviews and watched them both at the stores and one has a little nicer picture, and one is bigger. I can't make up my mind. Can some of you TV/HT guys look at the specs and mebbe you have expierience with either brand and help me decide by tonight.

and look up:

Hitachi 51'' Widescreen Ultravision HDTV Monitor
Brand/Model: HIT 51UWX20B

Better picture man. Size is great but the quality of the pic is what really gets it. You wonder why mine was so much $$. It is big and has a better pic.

man that is too KOOL!!! i guess the convergence is automatic on both models, not sure. (either the jvc is or i didn't search long enough.me-hitachi over the jvc. why-- they look better, build , finish, seems like their screens (protective, anti- glare, etc) now by no means am i an XPERT but i am funny about the way i spend my money.(probably as you) don't member which one had more in/ outputs up front or back, a few years ago that wouldn't matter, now it does..
okay so here,i am lucky enough to have a sexy santa claus, that got me a mitsubishi ws-55511 for christmas!!!!!!!! this model has a built in hd - tuner.(i refuse to become a slave to cable companies) yes i know, i'm twisted . anyhow went to best buy and got a terk ant. for local stations and that is good for me..

the deal about convergence is mr. mitsubishi came out and adjusted my set after about a month and it's like a whole new t.v.
he spent about an hour on it all total..
yes, i got big monster power thing-a-ma- gigs, just in case(they have a big WARRANTY, you probably already know).
so, santa claus got my 36" supertube toshiba. great t.v. by the way.
p.b.s. has some of the greatest images bar none. not the greatest shows, but oh- well.
hope this was helpful, if not at least you got to read.......

All these videophiles and I only get two replies :( I'll check in the morning maybe some of you can stop watching porn long enought to help?;)

I'm generally allergic to big RPTVs...

But I'm with Thatch ...go for picture quality over size.

Consider ergonomics too.
Useless to have a great picture if tehs et is a PIA to operate.
