Amazon.com Product Description
The 65-inch widescreen 65SWX20B projection television puts an enormous, theater-like screen right in your living room. Hitachi coordinated the design of all of the set's key components, from source to screen, fashioning an ultra-bright TV that delivers razor-sharp images from both high-definition and conventional content.
The set's AV NET interface simplifies both onscreen control and operation of other system components such as DVD players, VCRs, and audio/video receivers. A step-by-step onscreen wizard guides you through system setup, prompting as to device type, manufacturer, and input. A small IR transmitter positioned in front of each component--regardless of brand--provides comprehensive control of an entire home theater. The 65SWX20B comes with an additional, simplified remote that reduces the number of buttons to just 12 of the most necessary.
Inside, the set's wide-neck CRT accommodates a significantly larger electron gun, which enables much larger aperture dimensions for better control over the shape, size, and focus of the electron beam that generates the images you watch. And Hitachi--rather than letting all its advanced engineering sit idly by when you're watching conventional, low-resolution sources--created VirtualHD. Its unique circuitry upconverts analog signals to a common higher-definition standard that's a perfect match to the set's high-performance CRT, lens, and screen systems.
Unlike a conventional TV with a single cathode-ray picture tube (CRT), a projection set has three CRTs and an optical system to direct the image to the screen. The process of aligning and focusing the red, green, and blue images at the screen, known as convergence, can be affected by magnetic influences. Even the direction your TV is facing can affect convergence. This projection TV comes with unique, factory-adjusted convergence parameters that serve as a custom reference standard.
The field/frame structure of video makes it difficult to properly display rapid motion. To ensure smooth playback, additional picture information must be created in every frame. Hitachi's motion-adaptive algorithm works with just about any video or audio configuration--including wideband component, composite- and S-video connections. A DVI digital input (and IEEE 1394 with 5C copy protection) accommodates newer-generation digital set-top boxes.
The set delivers 20 watts per channel through a pair of two-way speakers with bass-reflex cabinets. BBE Mach3 bass enhancement reinforces the powerful low frequencies, SRS TruSurround simulates surround sound from any two speakers, and BBE High-Definition Sound improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages.
An anti-reflective screen shield ensures smooth, even light distribution, and wide viewing angles, while Magic Focus Convergence automatically aligns the picture for optimum performance at the touch of a button.

Excellant buy
We bought ours 5 years ago. If you are into sports and nature TV you can't beat this. You are right on the field or rink with the players or the wildlife. The one thing I would caution about is that your TV viewing will increase. High Definition makes everything you watch an experience and the size definitely only enhances it. You do need to have 12 to 15 feet minimum of room between your seating and the set to really enjoy this. A room 18 to 20 feet in depth is ideal. A good surround system also makes a world of difference as most high def is also broadcast in 5.1 surround. You can pack a lot of people around this TV and with the Olympics coming up we expect to be sharing our house a lot. In 5 years we have not ever thought of replacing this set as the quality has not diminished.
Great picture......Great Sound.......HUGE!!!!!!!!!!
We bought this model in 2003. It performs today just as it did the day it was delivered to our home.
This television (both size and viewing screen) is huge! We went from a 32" tv to this giant. Images are life-size. You definitely need to have space between your sofa and the screen.
Watching sports games and movies are like you're in the stadium or the theater, so get your hot dogs, nachos and popcorn.
I would definitely recommend this model. We live in a smaller place now, so we're trying to sell our set. But if you have the space, its a guaranteed winner.
