Zenith D60WLCD 60'' LCD Projection HDTV-Ready TV

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
If you're after a big, bright, rear-projection LCD HDTV monitor, Zenith's 60-inch D60WLCD is optimized for widescreen (16:9 aspect-ratio) high-definition images. Being no deeper than most 19-inch CRT sets, the D60WLCD is ideal for home theaters and anywhere where space is a concern. The set features integrated dual NTSC tuners and extensive connection panels and accepts HDTV, SD, and NTSC video sources from external devices.

Three internal LCD panels, augmented by a nine-element lens system, delivers superb 1280 x 720p resolution, enhanced by aspect-ratio correction, an advanced 3D Y/C comb filter that digitally controls and separates color (chroma) and picture (luminance) information, a peak brightness of 680 candles/square meter, a contrast ratio of 200:1, generous 100 x 30-degree viewing angles, and the convenience of picture-in-picture, picture-outside-picture, and split-screen capabilities. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; the D60WLCD's 3:2 pulldown detection digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Audio features include Zenith's EZ Sound dynamic bass and two built-in 15-watt speakers, while its connection panel accommodates all popular video formats. Front-panel video input jacks let you hook up a camcorder or gaming console, while a 15-pin RGB input handles a digital set-top box. Projection LCD sets are free from two concerns that plague traditional projection sets: phosphor burn-in, which can imprint "ghost" images on the screen when it holds a static image too long, and convergence errors (discrepancies in beam alignment), which require a service technician to come to your home and realign the projection picture tubes. LCD projection televisions don't require alignment, so you don't have to plan for this kind of service.

Product Description:

(Set-top box required for high-definition reception). New 3:2 pulldown detects and syncs film to video for smooth theater-like pictures at home.

T.V is currently in the shop and LG is covering the cost.......2007-06-29

6 months ago my T.V. started to show the blue haze. At first, I thought it was the satelite signal. How does a $3000 t.v that is 2 years old have problems so quickly. My family grew up on Zeniths; 2 Zenith's in a 25 year span. So I started to do some research on the Internet and learned about the famous LG/Zenith blue haze. I knew the one year warranty had expired, but I thought I would call LG to get their opinion. As soon as I told the customer service rep the model of my T.V., I heard this pause (as she was expecting me to complain about the Blue Haze) which I did. Immediately she told me that I had to speak with someone else in another department. It seem like they established a new unit just for these type of phone calls. To my surprise, the rep told me that they would cover all parts and labor. A week later, I received a letter from LG explaining that they want to cover all expenses to repair my T.V. and there was language in the letter that stated a disclaimer that LG electronic is not at fault for the the problems that have occured. I signed the letter, sented it back to them and they had a video service in my area come pick up the t.v for repair. I should have the set back by next week.

I was ripped off too........2007-06-14

I purchased the 44" version of this TV back in June 04. Within 6 months the dreaded blue line appeared at the bottom. An LG rep on another forum confirmed that excessive heat causes the plastic lens mounts to warp after awhile.(He has since deleted all his posts) I can't post a URL but do a search on E44W46LCD + TriodeGuy and you will find my posts on the other forum. There is a fix for the blue line problem that doesn't require light engine replacement. Please see my posts for details. There is also mention from another poster of a class action lawsuit in Jersey.

Class Action Suit?.......2007-04-10

My boyfriend bought this TV the first year it came out--he paid almost $6,000 for it!!! It's now almost four years old. We've have the same green/yellow tinge with loads of blue throughout. Quoted over $1,000 for the repair. The local repair people didn't even have to come look at it to know what the diagnosis was. This product is a lemon and the manufacturer keeps rolling out the product year after year. The manufacturers are criminals. If I had the money and time, I'd sue them.

Class Action Lawsuit Overdue.......2007-02-17

I have the 42" version of this set. Light engine replaced three months after purchase....now, 24 months later, blue haze slowly taking over the set. I also contacted LG customer service, and got a response from.......Neil......Neil must have a great job. Wait for complaints to come in and then hit 'send' on the scripted response that offers no help whatsoever. My email was EXACTLY the same as the response Freddie got. This is criminal!!!!

Very Disappointed.......2007-01-31

After doing much research, I bought this TV in October 2004, based on positive reviews on amazon and the price I was able to get it at. Paid $2700 total by going through a distributor, friend of a friend type thing. I thought this was a steal. I was very happy for the first year, but then the bulb went out after 15 months. And we're not talking about 24/7 TV here, maybe a few hours a day at most. That cost me $250. Then at just under the 2 year mark, I start noticing this blue dis-colorization taking up the entire right side of my screen, and a little on bottom. I finally got around to getting a tech to the house to take a look. I was hoping it was something simple, but like other reviewers got the bad news that I needed a new light engine. I was quoted $1180, less than other reviewers, but still too much in my opinion to sink into this TV. Needless to say I am extremely disappointed in this TV, less than 2 years and it turns out to be a lemon!! I've learned 2 painful lessons: never buy through a distributor, because I didn't have the opportunity to purchase an extended warranty, and never buy a Zenith product again.
