Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
If you've considered purchasing a projection television but were disappointed by the bulky size, depth, and weight, look no further. Zenith's D52WLCD is lightweight, yet it delivers a breathtaking 52-inch diagonal high-definition picture. (An outboard set-top box is required for high-definition broadcast reception.) The set's nine-element lens system offers precision center-to-corner focus and true-to-life images. Typical projection televisions converge (or focus) their picture tubes on a single focus point in the center of the screen. As a consequence, images tend to separate or blur toward the screen edges. Zenith's nine-point digital convergence uses nine focus points, so the view from top to bottom and left to right is just as enjoyable as the view in the center of the screen.

LCD panels are free from two concerns that plague traditional projection sets: phosphor burn-in, which imprints a "ghost" image on your screen after holding a static image too long; and convergence errors (discrepancies in beam alignment), which require a service technician to realign the projection picture tubes. LCD projection televisions don't require alignment, so you don't have to plan for this kind of service. The D52WLCD also offers 3:2 pulldown detection--a handy feature when using DVD players that offer 3:2 pulldown in their progressive-scan video signals. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture on your TV.

The set's built-in stereo speakers are backed by 15 watts each. Input and output jacks include: one RGB (VGA/HD-DBS) 15-pin input, one high-resolution component-video input, one composite-video input (Y, PB, PR), two sets of S-video inputs, and one set of front-panel video jacks (to accommodate a camcorder or gaming consoles).

Product Description:
Introducing the ultimate HDTV monitor, where style and form meet advanced technology. If you ever considered purchasing a projection television but were disappointed due to the bulky size, depth, and weight, look no further. Zenith's D52WLCD weighs only 132 pounds, and is no deeper than most 19" televisions, yet delivers a breathtaking 60 diagonal inch high-definition picture. (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.

1 out of 5 stars WARNING: DO NOT BUY ZENITH !!!.......2007-02-16

Prior to buying the TV we had a 27" CRT TV that lasted 19 years. So we decided to buy a new TV since it was getting old. So in 1/17/2004 we bought a 40" Projection TV (R40W46) with a 2 years extended warranty. The TV has been performing great and we have been very happy with it until just last week when we noticed "blue shadows" all over the screen.
After looking over the manual and adjusting the convergence, no success.

To fix this TV outside of its warranty will cost over $1,000 dollars, and with prices on TV's dropping it makes no sense to send it in for repair. It has basically become a disposable TV. We are very disappointed that our TV has only lasted 3 years. I'm sending it to Goodwill.

I'm very disappointed that Zenith will not stand behind their products. My only mistake was not researching Zenith TVs prior to buying since I had full faith in the brand.

I found other people on the internet with the same exact problem !!

I'm sorry to say this was my last Zenith TV.

1 out of 5 stars Last Zenith Ever.......2007-02-15

Same problem. I have had my Zenith for about 18 months. 2 large yellow spots have appeared and are getting bigger. I contacted Zenith and they are unwilling to do anything about this even though it is an obvious design flaw. The TV is now worthless and I'll be putting it out on the street for the trash collectors to come pick up.
I've had Sony products for years with never a problem. This is my last Zenith or LG product.

1 out of 5 stars Junk-Do NOT Buy.......2007-01-25

These sets look stunning in the store, then you get them home and after 2000 to 3000 hours, or sooner the Blue and Yellow spots appear. No sir, not just a $300.00 bulb, or convergence, THE WHOLE LIGHT ENGINE HAS TO BE REPLACED-- TO THE TUNE OF $1,500 TO $1,800. Did you buy insurance, if so, and you have children, you still will be replacing the Light engine every year-- so after three years, If you bought that much insurance, your on your own. Zenith has been bought by LG, and they don't want to hear about it. BUYER BEWARE!

1 out of 5 stars The blue's.......2006-10-12

This "LCD" is a hunk of junk. Along with everyone else, my screen is also slowly being replaced by a large blue stripe. I will never purchase another Zenith product again, especially considering how much I paid for it. My "3 year" bulb didn't last that long and was expensive to replace. On the other hand, my Sony 57" XBR rear projection is still working perfectly after 8 years and hasn't required any service at all. I'm going with Sony next time.

1 out of 5 stars The Blue blues.......2006-08-07

Fantastic for 3 years, then the blue washed in. Some days are better than others, but it is very frustrating. This is my last Zenith.
