Amazon.com Product Description
RCA's 34-inch-diagonal D34W20 widescreen HDTV monitor provides a smooth, filmlike image when it's used with a progressive-scan DVD player (or 480p-output DTV set-top box). This projection set includes the latest connectivity: a DVI input with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), which allows transmission of uncompressed digital video signals from an HDTV set-top box (not included) to the D34W20. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts. Progressive scan up-conversion--for interlaced video sources such as VCRs and non-progressive-scan DVD players--eliminates unsightly scan lines for smoother pictures.

Both of the set's high-definition (1080i/480p) component-video inputs benefit from the Syncroscan system, which automatically performs high-resolution pixel mapping from sources up to SXGA resolution. The resulting screen image has excellent clarity from the highest-resolution sources. A deluxe shielded tuner with 181-channel tuning capability dramatically reduces ghosting caused from off-air pickup when you're watching cable channels, and Dynamic BlackStretch Circuitry enhances picture contrast and detail. High-performance scan velocity modulation improves sharpness and detail, especially in high-contrast areas. The D34W20's 3D Y/C digital frame comb filter further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl.

A dedicated subwoofer output lets you hook up a powered subwoofer (no audio-video receiver required) to beef up the low-end for home-theater thumping. Virtual Dolby simulates surround sound from the set's stereo speakers. This set can be used with Clip'On frames (sold separately), which let you match the color of the set with your furniture or with other components.

I got theis from Dish after a protracted fight to get the RCA 40" RP machine repaired. ( They couldn't fix it after 4 months)
This machine freaks out when I touch it. I cleaned the screen,or have a power failure, the computer flips out. It flips through the menus, automatically reduces the volume to zero, and goes into the setup menu when powered on. This thing is possessed by the Devil!
My second, and last RCA/Thompson product. This is garbage, even if free. Don't even think of buying RCA/Thompson unless you like headaches.

We've been using this TV for the past 6months and love it. I'm a video engineer and have been looking for an HDTV set for the past year but hadnt' seen the right piece of hardware and price.

I like CRT display and this one delivers. It is the best monitor at an outstanding price. RCA is made by Thompson, a very well respected manufacturer of professional video cameras. I trust their engineering and this set delivers!

I have the RCA D34W20 that was sold by Dish network as part of the HDTV in a box package. The only difference is the logo on the front. At first I wasn't sure what to expect but after I set it up I was amazed at the HD picture quality. Out of the box the brightness (Black Level) is way to high. I set mine at about 25-35%. After fine tuning the color and brightness the picture looks phenomenal. I couldn't imagine going back to standard TV. The TV is somewhat of a monster weighing in at 170 pounds so you will need to make sure that whatever you set in on can support the weight.

This TV is the same as the one advertised by Dish Network for 999.00 all inclusive HDTV package. I highly recommend this package if your are interested in true HDTV. I attached a Zenith Silver Sensor antenna to receive Over The Air Network broadcasts and the total package is incredible. Dish made a deal with RCA to manufacture this D34W20 TV and put a Dish Logo on the front instead of an RCA logo

This tv has been a great purchase for me. Got it for $1,000 at Sams Club (floor model) and I have been very happy with it. Tons of options, great picture, tons of inputs. Everything you need in an hdtv. The only problem is the weight, but you probably knew that already. If you don't need a huge screen, then this is a great choice. Picture tubes give the best picture.
