I bought a 57 inch Hitachi Ultravision projection tv that's HD ready model # 57UWX20B a couple years ago - I think it was about $2,500 or something - the picture is fantastic! Especially in High Definition!

Anyways, The kids are pushing buttons on all of my components because I don't have a built in entertainment ctr with doors, so I need to eventually get that, but the problem is the area that the TV is in won't allow for the TV to be centered AND the components on one side. To make a long story short, I need about a 50 inch TV so I can get the built in ent. ctr. So I'm thinking about selling the big screen and getting a smaller one.

Anyone know anything about big screens? What's it worth? What's a fair market price?

Thanks!

Greg

It may not work for me...depends on the dimensions of it. Especially, the depth. I only have 24". http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif Your next in line. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumb.gif Although, if he does the old "first one with cash takes it", then it could easily be yours as I live a ways away. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Yes he did. But it is always fun to get stuff for cheap old lumber.

I'll pass on the cheap old lumber - but thanks for the offer anyways http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

Dimensions The dimensions are 53.5 width, 53.25 tall, and the depth is 25 inches.

I'll look up a picture of it and post it.

Here it is Hitachi TV (http://www.audioreview.com/pscTelevisions/HDTV-Digital,TVs/Hitachi/PRD_135738_2727crx.aspx)

Another Link to it Link (http://shopping.yahoo.com/p:Hitachi%2057UWX20B%20Television:1990955782:page= details;_ylt=ArDPaIG3Mdz_35EnqSYovYAzjnUC;_ylu=X3o DMTBiZHRvbTI1BF9zAzAEc2VjA3Ny)

And here are the official dimensions from the specs on this site 54 in x 54.2 in x 25.5 in (HxWxD)

The lowest retail price I've seen (and this doesn't include shipping or sales tax) is $2,275

So what's it worth?

Steve C - It's all yours. It won't work for me if the base won't seperate from the rest. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

Greg - I would think you should be able to get about 1/2 of retail for it. http://www.lasvegashotboats.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif

that's about what I was thinking - maybe $1,300 to $1,400 or in that range.

maybe I'll drop it in the paper.

Thanks!

Was at Costco, they had 65" HD's for $1399 and 56" for $999... Different brands, not yours.

That's pretty good! I know there's a lot of big differences in the lamps and stuff between models - but who knows if I could ever tell the difference. That's good info though, means I have to go a bit lower maybe to sell it.

Thanks Velocity!
