Proton NT-2760 TV


I'm very close to buying a 27" Proton, the picture is excellent. My question is, Any Proton owners out there. Any pros & cons on Protons. It's $860 bucks, which is kind of high for a 27" television.



Thanks

I'm not a Proton owner, but I've seen this TV in operation at a local shop. The picture was very good; better on standard NTSC material than my $3700 30" 16:9 Loewe. DVD is better on the Loewe, which displays 520p via a very good quality internal line doubler, but for watching cable or OTA, I preferred the picture on the Proton. The've been around for quite a while and their TVs have always been very good.
I owned a Proton TV for 8 years. It is very reliable machine and very good picture quality.
I've had a 32" proton for 15 years. It's the best tube I've ever seen. (I still see no great atvantage to HDTV over the Proton) There are only a few tube manufacturers (I heard three) in the world who supply all the TV tubes. The Proton is made by Hatatchi (sp?) and is the only TV using this super expensive tube. I had to have all my solder joints re-soldered this past year due to extensive use, that's the only problem I've had. It's a great picture, and the price you quote is very fair.
