RCA's 52-inch-diagonal D52W20 widescreen HDTV monitor gives you a smooth, filmlike image when 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 D52W20. 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. 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. Intellifocus auto digital convergence is a menu-accessible feature that automatically optimizes convergence for the sharpest picture possible. The D52W20's 3D Y/C digital frame comb filter further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line). 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.

RCA D52W20 Customer Review(s):
Summary: Don't Buy This TV!
Rating: 1 (out of 5)
Comment: They don't have an option for 0 stars. My D40W20 caught fire after 6 months of use. I could see flames inside the cabinet. Dealer/RCA would not take back. I took the TV to service center after fighting with dealer/RCA for a month. I picked up TV after 2 months at repair shop. Now the remote control receiver will not work.
Save yourself the hassle. Do not buy this TV under any circumstances.

Summary: Stay away from RCA
Rating: 1 (out of 5)
Comment: I bought this TV about a year and a half ago, and although I was initially impressed with the picture quality of the TV, my TV has been in the shop for a total of 3 months as of this writing. The problem I've had with the TV is quite similar to the one which others have described, where the TV randomly blinks off and on until it finally burns and fizzles out.. I have also seen that it is a serious fire hazard because of this same problem, although I was fortunate enough not to have my set catch on fire. I had purchased a 3-year extended warranty from The Brick, but their service center says that they have tried with no avail to obtain the needed parts from Thomson/RCA. I have tried contacting their customer support department, and they have been nothing but rude and unhelpful. I would not recommend this TV or any other RCA product, unless you enjoy headaches.

Comment: This unit has not worked properly since new. Great picture on regular cable, but when hooked up to HD receiver, it shuts itself off. 7 months trying to find someone to repair it, now been in shop over six weeks, with no end in sight. WARRANTY SUCKS.
