HP LCT 47" TV.......2007-12-22
The system showed up defective and the service follow up was disjointed and inconsistant.
The time and number of calls it took to get the repairman was very excessive and eventually HP had to replace the system.
The replacement process with the HP Customer Care Rep, Andrew, was excellent until it came time to have the old unit picked up and then it became musical phone calls.
So far the new TV is working well and I am happy with the performance.
Feature performance less than optimal.......2007-12-01
I bought the SL4778N for 2 large reasons: VGA connector and the MediaSmart capabilities. However on both fronts I have been very disappointed. I wanted to be able to play slide shows of my digital photographs as we've been traveling a lot recently. The interface for doing this is completely lame. The only options for the slide show is that I play 'all' photos on the server, which is 4+ years of digital photographs... or I play a certain 'folder'. It can not automatically handle nested folders and the images in them. (I have my photos organized by year/month/day/*.jpg. It is possible to play a slideshow of 2007/06/23/*.jpg, however if I want to see all the pictures from 2007/06 and all the days in June, I can't... since it can't handle nested directories, instead I have to manually go to 2007/06/01 and then 2007/06/02... this is not interesting.) The image processing is really slow, with high resolution pictures, around 6 MP, the slide show is so slow that I can't easily jump from image to image. Overall the interface for slide shows is weak.
The other disappointment is the VGA connector. I have not been able to get anything to connect to the MediaSmart VGA connector at a resolution higher than 1360x768. I have a very high end gaming machine which I planned to connect to the MediaSmart, however I was sad to learn that I can not get it to 1920x1080. I even bought a VGA cable for my XBOX 360, however it too confirms that input via the VGA on the MediaSmart is unable to reach 1920x1080.
Ignoring the 2 most important reasons for buying this monitor, the rest of the TV is nice. Quality is good (though not as good as some samsung and sony monitors I saw, but close enough that for my needs I am happy.)
Builtin speakers and connectors, including multiple HDMI plugs is nice. I will eventually buy a new XBOX 360, one with the HDMI connector so I can enjoy the higher resolution, however overall I'm disappointed. Mostly because of the big claims about the value of features which just don't seem to have been designed well.
Great Picture.......2007-10-04
This is a beautiful TV. It was quick and easy to set up and it connected to my network with no problems. Streaming video works wonderfully with wireless 'n' router. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
MediaSmart - A Great Investment.......2007-08-26
First the easy stuff: The LCD TV and associated specs are exactly what you would expect from any of the top 1080P providers. There isn't a significant difference between this display and similar displays from Samsung, Sony, etc. The image quality is tremendous. The available connectivity options are as expected. Great warranty. Great price point. Gloss black frame may be rather unique compared to some other displays.
Now the real differentiator - MediaSmart: HP's MediaSmart solution is incorporated into this fine 1080P HDTV and provides some truly unique value for anyone with a home network. (Wired or wireless, or both). With built-in ethernet (hard wired and 802.11 b/g/n) you can easily make the TV the hub of your entertainment experience. Using just the TV remote you will be able to access all the pictures, music, and videos stored on any PC in the house.
Music - Even using 802.11b, your music will stream flawlessly through the MediaSmart TV. I use 802.11g and can stream music while someone is using the PC that the music is stored on. No interuption for either person. Very cool.
Pictures - After kicking off a favorite music playlist, or creating a new one from the TV, you can then switch over to your pictures and start a slideshow of favorite pictures or a favorite folder. The slideshow will transition between pictures very gracfully as your music plays in the background. I use this during parties for the kids or when adults attend I take 30-40 quick pictures of the couples/group and download them to the shared folder on the PC. In under two minutes you can display brand new pictures in VERY high resolution to your guests. I use a dSLR camera with 10 megapixels and the results are stunning.
Video - Since I do not yet have Blu-ray or HD DVD, I downloaded a few 1080P videos off the internet to really show off the 1080P capabilities of the display. The videos are stored on the local PC and via the TV remote you select the movie of choice and press play. It's that simple! I stream the videos via 802.11g, but if someone is using the PC at the same time you really need 802.11n or a hard wired ethernet connection to get uninterrupted streaming. A simple $125 wireless router upgrade is in in my future.
As a final note, I also have an HP Digital Entertainment Center connected and the display is outstanding as a PC Monitor. The HP DEC connects via one of the three HDMI ports and is very easy to see even from 15 feet away. Using the included wireless keyboard, I can sit on the couch and surf the internet or play games with ease.
I also have a DVR cable box, bose sound system, and Nintendo Wii connected to this TV. Even with all that, I still have an open HDMI port for a soon to be added blu-ray or HD DVD player as well as component video connections if needed for other devices. Throw in a SlingBox and you have a virtually perfect home entertainment system for your family room.
MediaSmart is the real deal. Better then AppleTV and Sony's difficult solution. Highly recommended.
