Toshiba 30HF83 30" TheaterWide HD-Ready TV with PURE Flat Screen
Good TV, good price, no reservations
I bought this TV even after looking at the negative reviews and I'm glad I did!  Good picture quality and features and the sound with the subwoofer is better than any other TV built in system I've heard, although it can't compare to a good surround system.<BR>When I took delivery, I unpacked the TV and tested it before signing the acceptance form - not a big deal.  The delivery guy was quite nice and even helped me put the TV in my entertainment center.  This 30&quot; widescreen fits where a standard 27&quot; Sony used to, as the Toshiba speakers are wisely mounted beneath the screen.<BR>Set up is easy, the instructions clear.  Don't worry about burn out on the sides - the available options to set up the screen result in a good picture and the horizontal streching on the sides for &quot;theater 1&quot; (which is what I use for standard format TV) is almost unnoticeable.  Great picture from digital wide screen sources!!!<BR>The other TV I was looking at was a Gateway 30&quot; LCD.  Without the optional side speakers, it would have fit my entertainment center as well.  It's lighter than the Toshiba, but I don't think it's worth spending $1500 more than the Toshiba.  Plus, if I'm lazy and don't use my surround system, I can just turn on the TV and listen to a reasonably good sound and look at a great picture.  The Gateway without the side speakers would have forced me to use my sound system every time I turned the TV on.
