Toshiba 26HF85 26" Widescreen HD-Ready Flat Screen TV
Transition HDTV
An excellent starter HDTV.  It is not what one would describe as a \\"big screen TV\\" but for those of us who don't want a giant appliance in their living room, this Toshiba takes up very little space and delivers a great picture.  Just know that if you don't have HD cable or satellite, it isn't going to look much different from your old set (aside from the aspect ratio).  Still, we all know that soon all TV will be in high definition, and regular non-HD TVs will be irrelevent.  This is a good transition TV because it will keep up with technology, and it won't cost that much more than a regular TV (at least on amazon.com).  I give it 5 stars not because it is the best HDTV, but because for what it is, a low-priced transition TV, it is excellent.
