Toshiba 56H80 56-Inch HDTV-Ready Projection TV
Superb DVD viewing POOR Satellite viewing
I've owned the 56H80 for about 6 months.  I am now addicted to wide screen :)<br />Pros: - SUPERB picture with DVD's and HDTV signals, absolutely stunning. - Lack of scan lines is wonderful - Good connection pack on the back - Easy User controls - Good multi control remote (controls DVD, stereo, VCR, DirecTV etc.) - Once adjusted it has excellent color and clarity on DVD or HDTV.<br />Cons: - several times the TV has made a loud POP, the picture disappeared and sound too.  It does come back on immediately but needed to be readjusted again. - DirecTV signal looks HORRIBLE on this TV, you can see crawling around every sharp contrasted edge (even with SVM disconnected).  My understanding after reading many other reviewers is this is common with HDTV's not just Toshiba.  Consistent consensus is this is due to the signal compression from the DTV source or cable company source.  I will, however, be trying Dish Network and different cables soon. - switching Inputs via remote is done by repeatedly pressing the INPUT button till you cycle to the input you want to watch (VCR, DVD, Satellite, etc)- this is minor but annoying, would rather have one touch selection. - TV speakers are terrible for voices. With just the TV speakers I am always straining to hear conversations - highly recommend a center channel speaker at the least.<br />Would I buy this HDTV again?  No..and Yes.  As I watch mostly DVD's and not TV I LOVE the picture and when paired with a good surround Sound system it's movie heaven.  For the price - I don't think you can get a clearer richer picture in this size. HOWEVER..  Though infrequent, the occasional POP and loss of picture is disturbing.  The quality of the DirecTV picture is very bothersome to me but, I am a perfectionist.
