Toshiba 34HD82 34" Pure Flat Screen HDTV-Ready TV
Great Picture - Still
I have the newer 34HDX82, but they are nearly identical except for a few minor tweaks.  The picture is awesome.  I looked at the Sony and Toshiba side by side, and the clarity of the Toshiba made the choice a no-brainer.  I can't speak for the sound (who buys a TV for its sound?) because I've got everything routed through a Yamaha RX-V3200.  I'm waiting in the AVIA disc to calibrate the tube, but I'm really happy with the picture right out of the box.  Now I just have to settle on which HD box to buy.<br />A year later, and an upgrade to an HD DTV box,and life is still good.  The picture still kicks the crap out of all but the $10,000+ plasma screens on the market.
