Toshiba 30HF84 30" TheaterWide HD-Ready Flat-Screen TV
Avoid this television at all costs!!!
I initially purchased this hdtv on the first of september, simply due to the fact it was an outstanding deal and I was happy with previous toshiba products.  When the tv arrived two weeks later, however, I was deeply dismayed.  Picture quality is terrible.  Sources fed through the colorstream component inputs are full of grain and poor coloration.  The geometry of the set is so bad that any vertical lines in the middle of the screen bend around.  Anytime a window, building, or doorframe appears in a DVD, it curves at the center of the screen.  I have calibrated the set with DVE to no avail.  Even the service menu does not seem to contain a way to fix the poor geometry.   <br /> <br />Whatever you do, do not purchase this set from amazon.com.  They will not accept returns on tv's larger than 27\\".  Speaking to other members at the AVS forum, many other people have 30hf84's with the exact same problems I do.  Adding to this is the fact Toshiba completely denies any problems with this set and shows no level of caring or support for the consumer.   <br /> <br />Buy this set at your own risk only from a store with a good return policy.  Don't be fooled by the cheap price on amazon which is obviously too good to be true. I hope not everyone has the same negative experiences with this set that I have. <br /> <br />I also hope someone from Toshiba reads this review because they do not seem to want to reply to my emails.   Thanks Toshiba.
