Toshiba 34HF84 34" TheaterWide HD-Ready Flat-Screen TV
Very Happy
I researched consumer TV's for several months. I waited for the introduction of this product in August '04 and tracked its development at the Toshiba site. I had some specific space requirements. Toshiba puts their speakers at the bottom of the unit, which was advantageous to me.  TV speakers sound fine for general TV viewing, and besides, I use my sound system for DVD's and TV viewing where sound is important to me. But the picture!  WOW!  I'm feeding the TV HD cable, and the 10 or so HD channels I receive just blew me away. Georgeous sharp picture. All component hook up. Other digital cable (not HD) look good too...but HD is terrific.  If you want to get into HD at a reasonble price point and a fabulous picture, you should consider a tube TV.  Plasma and LCD are expensive and have their respective issues.  This is a great transition TV to the future. Cost $1399.  I love it.
