Toshiba 30HF83 30" TheaterWide HD-Ready TV with PURE Flat Screen
BUY THIS TV
Like a lot of people who bought this TV I had a small space to work with. I went so far as to buy a Philips 27&quot; HDTV that fit the space I had and ended up taking it back when I saw that this baby had the speakers on the bottom and the width was all screen. The sale price from Amazon sealed the deal.<br />On to the TV. It's amazing. When you first power up, the factory settings are a little off-putting (too bright, weird color, and a little rough), but after doing some rsch. on home theater sites, I came up with some settings I'm happy with. And, if you can believe it, the sound is better than the picture. My dog started to bark at the TV because the bass was so rich.<br />Based on my research, here's what the experts suggest for picture settings on this model:<br />Flesh Tone: Turn this off, Color Temp: Set to Warm, DNR (Digital Noise Reduction): Turn this Off, Mode: Set to &quot;Movie&quot; which kills SVM (Scan Velocity Modulation) a feature which gives the picture a rough quality. Finally, set contrast, color and sharpness between 55-65 according to taste, tint at +5 or so, and brightness to the high 40's (for black blacks).  Hope this helps
