Toshiba 46H84 46-Inch Projection HD-Ready TV
what more do you need?
If you are looking at this unit, you are probably like me. A first time, budget-minded HDTV buyer.  I researched many units, and decided to go with this one because it was on sale for $999. <br /> <br />Picture with HD: With HD (through Comcast) it is awesome. My friend has a TV that he spent $4000 on, and he says that he can't notice a difference in picture crispness. <br /> <br />Picture without HD: It is at least as good as what I had on my 27\\" TV prior to this.  It ain't crisp, but it is very acceptable for a TV this large. <br /> <br />I do notice some \\"artifacts\\" on this TV. If you are looking at this level of unit to buy, you probably don't even know what that means.  I didn't!  It means that you see some \\"streaking\\" of white on fast moving images.  It happens so rarely, though, that you won't notice much. <br /> <br />The TV has some great stretch settings, too.  I was worried that any signal coming in at 4:3 would look distroted when I stretch it to 16:9, but this unit has a setting that only stretches the top and bottom, removing letterboxes but not distorting the main pic.  It also has one that stretches left and right, making 4:3 fill the screen without distrotion. <br /> <br />The sound is better than the sound from my 27\\" unit.  It is all I need for my small room, until I get a surround system. <br /> <br />Inputs:  It does have an HDMI input. I'm told that is the top of the line input. I run my cable and DVD via the component inputs for ultra clear pic. <br /> <br />In short, get this TV. For the price, I have absolutely no regrets! <br /> <br />
