Toshiba 43H71 43 HDTV-Ready Projection TV
Toshiba 43H71 Projection TV
I chose the Toshiba 43H71 projection TV after researching and viewing competing brands at local stores and on the Internet.  The Toshiba offered the best combination of features, picture quality, size, and price.  Although I was apprehensive about having a TV of this size shipped from a distance, it arrived in perfect condition.  The delivery person removed the packing material and placed it in my family room with no problems.<br />The TV has a very sharp picture with almost invisible scan lines.  The picture brightness will decrease somewhat as you increase your viewing angle away from center, but the picture quality does not suffer.  Since I could not locate a TV stand for this unit, I purchased a Sony model for a 43&quot; TV which is a very good fit.  Hitachi also makes stands which should fit as well.  This raises the TV approximately 14 inches, which helps with the viewing angle, as well as storage for a VCR and DVD.<br />Some pixalation was noticed when viewing digital satellite signals and Playstation 2 games.  This may be a function of the larger, higher quality picture making any signal flaws more visible than my old 32&quot; set.  One slight problem has been observed for which I am seeking warranty service.  The set will momentarily turn off and then back on again, with no input from the user.  This only happens less than once per day, and hopefully is not an indication of future problems.<br />Overall, I would highly recommend this TV.  As a first-time projection TV owner, I am very pleased with the picture quality and features of this model.
