Toshiba 30HF83 30" TheaterWide HD-Ready TV with PURE Flat Screen
Now if everybody would broadcast in HD...
Incredible picture. The cable guy who installed our new HD box commented that it was the best picture he'd seen, and all he DOES is install High Definition boxes for our cable company! <br /> <br />Regular TV is much worse than a decent analog TV, though. Not a problem, as all the affiliates around here broadcast in Hi-Def as well as standard. Separate channels on the cable box for the Hi-Def signal. Unfortunately, you can only get about 10 HD channels currently. I have noticed that the channels below #100 on our cable look worse than they did with the old set. All the channels above 100 look much better than on the old set. All the HD channels look incredible! <br /> <br />Speaker system is outstanding for a TV. The sub-woofer really kicks out the bass! <br /> <br />I've had no problems with jitter or anything like that.  <br /> <br />DVD movies look best with progressive scan OFF. Explained to me by a guy who owns a specialty auio/video store, this is because the chipset in the TV itself is much higher end than most progressive-scan DVD players, therefore producing a better picture without the progressive scan on than with it on. <br /> <br />Instead of Picture In Picture, this has Picture Out Picture (at least, I think that's what POP stands for), which is two pictures side by side. Highlight the one you want to hear. You can also program \\"favorites\\", and this will get you a bunch of different pictures surrounding the main one, if you choose, with each smaller picture a still shot. Pretty neat. From what I understand, these features don't work with a DVI input. Why, I don't know. They may also not work with some cable boxes and satellite boxes, but they work with just the regular cable into the back of the set. <br /> <br />I haven't used the DVI input, but the composite cable picture is incredible.
