Toshiba 30HF84 30" TheaterWide HD-Ready Flat-Screen TV
Shame on Toshiba: This is 100% junk!  Service is even worse!
Anybody who is still interested in this TV, PLEASE, PLEASE, take a look at Brandon Conover's comment below. Remember: amazon does not take return for TV with a size &#62; 27 inch. If anything is wrong with your TV, your only hope is Toshiba's warranty service or the God.  I purchased the 30HF84 at early Sept. from amazon and I am in my deepest regret right now. My TV's problems are as follows:  1.Serious geometry problem. Just like Brandon Conover's descriptioin, I can hardly find any straight lines on the screen when I use grid test pattern in Avia.   2. The more serious problem is the picture quality of this tube. Excessive grains and out of focus problems when showing the progressive DVDs. Sometimes I can see the shadows to the right of the characters on the screen. I have used Avia to tune the brightness, contrast, sharpness and they helped little. My Xbox and PS2 games all look jaggy and grainy and like craps.  3. Toshiba's service is terrible. Since the first day I received this TV, I called to request a service. Now two weeks passed, I am still waiting and might still need to wait another 1-2 weeks because the service manual is even not available for this TV. Toshiba couldn't care about less about my situation. After multiple calls to them, what they can do for me is to tell me wait patiently. That's what they call customer satisfaction!!!   I learned this lesson hard: Never buy a TV from a place that doesn't allow the return and Never buy a TV blindly just because you think the brank is good. I have made this mistake and Please don't repeat my experience.   If by any situation, after reading both Brandon Conover's and my experience, you still want to purchase this TV. PLEASE, PLEASE, do yourself a favor and buy this TV from a store can accept the return.     Note: The following is the update of my situation.  After 5 weeks waiting and numerous calls to Toshiba and my local service center, finally two technicians come to my home to see the TV. They did nothing to repair the TV and said they need to ask Toshiba first. When they were in my house, they did admit my TV has problems and they cannot fix them. But they changed the story later and told Toshiba there is nothing wrong with my TV and no service will be performed. Today I even spoke to a supervisor in Toshiba customer service but it still didn't work. They said if I need 2nd opinion, I need to pay myself to find other technicans to take care of my TV and my case is gonna be closed. Till now, I haven't been able to speak to the technicals myself to ask why what they told Toshiba is different than what they said in my house. Now I am stuck with this defective TV becuase Toshiba refuses to admit my TV is problematic and refuses to repair it. I feel so frustrated during these contacts with Toshiba and I can't tolerate it any more. Their customer service people seems polite but actually do not care about the customer.   I trusted Toshiba's product and service before and that's why I bought this TV from Amazon.com, an online store that doesn't take the return of large TV even it has quality issue. I am now deeply disappointed at not only the poor quality of my new TV, but also the lack of help from Toshiba and the fact Toshiba is trying to deny the existence of problems on my TV.   This is the worst TV I have ever seen and this is the worst company and customer service I ever dealt with. I also do not understand how a company can be so mean to a customer.   I want to say good luck to all of you who still want to purchase a Toshiba product. I am sure I will never touch any Toshiba product in my life and I will try my best to persuade my friends and relatives not buy their products!
