Toshiba TW40X81 40 Theater Wide HDTV-Ready Projection TV
great tv, but remove the reflective screen
i've had this tv for almost 5 months, and i love it.  for those of you trying to decide between widescreen (16x9) and normal (4x3) tv's, do yourself a favor--get the widescreen, you won't regret it.  the tv gives you different viewing modes for 4x3 material--letterbox, stretch (uniformly or nonuniformly), or crop.  i usually stretch the 4x3 material--for the first day the images look wide, but you stop noticing after that.<br />i love the component inputs, and that the tv will accept progressive scan materal.  i haven't done any hdtv viewing, but 480i, 480p, and 540p material looks great!  you'll definitely want to pair this tv with a progressive scan dvd player like the toshiba 5109 or 6200.<br />it's definitely worth getting the set calibrated by an ISF professional--they can adjust overscan, focus, colors, etc.  if you're daring, you can look online for sites that will tell you how to do this stuff yourself.<br />the only two shortcomings that i have with this tv are: that it doesn't accept native 720p input and that the reflective screen makes it hard to watch tv in a bright room--sometimes it's like  looking into a mirror.  you'll need to get yourself some drapes or you can remove the reflective layer yourself (not for the faint of heart).<br />beware, though, there is a new toshiba model that replaces the TW40X81--the new model is the 40H80.  i think for most people the differences are not significant.
