Toshiba 27AF42 27" Pure Flat Screen TV
Great TV, a couple of very minor gripes
Outstanding picture.  This TV will really show differences in the quality of your source.  Blacks are VERY black.  Some night scenes and dark shadow areas look almost spooky.  Bringing up the brightness/contrast shows there isn't anything there but the effect is unsettling compared to a &quot;regular&quot; picture tube.  Excellent comb filtering, and a very good job of eliminating edge and corner distortion found in less capable sets.<br />Gripes: 1) the little plastic front access door broke off while moving the TV, and the showfloor demo also had the door missing.  2) the remote is OK.  I like being able to choose input sources here rather than using my receiver as a switch (two analog or s-video, one coax, one composite RGB) from the remote, but the thumb switch on the left side for TV/cable/VCR has a very short &quot;throw&quot; and gets moved inadvertantly.<br />Sound is better than average, but I use a home theater receiver so the built in speakers are not an issue.  Picture quality from the composite RGB input from my DVD player is amazing.<br />This replaced an older Toshiba 27&quot; TV which has a very fine picture but some service history problems.  Toshiba gets one more chance here.  The picture quality is limited only by your source.  Highly recommended.
