Toshiba 30HF83 30" TheaterWide HD-Ready TV with PURE Flat Screen
Great Bargain, amazing features
I just bought this TV from amazon for $868 with shipping. It was a wedding present to my self. The shipping took a few days longer than it was supposed to and it was shipped to my fiance's house and signed for by her mother. There was a big gash in the box but it only went into the styrofoam and the TV wasn't damaged (thank god because amazon doesn't take back tv's over 30&quot;). I don't have HD yet but the picture quality on regular cable is amazing. I sat in front of the TV for about four hours playing with all the settings with my fiance just shaking her head. We are getting married in two weeks and she has lots of stuff to do and couldn't understand my fascination with the TV; and I'm supposed to understand why there is a need for some overlay periwinkle table cloth to go over the white table cloth at our reception???<BR>The features are quite remarkable. Some of the key points for me were a DVI connection for future compatability, 720p input (abc only broadcasts their HD this way), POP (You can view something like six channels with one big one and a bunch of smaller windows but only two are live), and the price. I looked at 30&quot; TV's from Sony (way overpriced) and samsung and philips. I think that the Toshiba looks far better than the samsung and philips TV's, it has more connections and the price of the Toshiba was considerably lower. The Box is quite large and it definately takes two people to move around, but it is also less weight than the sony and samsung models of comparable size. Overall, I couldn't be happier and once I get HD and start to rewatch my DVD's my fiance won't be able to drag me away.
