Great picture, great functions, great price...

Pros: Fantastic HD image, I am still being blown away watching sports and HD Discovery. I was interesting in purchasing a plasma or DLP, but was under a restricted budget, so I purchased this and couldn't be happier. Inputs are good and plentiful, never a probl

Cons: The blacks could be a touch brighter.

Why would you even consider anything else ?!

Pros: take it from me....i'm an HDTV salesperson....i "play" with this stuff all day....for picture clarity in any format/resolution....for the ability to "re-format" picture size (4:3 old standard to 16:9 new standard widescreen....for input connections (compo

Cons: someone who purchases something other than this set

Try It You Will Like It.

Pros: Great picture in all modes. Best picutre you can get viewing non DVD material. This TV is a good value and the sound is about as good as you can get in a TV set. The controls for viewing 4:3 material in the 16:9 screen are the best you can find.

Cons: It is a tube set and they are heavy.

look at the rest, then BUY THE BEST!

Pros: stylish looks and fabulous picture! I've looked at every set out there, a salesman had me hooked on the Sony 34XBR910. But when the TOSHIBA 34HF83 was compared side by side with the Sony, the value of the Toshiba stood out! The Tosiba has a much better

Cons: really none! The remote control took some figuring out, but other than that there is nothing negative with this set!
