The Bottom Line:
If your budget is $2,500 or below go with this and buy the cables and other stuff needed for the rest of the money.
This is a great TV for the Money. I ended up spending about $1,800 on the TV, but probably another $200 on cables etc. The TV has a pretty good picture out of the box, but some tweaking on your own will definitely improve the Picture Quality (PQ). There are several online forums to tell you how to converge the picture properly in the service mode. Only flaw here is that the Toshiba has a memory problem on the Touch Focus so it will not fully remember your new settings. Do NOT converge the TV before you have about 100 hours of burn-in time on it and never before 30 minutes of continuous use. Also if you do the service menu convergence don't ever go back and do the 9-pt convergence. For you who don't know the convergence is pretty much lining up the three colors blue, red and green. 9-pt is good enough for most people I just wanted more out of it. That is the benefit with an RPTV - it is like PC vs. Macintosh, they both work, but a PC allows you do do more personal preference things.
This TV will however remember your settings for each input. This means that you don't have to change any picture settings, screen size etc when you change between DVD, HD and analog TV. It only has two components outputs, but that is standard (actually very few with more). If you want to run your DVD, HD and game machine through component then run one of them through your receiver. There are however three s-video ins and two for coax and one future for DVI so should be plenty of input opportunities no matter what your setup is.
The analog picture is decent, the Digital is Great and the High-Definition is just better than I thought was possible. This is a great TV for the money and I don't regret buying it.
There is a sound problem at lower levels, but Toshiba is aware and just call them and they will come and fix it - this is if you even notice. I put the sound on the TV low and the sound on the Cable box high and that gives me the best sound quality (receiver and speakers are coming next week for my surround sound system).
The TV doesn't have DVI, but Toshiba has made it DVI compatible so they will solve this when needed.
