lost in Toshibas, SO many to choose from!

hi all....

well here I sit, now, pondering my "too too many choices" of Toshiba HDTV
tube tvs 34" and under, there seems to be about 6 to 8 models in these
sizes alone!

[I wanted to first check out the lcds, mostly the Samsungs, wonderful ratings but for my ps2/xbox, i read that crts will still have the game display well, whereas
for the hdtv lcds, "they" warn me that the game might not look as good, as I use my tv mostly for gaming.]

So I might after all find that no store sells these Toshibas anymore, the crt tube is nearly extinct.

the Toshiba
--30hf85 30 inch
--30hf84 geometry issues, i read, with early models.
--32hf73
--34hf85 but made now by Orion
--34hf84

there are probably yet more!

all are hdtv and progressive scan. Problem is...that I have games, like for the ps2, that are not progressive scan made, thus they have to also look good
on the component, but standard, tv.

I have a toshiba 27" now, a standard tv, but the component cables make for a fairly good image.

So what experiences has anyone here had with these models?
Are they good for games?

my heart is set for the samsung 32" lcd, but at $1300, too too expensive and then waht about the games that are non-progressive.

well, Over the days, I Have Seen the Sony Light! I have even read that the 955 is even better than the 970, but cannot be found anymore!

There is a kdxbr970 at my local best buy for about $980, more or less, I this set was sort of "hidden" and sitting on the floor, obscurely not noticed in my previous
looks!
what I am afraid of, with the lcds, especially that nice Samsung series, is that
my game will look bad on the lcd, as most ALL of my tv-use is for gaming and a lot of the games are ps2 non-progressive rpgs, sometimes even a ps1 game.
my 27' Toshiba is adaquate, but it is not a HDTV.

One of the Reasons why I first shied away from a crt set, is that some of the crts, give to me a severe eyestrain! Even within a same-model-series, on model number will be OK, but the next model number set, in the row, will not be.
I had to go through several sets, at best buy, to find a good eye-set!

I will have to "sit" right down on the floor, with that sony, for 20 minutes, to make sure. Does not help, either, for my comparisons, that these floor model
tvs are all pumped up to "contrast..bright...sharpness" MAX!
