I've been thinking about getting a tube based set for the extra bedroom for

PS2 and a future X-box system. I see Best Buy has the Toshiba 42H83 which after discounts would be about $1090.00. Would this be a better choice over a 32" to 36" tube set which would run about 1500 to 1800 bucks or more? We may watch some DVD's on it at some point but it would used for gaming more than anything else. Any thoughts????

Thanks

Jim -


I have the Toshiba 57H81 (57", 2 models prior, but still comparable). I use it for everyday TV watching, HDTV, DVD, and PS2/Gamecube gaming. I am very happy with the set, particularly with gaming. 16x9 enabled games especially look wonderful utilizing the component inputs. I would recommend this set over the more expensive, and smaller, tube sets available.

Matt,

Thanks for the info. I still don't know if I will go for one or not. I'll probably so over Sat. and take a look. Was hoping for a few more responses here.

Thanks again.

Yes, it is almost as good as a Hitachi, especially for that price.
