      Bing,,Do you notice a white bar down the center of the screen.
      I can only see it during Hockey.
      Figured it might be exclusive to TSN,,However I
      noticed it as well on CBC the other day..

        Yes, I'm starting to see it, :cry: however I really have to look for it, otherwise it's pretty invisible to me.

        It is during Hockey, however I think it's one of those things that a person has to live with as other Monitors will have it's own sets of issues. Nothing is ever perfect, and it boild down to what you can live with I suppose.

        What bothers me more is this scaling lag :evil:

          So True!!
          BTW,,Don't forget to invest in some
          RPTV screen cleaner.
          I just picked up the Monster RPTV kit
          which includes a spray bottle of cleaner
          and cloth.

            Yes, thanks for reminding me Trev :T

            You know either I'm getting use to the picture of the Tosh, or it's breaking in. I swear the picture is looking better than when I first got it...

            Hockey has been looking good, and if you can believe it, I watched Friends the last episode on a VHS tape that I recorded on a tape that has been recorded over a Million times, and I actually said, "Hey this VHS doesn't look bad..."

              Bing..... bought my new 57hx93 today....

              :T Bing.... Newbie here... Been lurking for a while Just bought my first RPTV. 57hx93. Hope I have as much luck with mine as you have. I too am a Sony guy. My 32" xbr just hit the wall after 10 years of loyal service. To this day, I have not seen a regular set match the picture quality. I am looking for a good roof top antenna to get OTA HDTV. Any recommendations ? It's tough to get good reception in this neck of the woods since 9/11. I am hooking it up to a Maranta sr7400 and 6.1 Def Tech speakers. I expect to be in Video heaven in a week.

              I will report when it arrives.

                  I also purchased a tosh 51hx93!

                  Hey folks, I just purchased a tosh 51hx93 today along with a Denon DVD player, the 2200 model.

                  I'll report in about a week after I receive it

                  Cheers,
                  Al

                    Lantern, congrats on the Tosh, let us know how it works out for you! Sony makes the best direct view CRT's in my opinion, thats what makes them so hard to move away from.

                    Alibaba, congrats as well. You should like how that 2200 looks with the Tosh. Although the 2200 is pickier in DVD+/- R media, once I seen how good the image and sound was of this unit, I could not go back to anything else I have tried. Now I just use my Xbox to play Backed-up DVD's the 2200 maynot like.

                      Hey Bing, glad that u like the Toshiba. Got one question for u tho, since i'm considering getting it myself. How's your experience with the split cabinet design? Did it come in 2 pieces or 1? The reason i like this feature alot is that, when I move it'll be so much easier to move it in 2 piece than 1. Is it easy to put it together or not? Anyone here that has personal experience with the Hitachi models that has the 2 piece design, how's your experience with those? I'm weighing my options between the Toshiba and the Hitachi's comparable models.

                        Hey Blazemaster. Welcome to the forum. My set came delivered as one peice, as such I haven't had a chance to test the split cabinent.

                        I suppose it may depend on the size your getting, but my 51" doesn't seem like it would require separation to move anywere. I think it's around 150 lbs which is a lot lighter than my 36" XBR that was around 250 lbs.

                          Bing ...... How's the Set

                          I have bareley had to tweak my set out of the box. Colors are great and clarity (especially HD) are terrific. Have you needed to recalibrate yours HX yet ? undefined

                            Mr Blazemaster, the tosh as mentioned before me, gets shipped in one piece, splitting is only recommended (if needed) at the customers' door.

                            In the box, there is a separate manual the shows you how it's 2b done. NOTE: READ IT THROUGH BEFORE STARTING THE JOB! It is not that difficult but you'll need two people to do it right. Good luck!
