OK, I guess I will answer my own post. My gut feeling is telling me to go with the Toshiba. I have read the posts and most of the issues were resolved by the users buying better components. Very few to zero lamp complaints. I noticed that there were very few total break down threads.
I like the screen splitting and the illuminated remote. I just can't find any item that the samsung out did the Toshiba in. Please correct me if I am wrong? |

After researching a month or so, I have come to the same conclusion. I dunno if that makes you feel better or not 
So..where are you getting it? Are you sure you want the 84 and not 94? |

HI Drew, I like the 94 better, but I cannot afford it. The 84 cost alot less. I was going to pick up the Toshiba last night. But the return guy jerked me around to the point where I may go to the BBB regardless of the outcome. I expect to pick up the Toshiba by this weekend after returning the Samsung. |

OK, Here's the deal! I purchased the Toshiba and so far it's doing quite well. The SDTV is very good. I'm using a cheap component cable. I'm wondering if this is why it is hard for me to tell the difference between HD and SD on this set. DVDs look good and I'm using progressive scan, not HD. NO marching ants, I only see rainbows when I turn my head fast and they are less vivid, less noise, and it looks better than the samsung. I'm not going to say it's better than the samsung. But, it's certainly not worse! The drawback I see with this unit is that it only has one HDMI input and no DVI input. The 94s have two HDMI inputs and the salesman was mis-informed and told me it had two like the 94s. I could use the component inputs, but I need to get a conclusion on the quality difference between component and DVI/HDMI |
