Wow, when I got my HDTV cable box I could definitely see the difference between 1080i movies on cable and DVD. How much are those conversion units?

Thanks, that's good to know. I didn't listen to the commentary on the DVD. The making of documentary was excellent, though. Just wish they had produced it in widescreen :) .

Finding Nemo looked great for the most part on my Toshiba. However, in some shots there was a large orange halo around Marlin. It was only under certain lighting, and certain shades of blue water. I don't think this is a convergence problem. Any thoughts? I guess its some sort of color bleed...

Okay, I should've poked around the forum before posting my previous message. From what I gather this vertical ghost line is a common Toshiba thing. I found it funny that 90% of the mentions also said they saw it during hockey. I guess if its not a problem with my particular set then exchanging...

Could someone elaborate further on the Toshiba 'white line'? I recently purchased one, and earlier today while watching a hockey game, I noticed a faint vertical line near the center of the screen. I think it is most apparent during movement on a white background, hence my noticing it during...

Have you tried searching on CNET.com? They will list out who carries what, with a rating for the dealer.

Interesting footnote to this topic. I was watching a movie with subtitles tonight. When DVD output was set to 480p, the subtitles seemed to shake. It was subtle but very distracting. When I switched to 480i they were nice and stable.

Okay the below from Toshiba's website answers my question. In any IDSC Pro TV (which includes all the H83s, I think), 480i and 480p are automatically converted to 540p. On all H83s excepts the 42", you have the option to watch a 480 signal at 1080i: IDSC™ Pro : IDSC™ Pro coverts all 480i...

Thanks. If you say there is an option on the 57 then the 42H83 definitely doesn't have it. I vaguely remember reading on this forum recently that they didn't include that as an option on the 42". I just wanted to confirm. I switched back and forth between 480p and 480i on Two Towers, and...

Question: Do the HDTVs you are talking about have a menu option to switch between 540p and 1080i? I have a Toshiba 42H83, and haven't seen this option. Does anyone know if it converts everything to 1080i, or is the option a fancy name? Thanks Brian

I realize this thread is almost 6 months old, but I just picked up a 42H83. I think I also see the faint horizontal lines. I think they are there with all sources. I definitely notice them on the 'Two Towers' DVD with any large sky shots. For those who posted on this thread, did you resolve this...

Thanks for the replies. I'll let you know how it works out. Brian

I ordered a Toshiba 42H83 which is set to be delivered this Saturday. I am really happy to have found this forum; it is a fantastic resource. I've read quite a few of the posts on setting up a new RPTV, but have several questions. First, it seems the consensus is to turn down the contrast on...
