Toshiba 37X3030D LCD Tv
User Reviews of the Toshiba 37X3030D Television
My new Tosh 37X3030 gives a cracking HD picture on my sky HD box. (And my laptop can drive it natively at 1920*1080x60p via DVI though I had to sit closer to read the tiny but perfect text of the desktop icons.)
It does show how soft SD is. The SD stuff down converted from HD looks OK if a little soft as does DVD, but my regional news prog looks like someone smeared vaseline on the lens. I'm glad I didn't buy a bigger set it would be unbearable to watch some SD programmes.
It did take me quite a while to tweak most of the picture twiddles out to get a decent picture from it. But I'm fairly happy with the result. I can see the finest 1 pixel gratings on the SKY HD 1080i test card clearly, and a near perfect greyscale and poke you in the eye clear colourimetry and perfect exact scan framing. ( A better gamma tweak might be good though as fine detail in the blacks can be lost!)
The sound quality is the TV's weak area it performed poorly on male newsreaders voices switching off the 'bass boost' made it listenable but too dull for action movies.
