The Toshiba 21V13B has very good picture quality even in a poor signal area like mine is, surrounded by hills on all sides. Colour saturation is very high and very bright. I bought this set 4 months ago to replace my broken philips set. I bought it because it was the only TV in the whole warehouse display that i can see the picture clearly on from 50 feet away.
It was displayed with other televisions even widescreen ones up to 32 inch display did not seem at all good at that distance with grainy drained pictures. This one had a bright and well balanced picture even with the controls set to half.
The multi i/o scart socket is a bonus as well. Sometimes i use this television with my computer to display overall AUTOCAD drawings and PAINTSHOPPRO drawings.
Mine is a 21 inch flatscreen model that has done really well but i have sold it on now to my brother and bought a 36 inch version in france for 400 euro for use at home. It's the same as the 21 but a lot bigger and has four scarts.
When widescreen technology moves on a bit i might go for that but at the moment even the SONY GRAND VEGA has nothing against this set. A friend has bought a SONY G/VEGA recently and returned it because of poor picture quality. Walk on sony.
