I think I've (almost) narrowed down my choice of a 46" Rear Projection TV to either the Hitachi 46F510 or the Toshiba 46H84C.

Currently, I'm leaning towards the Hitachi because of a review I read on-line that says it has a feature that adjusts the color on the top and bottom (or left and right) bars when viewing non-16:9 images (i.e. regular TV broadcast) to shades of grey, vice black, which apparently will help avoid (or at least delay) the inevitable screen burn-in.

If anyone has purchased either of these models, I'd really appreciate your thoughts, experiences, etc.

I've had the Hitachi 46F510 for about a week now and couldn't be happier. I was also looking at the Toshiba, but decided against it due to negative reviews.

Thanks for the info.....last weekend I had the opportunity to see the 51" versions of the Hitachi and Toshiba models I was looking side-by-side at a local "big box" store. Due, in some part I think, to the light levels in the store, and the fact that I couldn't really stand back more than 6 or 7 feet from the 2 sets (shelves and stuff in the way), it was kinda hard to judge which set was best (they seemed pretty darn close), but I'm still leaning towards the Hitachi (and now, because it actually seems like a better deal, I might go for the 51" instead of the 46").
