Loewe or Toshiba HDTV ready?

Swampwalker - Sorry I have no solutions for the darkness. I just have the color temp on high, screen set for day, brightness set up around 75% and contrast up around 80% and this seems to work for most programs. I attribute the "darkness" to the invar mask as the B&O Avant with its invar mask also appeared dark but I could be offbase.

Thanks Tke0810,
I replaced the coax connectors and it greatly reduced the
image problems I have on my Aconda.

I have a Loewe Aconda. It has an exception picture when the source material is clean. Unfortunately I view cable where the signal is less than perfect. The Aconda isn't able to correct skin tone deficiencies (My Sony XBR2 did a much better job at tracking skin tones for NTSC) in the NTSC signal which leaves me watching some green people. With the invar mask you will also find the picture darker than what you are normally accustomed too as well. But when the signal is clean you have a virtual 3D picture. I'm not familiar with the Toshiba model but thought you might find the info helpfull.
