I've got a case of upgraditis, and felt the sudden urge to get a 16:9 set for my HT. I've been very satisfied with my 61" Toshiba 4:3 set for a while, and have been impressed with the quality of the other Tosh 16:9 sets I've seen on display, and am seriously thinking about sticking with the Toshiba brand.
I've seen both the 65H80 and the TW65X81 sets...my question is: what's the difference? I haven't taken the time to totally plunge into tech specs on either just yet, and was hoping to get some insight from anyone on here who has either bought one of these or have been looking to and had any info to share.
Thanks in advance.

I might be wrong, but I think the X81's are old versions, replaced by the H80's.

The TW56X81 is the 2000 model, 56H80 is the 2001 model. I've had a 56X81 for about 16 months and have been very happy with it. Go with the 56H80 if you like it, should be a great set.

The H80's are the replacement of the X81's. Since the price difference is generally very small I think you shouold go with the H80. I have the 40H80 and the improvement with respect to the TW40X81 is a better remote (without the reset button) and I think a slightly better line doubler.

I was checking out the prices on these sets at onecall.com, and it's about a $2,000 difference between the TW65X81 (5999.00) and the 65H80(3999.00). That's a hell of a price difference for the same features, isn't it?
If they are indeed the same, I think I'll (obviously) go for the 65H80.
Thanks for the info, guys.
