Difference between Toshiba 30 HF 66 and 30 HF 85 please!	Can't Post

From the specs, the only difference I can find: 66) ATSC & QAM Tuners vs the 85 only lists QAM. 85) lists Invar Shadow Mask; Black Level Expander and under the HDMI inter face it lists Video Output and Audio Output vs nothing listed under the HDMI feature on the 66 spec sheet, although that may just be an omission on the sheet. So are the Shadow Mask and Black Level Expander key features? The list price for both models is the same on the Toshiba site. Thank You!

ATSC & QAM Tuners let you connect just an over the air antenna or basic cable ( no cable box- only receives analog channels 1-99 ).

Invar Shadow Mask;
A shadow mask is a thin sheet of perforated metal behind the screen that restricts electron flow, each hole in the sheet corresponding to a single pixel. An Invar mask uses an alloy that's especially resistant to the high temperatures generated by the electron beam, allowing in a brighter, clearer picture.

Black Level Expander - Increases the black threshold level, so blacks are pure black, not dark gray. This significantly improves overall picture contrast. Benefit: Improved contrast makes picture appear sharper and more three-dimensional.
The 30HF85 looks like the better set for the money because of the extras including HDMI
