Color Stream is just Toshiba's name for component video inputs. Component inputs will yield the best picture, given that you have an appropriate source to feed the tv (most likely a DVD player). However, I would say that minimally, you should get a tv with S-video inputs (which I'm pretty sure the Toshiba has). S-video is a Y/C signal (luminance and chrominance), whereas component video is a color-difference signal with Y, R-Y, B-Y. For DVD, the video is stored in this format and it is from this signal that the Y/C or composite signal outputs are derived. So in theory, to reduce the amount of conversions and degradation of the signal, you would want to use the component video. However, in reality, the difference between component and S-video is not that dramatic (unlike between S-video and composite), so you would probably be happy with S-video if that was all the tv had.
