I bought this tv last week and so far have really been satisfied. I had a toshiba for 11 years before this one, and never had a problem with it, so while I didn't buy this tv solely because it was a Toshiba, but it certainly was a benefit. Here's the scoop on the tv as far as I can tell. Pros: The tv is 120Hz and is the most affordable lcd tv this size with that type of Hz. Here's why that's important. If you like to watch sports or play video games, the lower the number is in Hz the slower the processer is in transferring the movement on the screen. But the higher the HZ the faster it will go. 60Hz is available and is less expensive, but if you can afford the 120Hz you should get it, and with this toshiba you can. Another pro is the ease in set-up. You literally plug it in, turn it on, answer a few easy questions, and you're done. It also looks cool, the toshiba light up on the front has absolutly no value to the picture, but it looks way cool. The Cons: The sound is the biggest liability to the TV. If you plan to use a sound system to compliment the tv then this is not an issue, but if you plan to use the installed speakers in the TV, you will notice that the lower tones are hard for Toshiba(It distorts them, a little). This is why I gave the tv 4 instead of 5 stars. The remote isn't as flashy as the samsung, but it is functional and has a pretty cool glow in the dark feature. In short,, if you are on a budget but you really want a good lcd tv at least 40 inches then this is a GREAT buy. If money is no object then you should probably look at the Samsung led tv's(they are amazing, but cost 3 times as much money)
Customer Review: No Buyer's Remorse Here
So far this set has very pleasing. My only complaint is the clunky remote control which has a physical switch to change modes (TV, Cable/Sat, AV1, AV2). The set has 3 HDMI inputs which is nice though many in this price range seem to have 4. During initial set-up the set asks a few questions most of which are basic like if the set will be connected to antenna or cable before automatically scanning and adding channels. The first question though is unusual. It prompts for whether the set will be used in a home or as a store display. Selecting home reduces the backlight to 50% power though this can be adjusted later through the video configuration menu. The set also features advances picture controls many of which I have not had time adjust but should provide enough control to satisfy any one who considers themselves a video guru. Also this TV features basic audio controls (treble bass & balance) as well as features like stable sound, voice enhancing, and bass boost so the control over audio is pleasing. I chose this set for two reasons. I have a standard-def Toshiba set that I've always liked the picture on and the Toshiba HDTV's don't seem to create (or maybe they have the ability to correct) some artifacts on some HD content. I was considering another brand, but I had an opportunity to watch Planet Earth on a set with spec's similar to this one and noticed the other brand displayed artifacts when a subject (bird) was moving rapidly across a solid color field (sky). I watched the same clip on an older Toshiba Regza model a member of my family owned and didn't see the artifacts so I chose to stick with Toshiba and have noticed no artifacts on similar video with this set. Bottom line: I'm very pleased with this TV
