 Fantastic TV |

I did a lot of research prior to purchasing a flat screen HDTV and found this one to stand alone. Consumer Reports compared this TV to a comparable Sony and Samsung (LCD's) and beat them both. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.
I would recommend that any LCD or Plasma TV you purchase be professionally tuned for optimal viewing, although out of the box the TV performs exceptionally well.
The biggest advantage I found with an LCD compared to a plasma is that there isn't any glare with an LCD. We have 2 skylights and a french door within 5' of our TV. I actually preferred the Pioneer 50" (5080 model) Plasma's color to the Toshiba LCD but the light effects based on our home layout ruled out any Plasma. The Toshiba, of all the LCD's, had the best black and color resolutions of any LCD out there with no glare from natural lighting.
The extra $300 you'd spend compared to a Samsung is well worth it. The TV is in line with Sony price wise but this model is a hair better in both my consumer reports opinion. My $.02.

| We ordered this TV from an Amazon partner, and it arrived well-packaged and in great condition. We set it up and it's about the best TV picture we've ever seen. Really black blacks, no problems at all with fast action. Sharp, crisp picture with excellent realistic colors. No glare problems from room light, unlike our previous TV. Fits very close to the wall with no issues, opening up a ton of floor space. We're very glad we bought this! |

I spent a lot of time reviewing different big-screen HDTVs. When it came down to buying one, this is the one I wanted because it had all of the right specs. I liked the full 1080p that most plasmas don't have. I also liked that you could see it from a wide viewing angle, unlike the rear projection sets. I also liked that it had 3 HDMI inputs instead of just 2 so that I could plug my satellite, my PS3, and still have an empty HDMI slot for a computer, or HD-DVD player (as opposed to blu-ray, just in case), or whatever else might come along.
We got the TV, and I knew what to expect with HDTV. But I was still amazed at how extraordinary the picture was. I'm really glad we got the full 1080, because the over-the-air broadcasts were sending 1080, and it was breathtaking. I didn't necessarily want to watch the show that was on, but we sat and just stared at the picture! It was phenomenal. So much detail! The picture is amazing, and with the ColorBurst, and the Dynamic Lighting, this TV does a great job at producing a great picture.
My only complaint is that there is only 1 S-Video input. It seemed kind of odd since there are 3 HDMI inputs, and 2 more component HD inputs. I still have a couple of things that produce S-Video, and so I have to route them through my stereo, and use that as the switch. I'm also surprised that the PC-input is a 15-pin Dsub (VGA-type) instead of the newer DVI inputs. But that isn't a show-stopper either, since it's easy enough to get adapters. So make sure you plan out how you want to connect this TV before you get it, especially if you have some older equipment. If everything you have is new, then you'll have absolutely no problems connecting to it. I'm giving this a 5-star rating because I LOVE the picture, and everything works great!

First, kudos to Amazon and Eagle for the efficient delivery process. I ordered the TV on a Monday, got a call from Eagle on Thursday and had it out of the box and in my house by noon on Saturday.
Now, for the TV. I have always been a fan of Toshiba products and while everyone else was looking at Samsung, Sharp and Sony LCDs, I was confident that for the money Toshiba would come up wtih a TV I would not be disappointed in. In fact, now that I have it hooked up to Time Warner HD the question is what would the more expensive version of the TV really give me? If you agree Hockey in HD is about as good a test of motion on a LCD, then all I can say is I cannot see the flaws, if any, from twelve feet away. And, the color settings were more than satisfactory out-of-the-box.
I enjoy video, and movies in-particular, and am more than happy with this purchase. I would have spent more if necessary for a better picture, but is a more expensive LCD really going to be better? |
Wow! We made a great decision!

We ordered this LCD the weekend before Christmas. It shipped Christmas eve and Eagle delivered the TV the following Wednesday. They brought the TV in, unpacked it and allowed my husband to check it over. Because it was only 12 degrees outside, they recommended not plugging it in until it warmed up. We had it up and running that evening with a fabulous picture.
We hooked it up with our Philips home theatre system and it is unbelieveably clear --even on NFL and NHL sports! We have no motion lag. Like several others, we had compared to the samsung 120Hz in stores and couldn't see a difference so we were able to get the 52" Toshiba for the price of the 47" Samsung 120Hz. Wow --Amazon has some great pricing and the delivery service is definitely top notch. You will not be dissatisfied with this purchase! ENJOY |
