Great first HDTV November 12, 2008 I purchased this TV from a big box store three days ago; I am not disappointed.
This is my first HDTV, upgrading from a 12 year old Sony 27" Trinitron tube. The picture quality on this Toshiba set on HD sources is great. ESPN HD, NFL football, HBO HD, my XBox 360 all look great. Colors pop.
Non HD sources look nice as well. My Digital Cable box (Time Warner) is connected via a HDMI cable. Non hi-def stations (like Comedy Central) look wonderful (and every bit as good, if not better, than my old set). This Toshiba includes a "DNR" setting (Digital Noise Reduction) which cleans up standard def sources. The picture looks smooth and colorful, not splotchy and downgraded.
Some people have complained about the set needing several seconds to turn on. It does, but I doubt most people will be bothered by it. It takes 5 to 7 seconds.
One caveat. The factory presets on this set aren't ideal. The blacks were slightly washed out and flesh tones a little too orange for my liking. But after going through a THX Optimization (available on every Disney DVD), it looks great. Blacks are much deeper and flesh tones are appropriately pink.
This may not be the best LCD set on the market, but it is very good. In my opinion, it offers a better picture than the Sony KDL-32L4000 and costs significantly less. I found it for $[...] and am thrilled.
Great Television For the Price October 4, 2008 I picked this TV up at a local Circuit City Outlet for a STEAL, and I mean a STEAL!
This TV has great picture quality and great component connections.
Granted it is not 1080P, but as a secondary office TV it is GREAT!
This TV easily compares to the TV's that are priced at 650 to 800 dollars (Sony, Samsung, etc.).
Instructions are easy to use, and setup is a snap. The only con of this TV is the warm up time during the initial power on.
Toshiba offers a 1 year warranty on Products and Labor. Extended warranties are typically offered through resellers, but it may or may not be required depending on the user, etc.
Pros: Easy to read manual, many component connections, great picture quality, good sound.
Cons: TV takes a while to warm up when initial turn on.
Toshiba 32 inch LCD HDTV September 30, 2008 This television took very little time to get it set up and viewable. The tv arrived, was unboxed and within 15 minutes was being used. We used this tv as a stand alone but it is made to be able to put on the wall. Everything fit well and all parts and pieces were accounted for. The flat screen makes it much easier to watch because there is not the distortion of the picture of the other types of tvs. It is HD capable but at this time we are not using this function. If we were to need another television in the house, we would not hesitate to buy another.
