 Excellent product, excellent value January 7, 2009
We're extremely pleased with this TV, our first flat screen, our first big TV. The resolution is staggering and alleviates any reservations I had about purchasing a large TV. The only drawback is that the remote does not take over all the tasks that our cable remote does, so we must use 2 remotes. The problem may be built in by the cable provider, or it may be the Toshiba remote - we don't know.
More than I expected January 7, 2009
The TV is great. Even the sound is pretty good. Coupled up with U Verse from ATT I'm having great fun. The delivery service hand carried the 80 lb box up slippery steps and it worked great right out of the box. As a side note I bought a wall mount from Sams Club for $60.00 after pricing at Best Buy for $200.00 plus. The Sams mount is rated for 100 lbs but limited to 37 inch screens. I took that risk and it works fine.

Ok , so I bought this T.V. about six months ago and i couldn't be happier with it. The picture was crisp the sound was on point. I had no problems with it, until yesterday when it stopped working. Apparently the power supply died in it, so after doing some researched i learned that mine wasn't the only one this happened to. Thank god it was still under warranty and Toshiba is going to pay for parts and labor to fix it. But I'm kinda disappointed that it happened in a six month period with such an expensive T.V. I guess they just don't make things like they use to.
Excellent overall pick. December 29, 2008

I did a fair amount of research before buying this model, and I have to say I love it. I'm not an expert on the technology, but I wanted a full HD capable set for a resonable price, and I basically did my comparison by researching online and comparing features and also by going into stores and comparing pictures myself. I thought this Toshiba looked as good as several more exspensive models from other manufacturers, and I haven't been dissapointed. I really only watch HD programming from my local cable provider, haven't tried a Blu-ray yet, but everything looks great that I've tried.
 Nice TV, Comcast box compatible? December 16, 2008

We have had this TV over two weeks after spending weeks researching TV's. Its my first LCD TV and I'm very impressed. The screen looks fantastic, and 42" is plenty big in our living room (12x22). I have found no dead pixels, and if you want it brighter, turn off the power save features, however I think the power save/autoview work just fine, brightening as needed based on ambient light. I didn't find that color settings needed adjusting and left that on auto-home mode. Screen looks great even with glare coming in from the afternoon sun shining through the front door. The housing definitely picks up dust, an issue for us since we have a wood stove. I have the SRT supconvert feature set on automode, but I can't see the difference in the levels, from 1 to 5, and there is little explanation in the manual, and I have noticed now some strange artifacts on non-HD channels, vertical lines/warping, especially noticable on peoples faces on news channels. It may be the cable box (see below). The sound seems very good for a LCD TV, and Toshiba I think makes special effort in this regard, as they do not hype 5 speaker surround sound like some other manufacturers, but it is not "Hi Fi".
We had the TV directly hooked up to cable for the first week, but could not get all channels that way (missing some digital channels that are normally between 100-200 on the Comcast box), so no encore/IFC/Sundance, no digital music channels, no Bloomberg, and no HBO. Other channels in that ranged showed up under other numbers, like 10-1, etc. Since we have HBO and on demand thru Comcast, we upgraded to the HD box and hooked it up thru HDMI port 1 on the back of the TV. Unfortunately, the Comcast box remote doesn't work most of the time when the TV is on, but works fine when the TV is turned off or the HDMI cable is disconnected from the TV. Its not the remote itself, as the old comcast remote and the Toshiba universal remote (which I have programmed for the cable box) have the same issue with the Comcast HD box. Also, HBO and on demand do not work, showing only a call comcast message. Comcast is due out today after 6 days after the cable box arrived and 5 days after the appt was set up. Its just so strange that the remotes only work to the cable box when the TV is off. Hopefully, its nothing to do with the TV, some sort of interference or something.
