 Perfect even a year later! Jul 31, 2010
I had NO PROBLEMS at all...quick delivery, perfect packaging, easy to set up, great picture. I would say it could use additional speaker system, but I have owned this for almost one year now, and love my TV!! Worth the price I paid, and would recommend Toshiba all the way.
 Think twice before buying this TV! May 30, 2010
I purchased this TV in January, 2009. The picture is fantastic, but that is one of the few things that I can say that are positive. We have had issues with the TV's remote control, the TV makes a high-pitched squeal sometimes when getting a signal from different inputs, and it also "fades to black" spontaneously.
I have contacted Toshiba customer service over 15 times since last year and have had a service tech out to the house twice. None of the issues have ever been resolved.
In regards to the remote issues, the reps have offered up the possible causes: "do you have fluorescent lights in your house?" and my favorite, "do you have windows in that room?"
When I reported the "fade to black" issue, one of the reps told me that "your antenna may be losing signal." Now I am not a TV expert, but I think after having an antenna for many years, I know what it looks like when the signal is weak.
The second time their service tech came to my house, he literally never touched the TV and told me everything was ok.
The last time I called, the rep told me "we will get back to you with a resolution in two or three days." That was over seven weeks ago.
So if you want horrible customer service if your TV ever has a problem, by all means, this Toshiba TV is the TV for you!

 Great picture, poor reception, weird spiritual possession May 04, 2010
We've had this TV for a little over a year. Picture is outstanding - too good for my old video game consoles but the Blu-Ray looks awesome. Sound is only okay ... a set like this really deserves a good amp and 5.1 speakers.
Setup is easy, although the built-in tuner is really weak. This is a set designed with cable or satellite in mind - and we tend to lose reception every time a car drives by because we do not have cable. The stink of it is that if we got cable, we'd only be able to get 480i or at best 720p on most stations, including local, because of the local cable companies. Even with an antenna (an RCA flat) reception is not much better.
The tuner also has a tendency to freeze - or something like it where the channel will just stick and nothing responds. Just faces frozen in time on our screen. Turning it off and on has worked - so far.
The other gripe is more recent and perplexing. Our TV has a tendency to randomly change channels. It's not the remote (we can take the batteries out and it still happens) and it doesn't seem to be a stuck button on the console itself (we'll hit the opposite button to no effect). It just fundamentally dislikes what's on and decides that something must be done about it. Our only solution is to turn it off and wait a while to see if it stops. Today has been worse than most, though we've been able to catch most of what we usually watch.
 Only worked for 3 days Mar 09, 2010
The only reason I give this any stars at all is because I liked everything about this Toshiba, until it decided to just turn off and stop working. I have no clue what happened and neither does the tech so it must just be a lemon. But to me that's enough of a failure not to buy a Toshiba product again. I might understand if it didn't work out of the box. But for it to work for a few days and then just stop is unacceptable for what is supposed to be a quality brand.
 Great TV for it's day Feb 25, 2010
Bought this TV last January for a steal ($700 then). It's a quality set and outperformed most sets of similar pricing. The blacks are great, the picture is crisp, and there's a lot of video adjustment options for calibration. My only complaint is that the built-in speakers are weak sauce (although this is consistent for many flat screens). Also, input switching is not always as responsive as I'd like it to be. Off-angle viewing preserves colors better than other sets, but blacks gray out a bit.
However, nowadays you can buy a better set with higher contrast ratio (this set is said to be ~10,000:1) for similar price from Sony or Samsung on sale.

Consumer Reports Says: Buy HDTV at Amazon!
Washington, D.C. (July 2010) -- When it comes to price, Consumer Reports says shoppers are most likely to find the best deals online. And the publication called three ecommerce sites "standouts" in this year's Consumer Reports ratings of electronics stores: Amazon.com, Crutchfield.com and B&H (bhphotovideo.com)
The magazine's survey was based on more than 38,000 purchases of electronics, including flat-screen TVs, between January 2009 and June 2010. The report indicated that online stores consistently offered better prices. (The magazine's full report can be found in its July 2010 issue.)
"Buying online can be better," the magazine said in a press release. "The higher-rated electronics retailers in Consumer Reports annual reader survey are Web sites. Readers who bought online rated their overall satisfaction at 90 out of 100 -- higher than those who bought in a store. Additionally, many Web merchants offer free shipping, even on TVs, which could spare the hassle of struggling to fit a bulky carton in the car or paying a local store for delivery."
Consumer Reports said that while no single retailer scored excellent in all shopping categories, Amazon.com came closest.
