Customer Reviews

High quality TV for a great price
I needed a flatscreen to go above my fireplace in a fairly sunny room. It also had to be 120Hz as I watch a lot of sport. I can say that this TV is really incredible, especially when you consider the price. I read "techie" reviews at AVSforum and was impressed. Hockey seems to benefit the most from 120Hz with the fast player movement, fast camera panning, and tiny puck. Turning 120Hz (clearframe) off really makes you realize the difference. The colors are great, bright without being too unrealistic. The sound is good enough. I recommend turning the bass boost to medium to reduce some occasional distortion. Although it has a glossy frame, its thin, so isn't too distracting. The IR passthrough feature is great - I have the TV above the fireplace, and the A/V components off to the side out of view. The only negative thing I've found so far is the time it takes the TV to readjust after changing channels (using an HD satellite box...it takes a couple of seconds to change channels). However, I am not sure if this is the TV's fault or the satellite receiver. I've had the TV for several months and am still impressed every time I turn it on.

Great TV, Install Service Great as Well!
I picked this model Toshiba for the following reasons:
1. 42" is the maximum size I can fit on the TV stand
2. Consumer reports rated this TV as one of the best 42" LCD TVs
3. This TV has one of the better viewing angles from the side (LCD TVs can distort as the viewer moves more to the side of the TV)
4. LCD TVs usually consume less power then Plasma TVs
5. The 120hz should make rapid motion programs (e.g. sports) smoother then lower refresh rates

After owning this TV for about 3 weeks, I love it! As best I can tell, all the criteria above were met or exceeded.

The delivery and installation was great too, these TVs come in very big boxes and with the delivery person's help I had the TV connected and working in about 10 minutes.

True HD programming is awesome, from football to movies to nature documentaries. I can hardly wait until all TV programs go HD, since non-HD looks "fuzzy" in comparison.
