Consumer review by:

I was pleasantly surprised at the overall quality.

 

I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I have received numerous compliments on the great look of the picture and the cabinet. I'm a production/post-production professional so high audio-video performance is important for me. Most of all, I love it...

Great picture. Crisp, colorful and vibrant. Easy menu navigation. Lightweight. Very nice piano black finish. There are plenty of connections, especially since I use an AV receiver with lots of HDMI inputs. The Toshiba even has a PC input

Some have complained about the audio quality but I use a Denon AV receiver for great surround so it is no issue for me. I wish it had PIP but I didn't expect it for the price

Amazing TV for living room or bedroom

 

Toshiba has done it again! Spent just over a month researching different tv's and was worth all the effort. Some say they have concerns about the sound. Don't listen. I have it on 4 and can hear it over my kids. Picture is as sharp as it gets. Toshiba...

Outstanding picture. Sounds lovely. Remote is self explanatory and has easy access buttons for pic size and quality. Sleep timer up to 3hrs. Easy set up

Have not figured out why commercials go away from full screen but probably only has to do with the way they stream it or air it. I have absolutely no bad things to say about this set

Consumer review by:

not bad for a $80 lcd

 

I bought this tv a couple weeks ago broken for 50 bucks, put a 30 buck part in it and it works like a new one. I love the tv. Probably even more because I only have 80 bucks into it. Sounds not that bad, I've heard worse out of lcd's as i've seen a bunch.

Gr8 Picture & Price Mediocre Volume

 

Probably one of the best values around for size and picture quality. Has the 1080p which is what I was looking for. I purchased mine at online at Costco. I live in a rural area of Washington state so going there to pick it up wasn't really an option....

Great LCD for the price!

 

I also managed to get this TV for 400. I have had it for about a month now and I couldn't be more pleased. I looked around and researched for a LONG time before upgrading to a new tv and I have not seen even close to as good a deal considering the 40...

Very solid 60Hz LCD HDTV for the money

 

The picture quality is very good for the price. Colors are well rendered and picture is bright enough for our very brightly lit living room. Glare is not an issue as it has a matte screen. If I had any complaint, it would be that the bezel is quite...
