Awesome TV

 

pick this up! very few people need a 1080p set, so don't let that discourage you

bargain price, SD looks amazing, deep blacks and bright colors. my eyes can't see any color inaccuracies like you get on some of the LCD models

Toshiba REGZA 42AV500A

 

Overall its a "decent" tv, besides the fact the panels are rubbish, the firmware is very dodgy even after upgrades, It wont run my Wii without Component cables (an extra $50)

Toshiba REGZA 42AV500A

 

Overall a massively good product with no major problems digital tv tuner was as easy as pie the regza link option makes it easy to operate home theatre, well worth the money considering the opposition.

Regza link strange name but works well ; very light to transport despite its bulky appearance

setting the bad boy requires gymnastic skill as you have lie it down to install the stand
