Regza 42RV530U

 

You have a bright future ahead of you if you buy Toshiba's 42RV530U--but not in a good way. Our judges found its images overly bright and washed out, with yellowish or orangey skin tones.

Auto input switch when source turned on Very good sound.

Overbright images; yellowish skin tones Incomplete documentation

With the Toshiba 42RV530U priced at $1300 (as of July 11, 2008), it's the image quality, not the cost, that makes this an easy TV to skip

TOSHIBA 42RV530U LCD TV Review

 

February 17, 2009, the date for Digital Transition Television is getting closer. This is the day when analog television broadcasts will officially cease to exist. In order to enjoy the new digital broadcasts your television must be digital. New...

This 42" HDTV is a good choice for Home Theaters, Karaoke Studios and a Office (since some people may like big screen monitor for their computer.) The overall picture quality is much better than the previous models. It has an elegant design and above...

Recertified gamble paid off for me

 

If you look at the price per size of the TV's offered, this TV and this deal came out better than any offered here. It is scary going with something that has been "recertified" I know. But it did save me about 200 bucks and I'm very pleased with it...

Price was a big pro for me. I was able to get it recertified for a 200 dollar savings. I ordered on a Thursday and had the item sitting in my living room on the following Tuesday. I had the box taken off before I signed receiving and I could find no...

I had a TV that I paid twice what I did for this TV that I bought 2 years ago from a popular brick and mortar store (CC). It was only a 720P TV but very quality. My son uses it now for his PS III game player. This TV compared very well with my previous...

GREAT

 

Had a "big name" brand wireless card that was inconsistent in working -- seemed to conflict with the computer. Switched to this card, and so far it has worked without a hitch. Also cost a lot less than the other card.

The TV is very good for the price. I am running it at 1080p with Blue ray DVD and must say the quaility and brightness of picture is excellent. It also works very good if you are a gamer. PS3 Looks very nice and crisp. The Sharpness is right on and...

Collects dust with its shiny housing. The stand doesnt feel very sturdy, but so far no falls

Great TV for the price

 

Not very pleased with the AIT service. The guy called me at noon and I had to rush back home, then he came at 5pm. Not very professional but I can live with that. I hang my TV using TV mount Bytecc BT3050TSX-BK and worked like a charm. If you are going...

1080p ; Competivite price ; 4 HDMI inputs ; Channel Browser

None so far ; I bought the 1080p just to be ready for the future... HD now is only broadcasted at 1080i (720p), and I dont have a Blueray player

Best Tv ive seen around!!

 

You cant go wrong with a TV priced like this

WOW looks great! Even on analog channels it looks great. Perfect size for the room its in. tons of inputs, enough for around 8 aux devices

Youll need to adjust the colors...they appear washed out when under default

Awesome LCD TV

 

You will not be disappointed with this LCD TV, Toshiba has always been at the forefront of High Def (HD-DVD), so its a brand you know is quality. Neweggs AIT delivery was awesome as well, I received my TV in 3 or 4 days from ordering it - Thanks NEWEGG

After surfing the internet for weeks upon weeks on reviews of LCD TVs, I finally decided on the Toshiba 42" Regza and I love it. With a quick google search for color settings, your HD signal looks excellent (better than factory color settings). Enough...

None so far (3 months owning it)
