5Toshiba figured it out!...
By Someone said so...
Let's just say I have had my experiences with LCD TV's. I have a Westinghouse (which has 67+ Reviews on Crutchfield alone, a Sharp and a Samsung) With all that said, this Toshiba puts them all to shame. All the Extras hooked up: PS3, HDTV Sat, HDTV Over Air and of course SD Sat; without any doubt this TV on a whole Blows away the competition (coming from a Die Hard SONY fan) The important stuff; 3 HDMI inputs, TV Optical Out, Ability to select Direct Input when changing Video Inputs(this is important when programming Universal Remotes), A ton of Video Settings and of course it is simply Beautiful.Designed in the image of the Classic Sleek pricey Pioneer Elites or the always gorgeous hard to find LG LCD sets; it's absolutely clean on the outside in the surrounding fairly thin jet Black Bezel...The speakers are hidden, but yet they sound amazing(Adjustable settings). The Picture in SD is beyond ANY other I have seen on an LCD. In HD the set will blow you away, guaranteed! Over the Air reception of HD is spectacular; I picked up 10 channels (5 HD) I did not have before. My PS3 comes to life, especially in Game Mode; all this and I have no space to mention the PC input. The Remote is better than most TV Universal remotes, with the odd exception of it not having a direct on/off CC button(Odd!)..Toshiba has truly figured it out and has set a New Bar for all those "other" Manufacturers to follow. Go compare all the specs on Crutchfield! But Do not let the Amazon price fool you; Toshiba has given the best absolute quality at below average Name Brand pricing...Everyone I have shown the set to, has been in Awe!...then when they hear the price, Forget about it!

5Great Buy, Great Quality
By C. Ragsdale
I pondered for quite a while on a Panasonic plasma or this Toshiba LCD. After having seen the Panasonic in lineups at a few stores and noticing how head and heels above all the others it was, I really wanted it. But after reading reviews and pros and cons about Plasma versus LCD and all of that...I couldn't quite shake loose the price of the plasma set. I continued studying and came to this Toshiba Regza...I read some online reviews and Toshiba's own facts.I decided I would take a chance on the Regza and save 400 bucks in the process.I ordered it from Amazon.com. They shipped it via their 'white glove' delivery service. I live in Arizona and it came from Pennsylvania...intact, no problems! And Amazon covered the freight! Can't beat that.I was a little perturbed at first , because I have no HDMI connections on any other equipment I have, so had to do a little engineering to get it all connected correctly. The booklet with the set, was a little weak on hook ups. So you might need to know, or have someone who knows how, when you hook it up. Especially if you have any components. My stuff is older...as I don't or can't buy NEW equipment every six months when they change as fast as they do now. Long story short, I managed to hook everything up and got my surround sound working and DVD/VCR combo too, and cable box, (although I want to go back to DirecTV). For my local HD channels I connected the Terk antenna described here in one of my other reviews. You cannot go wrong with it for local HD or Digital channels, so check that out.Watched the Indy 500 and the Coca Cola 600 today in HD and both were excellent! Have to say the FOX HD on the Nascar race was superior! Excellent TV, Excellent picture quality and fairly easy to use controls and remote. The stand and tv build took about 5 minutes. I , for one...don't like the fact that most TV stands now , cost as much as a TV should. So, I went to Home Depot , bought some red oak for about 80 bucks and built my own stand!Overall Excellent buy and highly recommended!UPDATE: 1 YEAR LATER...still EXCELLENT and I UPGRADED! Now have HDMI DVD and HDMI receiver...sound quality and video quality even MORE improved! Only BluRay could be better and not sure how much!

5Excellent Value
By Artset Outset
First, thanks to all of you who have posted reviews. They are a tremendous help in making purchasing decisions. After receiving word from a Circuit City salesman that they make no attempt to adjust the demos on the floor, I realized that I had little else to work with. It only takes a slight difference in the brightness and/or contrast settings of side-by-side units to influence an opinion.This LCD HDTV has a great picture. I have several sources, but the over-the-air HD broadcast channels are by far the best. I cannot imagine a better picture. I did cycle through the menu and made some adjustments to the "out of the box" settings to optimize it. Yes, it is a 720p as opposed to a 1080p but I doubt my eyes would ever detect the difference and 1080p sources are only a future possibility for me. The color across the spectrum is close, but not perfect. Skin tones are excellent. Contrast is very good. I have watched a lot of sports and have seen no problems with response lags. I am an electrical engineer and I understand all of the specifications. I agonized over them at length. So what? Your eyes tell the story.Audio is typical. The expectation of home theater quality is unrealistic. I like the volume leveler cicuit. Loud advertisements make me crazy. I haven't tried routing the audio output to my home theater system, yet, so I don't know whether I will get "Stable Sound" or not.Eagle did an excellent job with delivery. It took 2 weeks from when I placed the order to receive the unit. They called in advance to schedule the delivery and called an hour before they arrived. The two guys attached the stand and waited for me to turn it on before they left. This was a courtesy offered so they could take the packaging with them. They informed me that had the unit been DOA or defective, they could not have taken it with them at that time. They also told me that they had delivered over 500 flat screen TVs of various types and had never had one that was DOA or defective. They said that many of their deliveries had been for refurb units. I guess that information would make me feel even worse if I was one of the reviewers that had experienced disaster.What could be improved?-It only has one coax input. I would like to have one for ATSC and another for NTSC. I did not find another choice that had this available.-The VGA input has a limit of 1024x768. The full native resolution would have been better. I am going to go to a video card with a DVI output in my PC using a DVI to HDMI adapter cable to overcome this limitation. I hope that works. I haven't tried an HDMI input, yet.-The station recall feature on the remote does not understand the subchannels (ex 58-1) and is useless for the over-the-air digital source. It reverts to the analog channel (ex 58.)-When you mute the sound, it defaults to CC display. This is actually a nice feature except that when I change it via the menu, it reverts back the next time I cycle power.- The remote is solid but not arranged completely the way I would have expected and I am going through a learning curve. Every manufacturer does things differently. I wish it was backlit.I hope this helps you. Circuit City had this unit for $1500 after taxes. I paid $1200 through Amazon. I like the idea of being able to return the unit "for any reason," but I am too cheap to buy the peace of mind.
