Product is exactly as advertised, arrived sooner than anticipated and was in A1 condition. Toshiba seems to make a great product – the perfect TV for the kids in their play room. Can be used with their games systems, computre, DVD and as a television. Could not ask for more.

I bought this for my parents for Christmas at a price of 349.95 with free shipping. It was being sold by Tigerdirect through Amazon. I’m not sure who is at fault politically, but I ended up paying $125 for shipping. After many emails and conversations and of course both companies playing the blame game, I still don’t have and won’t get my money back. I could have ordered this TV at many other places for the same price and free shipping but choose AMAZON because I wanted one other item on their site. If I would have saved the promotional web page when I ordered, this would all go away. Sooo, in the future I will save all pages when ordering especially from AMAZON, and recommend everyone do the same…great TV though

The sound is fair and the picture quality is ok if you are basically right in front of the set. I purchased the tv only a couple of weeks ago and still am stumbling through the 59 page instruction manual. Good luck on this unless you are an expert in tv features and operations. Would I buy it again? Maybe.

Bought this tv from circuit city when it was going out of business. It wouldn’t work as a regular tv not even when I hooked up several differnt antenas and multiple convertor boxes trying to get just local hd television. So I then hooked it up to my computer. It worked for a while then one day while I was playing one of my games it just went black. the green power button is still on, it even makes a sound when I turn it off (after I hold down the power button on the console or the remote for about 12 seconds. I’m just glad I have this second montior because the toshiba is black and not working. I wouldn’t recommend this piece of junk to anyone.

I guess I should have bought a plasma. This tv is fine, but you must adjust the color, brightness, contrast etc. for every channel. I don’t think it’s the tv. But unless you are sitting right in front of it the quality of the picture changes. I guess that’s because it’s an lcd, like my laptop. But for the size and the price and brand, I think it’s a good deal. I have been enjoying it much more than my 20″ Tosiba analog flat screen.
