42" 1080p LCD HDTV

Pros: What can I not say about this TV. Its big, its 1080p, its just awesome. I had to purchase a new LCD because my Polaroid (which no one should ever buy) died after only 2 years and they were going to chrage me $225 to fix the dumb thing. So I opted to buy a name brand TV like toshiba because my wifes 26" toshiba is over 10 years old and still kicking. This has 4 HDMI ports which is very nice.

Cons: Sound is that great, like i have read on other sites before I purchased this. But you don't buy a TV for the sound. I plan on getting a surround sound system one of these days and that will fix the problem. Its not really a problem just a gripe. I played with the sound options a little bit and made it sound a lot better after some tweaking.

Overall Review: I went from a 32" to this 42" and it makes things just look awesome. I played a little bit of my Wii last night and on Star Wars Legos the people were huge. This TV is a great buy, I got mine for less than $1000 and with a 4 year warranty.

Pros: Beautiful picture, good sound, plenty of inputs.

Cons: The bulb causes IR interference which stops the remote on my cable box from working. After calling Toshiba, a quick switch of the picture mode from auto to either standard or movie changes the bulb settings and eliminates IR interference. If this interference wasn't there, 5egg rating.

Pros: The tv has a great picture. It arrived in perfect shape. Great price for a Toshiba Regza. There are enough HDMI connections to hook up everything.

Cons: The tv will emit so much IR interference that the remote to my HD cable box is useless. I have found that this is a common issue in a lot of the newer LCD and Plasma TVs. It can possibly be fixed by changing some settings but I havent found the right ones. I am up for any suggestions.

Pros: Out-of-the-box colors are pretty good. Obviously it's good to calibrate any HDTV that you get, but for those that aren't high-tech, you'd be plenty satisfied without making any adjustments to your color settings. The SRT technology makes standard TV look great, so don't worry if you currently have no HD content. I have my computer, Blu-ray, Xbox, PS, and external speakers hooked up and there's still plenty of inputs for future additions (which I will be getting with my tax returns). Matte finish (personal opinion, but I don't like all of the glare that comes with shiny finished screens, and the colors are bright, so I didn't see any reason to get a shiny finished TV). Plays 1080p just fine. I did a lot of research before buying a HDTV, and in the end, I found that this TV had more to offer, and looked better than a lot of the Sony's I've seen.

Cons: It's not 62 inches. It's not 120Hz (almost all TV's under 50 inches you're not going to notice a difference between 120Hz and 60Hz, so don't worry about that unless you're looking for a 50+ inch TV). The remote acts a little sluggish at times, but I don't always notice it, and no one else that uses the TV has mentioned it, so maybe it's just me.

Overall Review: HDTV's aren't new anymore, so a lot of brands that may have not been top contenders in the HDTV market are now fully caught up and are more than worth a look. I have never though much of Toshiba in the HDTV market, but just in the last year they have put out some incredible products, and I've actually found myself favoring them over most other brands at this point, weird, right?

Pros: Great TV; purchased the 32AV502U last month and was looking for something bigger. When I saw this on sale at newegg, I had to grab it. Perfect size, picture is beautiful. Size/weight allows me to handle it by myself, unlike a DLP. I have a popcorn hour hooked up via HDMI and it functions wonderfully! The menus are fairly simple and easy to get through. I had it set up in a couple minutes after putting the stand together. Good stand for the size of the TV. Great array of inputs/outputs.

Cons: The sound leaves a bit to be desired, but I didn't buy it for the sound. Hook it up to a receiver and you're gold. Not sure if this is a Toshiba thing, LCD, or what, but changing the channels is a bit slow. At least compared with my old Sharp tube.

Overall Review: My second Toshiba LCD-TV and I'm very pleased. Great value for the money!

Pros: Performance will depend on the quality of your HD signal (we have FIOS), but the 1080p programming is amazing. Colors are astounding. But this TV also does an amazingly good job of upconverting 480 and 720p. The 480 isn't as sharp but it's surprisingly clean, and the 720P is brought up very close to 1080. DVDs look VERY close to 1080P -- no great need for Blu-Ray on this size screen (42). This is not 120 hz but I don't think it could look discernibly better for the extra $400 it would cost -- This TV has a 24fps movie engine that handles motion issues extremely well.

Cons: The remote and some things about the interface are a little clunky but that shouldn't be a significant factor. It is hard to turn subtitling on and off -- would be nice if that were a button on the remote. No serious downside that I've seen so far. Connections are generous (4 HDMI). Built in sound is decent -- for many there will be no need for a separate sound system.

Overall Review: I'm thrilled. The glowing reviews are justified -- this TV is absolutely in the same class as the 1080P Bravias and high-end Aquos for quite a bit less money -- and its upconverting engine might be better than those more expensive brands -- which is a big factor for me because the reality is we will be continuing to watch a lot of SD content and DVDs for a while.

Pros: This is a great TV! 1080p 42" with 4 hdmi all for a awesome newegg price! It has a wonderful picture, great view angles, very clear, crisp and great colours. It took a little bit to tweaking to get them just right. The slim polished bezel really adds to the looks of the TV which is what I was hoping for when i did buy a new TV (matches the entertainment centre). My PS3 games look amazing and so do blu-ray's. Lots of features and great quality packed in to this TV. It is definitely a 5egg product you will not be disappointed. Newegg rocks purchased processed and shipped same day and arrived 5 days early.

Cons: The remote control layout isn't very good and the settings menu for the TV isn't the best but its not enough to make me send it back or give it no less than 5 eggs. The digital optical out on the TV only outputs in stereo unless its from a HD cable/sat provider then I was able to get 5.1, I was a little confused about that considering it has dolby digital on the box (i could just have not figured it out yet, stranger things have happened) but if your crazy about sound your going to be routing it through your receiver anyway.

Pros: Awesome price (899 at the time of purchase), free shipping, no tax. Worked great out of the box, haven't had to tweak it much. Lots of inputs for a tv in this price range.

Cons: none
