The LCD TV is an absolute brilliant piece of kit. The picture quality is the best I have ever seen and the older programmes almost look like they are being played in HD. The sound is very effective and you don't get that boom blast when you change channels. A great buy and and gives a great all round Picture and sound. I have always been with with Toshiba and they have never let me down. Brilliant!

I owned a 40" Toshiba which developed a fault out of warranty, Called toshiba who immediately told me it was a known fault and gave me all details required to get comet to exchange it. Comet picked up the damaged one when they delivered this one as a replacement.

I had been a bit unsure when we chose it, but after Toshibas service, I wasn't going to go to another brand.

As soon as I hooked it up, I was stunned at the improvement over the previous unit (which I had been very happy with).
Sky HD looks razor sharp, and I've convinced a few people about HD off the back of the difference this makes.

The media player is handy and it has a good number of connections etc

Would definitely recommend.

The greatest tv i've ever had.

Picture perfect. Digital great also.

Sound perfect.

Loads of ports.

I can't fault with this tv. Thanks: amazon.

very easy to use. picture is perfect. volume is very good. all you need in one TV and more...would recommend to any custmor.

Easy set up and it has all the connections that I require. 2 x scarts, audio connectors and a slot for the memory card.
The picture is good and there are adjustments that one can make to get the best but I still find that distance views are not as clear as I would like hence I have only rated it as 4 star.

Ignore any other reviews on the internet available for this tv. It is a brilliant tv, image quality second to none, easy set up, best picture quality especially in HD.

This was our first large screen LCD HDTV. After weeks of deliberation and researching it seemed this was the best choice in our price range. I have to say we're delighted with it overall. To be honest any decent LCD was going to be an improvement over our old set but this really has impressed us. The picture is great and allows for plenty of fine tuning. HD programmes are startling in their detail and clarity and many standard programmes look exceptional too. Gaming is a big improvement. The only slight criticism is the audio. Being used to a surround sound system it just doesn't carry enough weight and disappointingly our old system won't hook up with the TV. So an upgrade to system with an optical digital audio connection is something we weren't expecting. Having said that I can't fault the Toshiba, it's a great piece of kit and I would certainly buy another. If you're undecided between this and other sets in this price range my advice is go for this one, I don't think you'll regret it.

Excellent value for money.

Next day delivery.

Set up within 10 minutes

Very happy with purchase

Advantages: Great sound and picture quality

Disadvantages: Need a large room to take it ,or you could end up feeling like a lilliputian

This Television is absolutely fantastic.The Picture and Sound quality are unsurpassed ,it gives you a true cinematic viewing experience,This particular TV comes with digital free view ( not something I use,but it's good to know it's there) It Looks extremely stylish with its sleek black picture frame and swivel base .Has an automatic setup function that starts as soon as you plug it in to the mains,using this feature set up is almost instant,although you have the option in the digital menu to set it up with your own preferred settings.The Toshiba name lights up when the Television is on and stays on even when the TV is left on stand by.Comes with a remote control that has a myriad of buttons which will no doubt keep a lot of men happy My Husband particularly( I haven't had control of a remote in 15 years).

Advantages:

Huge screen which will keep even the most avid of film goers a truly cinematic viewing experience.Free view built in and HD ready, so no need to upgrade when the digital switchover comes into effect.Quality sound and at an affordable price I purchased mine for £550.00.

Disadvantages:

Very big and has to sit on a TV cabinet that has at least a 70 Inch base,to ensure an even weight distribution (to buy one made specifically for this TV will set you back around £150.00)Or alternatively can be wall mounted,although this is something I personally wouldn't advise.

Summary:

Great picture Quality ,Fantastic sound quality.Easy to install using the remote control to setup the programming,Good Idea if you're going to buy one to search round for the best price as there are a lot of bargains available at the moment.I would recommend this Television to everyone that really enjoys cinema or television programming.

Summary: Fantastic Product Highly recommended to Anyone that enjoys watching Television Or Films

i have owned toshiba products for many years,this being the latest.once again the product is very good.it would not connect with my old dvd recorder,so i contacted toshiba,what a waste of time.the people were inexperienced, and could not help me. after 8 calls to them, i asked to speak to someone with more technical knowledge, they said someone would call back,they never did. i have purchased a new dvd recorder which works fine, but because of the after sales experience with toshiba,i would never buy another toshiba product.i have given the tv 4 stars, aftersales nil.
