Easy to set up. Lots of Options. The HD picture is fantastic. The remote has a lot of options to control other units. 27" was very important to me because of the cabinet I was putting the TV in. This Toshiba was about the only LCD TV with 27" an could fit because the speakers were at the bottom rather than the sides. Regarding the speakers, bass sounds can easily override these speakers.

I purchased one of these because of the great discount at the time. I come to find out a week later when the cable card was installed that the TV didn't work with the card. It couldn't pick up the channels it was suppose to. The cable company told me they've had numerous problems with Toshiba's Cable card TVs. The problem is bugs in the TV software. I called Toshiba and they informed me that the software on the TV was many versions old and needed to be updated. They of course will do this for free, but in the meantime, I can't access any high-def content. Eventually this will get resolved with only inconvenience to me, but before you buy one of these, you should ask what revision the software is at and if it's the latest. My guess is that the salesman will not have a clue. But if they repair them, the repair department should know. If it isn't the latest, ask to have it updated BEFORE you get it home. This goes for ALL cable card capable Toshiba TVs. Toshiba should have recalled all of these and updated them all instead of leaving these duds out there for us to "discover". It leaves a very bad taste in my mouth and I probably wouldn't buy another Toshiba because you just shouldn't have to go through the hassle.
