5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT VALUE..., October 13, 2009

So I helped my friend shop for a 37 inch tv for her living room and steered her toward the Toshiba, since I have the 32 inch version. It's got good blacks, better than everage. Excellent whites, as most LCD'S have. Handles motion very well despite not having 120 refresh rate. Does a good job with 3:2 pulldown and 24fps, although you have to turn that feature on, which is the cinema mode turned to film. Viewing angle isn't too great, but then again no lcd is. Once you get 14 degrees off-axis you lose 50% of the picture's contrast. Reflections aren't too bad with this Toshiba. Color accuracy isn't too bad but there is a green push which picture menu allows you to correct. The audio is also very very good, except you get a little vibration with certain dialog with the bass turned all the way up. The remote is excellent and is very user friendly. The menu system is very simple and easy to navigate. Overall, this is a great value. Sure you will get a better tv with either the Samsung or the Sony, but you will pay more. It does outperform the LG,Sharp, and the Panny in most areas. At the price you can grab this for it's hard to turn down. Here are calibrated settings for this tv.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic TV for loft, December 19, 2009

The quality of this TV has exceeded our expectations. Picture and sound are fantastic! We originally purchased this TV exclusively for gaming in our loft. We are so pleased with it that we are now actually finding ourselves in there for movies and football. There are so many hookups in the back that we are able to leave the game box, DVD player and satellite box all hooked up at the same time - so no annoying changing out boxes depending on the activity. The 37" is a perfect size for a smaller room like a loft, we find it is substantial enough without completely overwhelming the space.

I am happy with the TV. Got it for the bedroom & is installed on wall using Peerless PA740 articulating wall mount. The picture quality, after some fine tuning is very good. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rank it at a "7" when compared to my 50" Panny plasma that would rate at a "9".

The TV was delivered on time but the outer box had a 4" hole with the popcorn packing visible. Luckily the TV was double boxed & the original inner box was not damaged. I made sure of this before signing off on the delivery confirmation.
