Great picture but ..., December 1, 2010
This review is from: Toshiba 40E200U 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Black Gloss) (Electronics)
I got it at a great price under $500. The picture quality is as good as units costing a lot more. It doesn't have 120hz refresh rate or LED backlight at this price point but I don't play a lot of video games; therefore, high refresh rate isn't a must and the advantanges of LED is not that significant enough (100,000 hrs. LED life-span vs. 15,000 hrs. for fluorescent light source) to justify higher cost. It is well-built and looks stylish. Full 1080p HD resolution - awesome!
My only beef with this model is that it does not have audio output for use with headphones - only the digital output, which is totally useless. Still, for what I paid and considering the picture quality, it's not a deal breaker.
Highly recommended!

Good Decision, October 13, 2010
This review is from: Toshiba 40E200U 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Black Gloss) (Electronics)
After much research, I decided to purchase this TV and am happy with my decision. I previously owned a Toshiba set (http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-26HF85-Widescreen-HD-Ready-Screen/dp/B000816XK2) that I was very happy with, but was looking for something with HDMI support to hook up my Apple TV. I took stock of what components needed to hook up to the set and with what types of connections (Wii with a component connection, iPhone/iPod with a composite connection, Apple TV with an HDMI connection, and a Blu-Ray player with another HDMI connection). I also had a space requirement that this set fit into perfectly, giving me the largest viewable area in the space I had available.
Once I turned the TV on with basic cable, I was not that impressed with the picture quality. After a few minutes and getting all the connections set, I found that HD content looked great, especially at 1080p coming from the Blu-Ray player.
I have resisted hooking the TV up to my old receiver (though it does have the inputs available to do so) and surround sound system to get a sense of the audio from the TV alone, and so far, so good.
For the price, this is a good set. I have only had it for a week or more, so cannot review the longer term performance, but at this point, I am quite satisfied.

Good value for decent TV, December 29, 2010
This review is from: Toshiba 40E200U 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Black Gloss) (Electronics)
This toshiba is a great TV for someone who has never owned an HDTV or just needs an extra TV. But if you compare this to Samsung and Sony, then this TV gets blown away. The remote feels cheap. The options on the TV are limited.
But the picture quality is fantastic. I use it to watch netflix from my ps3, play ps3 games, and watch TV sports. All look great.
The audio levels are fine, I'm not sure what the other reviewer is complaining about. I've had this TV for 2 months now and no problems so far.
Summary: if you are want a no frills HDTV that gives good picture quality, at a good price, this is for you. But if you want more, look elsewhere.
