5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME!!!!, September 28, 2007

By	C. Hurley "rockit2k" (Independence, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This TV is my first HDTV (or any tv) purchase ever. I love it. The ClearFrame feature keeps the screen from blurring while watching massive battle sequences or anything with a lot of motion and the picture is so sharp it almost hurts to look at. That is not a bad thing :). Well worth the money easy to hook up and get ready to go. I just purchased a PS3 a few weeks before I purchased the TV and I have to say the difference is almost completely unbelieveable. The games went from being kind of dull to being a few pixels away from absolutely lifelike. Blew my mind. If you're considering buying an LCD widescreen this is the ONLY way to go. Two vigorous thumbs up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable TV, November 28, 2007

By	F. Wallace (Alabama) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this TV a week ago and the picture is superb -- crisp and bright with great blacks! The 120Hz screen eliminates the problems with choppiness when fast action is on the screen.

The best feature on this TV is the audio pass-through. I do not own an audio/video receiver with HDMI so this feature has saved me some serious money.

Instead of plugging all of my outputs (video & audio) from my DVD player/Games consoles/Cable Box plug into my audio/video receiver, I use the TV inputs. I then run the optical cable from the TV to the receiver and ALL sound (analog & digital) now gets played through my home theater receiver instead of the 2 TV speakers. This works especially well with my HDMI cable box and Game consoles using component cables.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Picture, mediocre sound, excellent price , October 12, 2007

By	R. Elliott (OHIO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Purchased this telly a few weeks, I may be a little biased Toshiba reviewer, as I am a previous HDTV Toshiba owner (1st gen 30in HDTV). I was satisfied with my last purchase from TOSHIBA 2 years ago. I am satisfied now, after much research I finally deceided to go with my gut and purchase this LCD. Out of the box, the TV works well, so for the novice HDTV buyer should have no problems. The manual is detailed and the remote control is nicely designed. I don't use it but I may in the future because I plan to use the RF conection to control my cable box through the TV while it is in a different room. I love the idea of the TV like a picture frame, (no cable, no boxes, a beautiful crisp picture to feast your eyes on while enjoying the latest episode of NBC's THE OFFICE). One thing that I would like to address is the sound. I have adjusted the sound and tried different hook ups from the cable box, and to no advail the sound is just not that great. I am going to hook up a sound bar or maybe a couple extra speakers. Don't get me wrong but the sound does leave a little be desired. You can hear it and it does get the job done. But if you are catching the latest action movie. It doesn't rumble and tumble, if you want bass you will have to invest in a sound system (which most do anyway). The TV is priced right. And If you do buy this one, the price leaves some money in your pocket to put towards that awesome BOSE system anyways. So for me I think its a win-win. I am impressed with Toshiba products and now I'm a buyer for life. As for the customer service, they problem have bad customer service because they don't need it, If you buy SAMSUNG, TOSHIBA, OR SONY you aren't going to have to call customer service anyway. But there are some picky people out there and nothing is ever good enough. Alright enough of my rambling go out there and buy yourself a TOSHIBA!!!!!!!!
