Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Get a monster-sized direct view picture at a reasonable price with this Toshiba 36-inch TV. Superb picture quality comes from the FST Black invar SuperTUBE and digital comb filter. Front surround sound puts you in the middle of the action, while built-in picture-in-picture functionality allows you to watch two programs at the same time. Toshiba has also included ColorStream component video inputs, which deliver increased color resolution, purity, and fidelity. Some observers say that this technology brings more detail and realism than is possible with conventional S-video or composite video connections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Value and Performance!, March 22, 2000

This TV is extremely popular for all the right reasons. I own several TVs and was looking to upgrade to a large screen. I went around to many stores to compare the picture quality of several manufacturers. This model was equal or superior to all in the 35 inch or above category, except for HDTVs and WEGAs which cost thousands. I have digital cable and the picture on this Toshiba is even better than the set I replaced. My VCR was simple to hook up and, even though it is not new enough to take advantage of the S video or component video, the picture quality is superb. I can't wait to upgrade my VCR now and also purchase a DVD player to truly take advantage of all this TV has to offer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value, May 25, 2000

I have owned this TV for almost month now, and am still very proud of my purchase after viewing lots of tubes and projections in the showrooms. I currently have my DSS connected to the s-video input (RCA audio), my DVD to color stream (RCA audio), my VCR to RCAs, and local TV to coax, and my camcorder to the front panel RCAs - and can switch between them all with the touch of ONE button on the remote, no more messy cable swapping. The TV itself is well-designed, all though I found the on-screen menus a bit frustrating, but I never use them, just that magic one button on the remote. This TV is loaded with inputs/outputs that similarly priced models lack - look carefully. The picture quality is stunning, I ranted and raved about it out loud the first night I watched a DVD using the Color Stream inputs. I don't have a receiver, and the built-in audio suffices with a noticeable difference when switching between normal and surround modes. Its plenty loud. I think the 170lbs weight is a misprint, my neighbor and I moaned carrying it up 6 small steps. This TV is VERY heavy and not easy to carry (it wants to tip over). The remote is a poor design, I bought a cheap universal the very next day. I kept picking it up and trying to use it backwards, cuz of its awkward weighting and couldn't find a single button in the dark. For a quality picture with plenty of integration options, this is an EXCELLENT value. Despite its minor inadequacies, I give it my highest rating. And don't forget to buck up for a delivery/setup service.

Buyers of this set should be familiar with all of its outstanding features and how to use them in order to maximize its performance.Those willing to read about color temperature,black levels,and other picture settings offered on this set can expect a picture equal to other sets that list in the 1200-1800 dollar range.This sets theater mode has been written about in home theater magizines and described as one of the best calibrated in the industry,As a die hard audiophile-videophile,I can strongly recommend this set!At this price its one of the best bargins available...anywhere!
