5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent TV and price, November 23, 2008

This is my first LCD TV and I'm very happy with it. Spent a lot of time over the last month checking out various 40-47" LCD TVs and finally decided on the Toshiba REGZA 42RV535U because of its quality and price (total $912). Due to my experience with both Toshiba and Samsung I favored these brands but there's no shortage of attractive LCDs to choose from many companies. Samsung costs more and offered no competitive model or price to this Toshiba. I found the Toshiba XD-E500 upconversion DVD player online for $76, which produces an excellent picture on the 42RV535U. Add the $13 I spent for 3 HDMI 6' cables (online too) and I'm watching HDTV for a grand total Of $1001! The non-HD TV channels look good too (I'm on Time Warner cable) and in my small living room the sound (cranked up) has proven to be more than adequate. I have checked up on the Sony HT-CT100 Sound Bar Home Theater and may add it later. I have no Blu-Ray plans for present - will take some convincing and much price dropping for me to participate.

My wife and I physically set up the TV on its stand and placed it in position. If you know what you're doing, the electronic part of the setup should be brief but I took longer fumbling a bit over the cable box/TV accommodations. But all went well finally.

Let me add perhaps the most important thing. Once set up, I restarted the Marvin Gaye at Montreux DVD that I had been using to hook up the XD-E500 and let it rip. What a reward for all the effort of buying this TV - my TV watching will never be the same.

3.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware, January 1, 2009

This review is from: Toshiba REGZA 42RV535U 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV (Electronics)

Ok , so I bought this T.V. about six months ago and i couldn't be happier with it. The picture was crisp the sound was on point. I had no problems with it, until yesterday when it stopped working. Apparently the power supply died in it, so after doing some researched i learned that mine wasn't the only one this happened to. Thank god it was still under warranty and Toshiba is going to pay for parts and labor to fix it. But I'm kinda disappointed that it happened in a six month period with such an expensive T.V. I guess they just don't make things like they use to.

1) your kidding, now it is under $900 on Amazon, I bought it for $1200 at Worst Buy 6 months ago!! Yikes.

2) had tv for 6 months, light use, maybe an hour a day, a couple on weekends. Watching "Its a wonderful life" on X-mas eve, the TV just shuts off, no reason, it was just dead, nothing could be done.

3) called Toshiba customer service, got a TV person to come and pick it up pretty fast, but now a month later, it sits in the shop waiting for "parts."

This totally sucks, will never buy Toshiba again. Beautiful TV, it was perfect for us when working but it died, no reason, no abuse on our part, just died.

And who knows how long it will be gone? Very dissapointed with Toshiba, they need a recall of the power board inside or something. Sucks.
