I love this TV! I have this in my bedroom, as I spent most if my day bedridden. This is a great product for gaming, movies and general tv watching. The only problem I am having is that the remote is very sensitive to where it is aimed in order to change channels or input mode. After changing the batteries several times, I have not found a way to fix this situation.

I bought this set because it happened to be on clearance sale and was a floor model - so I paid less for this set than a similar sized 60 Hz Dynex (Best Buy's budget line) set. The hi-def picture quality is superb with excellent color and sharpness - I think the picture is equal to the lower priced LED sets. I use it to watch TV and DVD movies - the 120 Hz is particularly good when watching sports. The sound is okay and probably not as good as pricier sets. The TV is fixed to the base and does not swivel (which some sets do). Pretty light and easy to move.
What's great about it: Picture quality, price (but i bought a clearance set)

This television has an excellent picture. It is a 120 MHZ television. I have had 3 other Toshiba LCD HD televisions ( 32, 37, 40, and 47 inch models ) and the picture on this one is better. All of the television have had good picture quality and Ihave no compliants other than the remotes on any of them.
Toshiba mades a good television. I have two of their new Blu-ray players and they are both great, too!
What's great about it: Great picture.
What's not so great: Remote is slow to react as is most all Toshiba remotes

I usually wait before I write a review. I want to make sure that I write something of an accuracy for the product and my opinion. The pictures is amazing. Like a previous person had said, it looks like you are peering in a window or even being there. I did not experience any problems in the sound.
The TV is a little heavy, and may need two people to lift it. Take that into consideration when you buy a wall mount. Having previously owning a Toshiba laptop, I was not surprised at the quality and workmanship placed into this product. This is one product that had been a great purchase with no regrets what so ever.

I was especially concerned about the sound quality because my older projection TV required the purchase of a separate 6 speaker system to understand speech. No such problem here even thou the TV is in an amour. This is only my second Toshiba product but the first, a laptop has been flawless for 4 1/2 years.

Been looking for several months to get a bigger tv for my sunroom.This replaces a panasonic 32" LCD which,is now in our bedroom.I, was only looking at 37"LCD sizes in several makes .Then started to go alittle bigger since there wasn,t much difference in size and weight.I also have a plasma42" Panasonic in our living room too.Didn,t think I, would be able to to use another plasma in a sunroom .The Toshiba Regza fills the bill picture is good and just adjusts for the lighting in room.I,have it connected to Directv hd box had no problem getting my Dirctv remote to match with the tv .The sound really dosen,t matter to me since I have it run thru a surround system.Bought this 2 weeks ago in store out of box great price.
What's great about it: Overall features w/1080P&120hz
What's not so great: So far none

Researched sets in Consumer Report before buying this model. Their rating {quite good} was right on. The only issue they raised was the sound, but I run mine through a theatre A/V system so it doesn't matter. Got it just in time for the Olympics, which looked very good on this set.

I bought this in Feb 2010 just after the super bowl for $699. It's a nice looking TV and just the right size for my place. Also its the least expensive 120Hz I could find at the time anyplace, and I like to wach sports so that was important.
I was impressed right away with the picture. The Winter Olympics in HD look amazing. Bluray looks so clear that you feel like you are looking through a window into the film and could climb right through the screen into the action.
The TV is very easy to set up. I was watching TV within about 15 minutes of opening the box. The instructions are easy to understand and seem complete. I also really like the design of the back connection panel. Everything is labled and easy to figure out just by using common sense.
The only thing I was not really excited about this TV is the sound. A lot of people say that sound from a flat panel TV is just avearge, and that is true with this TV too. I am not saying the sound is bad, it's actually pretty clear, what is missing is the power and range of sound that you can only get from a surround system or at least a sound bar.
What's great about it: Excellent picture and well designed connection panel.
What's not so great: The sound is avarage.

Setting this TV up was easy, People have said something about the Auto-Tuning taking too long...what's the problem with letting it do Auto Tuning and just walking away for a bit. Auto Tune takes a bit, yes, but after it's done it's done. This TV pulls in stations I didn't think I had. This TV is replacing an old Toshiba CRT 32" that has served me pretty well til the Vertical went out. This TV's remote controls the PS3 via Regza link which is nice if the kids lose the PS3 controller and you just wanna pop a movie up. During scenes of lots of movement, the TV keeps up just fine. Very clear, very concise and overall a very good buy. After reading the reviews of this TV here and on newegg and other places, I felt this was the perfect size TV and i've always been happy with Toshiba.
What's great about it: Easy Set up, Controls the PS3, Streamed HD movies look great
What's not so great: Can't think of a single Con

Great TV. Love everything about it, except it's missing one simple feature which is the 3.5mm audio output for PC speakers. I highly recommend this TV for any type of use, from simple television to blu-ray and Xbox 360 or PS3 gaming.
What's great about it: Crisp, clean, clear 1080p resolution. Easy to use and doesn't look ugly.
What's not so great: No 3.5mm audio output jack.

I purchased this TV in December of 2009 on sale. It only cost me $500, normally $900! I've always been a big Toshiba fan going back to CRT TVs. This is my second Toshiba LCD HDTV, the first being a 32" 720p, and I've been very happy with both of them. This TV has a great pictue, and the Resolution+ feature is great for improving the quality non-HD programming as well as boosting HD. It really makes by Blu-ray's pop! There are also a lot of other picture adjustments and features as well like Dynamic Contrast and Noise Reduction. I have it paired with both the Toshiba XDE600 Upconvert DVD player and the Toshiba BDX2000 Blu-ray player and the REGZA link feature on both is great! I can control everything with just the TV remote. The tv also features the "Deep Lagoon" design, which features hidden speakers as well as a subtle touch of silver color at the bottom of the frame. It isn't a huge deal, but it does set it apart from the standard flat-panel look. My only complaint would have to be with the sound quality. It isn't horrible, but it is by no means great. There are several tweaks you can make to the bass and treble to get a decent sound, but I would definately suggest hooking it up to a sound system. Overall this is a great set, I would definately recommend it to anyone looking for a great affordable HDTV!
What's great about it: great picture, lots of connections, REGZA link, HD tuner
What's not so great: sound isn't the greatest

I was looking for a TV that would fit in my entertainment center that would not cost a arm and a leg,my entertainment center is designed for a 36" SD TV it is 39" wide and this TV fit perfect and I saved $300-$600 and I don't have to trash my OAK entertainment center.
The pitcher is great the sound is good with the 3 HDMI ports I hooked up my PS3,my Sat Dish,and my Blu-Ray + there are ports for a Wii,not to mention my desk to computer, I've had it for 2 weeks now and I am verry happy with this TV.
What's great about it: Price was great
What's not so great: Sound could be a bit better

I don't have much experience with LCD or plasma telvisions, but I've always been pleased with Toshiba products. I did read the pros and cons of buying an LCD, but this particular model has a fully adjustable range of color and image enhancements to compensate for the short-comings that LCDs tend to have image-wise. The audio is good and It has a good bass response, but it can buzz a little in the lower range, especially if you have a dynamically active (sci-fi movies, for example) Blu-Ray DVD being played.
Nice touches include the Regza feature which allows you to control and integrate other Toshiba components such as their Blu-Ray players via an HDMI cable from a single remote control. The remote can be programmed to operate other components (my older Toshiba VCR is an example) as well. My only complaint on using the Regza feature is that you have to go through a couple layers of menus to turn the Blu-Ray player on or off, but every other feature (play, stop, eject, etc.) is instantly available from the remote otherwise. The television adjusts its brightness based on the lighting in a room which is another nice feature.
With that said, I'm quite pleased with my purchase and not at all disapointed. I think I made a good first choice. Toshiba makes very good products and this is no different.
What's great about it: Comes on almost instantly. Integrates with other Toshiba components. One remote control is needed.
What's not so great: Most media is still in a 4:3 format. Television is 16:9. Can adjust to 4:3 so images aren't stretched wide.

Great pricefor the 1080P, 120Hz, 40" size compared to the other name brands. TV is in our Great Room which is bright- 4 large windows and Screen has no glare.
Screen: Colors are brilliant, clarity is crystal, Hi Def channels are fanatastic. TV offers nice features for non HD channels if there is a need to watch them.
Set up: simple, menu is easy to follow for quick adjustments.
Sound: Very Good for small speakers, voices are clear which is important to me, plenty of volume-power. Never expected the sound to be a like what I get from our surround system
Remote: No issues here either, lots of buttons but it does glow in dark and key buttons are are placed well.
Features: Plenty that cover sound, screen size, picture-movie/PC/Gaming, channles, etc..3 HDMI ports, usb, PC, Game, digital audio, etc.. meets all my needs.
Service Plan; Key item. I Purchased the 4 yr service plan due to a recent bad experience with sony XBR 52" that lasted 13 months, screen went bad--Sony( from india) quoted me $5200 to fix my $2800 TV, yes they said buy a new TV. Last time I buy any sony products or advise anyone to do so. The Sony was not purchased from Best Buy
Final: Best Buy sales techs indicated and explained well the key of 120hz for sports so after reviewing the various 120 hz models, the best buy clearly was the toshiba based on my comparison of the picture on similar size brands at the store and wanting 1080P, 120hz, 3 HDMI (min) and 40" class. I purchased an open box item, which lowered the price to $674 then purchased the 4 yr service plan for full repair or replacement and final cost was still below the competition price w/o a service plan.
Very happy knowing I will get minimum 4 years from this TV or an equivalent. Extremely satified with purchasing from Best Buy in Collegeville Pa.-great sales staff.
What's great about it: Excellent Picture & features and easy set up
What's not so great: Nothing to this point
