Summary: Like the movies
Review: After I connected my Toshiba CZ27V51 27" to my stereo and to my Toshiba 2109 DVD player with monster cable (S-video), I watched The Negotiator... I felt like I was in a theatre. Tempted to stay up and watch some other DVD's, I went to sleep happy, I had to work the next morning. In short, this is a great buy at a very reasonable price. I've heard a lot of positive things about Toshiba, so I went with it and I'm glad I did. This model has sharp picture and the color quality is very lively. I particularly like the back-lit buttons on the remote. The only thing was that the batteries that Toshiba included were dead. Nonetheless, this Toshiba Color Television is an excellent buy.

Summary: The final analog TV I will ever buy (but a very good one)
Review: I chose this TV over the standard Sony 27" Trinitron because of all the nice extras: still frame PIP, S-Video input, larger, more powerful speakers, simulated surround sound (that actually works very well), a better universal remote, and perhaps most important, automatic closed-captioning when the mute is activated. Being a consumer of multiple media types (Internet, CD music, and television), the automatic closed captioning allows me to follow what's going on television, without interfering with my music and internet browsing experience. There's one minor drawback: this TV is really meant to be viewed straight-on. Unlike the Sony, which has a vertically flat screen, the Toshiba screen is not flat. When viewed at more than a 40 degree angle, there is a very slight blur at the corners (like older TV sets). But that shouldn't be applicable for most people who place their couches directly opposite of their televisions anyway. The Surround Sound was developed by a Massachusetts firm, by the way (Cambridge Soundworks, I think). And Toshiba sets are nortorious for longevity. I still have a 1985 13" flatscreen Blackstripe TV is perfect working condition. Highly recommended for busy people who appreciate big sound when they want it.

Summary: Excellent quality television
Review: I purchased this tv as a display model from a major electronics chain chiefly for the price. I was amazed at the picture as well as the expansion capabilities of this television. I am going to purchase a TOSHIBA SD3109 DVD PLAYER to make my home theatre experience complete.

Summary: COMPONENT VIDEO INPUTS!
Review: If you own a DVD player this TV is perfect for you. FORGET the S-Video hookups! Save that for your satellite! The real beauty of this set are the COMPONENT VIDEO hookups for your DVD. This option gives you superior quality video from your DVD when compared to the old S-Video plug!It is important to understand this. This is the only set in this size that I am aware of offering them. Leave the S-Video input to those poor saps who bought an inferior DVD without this option. Nuff said?

Summary: A Great buy for any movie lover.
Review: This Television has great picture when combined with a Toshiba 2109 DVD player. Make sure and buy some Monster RCA cables or Monster S-Video cables if you want to experience the same incredible picture that I am experiencing. To round out your purchase, pick up Pioneer HTV-1 Home Theatre System and you will truly be blown away.
