Summary: A Great picture....
Review: ... overall the TV picture is very good, although i'm limited by my sub-par DVD player, cable company, VCR etc. i have yet to try the component inputs though, should be a great picture provided i get the image to display without the bowing. wish they had more control over the picture itself. the sound leveling stuff they have is a joke though, have to adjust the volume between commercials and program. ...

Summary: "Beats Sony"
Review: Compared this Toshiba with sony wega and toshibas wide screen. For the money, it is a much better deal than the sony, and until wide screen becomes more available for cable, the 36 inch is the way to go. The picture on a progessive scan DVD is AWSEOME. Plenty of video hookups makes pairing with most all video/audio combos a breeze. The picture with video cable is near flawless. The only worry was when Amazon delivered the set, the initial picture was a bit blurry at the bottom of the screen, but I attribute to condensation on components as it was cold when it was delivered. After the set warmed up for a couple of hours, the picture cleared, and has been perfect ever since. Have not experienced any of the quirks I have read about in this site. I love this set, and fully recommend this to anyone looking for the best big direct tube going. LOVE MY SET.

Summary: Overall, a nice TV.
Review: Have had this set for 4 months and have been very pleased with its performance. Was disappointed by the ommission of two small things: not enough memory to label each channel on the on screen display, and the clock must be reset if the power is lost even for 1/2 a second. Read a another negative review here...have had no such problems with mine.

Summary: Not what I expected...
Review: I initially was excited buying this product. It has component inputs and supports 480p and 1080i, so the picture should be great from an HD source. However as soon as I plugged it in, I started noticing problems.First, just like the other reviewer for this television, when i play DVD movies, it bows in the middle of the image. Very strange, and yes very annoying. I tried international DVD's and American DVD's and same thing. The picture was very good, but NOT GREAT. The whole reason you want to go to HD is for the superiour picture, and I just didn't get that "wow" effect. Second, every twenty minutes or so the screen goes blank and then comes back after a couple of seconds. Again, very strange. This happens when watching TV, DVD's or playing video games. I have called Toshiba phone support and they just said that they haven't heard of these problems, and to return the product. Well, reading the other reviewer from Texas, they are going to hear more of these problems. I am going to return this TV and most likely also go with the Sony Wega XBR. Its much more expensive, but at least I know it wont have these problems. I have been a loyal Toshiba customer for several years, I love there products. This is the first television I bought from them however, and I am dissappointed. I wanted this to be so much more.

Summary: Has Problems
Review: I was initially very impressed by the image quality. However, as time went on, I first noticed the problem where the image would get distored at the bottom part of the screen. When the Toshiba approved repair technician looked at it, he replace an integrated circuit card. However, after he did that, characters are not getting displayed properly. They look fuzzy (as though you are not wearing your prescription eye glasses). The color and picture quality are excellent. The TV is very heavy and thereore I strongly urge you to buy the in-home service warranty. Trust me you will need this. Overall, I think that I good have bought a better TV.

Summary: Not as amazing as we thought it would be.
Review: My first mistake with this one was assuming that a price-tag of [price] meant the unit would be good to go after the initial set-up. Never assume...
The picture quality varies considerably from channel-to- channel (even with digital cable)The colors fluctuate wildly as well. We have to re-set the colors and brightness levels each time the channel is changed. DVD widescreen playback is another issue! (same as above) PLUS the DVD picture bows in slightly (almost 1/4" overall at the center of the bow) at the top and bottom of the display ,which is VERY ANNOYING!Its not due to the DVD Player, as any widescreen presentation, as well as any channel-bar type images(like on cable-guide or the news-channels scroll bars) bow as well!Im planning on returning this item to the place I purchased it, and exchanging for the Sony Wega!

Summary: Fantasic picture with some work
Review: This is great TV, but only after I worked to find how to adjust the picture in diagnostics mode. In that mode I was able to fix all of the picture issues (bowing, centering, ect.) If you are not careful the adjustments can damage the TV. Get proffesional help if you are worried.

Summary: Great TV. Diagnostic mode? How ?
Review: This is one great TV I love it. The picture looks great as well especially with component cables and a progressive scan DVD player. This does in fact have bowing issues. I have contacted Toshiba about it and they simply state that it does not occur how's that for customer service? Any who I love this TV. Someone mentioned a diagnostic's mode? How can I use that feature? I want to fix the bowing issues as well because it does get very anoying.
