| I've had this set for over a month now and could not be more pleased. Video is sharp and color correct right out of the box. Audio is clear and a blessing for those who don't hear as well as they did in their 30s. Love the audio setting that keeps commercials from incresing in volume over the show you're watching. We have digital recording as part of our HD controler. Recording and play back couldn't be easier. Especially since ths new shows seem to have pitted by previos favorites against each other. Thank goodness for the ease of time shifting. If you have digital phone service our cable company will flash the telephone number of the cller on the screen if you get a call while watching the set. I have only had this television a week and so far so good. Like some other reviewers I was naive to how SDTV would look, not good, but that is a problem with all HDTVs. I would agree with another user who stated that if you aren't ready to or can't get HD channels I would probably hold off on this purchase. I would also suggest upgrading to an High Def DVD or Blu-Ray player. At a minimum you will definitely want get an upconverter for your SD DVDs or you will be pretty disappointed. I purchased the Toshiba A2 and the picture is awesome with HD DVDs and pretty darn good with my newer SD DVDs. Obviously I can't speak to Toshiba's customer service and I purchased an extended warranty so I probably wont have to deal with them if there is ever a problem. Clearly if you have unlimited funds and your are going to buy a 1080p there are better sets out there but this is definitely fine for your average viewer. Great picture, lots of ports in the back, vga computer connector not the best but works well with most computers, multiple built in presets to change the settings for various types of broadcasts (sports, movie, etc) |
