Great TV for the money!

Received this for Christmas.My first LCD HDTV.Colors are clean and crisp.Screen is bright.Easy setup,right out of the box.Have not found anything to be negative about.Still going through the big manual.Thought I wanted a 32" but turns out the 26" is perfect. Not to large.It does not overpower the room.Really like that I don't get reflected light on the screen.Its a great gift!

Good picture and sound, decent value

I've had the Toshiba 26" TV for 3 weeks, using it with both over-the-air and DirecTV HD service with RGB cables. The sound is adequate, better than some other reviews might have indicated. Color is very bright, contrast ratio is good. My only disappointment is the unexpected "de-pixellation" (for lack of a real word) for signals received in 1080i resolution. At 720p, which is the designed resolution and the product used by ESPN HD among others, the picture is HD-sharp; at 1080i there is some small-detail blending not present in our other 32" direct view HDTV. I found the details in the manual readable and helpful.
For the price, and use as a second, lightweight HDTV or DVD screen, this Toshiba is a good value. If you're after super detail and speed, pay a lot more for a larger Samsung 120-Hz LCD.

Looks great. Sound is just OK.

This is my first HDTV (if you can believe that) but I looked around for several weeks before getting this. First of all, my laptop, DVD player, and VCR are all Toshiba and they've worked great. Also, you really can't beat the price. If you look for a sale, you could probably get this around 375-400 dollars. Those made by Samsung, Sharp, and Sony cost much more. If you have a medium sized livingroom, bedroom, or den this will probably fit your needs. Assembly and learning the features did not take me too long (about 1 and 1/2 hours). The picture looks great! If you have a movie buff or big sports fan in your family, then you may want something else. The sound on this is not that great. I have a 10+ year old Philips TV in my spare room and the sound is better on that one. But I'm pretty happy with this so far.

Great for LCD HDTV Newbies, but Audio is Lacking

If you're on a budget and this is your first hdtv, this is a decent choice. The picture is good (I found the Zeniths at the store to have the clarity and brightness I really wanted, but they were too large for my entertainment center and outside of my budget). If your eyes aren't accustomed to HDTVs, you may not see the difference between this and a better model for some time. A larger telly isn't meant to be watched up close, so consider your space when choosing a screen size.

I recommend reading the manual and adjusting settings for the best picture. And remember that you will only experience an HD (high definition) picture if the program is broadcast in HD. In layman's terms, that means you can't polish a turd, folks! :o) Don't expect a regular broadcast to look like the crisp, clean pictures you saw at Best Buy.

If your DVD player has an HDMI port, buy the HDMI cable and use it. I watched Beowulf with my son, and even he could tell the picture was incredible. (The DVD brand is a factor as well...we use a Sony).

For audio....you don't have to be an audiophile to realize Toshiba skimped on this aspect of their product. It's a shame, and it almost made the rating go down to a 3. AUDIOPHILES STAY AWAY. I read the reviews and bought it anyway, knowing that I will eventually complete my setup with surround (receiver, speakers, subwoofer). In my small place, I can have the volume maxed, and still need more. And I'm not trying to blow the roof off. When our heat kicks on or the washer/dryer are going, we have trouble hearing some things. And I read the manual, tweaked for a week, and it's not loud enough. I upgraded from an Apex! The Apex even had a louder, fuller sound that didn't need to be pushed near max! So it's a legitimate complaint. If you're in a super quiet home, or in a room the size of a closet, maybe the sound is more than enough. But for most busy homes (with other tvs, children, or home appliances), it will Not.

If you're not on a strict budget, or you can wait a few more paychecks, save for a Samsung or Sony (or even Toshiba's better models). If you don't know an Apex from a Coby and have a quiet living space, this will be fine.

Pretty good for the money

I purchased mine from best buy as I work at the store. I use it in my room so I can watch movies and stuff when my roommates are watching reality TV or something else stupid.

Either way,...

Pro's:
-Great sound considering the size of the speakers, I would compare this to Sony Tv's to be honest. Can not get as loud, but same quality.
-No glare at all. the matte finish diffuses all the light which is great.

Cons:
-Black level detail. In darker scenes/games you will lose much detail, but that is because of the matte finish. Its a trade-off for not having to deal with glare.
-No optical out, meaning if you have a cheap-o home theater in a box with only 1 optical input, you will be limited for surround sound.

The 5 star reasoning: The black level details are not up to par in my book. Maybe this is unfair because I sell TV's all day and see the best, but I think it could be better. Maybe not for the price though. Which is why I still gave it 5. I think the average user would never notice and would be very happy.

No problem with sound...loud enough at half volume for bedroom use and not "tinny" in the least. Picture wonderful...better than our Sony "tube" TV in the living room, that's for sure. Only being used with a DVD player right now and will be hooking up to cable in the next few weeks, so not sure about any tuner issues. All in all, nice for the price.

Just bought 3 of 'em

Got 3 of these for the kids rooms as I needed something that was a monitor and a TV and was wall mountable. GREAT picture, easy setup and nice remote. The sound could be better, but they're basically watching the Disney channel or playing online learning games so it's perfect. At 269.00 each it was hard to pass up.Might even buy a couple more. However be aware that the wall bracket is NOT included and runs about 60 bucks.

Great for kids.

Bought two for our kids for Christmas. Set up was extremely easy. They have very sharp picture quality. The T.V. is so nice that if they last 20 years it's all that they will need. The next step up from this one is a much larger one for a livingroom ( which they can buy when they get out of college ).

Great Buying experience

UPS and Amazon is a great team for holiday shoppers who are looking for speed, convenience and good deals. I ordered this TV late Sun night before Christmas and got it on a freezing rainy day next Tue., less than 48hr later. Superb timely service, quite a surprise!

The TV has great reception, with an old antenna no cable, we were able to receive very clear images. The screen size does need to be funneled a little, but no problem for us. Good sound effect, we bought this set for our in-law's kitchen, so the convenience of setting it up and the sound and image quality, would make her cooking experience dramatically different. Plus, instead of telling her that we are still waiting for the shipment and all stores sold out of the unit, we had it delivered in time for free and were able to try it out before presenting to her. Thank You Amazon!

wow! amazing picture, easy interface

simply an awesome tv, especially at this price. the picture is outstanding, especially with hdmi/digital fiber optic cables attached. but the thing that makes it super is the easy-to-operate user interface and easy connectivity. set up is simple and takes five minutes. menus aren't terribly complicated, and did i mention the great picture from HD TV and DVD? originally got the 26" model, then upgraded for just a few pennies more. slightly bigger form factor with the 32" but the profile is still slim.

Great TV for price but note the VESA mounting holes

Bought this tv Dec 22, 2008 and mounted it on a bedroom wall.The problem is the Vesa mounting hole is 200 X 400. Most mounts come with 100x100, 100X200 or 200X200.I bought a Peerless Mount PA740 for $65.00 from Amazon then I had to buy an additional adapter plate for $79.00. So make sure you buy the correct mount for this tv. Other than that the picture is superb.It comes with the latest HDMI v1.3 connections.I used a MONOPRICE HDMI v1.3 cable and I am amazed at the quality of the picture this cable produced. I paid only $5.35 for this cable. I have always used Monster cables but this cable is as good.I don't know if it's better but that's all I can afford at this time with the economy the way it is. The reason I did not give this set 5 stars is the VESA 200X400 information which they could have put on the box to make life easier.I had to wait an extra week to mount the tv.

Toshiba 32AV502U 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV

I just bought this TV yesterday from Best Buy, and normally I don't buy anything from those type stores or on an impulse without a lot of research first but the price was just too good to pass up. On top of it selling for 479, we got 10% off for taking an open box one that was just returned that day. It is in brand new condition and still has the warranty from toshiba for 1 year.

So far, so good. It's my first hdtv so it looks amazing to me even if it's not the top of the line. We hooked up our PCs (both mac and windows) already and played movies from them, which worked perfectly.

Everything about this TV seems easy and user friendly so far. At a couple of hundred less than the Samsung and Sony 32 inch models, I cannot complain!

Its like whoa....

This is awsome for anyone who is looking for an HDTV. Toshiba technology in it is amazing and you dont have to be tech savy to know just by looking at it you'll know. this TV has amazing color and great variety of modes for anyone, whether your into gaming,sports,anime and movies this TV will give you a great experience. The price of the TV is astonishing for the quality you get. Gaming on this Tv is amazing. Sports games come to Life with amazing colour and response. Anime on this tv is the best I've seen for a TV this size and price. SDTV is awsome but there real beauty is on Movies and Games. this TV is perfect for any gamer especially PS3 owners games like Prince of Persia, Fifa 09, Fallout 3 and Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm will take your breathe away. I Give 5stars because its a superb TV for any one looking to make a transition into HD or Digital cable and the price is mind blowing for a brand like Toshiba.

Great TV and a great buy

Purchased this TV about 4 weeks ago. Great picture and even better after a little tweaking, I have it hooked from my Dish 722 via HMDI cable with sharp picture and sound....I am going to connect it with a Panasonic sc-pt960 Home Theater system, so I'll comment further later on. I find this Toshiba TV to be a great product and IMOP feel it is as good as any Sony or Samsung model. I highly reccomend this TV for it's quality and value. Price can't be beat, Paid $679.00

What a steal!!!

This t.v. was purchased about a week ago and I love it. It fits perfectly in our living room. The tv has excellent 1080p resolution. That coupled with the deep blacks and quick response time makes my 360 look spectacular. The game mode does seem to improve my gaming experience as well. For the price, this tv really cannot be beat. I've seen other reviews discussing that the sound and 60 hz response time are downfalls...First of all, the 60 hz is perfectly fine unless you're a videophile. It's hardly noticeable to most - and as for the sound - it is RARE that tvs put out great sound. The sound is fine. It sounds like a tv. The only genuine negative mark I can find with it to this point is that the remote really needs to be pointed right at the sensor to function properly which is a little annoying. Still, this is a GREAT value. If you're on the fence, allow me to shove you over...get this set!!! Great job, Toshiba.

Great TV, so so sound

Great TV with excellent picture. I am happy overall with the purchase.

There are a couple things that stand out as being a bit less then expected. The sounds can be a bit flat and off with a slight echo. I don't really notice unless I am playing music through the TV. I plan on remedying this by getting a decent surround sound system.
The video also can be a bit tricky if you are switching types of input. I have an HD box from Time Warner that will switch outputs depending on the channel. Some are 480i, some are 720p, and some are 1080i. The TV can be slow to switch when it changes and sometimes it is faster and easier to turn the TV off and back on to get the signal synced with the source. I've noticed the same thing with the PC being connected to the TV when switching display modes. Both are connected to the HDMI inputs.

Overall the price and display make these just minor nuisances. I saw this same set in the local Best Buy and compared to similar sizes this set's picture is much sharper, clearer, and has better blacks. I'm glad I got it.
