TOSHIBA 42RV535U LCD
I bought this TV from Amazon.com. The delivery company was great.
I got this TV about six months ago and it has been performing great since I installed it.
Since I purchased the Toshiba, I bought a Samsung 120Hz for another room. The Samsung certainly has a superior picture, but not for twice the price. If you're not hung-up on 120Hz, I think this is an equal. I think I like the user controls on the Toshiba better than the Samsung.
I dont't think you can go wrong with this TV...

I bought this tv from a retailer. 14 months later, the tv would not return to ready after a SHORT power outage. The yellow standby light just blinked three times over and over. The manual said this was normal and when it was ready to start it would go to a green light. No it wouldn't. Manual and Toshiba site said to hold the power button on the cabinet in for five seconds and it would reset it. This worked...twice. The Toshiba site said unplug it for an hour. This worked...once. Now at 18 months, a short power outage from a summer storm knocked it back to the yellow lights. After four days, it is still blinking yellow. I tried every trick I could find short of putting socks and shoes on it. I found this is a common problem with this model. The store will evaluate the problem for $189. The repair to the board that has gone south is $600 parts and labor. Again, I am not the only victim of this shoddy equipment. Toshiba basically told me they weren't concerned with it since it's out of warranty. So, research the model on the net and see for youself. If you have one of these, be scanning the ads for a new tv soon, it will fail. Toshiba says they won't order a recall since the model has been replaced with this new one you're looking at now. The new one has the same boards. $1300 dollars for 18 months service.

I'm the type of person who does research before I make a large purchase; I go to a store and see products in person then I get on the Internet and read the reviews. That is why I am so happy with my new REGZA TV. The color is beautiful and, even though I don't have an HD receiver, the picture is very clear. It is also user friendly.

I buy and sell tv's part time outside my day job. So over the last 10 years I have seen a large number of good and bad models. First I rate the following brands as my top 5 starting with the best at the top. Samsung, Hitachi, Soney, Toshibia, JVC. Now JVC can take a big jump to the top here and there with some of there price deals. Anyway I purchased the Toshibia. For the money, the features and the quality you can not go wrong. Did you know 2/3 service calls for lcd tv's are for Visio. Be aware also that 2/3 service calls for lcd tv's in ANY brand are for power related issues. This happens to any tv of any brand, so a review that says the power went out after x ammount of time is simply not a fair review. In fact to since I repair Tv's as well I can tell you that Power fluctuations such as "Browning effect" will ruin any tv no matter what brand you stick in your home. Anyway this TV model is one of the best out there. 120hz, great picture and fab HD. Did you know that Toshibia TV's upconvert regular analog signal? This is one of the few tvs that attempt to do this all the time. Most DVD HD or Blue ray players will do this , but this tv does that on your cable signal. To be fair almost all hd tvs will do 1080i signal. This is a great buy

This TV has exceeded my expectations. The picture is bright and clear. I have not noticed any motion blur problems and true 1080p input looks fantastic on the set. The most amazing thing however is how very good dish satellite programming, at standard 480i resolution, looks on the set. There is no pixilation or snow at all. The quality is as good as a normat tube set.
