I bought this TV in 2008. It was good until it started to have issues with the picture. The issue is: Occasionally, I'll turn the TV on, only the sound comes on and not the picture. This doesn't happen every time but enough for me to consider it a problem that could only get worse. I'm now trying to figure out how to return it and find a replacement. Hopefully I can... I would think it's under warranty.

This seems to be a nice set at first, however after 3 months it started having power problems. now it turns itself off and on 4 times a night, and im sure one day it will not work at all. Toshiba wont fix it since i received it as a gift with no receipt, and on top of that it had been purchased at circuit city which is out of business. Dont wast your money

This television is a great buy for the money. I'm not an expert on electronics so I cannot go into much detail. The television was shipped promptly and was received in perfect condition. The seller was ABT Electronics.

The picture on this 720p is awesome.. the sound is descent as well. Have it in the bedroom w a dvr and absolutely love it. I ended up paying 497 for it and am exstatic. You can also use it as a monitor for a pc if you want one that large. great buy

This TV was extremely easy to assemble (just a few screws to position and tighten). I turned it on and was so excited since the picture was beautiful. However,. I only have an antennae--no cable or satellite. I pressed the Channel Guide and...it gave me a "Not Available" message. Not Available?? Surely, I thought I must not be pressing the right button or, perhaps, have not set up the TV correctly. I mean, my Mitsubishi DLP has a Channel Guide using an antennae. Heck, even my old CRT TV had a Channel Guide when I added the converter box! But sadly, no, the Owner's Guide states "Displays the channel guide in the CABLE/SAT mode."
Yes, you can use Favorites, the Channel Browser, etc., but if you want to find out what is on a particular channel through an antennae and how long it is scheduled for, you have to go to that channel and press "Info". No clicking on a Channel Guide, finding a show you like and then clicking to get switched to that channel. Perhaps they did not know that large metropolitan areas would get between 40 and 50 digital channels over the air.
If I would have known this before I bought it, this would have been a deal breaker for me. Yes, you can fault me for not reading the Owner's manual more carefully, but who the heck would think a CRT TV with a converter box would have more funtionality then a digital TV!
Too bad I gave my CRT to my brother--yes I would prefer it to this TV! Thankfully, this is only a "second" TV for back up use. I guess I will have to print out program schedules from the internet every week and keep close at hand.
If I have have misunderstood something about this TV, and someone would like to tell me how to get the Channel Guide to work with an antennae, please blast away! I'd rather have someone think I am technologically ignorant than to spend this money and be this unhappy with a TV.
