Great picture with 2 major problems:
The remote control for my cable box won’t work for the first 10 minutes after the set is turned on. [cable box is comcast] (Others have had same feedback) It may not sound like a big deal but having to turn your TV on and off every time you want to change channels gets annoying really quick.
The HDMI inputs have trouble detecting video output from my cable box and DVD when the TV is first turned on. In order to get a picture I have to hit the “input” button 40-50 times until finally the set decides to start displaying video. Said differently, every time I turn on my TV I need to basically “jump start” it so I can get a picture. (As I understand this is a software “handshaking” issue)
Phone support was no help. I’ve spent hours on the internet and found nothing to solve either problem. There is no firmware fix for this so I have a tec coming out to my house to try and resolve.
If I had to do it over again I’d go with a better brand that has already invested the time in working out the bugs in their software.

The picture quality is pretty good.
The sound is acceptable without any sound system.
But it has a plastic/electronic smell that I am always a little worried some circuits got shorted and burning. First I thought it was because of the new-set smell thing. But after a month, the smell is still there. So I am not sure.

I wouldn’t buy again and would return if possible. TV has average pic quality for cost. While it does have the ability to maintain volume during commercials, every few hours the sound becomes distorted and you have to change inputs back and forth to resolve. Toshiba does not have a fix and this is NOT model specific. If you don’t use HDMI, this will not be an issue and perhaps worth consideration.

I studied LCD TVs for weeks before I made this purchase. I relied TOO MUCH on a very popular consumer website (that’s also a magazine,hint)
that rated it in their best pick category. Using cost and quality as parameters. The picture is great…BUT I thought I
had a lemon because every so often the TV would make this horrible reverberation/echoing, that would last 10-15 minutes.
I could stop the noise if I changed the channel, but I just spent $1000 on it!! I went online and it turns out this is very common with
this model. I’m surprised Toshiba has not recalled them. I eventually exchanged mine for another brand.

This is the 2nd Toshiba Regza that I have bought. I bought a smaller screen size about in 2008, and this one in December 2009. Prior to buying the 1st one, I did a lot of reasearch (tip: I bought a 1 month subscription to [..] for $5.95) and this brand/model received the best ratings for the price range.
I rated ease of use 4 stars only because initial setup required a bit of time and effort (plugging in wires correctly, programming remotes), but I think that’s true of initial setup of any home entertainment system. It really had little to do with this particular TV.
I gave picture quality 4 stars because picuture quality is affected quite a bit by glare from the nearby windows during the day. Again, that might be true of any LCD TV (tip: [...] also has guides which describe the different types of TVs for different room conditions).
Overall, I am very happy with both of my Regzas.
