5 out of 5 stars Great set!   August 22, 2008

It's a great set with a super picture. Connected to my Sony Blu-Ray BDP-S350 over HDMI, it's truly lifelike. Now that it's under $1000, it's really hard to beat. Off-angle viewing is great all around my living room.


5 out of 5 stars Best 42" 1080p In price range   August 14, 2008

The Toshiba 42RV530U 42" LCD is my second HD TV. It replaced a four year old Panasonic 37" Plasma that had just gotten too old and was only 720p. Making the upgrade to this beautiful TV was amazing! The picture is clear, sharp, and mostly accurately colored. 4 HDMI inputs is very useful since I have a DVD player, stereo system, and game console that all need an HDMI jack. The bezel on this TV is very narrow, giving the TV a sleek, modern look that is accentuated by the piano, gloss-black finish. The controls are easy to use, and the menu makes a lot of sense when navigating. One feature that I especially like is the ability to change input without hitting a button repeatedly. You can change input by selecting the input menu, and then scrolling through the options. This can be done with two operations in about a second. Another feature I really like is the clarity of connection when plugging my laptop into the TV and using it as a monitor at full 1080p resolution (I use a DVI-HDMI cable). The picture is clear, sharp, and allows me to play games with zero lag.
If you're on a budget and don't care about 120hz processing, you cannot go wrong with this TV!

My one quibble with this TV is that it takes a little while to start up. Maybe 5-6 second. Not really a complaint, but worth mentioning.

And to those of you knocking the sound, you cannot expect a flat panel TV to have excellent sound. Spend the $300 for a stereo system (even less for a 2.1 system). No flat panel has good sound quality, I don't care how much you pay.

I have been looking at LCDs & Plasmas for over a year now. I purchased the 42RV530U due to it's excellent picture. I think many stores don't set the picture settings appropriately or purposefully set-up the higher priced models to look better than the competition. Google the optimal settings for this TV and then see if the store will let you change the settings. I was amazed. This TV is awesome. SD looks great. Got mine at Sears w/ 0% financing and a price match from a Circuit City ad. User reviews for this model are very high...not sure where the CNET folks get their opinions.


4 out of 5 stars Service Excellent, Product Even Better!   July 27, 2008
Timothy L. Wagner (Chicago, IL USA)
We ordered this television after researching. 42" HD LCD's for about two months. When it arrived and we unboxed it, we found it had been damaged during shipment. Amazon arranged for a pick up return and replacement which came within 4 days! No questions, no hassles, it was all handled with a smoothness of service I wished I'd see from other online retailers!
The TV itself is great. Color is good with no bleeding. We mounted this high on a wall, with the set tilted down to the viewer. Mounting the TV on the wall was a breeze, set up was very intuitive, and we were watching HD programs within 1/2 hour of unboxing. I am not a big fan of Toshiba's, preferring LG's,Samsungs, or Sony's, but this set is an exception. The HDMI inputs make it a very attractive purchase.

I've had this Toshiba set for a couple months now and am very, very happy with it. The HD picture is bright and clear -- even in our sunny living room. Standard-def content also looks very good, which is key since our cable company has next to no HD channels and we can't get satellite.

Would definitely recommend this set to others -- it's also a great bargain price-wise.
