Size, clarity, and funtionality.

No Front inputs and weak speakers

I was looking for a rear projection at first, but I realized the architecture of the living room didn't compliment one very well. So I began the search for a 36". Starting off with a Wega I got used to budgeting for a $1800 set. But I realized that was awful steep for a 36". Per Consumer Reports I looked at Toshiba, and for the price, I believe you get the most for you duckets!

I reasearched 36" TVs forever trying to find the perfect model. I enjoyed my Toshiba DVD player and figured the 36A60 would be a perfect companion. I have to say however I'm am not inmpressed. The 36A60 is actually a replacement of the 36A50 I bought originally and sent back because of annoying white lines in the center of the picture. Most noticable when there is a light background in the picture and there is vertical panning. The 36A60 I recieved to replace the 36A50 hasn't fixed the issue. I still have these lines of differing contrast towards the center of the tube. It drives me wild. I can't believe that 2 TVs would produce these same results especially when I read the glowing reviews the set gets on this site. I have tried adjusting the settings with Video Essentials and still no improvements. If anyone has any suggestionis please e-mail me. I am not saying I wouldn't buy a Toshiba TV but I would really like to know what me issue with them are caused by.

I was researching for a month on what t.v. to buy and the Toshiba 36A60 just kept coming up for everything I was looking for. I got rid of my Sony (which wasn't all that), and got the toshiba. What a difference! Granted, the Sony wasn't a Wega, but it was still decent. I looked at the Wega's and this set seemed just as good, if not better (for about half the price). Very recommended!

I spent soooo much time researching on a new 36. I started looking at the Sony Wega but the longer I thought about it that price was not looking too good. Then I saw the Toshiba 36a60. It was comparable to the WEGA's and for the quality I was getting $979.oo was a good deal ( came with free stand at Best Buy )I did not know what to expect when I took this monster home (about 180 pounds). I mainly bought the TV to watch DVD's but when I got the cable signal through I was impressed. This got even better when I connected my new Toshiba SD-2150 DVD player (open box @ $179) using monster cables. The DVD signal was amazing. Watching "Gladiator" on the 36a60 is truly something to see especially if you are very specific on picture quality(duh)
The contrast on this set was what stood out the blues, blacks, greys were truly defined. I like the movie mode which set the colors to "warm" although the brightness was a little bit high this can be adjusted. I truly recommend this set but get some speakers to enhance the sound. The 36ax60 would take care of that but they did not have it in stock.

This Toshiba model, being used as a monitor, has the picture clarity I was looking for at a most FAVORABLE price. I rank it second to Sony's Wega in the non HDTV
category for picture quality using S-video connection.
Remote set-up is simple.
