Color, Contrast, Crisp picture.

Heavy... Call a mover.

I bought this TV in December 1999, and am VERY pleased with it. The color is perfect, Sharpness is wonderful, and most important to me, the black is very dark. I also have another of this model at my office on our video conferencing system. Component video is wonderful. Waiting for HDTV to be more affordable. I bought this TV a while ago, and am not sure of it's current price. At the time of purchase, the price was worth it.

nice picture and design

Just bought this TV last night at Best Buy for around $900.00. The picture is very sharp, and I love the design. The TV looks great in my room. The menu is easy to use and the remote is not very complex. I have it hooked up to my sony receiver str-de635 for watching VHS movies, planning on getting a DVD player soon. I could not control the sound from the TV if I plugged my VCR to the TV and the TV to the receiver, meaning that if I increase the trebble, bass or volume on the TV, I didn't notice any changes from my sony speakers. Otherwise this is a great TV for the price and I love it.

Picture, Component Video Inputs and Cost

Weight

Not much else for me to say than hasn't already been said about the unit...and yes this thing weighs a "Ton"...well actually about 178# (w/o the box). You will need 2 fairly strong people to pick this up and move it. You may need 3 people if you're putting it in an audio video center...2 to pick it up and 1 to guide it in and move the cables out of the way. I hooked up both the Composite (cable TV/VCR inputs) and the Component (for the Pioneer 525 DVD) cables. You should figure out what you "might" need to hook up at “any time in the future” and do it immediately, if it's in an A/V cabinet, otherwise you'll end up having to call over 2 friends to help you move it and hook it up again later.

First, I turned the thing on and immediately turned down the contrast and then "manually" reset the other parameters. I have a quick procedure to set the picture so it's much better than "factory", with no video disk required. Email me if you'd like me to send it to you…I hope my email link above works.

Anyway, after a few days of break-in, I reset the Brightness, Contrast, Tint & Color using my "Video Essentials" DVD. This step is pretty important. The picture that comes out of a movie on DVD now, is simply amazing. The component video inputs are a must, as is a DVD player. This unit has 850 lines resolution and a DVD has only about 500 lines…so I thought, why pay more for resolution overkill. A great TV. I got it at “Video Only” for $839...well worth the price. Perhaps in 5 years when HDTV is finally standardized, I’ll buy another set, but in the meantime, this is a great set.

Price, Picture quality & video inputs

Great TV for the money. I couldn't find a better TV for the money. I almost went with the Sony 36" wega, but decided to save the money and wait until HDTV comes down in price. I paid $750.00 for the Toshiba at Best Buy. $849 sale price with an additional 10% off sale.

This is a great TV. I am running digital cable and DVD through it and the picture is great! I wasn't worried about PIP with two tuners and Best Buy had this on sale for $680 (open box). What a deal!

This is a fine TV, with an excellent picture, and component video inputs as well as an s-video input. I have a Sony DVD connected to the component video, and the result is great. You should be able pick up this set for around $900.

Great Picture

Weight!

Great TV, Very nice picture.
Component Video inputs are great. I hooked up my Panasonic 120U DVD player through the Component inputs and the picture is great! DSS s-video input also looks awesome.

I wish it had additional composite video inputs for my VCR. Also, the remote needs to be backlit.

I got this TV from Best Buy for $849, similar to online.

sharpness,contrast

round tube

The best picture in its class - hands down. On-screen menu is okay, settings are okay, round tube bends horizontal lines noticeably at the edges. Still bought it because of its sharpness. Component video ins are a bonus in this price range. Can't go wrong with this set while waiting for HDTV to settle in.
