How it sucks

I called Eagle time and time again and they have given me nothing but the run around and not once have they returned any of my calls. The tv was supposed to be a Christmas present but thanks to Eagle that never happened. I will be calling Amazon to get another tv or a refund tomorrow.

We had our TV three months before it broke -- it started turning on and off on its own until it just wouldn't turn on again. We gave the TV to the service center (authorized by Toshiba) who told us the part they needed was back-ordered at Toshiba. Over two weeks later, we're still in the queue to have Toshiba simply look for the part, with no guarantees as to if or when they'll find it.

It not only sought out the digital airwave channels but locked them in. I got so many channels that i don't have to purchase Cable or Dish network channels. I may not get some of the encryed channels as you would from these services but I don't require them and love the basic channels and others I now get without the extra cost.

The picture on non-HD channels isn't horrible (by this I mean it doesn't look worse than a non-HD tv). There is a QAM tuner in the tv, which means when I plugged in the regular cable into my tv I got digital cable channels. (The ones that you get are limited by what your cable provider has "in the clear", but I get NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, PBS, and even TNT all in HD!) My Xbox 360 looks AWESOME on the tv.

Worked well for 3 months, then the screen went blank. Getting Toshiba to honor their warranty has been tricky, and is still ongoing. Will check back with further info as the situation unfolds.

When the tracking information showed it still in Las Vegas after two days I started calling CEVA Technologies, who has bought out Eagle. I made several phone calls before anyone would even look into the matter for me. I just kept being told that they didn't know why my TV was still sitting in Las Vegas and they would have someone call me back.

The first time was December 5th and the problem is the same: The screen suddenly goes black but I still have sound. At first Toshiba tried to blame the cable box but I don't believe it. Toshiba's customer service tells me to unplug the TV for 5 minutes and see what happens.

To me that is totally unacceptable. I wish now that I had bought the TV elsewhere. I have no idea what condition it will be in when it finally arrives.

At first I had doubts about this set because the picture seemed washed out and just unacceptable. I decided to wait until I got my new DVR with expanded HD capabilities before I returned it. The installer from the satellite provider explained that my connections were incorrect and set it up correctly.

The TV is good, however it does not have the quality that I thought. No DVD inside. If you want to use it as a PC monitor, it does not support high definition image (1280 x 800).

It took daily calls and emails to both a national and local Eagle number to discover the television was sitting in the regional warehouse for a week. (Amazon tracking was a couple of days behind. Eagle's tracking kept showing that the television had been newly logged in daily at the regional warehouse for a week).

(they did not bring it in my house,unpack it, remove packing material and check the tv for damage). However, had the box shown any damage I would not have accepted it! It is difficult at least to try and collect damages on an item damaged in shipping.

I purchased this based on the technical specifications, Amazon customer reviews and Consumer Report - this TV is one of the 2007 best LCD. I tried to look at the TV at local retailers, but among all LCDs turned on, this TV was turned off ???

I thought the 37" would work for me but it turned out to be too small so I traded up to a 40" Samsung.

Only problem was shipping; the service Amazon uses for this item was supposed to deliver on Dec 26; after several phone calls, messages, etc., finally got a hold of shipper and got t.v. on Dec 31. While Amazon will give you shipping updates, it does not give you any contact information of shipper in case you have a problem.

Just be patient and don't totally force anything. - MODEL #?: For some reason, my model reads 32HL67US and not 32HL67U. I want to call customer support to ask what the difference is.

I've had this tv for about 5 months now and if it weren't for the tv making a buzzing sound on bright HD channels, i would have given this a higher rating. Whevener a bright channel is on, for example: skiing on an HD channel, there is this buzzing sound eminating from the back of the tv. it's really annoying.

I saw that it had arrived at Eagle on day 4. Apparently they knew that they had 10 days, so were in no hurry. After I called, they brought it the next day, and even called back to see if they could bring it earlier than agreed on.

The local courier informed us that they made daily trips to eagle warehouse and would find the television if it was there. They provided special service to locate and acquire the television from the eagle warehouse and get it to us, ultimately 9 days after Amazon's proposed delivery date. I can't imagine how long it would have taken had we not called multiple numbers daily.

This TV has 14-bit digital video processor, and I believe, it outputs 10 bits. What it means is you get more levels/combinations of colors. For example, you will see the orange as orange, not red or yellow.

This TV has a nice picture, great features, more connections than most people need and an unbelievable price. We replaced our aging 27" CRT with this and couldn't be happier. Getting HD set up this week to take full advantage of the great picture.

First off, my basis for using and reviewing this TV is from normal TV (the built in tuner can find local HD channels, which are amazing!) and Xbox 360 w/ HDMI hook up. TV wise, the picture is great and the provided clicker is very easy to use and very comfortable. Xbox is absolutely amazing!

I just got this TV today and I couldn't be any happier. It looks great, the picture is awesome and the sound is incredible for as small the speakers are. This is a fantastic TV and the low price makes it even better.

The contrast and color is excellent and has been great for gaming and movies. Although this is 720p and I most easily compare to the 1080p, I am very satisfied and easily compares to Samsung, Sony, and Sharp!

Its an awesome tv for the price.shipping was fast, set up easy and the picture looks great!!

I hooked up external speakers right away. I also suggest you look at the reviews on Amazon where another reviewer suggests general (tweak)settings to enhanse the picture. I am using these settings over the factory ones and am very pleased with the results.

I addition to the great picture, the 3 HDMI inputs and PC input add a lot of connectivity options, especially since I have a laptop and an HD camcorder, each with HDMI outputs. The most outstanding feature of the TV is the sound quality, which I didn't expect to be so good. It really fills the space in my 25' x 16' living room, with strong bass and lifelike stereo.

Sound - simply great! those virtual surround sound actually works, of course if you sit in front of the TV. 3D sound effects are also great.

I made a lot of research online and at electronic stores before I finally decided to buy this TOSHIBA. The Regza 32" is definatelly the best cost/ benefit in the market now. Colors, bright, contrast, design, everything looks really good, modern, high end, AWESOME!

That is a must own film for all blue-ray owners. I still can't believe the picture, it's like 3D! My ps3 games play great, and look incredible.

The price was great from Amazon (<$700 after shipping & tax), and the HD picture is pretty amazing. It took me a few days of playing with the settings to get what I consider the best picture, so don't despair if the picture doesn't look great out of the box. Shipping was very fast and I actually received it 1 week before the expected delivery date.

I already had an older Panasonic hdtv and decided to get another tv for my upstairs living room. I was back and forth between the 32" Samsung and Toshiba and I am very happy with the LCD Toshiba. I researched the both of them, instore and out, and found very little differences other than the price.

For the price I paid, this TV is worth every penny!!!I got it on Black Friday for about $650 and have loved it ever since I was able to get the hd box and truly watch crystal clear hd tv.

Some have complained the unit won't turn on instantly, but that's actually an extra feature Toshiba gives you to save power. If you don't care about wasting electricity, you can change it to instant-on in setup. One more thing to remember is the recommended viewing distance, which I believe for this unit is 7' to 9,'but whatever unit you end up with, make sure the recommended viewing distance for the screen size you buy is in fact the viewing distance you expect to have in your home.

I finally decided to give a gift to myself and buy this TV after reading the great reviews here. The price couldnt be beat for similar TV's so I went ahead and ordered one. While some people had trouble with Eagle shipping that Amazon uses I was lucky since a hub for Eagle/Ceva was only 6 miles away.

I bought this tv for my husband for Christmas & we love it. It's easy to hook up, fits well in the space in our small den, and has convenient on-screen programming. The picture has good definition.
