How it sucks
click term for excerpts - most relevant excerpts first12 months ago @ AmazonIn keeping with their product's lack of quality, Toshiba's customer service reps have been even worse; two have hung up on me when I asked to speak to a manager to explain why their response has been completely unreasonable. Please note that Toshiba insists its warranty is only for repair, not replacement. That way, Toshiba tries to avoid having to replace its lemon TVs, like this model.
12 months ago @ AmazonNow I'm waiting for amazon response in order to return this item and have a refund. The TV set looks very nice aesthetically, however, this in not very relevant if it doesn't work. Next time I would stick with the traditional brands.
12 months ago @ AmazonEven if the unit is somehow repaired (which will require at least 2 service calls, waiting on a technician, etc.), I will have been without the TV for at least 2 months. I plan to pursue litigation against Toshiba for its breach of its implied terms of reasonableness in its so-called "warranty," but of course that is not what I or anyone else should have to resort to in order to resolve a problem that arose a mere 2 weeks out of the box. I realize this is only one unit, but Toshiba's response has proven that it is not a company responsive to its customers.
12 months ago @ AmazonThe problem is that it broke within 2 weeks of turning it on the first time. Just stopped working and won't even turn on. Toshiba has not been responsive or helpful at all in resolving the matter, simply directing me to a third party repair place.
9 months ago @ AmazonThe repair company said this is common with Toshiba. I sent it back to Amazon and whet with another Television. I loved the picture quality on the Regza, but I was left very disappointed and without a television for weeks.
12 months ago @ AmazonToshiba, however, has proven to be a disaster of a company to deal with. I strongly recommend against this Toshiba product, as it and Toshiba's customer service have proven to be nothing but a long-term headache.
10 months ago @ AmazonIt worked well yesterday, but tonight, it went wrong. It cannot read any DVD discs, and the worse is, when I am watching TV, it will automatically switch to the DVD screen even if no disc is inserted. And if I shut off the power, it will automatically restart.
13 months ago @ AmazonThe DVD player is pretty standard and the side mount makes it difficult to install the TV in a cabinet, etc. but with an articulating wall mount, that is not an issue. The menus are not as intuitive as others but are adequate for fine tuning.
12 months ago @ AmazonWhen I connected the TV to the electric outlet it began to throw large amounts of white smoke with a toxic smell. This is very disappointing as this TV set apparently was high rated.
13 months ago @ AmazonThey did not actually arrive until 2 p.m. - no call to explain the delay and no apology for the delay on arrival. They did offer to unpack it for me - apparently they just meant the tv so I could check it for damage and not the stand itself, because they left that enclosed in its styrofoam packaging.
13 months ago @ AmazonI have not seen this but for one exception. HD channels always revert back to native resolusion. So if you are watching a SD program on an HD channel, stretch it to fit the screen, turn off the set, then turn it back on, it will no longer be stretched.
11 months ago @ AmazonHD connection is best for this tv as with any HD unit, but standerd broadcast is typical below par quality, and well grainy. The price is not only good but the quality of Toshiba is really revealed here; I would compare the image quality with that of Sony and Samsung.
13 months ago @ AmazonI am somewhat disappointed that I am unable to access my cable guide through the remote that came w/ this television, despite having tried all of the number combinations available.
9 months ago @ AmazonWhen Our new Toshiba television arrived I was impressed with the shipping company amazon used and with the fact the shipper opened the product and checked it out to see if everything was working, but he did not check the DVD player. It was not working. That's when the trouble began.
9 months ago @ AmazonSo there are always black bars on the side, and in the PC input mode you can't stretch the image. So if you are watching a 16:9 movie on your laptop and you hook it up to this TV, you get a very small widescreen movie in the center of the screen surrounded by mostly black. Many other TVs (like Samsung) are not like this and support 16:9 on the PC input.
13 months ago @ AmazonThe menu funtions are fairly simple for someone such as myself who has little technical know-how, but the menus are difficult to see and read - background is light and letters tend to blend in w/ the background, rather than stand out, and type is too small to be read easily. I will admit that I have extremely bad vision due to MS, so what is a problem for me may not be a problem for others.
9 months ago @ AmazonSometimes I have movies on my laptop that I would like to play on the TV. However the PC input is almost worthless. This is a 16:9 TV, but the PC input only supports 4:3 inputs on the PC input.
13 months ago @ AmazonNow that I am learning it, it is okay. Just not intuitive. I like the three level mute function.
10 months ago @ AmazonI cannot watch TV, I cannot watch DVD. I cannot even eject the disc. The tv keeps reading the disc, you cannot do anything else.
12 months ago @ AmazonPicture and sound are good but the inbuilt DVD makes a subtle whirring sound. If you can block it out and not pay attention it is okay, therwise it can be annoying.
How it doesn't
click term for excerpts - most relevant excerpts first10 months ago @ AmazonI love my Toshiba tv. I saw the 26" version of the combo dvd/lcdtv and loved the picture and the conveniences of the combo. I have a small space so this is important.
11 months ago @ AmazonNow we get most of the stations we watch regularly in 1080i HD and the picture is great. The blacks are nice and dark, the colors are great, the image is full screen with no need to alter the format manually and the sound is terrific (the room is small so we never set the sound very high). Since we don't watch a lot of DVDs, the built-in DVD is great since it eliminates additional equipment and cables.
12 months ago @ AmazonThe built-in DVD player is excellent. The image and sound are great. The set is easy to use, and Amazon provided the best price we were able to find.
13 months ago @ AmazonDVD picture is also great. No regrets here. Would highly recommend this toshiba set as well as amazon and electronics expo for the ease of the transaction.
12 months ago @ AmazonI am very satisfied with this product; easy set up; super great picture and sound; easy to use. I'd recommend it!!
13 months ago @ AmazonColors were bright, features were crisp and clear! The sound on this tv is excellent - you can actually hear sound moving from one side to the other! I am quite impressed.
9 months ago @ AmazonPicture is perfect, so happy with HD and DVD player all in one. The best part is it is really portable and can be moved around very easily.
13 months ago @ AmazonI love my new Toshiba television! Great picture and the built-in DVD player is a cinch to use. Delivery was fast and the delivery men got it all set up for me just hours before the cableman arrived for hookup.
10 months ago @ AmazonI searched high and low for the best 32" flat LCD, and settled on this. The DVD is very convenient and this model (with DVD) is hard to find in typical retail stores. Got the Peerless articulating mount (also high quality).
13 months ago @ AmazonBased on Consumer reports reviews narrowed the search to Sony, Panasonic, Samsung and Toshiba: all highly rated for picture quality in a 32 inch set. On further review, narrowed the search to Panasonic and Toshiba. Settled on Toshiba based on price comparison and was totally sold after realizing I could get the set at a great price with the DVD built in.
12 months ago @ AmazonGood sound without use of external speakers. Great value. Con#1: Less than stellar fast motion and camera pan viewing for sports.
10 months ago @ AmazonThe sound quality is excellent. Popping in a DVD into the built-in player couldn't be any easier. The delivery was made several days earlier than estimated by Eagle Global.
13 months ago @ AmazonIt also does NOT heat up like some reviewers have mentioned. All in all, I am more than happy with this set. The built in DVD was a nice to have for me so I could just mount the set and not worry about where to put a player.
13 months ago @ AmazonAll of that aside, I am very satisfied and happy with this set and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quality set at a reasonable price.
13 months ago @ AmazonWas a little surprised to see the price fluctuating between $706-$760 dollars within the span of days. shipping added $50. The picture is beautiful!
13 months ago @ AmazonI had never seen the LCDs (very few stores carry them around here) but the reviews here on Amazon and my past experience with Toshiba made up my mind. Received the set in less time than Amazon estimated. The delivery people opened the box, set everything up, and verified that it was in working order.
12 months ago @ AmazonAmazon has the best price and delivery time was better than expected.
13 months ago @ AmazonThis LCD TV is about as good as you can do for the price. Toshiba is a top notch brand that rivals Sony for best LCDs. It has a great picture from the internal digital tuner (over-the-air brodcast w/ rabbit ears) and from a satellite feed.
9 months ago @ AmazonExcellent video quality, very good video with upconverting built in DVD, IT IS ALMOST HD quality with some movies. Only con, cannot receive Dolby Digital Audio from Directv HD receiver. I can receive Dolby Digital from Sat HD receiver through external audio receiver.
11 months ago @ AmazonI purchased this as a Christmas gift and its been about a month now. This product is the perfect solution for someone looking for a midsize LCD. The light reflection wasnt problematic at all, and the upconverting DVD player optimizes the 32 inch screen well.
