from Futureshop Summary:
Ok lets start by saying I LOVE TV. I watch many TV programs, movies and play video games so I good TV is important to me.
Over the past two years I've become very fond of Toshiba TV, mind you I don't usually go to buy a product and look at brand names, I usually look for quality/price/features and choose what best meets my needs. I have equipment from JVC, GE, RCA, Yamaha, Samsung, Panasonic and Toshiba(probally more too), but Toshiba TV's are really standing out to me now. It all began almost three years ago when I bought a 27" standard no frills(except component video) TV made by toshiba, it had its downfalls but overall I was very impressed. This april past I decided to replace the 27" and get a new HDTV, when I began to look I looked at sony, toshiba and panasonic and ended up with the 50H81 for various reasons. I then sold the 27" TV. A few weeks later I wanted a new TV for my Rec Room and kind of regreted selling the 27" becuase it would have been perfect, but it was too late for that, so I went looking again, I decided to look at 32" instead. I looked at a JVC, Sony(not Wega) and Toshiba, I decided once agian that Toshiba was the best choice, and got a 32A41. A few weeks ago I finally decided that it was time to replace my 13 year old TV in my bedroom, it had no AV inputs, mono sound, the picture began to show lines, and the remote died and it was impossible to find a universial one with full compatibility. So I went looking again, I wanted to get a really nice TV and decided on Flat Screen before I went looking. After looking at the price diffence from 20" to 24" and the nice screen size increase I decided that 24" was what I wanted. My choices where then narrowed down to a Sony, Sony Wega and Toshiba. The standard sony was over $100 more and the Wega was almost double the price of the toshiba, and in all honestly the toshiba still looked the best. After looking and comparing the two(I quickly ruled out the Wega it was $900 before taxes and much more than I wanted to spend) the toshiba won hands down, it had better sound and picture quality. If your looking to get a great set that won't break the bank and still has just as good if not better quality and features than a TV almost twice the price then get this one, you won't be disapointed. Strengths:
Everything! Good remote, Colorstream input(component video) S-Video, and AV inputs(including front AV) and a 24" flat screen is surpisingly smaller than a stanard 25" TV and fits perfect in a bedroom. Weaknesses:
None to speak of, but since nothing is perfect here goes. All flat screen TV's have minor jaggy effects, luckly you can hardly notice it on this TV, its much more noticable on 26" flat screens, this is the best flat screen TV I've seen outside of HDTV's. The reset on the remote is a bad idea, I havent hit it yet but I don't like it there. Toshiba just recently droped warranty on TV's to one year instead of two years, but since sony was the first to drop warranty we can thank them I guess. All in all these are minor complaints that don't hurt the TV in anyway, if anything the quality of the flat screen compared to some others is a strength not weakness. Similar Products Used:
