Does Toshiba Make Good HDTV?

In short the answer is yes. Take for example Toshiba REGZA 37HL67 a 37-inch 720p LCD HDTV that received plenty of good consumer reviews thanks to it's excellent display quality even though it is a mere 720p LCD instead of a full HD (1080p) TV. And it's not just the picture. This TV is easy to setup, the menu navigation is intuitive, the built-in audio is pretty good and the user manual is complete. The price is also very reasonable which is a strong pulling factor for people who just can't justify spending thousands of dollars for an lcd tv.

Another good example is the Toshiba REGZA 42RV530U 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV. Curious just how good it is? Take a look at this list of some of it's strong points :

* HD channels and Blu-ray movies look awesome. Great picture for upconverted DVD and SD channels.
* Crisp and clear picture even on default settings. This is a good thing for those of you who don't want to be troubled with the tweaking the settings.
* For those who think the picture quality can be improved this set provide easy setup with plenty of tweaking options.
* Wide range of connections. 4 HDMI, 2 component, 2 composite, 1 S video, 1 VGA and 1 optical audio out.
* Great price! For a 42-inch 1080p HDTV the $1,100 price tag is a steal.
* Good sound quality with sound leveling feature
* Pretty good remote and easy to navigate menus.
* Very useful mute and half-mute feature
* Aesthetically appealing design.
* A very useful game mode.

Does All Toshiba LCD HDTV good?

For this question the answers is obviously no. Just like any other gadgets made by any other manufacturers there are always some bad apples in a barrel of good ones. As for Toshiba the 9HLV87 19-Inch LCD HDTV is clearly one of the bad apples. Crappy picture quality for standard channels, wacky volume settings for the built-in DVD player, immensely difficult menu system and the huge remote control are just some griefs customers discovered from this set.

Conclusion

Not All lcd tv from Toshiba are good a few of them is really a messy product. So, if you want to get yourself a Toshiba HDTV make sure you read the consumer reviews before you make your buying decision. What people think as a good/bad point may not be such a big deal for you. Just remember that your own personal preferences are the most important ones.
