Upgrade your viewing experience to 1080p True HD with the 42RV535, featuring DynaLight dynamic backlight control, offering significant improvement in black levels for deep images. With Full HD, there's no need to scale down a 1080 signal. With twice the pixel resolution of 720p HD models, Full HD creates the pinnacle in picture quality. StableSound maintains television volume within a preset range regardless of the source signal. Eliminates the annoyance of normal program volume being followed immediately by extremely loud commercial messages or drastic volume fluctuations while changing channels.

Summary: Buyer Beware
Comment: Ok , so I bought this T.V. about six months ago and i couldn't be happier with it. The picture was crisp the sound was on point. I had no problems with it, until yesterday when it stopped working. Apparently the power supply died in it, so after doing some researched i learned that mine wasn't the only one this happened to. Thank god it was still under warranty and Toshiba is going to pay for parts and labor to fix it. But I'm kinda disappointed that it happened in a six month period with such an expensive T.V. I guess they just don't make things like they use to.

Summary: Excellent overall pick.
Comment: I did a fair amount of research before buying this model, and I have to say I love it. I'm not an expert on the technology, but I wanted a full HD capable set for a resonable price, and I basically did my comparison by researching online and comparing features and also by going into stores and comparing pictures myself. I thought this Toshiba looked as good as several more exspensive models from other manufacturers, and I haven't been dissapointed. I really only watch HD programming from my local cable provider, haven't tried a Blu-ray yet, but everything looks great that I've tried.

Summary: Nice TV, Comcast box compatible?
Comment: We have had this TV over two weeks after spending weeks researching TV's. Its my first LCD TV and I'm very impressed. The screen looks fantastic, and 42" is plenty big in our living room (12x22). I have found no dead pixels, and if you want it brighter, turn off the power save features, however I think the power save/autoview work just fine, brightening as needed based on ambient light. I didn't find that color settings needed adjusting and left that on auto-home mode. Screen looks great even with glare coming in from the afternoon sun shining through the front door. The housing definitely picks up dust, an issue for us since we have a wood stove. I have the SRT supconvert feature set on automode, but I can't see the difference in the levels, from 1 to 5, and there is little explanation in the manual, and I have noticed now some strange artifacts on non-HD channels, vertical lines/warping, especially noticable on peoples faces on news channels. It may be the cable box (see below). The sound seems very good for a LCD TV, and Toshiba I think makes special effort in this regard, as they do not hype 5 speaker surround sound like some other manufacturers, but it is not "Hi Fi".
We had the TV directly hooked up to cable for the first week, but could not get all channels that way (missing some digital channels that are normally between 100-200 on the Comcast box), so no encore/IFC/Sundance, no digital music channels, no Bloomberg, and no HBO. Other channels in that ranged showed up under other numbers, like 10-1, etc. Since we have HBO and on demand thru Comcast, we upgraded to the HD box and hooked it up thru HDMI port 1 on the back of the TV. Unfortunately, the Comcast box remote doesn't work most of the time when the TV is on, but works fine when the TV is turned off or the HDMI cable is disconnected from the TV. Its not the remote itself, as the old comcast remote and the Toshiba universal remote (which I have programmed for the cable box) have the same issue with the Comcast HD box. Also, HBO and on demand do not work, showing only a call comcast message. Comcast is due out today after 6 days after the cable box arrived and 5 days after the appt was set up. Its just so strange that the remotes only work to the cable box when the TV is off. Hopefully, its nothing to do with the TV, some sort of interference or something.

Summary: Great 1080P LCD HDTV!
Comment: Wow, what an amazing TV. Colors looks great. Blacks look black. No dead/stuck pixels. Honestly, I couldn't be happier.
I, currently, have both a PS3 and 360 hooked up via HDMI and the picture quality is on par with other high priced sets. Blu-ray looks fantastic. What can I say... I love 1080p!
Menus aren't too bad, either. Not as good as Sony's, but still, there are many options it's fairly easy to navigate.
If you're looking for a decently priced HDTV, look no further. Picture quality is outstanding and the set itself looks very nice with its piano black exterior.

Summary: Awesome TV
Comment: Great picture. Blacks are black, and colors are deep and rich. The auto view is a great setting that will adjust to the room's lighting and automatically select the brightness and other picture settings. Loads of inputs, a total of 4 HDMI. Perfect for connecting my cable box, 360, Blu-Ray and still have an extra to spare. The built in game mode and low response time make it a great TV for gaming. No noticeable lag so FPSs play great. The best thing about this TV is the price. I did a lot of research and a lot of people agree this is a great TV at a great price. Competes with Sony and Samsung's lineup.
If I could find any cons for this set: The back panel is too close to the edge of the TV, not really a problem because it makes for easy access, but it may cause a pain for cable management.
Blu-Ray is still the way to go, but even playing DVDs upconverted to 1080p looks amazing on this set. If you want a quality picture and don't feel like dropping the cash on Blu-Ray, invest in a nice upscaling player.
