This one's a Best Buy doorbuster, which means each store will only get a few dozen, so you'll probably never get near this -- but it is a deal. Amazon is also rumored to be serving up a 40-inch Toshiba for $200 on Black Friday.
Verdict: Smokin' hot
The good: The Toshiba 40E220U features crisp images with a decent amount of contrast. The TV offers a good value and is one of the better units under $500. Colors are well-saturated.
The bad: The TV shows uniformity problems and some of the colors are inaccurate. Shadow detail is lacking compared with the cheaper TCL P60.
The bottom line: The Toshiba 40E220U is a value-for-money television offering decent contrast and bright, vivid colors.
