"Great price but..."

3.5 stars  | on by SBMongoos

Pros

I bought the display model at Costco as costmetically it looked great. I got it for $750 with tax. Lots of features. Great HD picture as Costco had the service via Sat.

Cons

Don't have HD cable at home. Need to get it. Issue with screen arching in upper left corner. Bowtie affect watching widescreen. Toshiba shipped a brand new replacment as local shop couldn't repair.

Summary

I like Toshiba products and they often have better pricing.

The local TV shop had this TV tied up for 90 days trying to fix the arching issue. Finally got it fixed but then they screwed up the TV. They told me it was fixed and ready to be delivered...

The local TV shop had this TV tied up for 90 days trying to fix the arching issue. Finally got it fixed but then they screwed up the TV. They told me it was fixed and ready to be delivered...glad I went in first to verify as it wasn't. Seems to be an obvious communication issue between Toshiba and the repair shop as too often the wrong part was sent or only part of what was needed...hence the 90 days. It was a gamble but Costco has a full refund policy/no questions asked so it was a safe gamble. Toshiba sent a brand new replacement to my front door after a lot of phone time. Very difficult to speak to the same person at Toshiba. The new TV had some of the same issues though but much better on this set. For the price it's a winner. Will have to spring for HD cable. I was amazed a the quality of HD picture at the Costco store. Had researched this TV and found other people had similar problems but did not get the level of support I did or a replacement.

"Great Picture & Cheap"

4 stars  | on

Pros

Great picture with DVD and digital cable HBO - no HDTV cable yet. I'd rate the standard channels as very good. Good sound, though I usually use my HT system. $1,000 at Costco.

Cons

Need to change the picture brightness depending on movie, sports and regular shows, and how much light is in the room. Easy to do and the picture is wonderful, but you have to keep the remote handy - I normally use a 3rd party remote. Never noticed an i

"BEST FLAT TUBE 36"

4.5 stars  | on

Pros

The picture is stunning and the built in sound rocks. Plenty of inputs. I sniped mine from ebay and got a smokin deal.

Cons

Tilt adjustment is a little off center but at least it does center manually.
