Toshiba Regza 47HL167

I exchanged a Toshiba 42LX196 for this set because the 42" had a stray pixel and Toshiba could not get a panel for it. The 47" was a great upgrade as the 1080p resolution was true 1080p as to where the 42LX196 was 1080i upscaled to 1080p. The HL series does lack the netwroking capabilities found in the LX (Cinema Series) models. With the networking you can get updates on the firmware, view video and pics over the network, listen to music, and even send your TV an email telling it to record shows through the i-Link IR send through.

I guess what I am trying to say is that the 47HL167 is an awesome set that produces a picture that rivals higher priced models, but it would be more awesome if it had the networking capabilities of other Toshiba models.

It never, EVER, ceases to amaze me that there are literally thousands of people, who obviously have Internet access, who purchase any brand of HD TV, and seemingly expect it to magically transform standard-definition content into high-def. Let me ask y'all one question: Did you do YOUR homework before making this purchase?

That said, after 3 years of use, this Toshiba TV has been perfect...no dead pixels, nothing.
