Strengths: Not a thing

Weaknesses: BURN-IN all over the screen the center the right side and on a light screen the entire back ground looks to be burning in on the normal screen not the theater screen

Overall Evaluation: So all you people that love your Regza's do you have any suggestion about the burn in on my set. I suppose we are stuck with a lemon now. What a piece of JUNK I will never buy a Toshiba product again NEVER

Strengths: Price, clarity of picture and vivid colors and swivel base

Weaknesses: pedestal table mount stand is large and bulky.

Overall Evaluation: I could not see any picture difference between this Toshiba and comparable models costing hundreds more. Setup was rather simple. The matted screen helps reduce any outside light reflection. The pedestal mount is 28" wide and 14" deep which could prove to be a problem if it was to mount on a small table.

Overall Evaluation: I highly recommend this television. All stations come in nice and clear. The tv was simple to set up. It has nice sound. The picture is very sharp with intense color.

Strengths: Colors, vibrant detail and vivid light and dark contrast.

Weaknesses: Outdated bezel, remote could be imporoved

Overall Evaluation: Comparing against my sharp aquos 46" 1080p set, the regza is every bit as good as far as color detail and picture quality. My video feeds were a PS3 bluray player, and xbox 360 HD-dvd/console. Also used comcast high def cable, and the picture is superb on HD content.

Strengths: Vivid color, user-friendly remote, sharp picture, sleek design and full 1080p

Weaknesses: Legs on stand stick out a bit far, remote isn't backlit

Overall Evaluation: Great LCD Television for the price. This TV has good picture quality, vivid color, sharp picture. The cabinet has a sleek, modern design, although the legs stick out a bit far at an angle in the front making it difficult to place other components, such as vcr or dvd in front of it. Local HD transmissions can be received without need for a special antenna. It has full 1080p which is great since I also use it as my computer monitor. Gaming quality works well with Playstation and other video games. The Toshiba name comes through again!
