Duration of ownership: 1 Years

Strengths: Great quality picture and sound when viewing high definition channels. Easy to set up.

Weaknesses:Poor picture quality on standard broadcast. Television video intermittently shuts itself off.

Overall Evaluation: Purchased this television based on good reviews and am very satisfied with it when it works. However, the intermittent shutoff problem is very frustrating and I am experiencing poor customer service from Toshiba in attempting to get it repaired. Have had it in the shop twice and repairman can't fix it. Toshiba says it will make no more repair attempts until I exchange the cable box to eliminate it as a source of the problem even though the television shut itself off while in the repairshop, too. Toshiba rep is very unprofessional in handling consumer complaints. Although the set works great most of the time, I would not recommend it to anyone only because of the poor customer service I've experienced from Toshiba. I'm quite certain that the set I got is simply a lemon, but Toshiba is unwilling to admit to that.

Duration of ownership: 3 Months

Strengths: Fantastic picture, size, weight, connectivity, and variety of adjustments

Weaknesses:The built in audio system leaves a lot to be desired. Its quality of sound and variety of adjustments are fine, however the sound level must be brought up to mid range or higher in order to hear.

Overall Evaluation: I've had this TV now for over 3 1/2 months and I couldn't be happier. The build quality is fantastic. The amount of HDMI connections (4) is wonderful. There's plenty of other connection possibilities here including a PC connection. There is virtually no glare on the screen at any time and the price is certainly right. I would recommend this TV to anyone.

Duration of ownership: 15 Days

Strengths: Easy to setup, easy to use controls, great picture with HD service, great value for the price

Weaknesses:poor picture , fuzzy with non-HD broadcast channels

Overall Evaluation: I am very impressed with the Toshiba REGZA 42RV530U that I recently purchased from Crutchfield.com. It is a very good quality HD set for the price and it has all of the features you need for a low cost yet high quality LCD HD setup. If you do not have an HD dish or cable and do not intend to upgrade to one with the purchase, then do not but this set. The picture quality for non-HD broadcasts is blurry and visually poor quality. For those who have HD service or plan to upgrade this is a great television at a great price with a great view when watching HD programs

Duration of ownership: 11 Days

Strengths: Gorgeous HD picture! Pleasantly aesthetic bezel & speaker. Easy to use menu system. Nice shortcut buttons on universal remote. Rear cable straps help organize connected cables.

Weaknesses:RF Input points down making it harder to plug in if rear space is limited. SD picture is OK. No headphone jack. No shortcut to change from Antenna to Cable input.

Overall Evaluation: This is my first LCD TV. So far the overall verdict is awesome. The cons above are more quibbles than real negatives. Regarding the SD picture, I haven't had too much opportunity to play with the settings... Actually, I haven't changed anything, I'm using it with all the default settings. So it might get better with adjusted settings. I'm comparing it against my old Zenith tube TV which had a very sharp & clear SD picture (but died). The HD tuner picked up more channels than I expected. The menu system also seems upgradeable. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a very complete, but large, manual (it's in English & French).

Duration of ownership: 10 Days

Strengths: I was very impressed with the picture on this tv and the price and it was very easy to set up, it has a swivel stand which is a great.

Weaknesses:none so far

Overall Evaluation: I am very impressed with this tv it is simple to use, very easy instructions and it was priced very nicely and the swivel stand it a very nice feature, my tv sits near a outside door and i thought that the reflection from the light coming in the door was going to be a problem however it is not, and it does not have an anti glare screen, so that is very nice. I would recommend this tv to everyone. I am very happy and impressed with it.

Review:

Toshiba Regza 42RV530U 42-inch LCD HDTV

The good-quality sound and nice design touches of the 42RV530U don't make up for this 42-inch HDTV's overly bright and washed-out image.

You have a bright future ahead of you if you buy Toshiba's 42RV530U--but not in a good way. Our judges found its images overly bright and washed out, with yellowish or orangey skin tones.
