Excellent HDTV *****

By Michael Stombaugh

I purchased the TV from Tiger Direct through Amazon about a year and a half ago for $1200. I couldn’t be more happy with it. I spent a lot of time walking through department stores (Best Buy and Circuit City) to find what kind of TV I wanted to buy, this TV always stuck out. For the screen size and price, you couldn’t find a better buy. I was looking at Mitsubishi’s 57″ DLP first, but researched this TV with it and found that they’re basically the same TV, but the Toshiba was $500 less.

The picture quality on the DLP rivals LCDs and Plasmas, hands down. I have a long living room so having a LCD or Plasma, I wouldn’t really benefit from the really wide viewing angles. With DLPs, I don’t ever have to worry about picture burn-in that the Plasma might experience. With LCDs, the closer you get to the picture, you can actually see the individual LCD “rectangles”. You won’t get that from DLP. The closer you get, all the round images actually stay round.

I have Toshiba’s HD-A30 HD DVD player and the picture is immaculate. I have plans to buy a Blu-ray player also, but I’m waiting until black friday for the good deals. This TV has a built-in HD tuner so with a HD antenna, I get all the local TV channels in hi-def for free.

Bang for buck… top notch*****

I can’t write a glowing enough review for this tv. Yes, I have a few minor quibbles… Silk Screen Effect being the only one of significance (not that significant,really) but all in all, this is a fantastic set. Accepts a 1080p/24 input (reframes to 60, but does an impeccable job) means you can watch the new Hi-Def movie formats as they were meant to be seen. Standard definition tv when moved to the 4:3 format is tolerable.

I have mine hooked up to the HD-a35 toshiba HD-DVD player and I cannot tell you how many peoples jaws have dropped.

This tv, in all honesty, was a steal!

Great Picture, Great Price!!!*****

I stepped up from the Toshiba 52″ version to this one and really like the picture quality! 2 dissapointment were that the TV doesnt have a clock (to show what time it is) like the previous Toshiba model and the remote doesnt have illumination like prior remotes. Overall the TV is great! It is easy to lift and move around and the selection of inputs, 3 HDMI allow me to grow into it. Looks great with my HD DVD player at 1080p! Amazon got it there on time and in one piece!

Toshiba 57HM167**

By J.davies

I purchased a Toshiba 57HM157 from a local retailer in Oregon, Video Only June 11-07. 4 days after getting the TV the Lamp went out. I read reviews on other rear projection Toshiba products prior to my purchase and noticed several complaints of short lamp life which prompted me to purchase an extended in-home warranty. I have had the TV less than 30 days so I will be getting a new one from the retailer. BEWARE OF TOSHIBA REAR PROJECTION TVs. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND A EXTENDED WARRANTY

Good TV ****

By A. Blackwell

This tv has great picture quality, though not quite as good as some of the other top tier tvs in the same segment, the price more then makes up for that being a few hundred dollars cheaper. I have all three consoles hooked up and all look great. Blu-Ray on the PS3 looks great specially if you use HDMI. Also, until recievers have more HDMI hook ups, this tv has enough to hold you over with three. Unfortunately, non HD sources don’t look quite a good. My Wii which is hooked up through component just looks blurry. This is obviously a problem due to this sets large size, all tvs of this size share this problem with blurred images of non HD sources. I have Direct TV HD and it looks great, however, be wary since lots of the “HD” channels aren’t true HD yet, just less compression then before.

I did have a problem with the bulb going out after a few weeks, however, since I’m still within the first year of warranty, they replaced it within a week at no charge. Unfortunately, you do have to send back the broken bulb which is a nuissance, but it’s a small price to pay.

See all customer review….
