At home we use this in our large bedroom. It has great natural sound for basic TV watching. We also have it connected to a home 7.1 theater set up (Win 7 media computer, Optoma EP745 projector, Sony STR-DN1000 7.1 Receiver, Comcast Cable).
Additionally we're using it as a computer monitor, including watching streaming movies via Netflix and also avi/dvix files from hard drive. The monitor desktop looks great!--we use a VGA set-up for computer to TV (we're using the computer DVI for our projector, but I tried both and it looks even better with an HD DVI signal).
One of the other little surprises we discovered the other day-- our Sony receiver's "Bravia" function started connecting to Toshiba's corresponding "Regza-Link" feature. Essentially the TV and Receiver communicated to work out each other's basic settings when one is turned on (you still may have to tweak it is set-up a bit). So I suppose that means one (Regza or Bravia) is compatible with the other. I don't know which or if both are, but it works on ours.
The picture quality is also great. We have a 52" Samsung in our living room. The display-- brightness, contrast etc. is every bit as good as the Samsung which we love.
This is an awesome television choice.
The other main give up with this set is that it uses 3:2 pull down technology for 1080p/24 fps input (i.e, blu-ray) instead of the Regza series' 5:5 pull down which promises smoother motion. In fact, when viewing the absolutely amazing-looking Blu-Ray of Troy, I did detect some jutter on slow distance panning scenes and slow moving close up scenes. It is just slightly annoying. Changing the Blu-Ray's display setting from 1080p/24fps to plain 1080p/60fps eliminated the jutter with a barely perceptible give up in overall picture quality, if any at all. Jutter is not an issue with regular broadcast TV via my DirecTV connection, and the 120 hz setting produces no blur at all on fast moving action scenes and sports. If I'd known about the jutter issue on blu-ray, I might have price shopped for the entry level Regza XV-645u model with 5:5 pulldown, but I did save about $100 dollars with this set.
This HDTV has a very flexible and intuitive picture adjustment capability, which enables you to experiment with color temperature, intensity, contrast, brightness and all the usual settings quickly and easily until you find what suits you and your room. The four pre-sets (standard, sports, video and movie) are limited but give you a place to start and adjust the picture to your liking from the easy to access menus. The colors are deep and true with my DirecTV 1080i feed, and the set looks great on a variety of color settings. The 'Smooth' video setting that enables the 120 HZ processing has produced no blur that I can see; motion on broadcast TV looks remarkably smooth. I adjusted my rating to 4 stars due to a couple of minor peeves in addition to the blu-ray jutter: the DynaLight backlight auto - adjust is a little slow and sometimes adjusts and re-adjusts during a scene; I might turn this feature off. I have also noticed that the color fades when viewed from about a 140-50 degree angle, not the 178 degrees advertised with most of these sets. With Costco's 90 day return and one year extension of the manufacturer's warranty, it was well worth it to get a great picture on a set that might have cost twice the money less than a year ago. If you're looking for a basic-featured set at great price, you won't be disappointed with this set, but the Regza series TV's have superior technology for 24 fps blu-ray at a slightly higher price point than this set.
The first TV that we bought had a manufacturing defect and couldn't be powered on. We were extremely disappointed because the picture quality, color was probably very natural among the other TVs at store and didn't want to miss on this TV. So we thought of giving it a second try.
After getting the new TV as replacement, it has been very pleasing experience. Colors are just awesome. At times, I feel that audio level is average. It could have been better but i won't fret about it. I can always hook up an external audio device. The response time was stated as <8ms which I can't figure out watching many action movies. It has 3 HDMI inputs which is standard these days. Also you get, S-Video port and VGA input port, and it's very convenient.
All in all, it was a very good buy for us.
Three units, three different problems, three returns in a span of 24 hours.
