 Great T.V. November 2, 2008

This is the first T.V. that I have ever bought, and it is amazing. The picture quality is superb, the only downside is it doesn't have 1080p. But that resolution isn't even noticeable on this size tv. I don't use the built in speakers so I don't know if they are any good. I highly recommend this tv to just everyone.
great tv for the price. Amazing pic October 12, 2008

I actually was planning on getting a 1080 tv for our newly remodeled den. However, after spending so much on our renovation on the house, I decided to go "cheap." Trust me, the pic is amazing. I may one day get the 1080 40 inch 120hz, but I couldn't be happier with this purchase.
Oh....and in our area, the pic with an antenna is MUCH better than what we get on our cable HD channels. Go figure! (keep that in mind for football games). Regarding that, the auto channel select for Antenna works better than any tv I have ever had. Selects both the analog and digita channels.
37" Toshiba is an Exceptional TV September 4, 2008

Purchased this TV after much research. I do mean much research. The picture quality is excellent. It was easy to set up and is attractive. The sound is very good also. I looked at many TV's side by side and this one had as good a picture as the higher priced ones and better than the tvs in the same price range. Don't even think of getting a 1080p. I was told by experts and I saw for myself that with this size screen you cannot see the difference, besides 1080p programs are not even broadcast yet and will be years before they are.
I am so pleased I made this purchase. There are so many to pick from but I believe I got one of the best. Another runner up was the Panasonic 37".
 Poor customer service August 11, 2008

The first 2 months with my new tv were awesome. Great picture, great sound, lots of connections. However after just under 3 months the LCD panel went out. Luckily the warranty covers this. Unfortunately however, Toshiba's customer service sucks and its been almost 1 month since i first called them and its still not even being worked on. Do no buy this tv because if it breaks, you're screwed!!!
 Skip 720p - Spend a little more for a great 40 inch 1080p July 22, 2008

I wanted a medium sized bedroom HDTV without paying a high price for a premium model. After reviewing 37 inch HDTV's, I decided the Toshiba 37AV500U had great reviews and it was relatively inexpensive. Installation and setup with standard cable went fine. The picture was good, but not great (I am spoiled with 1080P on two other high end sets that I own). All was well until I tried to delete unwanted channels. The manual says you can hide channels in the setup menu. The deleted (hidden) channels kept coming back, and worse yet unused cable channels started to appear when the channel up/down buttons were used. I contacted Toshiba customer service and basically got nowhere. They said there was an update for the TV that would fix the problem. I had the local Toshiba service rep come out. He said there was no update for this TV. He tried in vain to delete/hide channels and gave up. He agreed it was a defect in the TV. I could not find a report online about this problem, so maybe it was a one off. I returned the set and decided to try a different model. I upgraded to the Samsung LN40A530 (a 40 inch 1080p) for about a third more than the Toshiba. The difference in picture quality, ease of use, remote control, etc., was amazing. Well worth the extra money. I expect that with broadcasts going all digital in less than a year, large 720p sets will soon be dinosaurs. My advice is to pay no attention to people who claim you cannot see any difference between 720p and 1080p at 37 to 40 inches. It was obvious to me. In my opinion Samsung makes a much better HDTV than Toshiba. Comparable to, or even better than Sony, and that says a lot.
