Toshiba 26AV502U What An Upgrade!

I love this flat screen TV. I had bought a new JVC tube TV a few years ago which, surprisingly, went dead after just two years. So, I bought an old 20 inch tube off Craigslist for $20. I'm not that picky, and ignored my friends when they teased me about half my screen turning everyone "green" and the fuzzy picture. Still, I was sticking to my guns. Until I bought my 89-year old mom, a 22 inch flat screen a couple of months ago.I decided to pick a price point and when a 26 inch flat screen hit that point, I would jump on it. I had targeted this Toshiba and was tracking it on several sites. Amazon, in all their brilliance, dropped their prices the days after Christmas and scooped their competition. I also knew that I could trust Amazon, as opposed to sellers I never heard of, and so I bought this set from them. It arrived way before the promised date, and was fairly easy to set up. It works great, easy to use, volume is fine, despite a couple of reviews to the contrary. Would recommend this to anyone looking for an apartment-sized TV, or one for a bedroom. What a difference in viewing from anything I've had before.

Toshiba 26AV502U Buy this, you won't be sorry.

Before Christmas we looked at several brands ranging in price from $399 to $550 in the 26-32 inch range. The Toshiba brand made the difference since the other sets in our price range were mostly off brand sets. We received the TV in less than a week, delivered to the door. Setup was easy. The manual is complete and easily understood. This TV is located in an area of the house with a lot of sunlight. Color is sharp with a minimum of glare. Sound quality is great although we will be adding some external speakers for more depth. For the price this is an excellent buy. You won't be sorry.

Toshiba 26AV502U Great LCD HDTV at a great price

I received the Toshiba 26AV502U a few days ago, and have been blown away by its presentation and features so far. It being my first LCD HDTV, I'm not a real expert on what to look for in an HDTV other than a nice picture, something the Toshiba 26AV502U excels in. I have not experienced the sound problems others have been having; the sound, in my opinion, is perfect. If you're shopping for an LCD HDTV at a great price, you can't go wrong with this one.

Toshiba 26AV502U Great TV, Great Price

After much searching and researching I purchased this TV from Amazon as it was the best deal, with the features I wanted, for this model and fit my space limitations perfectly.

Pros:
Easy to set up. Good picture quality, good color, blacks look fine to me so can't agree with other reviewers, good remote, works well with over the air antenna. Sounds great with my cheap Pioneer surround sound. I'd rate the on board sound fine as well. I didn't find the manual at all difficult to interpret. I had it scanning channels with a cheap antenna 10 minutes after taking it out of the box. It picked up 32 over the air channels. I do live on a hill in a major metro area so that may help. I've seen some digital signal breakup when viewing distant stations when there is heavy rain but you cannot fault the TV for that. I do not have this TV placed in an optimal viewing location, 8" above ground level inside a built-in cabinet so the viewing angle is from above looking down, hardly optimal, and I still think the picture is fine. I was concerned about the viewing based on other reviews? Side angle viewing I would rate exceptional.

Cons: None. Its a good TV for the money.

Other: It would have been nice if my old Panasonic surround sound would pick up the Toshiba remote.

Toshiba 26AV502U Good Buy

The price and the quality are just right for my purpose--a bedroom TV. It works well and has an excellent picture--particularly in HD mode.

Toshiba 26AV502U Exactly what I was looking for

This TV was exactly what I was looking for at the price I wanted to pay. It has a great picture and great sound. Perfect TV for the bedroom and uses hardly any space.

Toshiba 26AV502U Impressive

With its many inputs the possibilities are endless. Picture quality is next to perfect! Great buy.

I actually ordered the 'U' but received the 'R' model. From what I read the only differences are the layout of the on-screen menu and the layout for the inputs on back. The 'R' model seems to be manufactured after the 'U'. The inputs for the 'R' are found on the face of the back. That of the 'U' is on the bottom of the back meaning one must push up to get wires connected.

Toshiba 26AV502U Pretty good for the money

I purchased mine from best buy as I work at the store. I use it in my room so I can watch movies and stuff when my roommates are watching reality TV or something else stupid.

Either way,...

Pro's:
-Great sound considering the size of the speakers, I would compare this to Sony Tv's to be honest. Can not get as loud, but same quality.
-No glare at all. the matte finish diffuses all the light which is great.

Cons:
-Black level detail. In darker scenes/games you will lose much detail, but that is because of the matte finish. Its a trade-off for not having to deal with glare.
-No optical out, meaning if you have a cheap-o home theater in a box with only 1 optical input, you will be limited for surround sound.

The 5 star reasoning: The black level details are not up to par in my book. Maybe this is unfair because I sell TV's all day and see the best, but I think it could be better. Maybe not for the price though. Which is why I still gave it 5. I think the average user would never notice and would be very happy.

Toshiba 26AV502U Nice performance, great value

I just got this TV when Amazon dropped the price. I am very pleased with it, its a terrific value. The picture is amazing, its highly energy efficient costing only $1.14 a month to operate based on 6 hours viewing a day. Its an Energy Star TV. Sound is also good for what it is it has 2 X 5 watt speakers. I saw the other review here and am a little perplexed as I've found this TV to be a great value for a standard 26" LCD TV which is what it is. I'd highly recommend it.
