This review probably doesn't matter anymore since 42RV530U is not sold any longer.Pros - Great picture, lots of connections (4 HDMI, 1 component, 1 optical digital audio, 1 VGA, etc), easy to operate, menus are good and easily customizable. Cons - Ever since I bought this TV (more than a year before) there has been a small white light bleeding from the top right corner of the screen. I bought it for $1049 ($1199 - 150 discount) and at that time it was a great price. The sound is also very good for a TV speaker. This is not very visible when you watch programs during the day, but during night, especially where there is a lot of black on the screen or during a dark scene it is very irritating. I never bothered to send it back to Toshiba or to take it back to Circuit City.
The product was everything advertised. Delivery was prompt. Great picture. Perfect fit in our space. Couldn't be happier with it. Excelent value
I've had this TV since May 08' and I've been very impressed. The colors are bright, the picture is sharp, and Toshiba is a great name in home electronics. I use it for everything: TV, Blu-Ray Movies, Games, extended computer screen, etc. Only thing better would be 120Hz, but I've compared it to those screens and see very little difference. What's even better is the weight, this TV is only 50 lbs. This is the best TV I've ever owned and I will definitely be looking at Toshiba TV's when upgrading in the future.
The tv was rated one of the top 42' LCD's on consumer reports and it is definitely living up to that. As for sound we have a surround sound system so we can't say much about the tv sound. If you can get this tv for under 1K I say go for it. Very easy to set up and all you need is a digital receiver to get the channels which is only $1 more a month than the regular receiver.
i got this tv at a local long-time dealer (since 1949) AND IT IS a nice looking set. and let it cool off. however, I am having problems with it knocking out part of the sound during shows. sometimes it gets so bad, i have to turn it off for 10 min. today i got a new part for the problem and guess, what, the problem is still there. i am going to have dealer take it back and get a Sony.
