Toshiba 37AV502U 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Details

I WANT TO LOVE THIS TV AND I'M SURE i WILL, ONCE i FIND ONE THAT DOES NOT HUM. I am typically a higher end consumer electronics customer. I own 3 other Toshiba flat screens-one for bathroom, one for family room one for bedroom, a Sony flat screen in my study and a Vizio for a guest room. Also own Toshiba DVD players. I needed a 37" in my master bedroom so I went with a familiar brand and I did tons of hands (and eyes) on research. The only bad Toshiba product I've dealt with in the past was a laptop (poor customer service), until now...

First I'll cut to the chase and tell you how it is. You will NOT find a better LCD HDTV over 32" in this price range with this many features that provides high-end picture quality while providing at least entry level inputs/flexibility. In ths category, Sony and Toshiba design their TVs but buy LCDs from a supplier. Samsung and LG make their own. People are going to tell you Samsung 32" + are the way to go and I can tell you first hand (I returned 2 Samsungs) they are not, unless you go LED or DLDP. Samsung has great vibrant colors and noticable contrast, BUT they do it artificially through playing with black levels--there is a great article on Toshiba vs. Sony vs. Samsung and Toshiba LCDs came out on top in terms of real lifelike picture reproduction. I noticed the Toshiba is far better at home than in the store and could not be happier with the picture. Once you fine tune where you need it to be, it is crystal clear, bright and sparkling...love the picture.

Sound is fine, for stock speakers on the TV it does the job well.

here lies the issue: You may get the humming sound as other describe. here is why: The backlight is florescent and turned up past 50 through 100 backlight level you will hear ballast/inverter noise. For me it is unbearable, especially in a bedroom. The only way to service this is to replace the entire LCD panel kit...you dont want to do this. So, I am taking mine back in hopes of an exchange for one that does not hum...

The issue is the inverter/ballast. Not all will be the same. Depends how tight they drill down. I'm just crossing my fingers that I find one that will allow me to adjust backlight very high without humming so much...I'll keep trying b/c th epicture is great at any price.

The TV is perfect for a small room (bedroom, dorm, kitchen, etc) and should not be compared to much larger units. The picture is brilliant in HD with vivid colors. Setup was easy. And the sound is ok, not great. But remember, small TV's have small speakers. In this model, two 3watt speakers. With some adjustment, the sound was passable. Decent volumn but no base. Most of the reviews on this model, as well as other small TV's rate sound as mediocre. Not the case. Once you see the fantastic picture, you expect a rich base sound experience to accompany a movie. Get real. You can always add bookshelf speakers. I am very happy with the purchase.

I had this TV for 2 years in my 15 x 16 foot living room. Sat on a large entertainment center that could support the 240lbs it weighed. Was a monster to get in place but I thought "i'll never move it again for a long time." Picture is just incredible and the sound was also very good. I hardly did watch TV as it was and didn't use it alot in the 2 years but always enjoyed showing off the HD picture channels on the TV to friends. One nite w/ my g/f we were watching a DVD and when it was over I went to switch the video mode back to TV and there was no sound. I too had very similiar experience as did James above. I was told by Sony to deal w/ Circuit City since my warranty was out from Sony but still good w/ Circuit city. thank god I bought the extended. The repair company showed up in a few days and looked at it for 30 min, tryin to reset, thinkin forever that it was the mute button or a wire was off on the back. He told me he never saw a sony tv w/ no sound like this. He said "there is only 2 circuit boards in it and it has to be one of them that is bad." so he was gonna order parts. 3 weeks i heard nothing from him and tried callin him w/ no call back. I had to go to circuit city to get an answer and the store manager was very helpful. He found out that the guy didn't call me cause he was waiting on an answer from sony. He had no idea what was wrong w/ my tv so he called sony to ask them. Seems to me that not many service companies want to work on these tv's from what I am reading from reviews. I too must be the one in a million that had a fluke tv, but now they no longer sell this tv and I would have to go w/ the 34" wega. LCD and plasma just don't interest me cause of the problems they too have and there life spans. I am currently after 2 1/2 months of the tv broke waitin on a confirmation number from this "Todds electronics" so I can get my store credit and pick something else out. I will miss this TV alot and hope that the 34 will be close to the same screen size. I have found my tv online still available but circuit city only lets u do store credit. NOw I have to go through moving this Tv again thinkin I wouldn't be doing this for a long time.. LOL IF i could get another one though I would, because it's a great tv and I guess I was just the one in a million w/ a bad one.

After researching and viewing this TV we began shopping and found all stores out and having no idea when they would get new stock in. ADT Electronics offered a great price - paid the shipping and was on time. The TV is all that we had hoped it would be. This model LC32B24U has the sharpest picture we have ever seen on a TV. Mounts on the wall with no problem or sits on a surface. Once hooked up it is easy to navigate and user friendly. We give it 5 stars with gusto.

I bought this for the exclusive purpose of dismantling it from its stand and making a little monitor I could use with a Mac Mini that I brought with me on vacation last year. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that not just the base is plastic space filler, but the majority of the surrounding as well. Perhaps being so much larger than the actual screen helps the speakers, which need space behind them to sound good, but I didn't use the audio feature of this TV at all, really. Seemed good, but I didn't listen enough to rate it.

Instead of as a TV, I used its SVGA plug - a truly awesome feature, Digital TVs shouldn't ever be sold without computer-compatible inputs. To give the electronics some structure other than the screen itself, I joined the two metal endplates of the screen's edge support with a sheet of polycarbonate from Home Depot that I had drilled holes in all the appropriate places, so I could reposition the button circuit board on the back of the unit, with the buttons slightly recessed.

I used SwitchResX to set up the 800x480 resolution; can't remember the exact settings but it was pretty easy to make the custom resolution, way way easier than it ever was in Linux.

End result: a full fledged computer that fit into a box smaller than any laptop does, with power supplies monitor, and even speakers for the beeps. Smaller box than even those new "minis" from Dell or HP can fit into! (laptop minis flat, but broad..) I think it was a Sony picture frame box, actually.

Still works and looks good too, even thru all that abuse. So if you are gonna use it regularly with a computer, and leave it in the case, I'm sure it'd last a long time.
