Very nice HD TV in a smaller size
580980
I needed to replace the tv in the master bedroom.  Since the tv needed to sit on an antique dresser, a 26" was a bit too big and I started looking for smaller models.  I am extremely pleased with this television!  The picture is great, the automatic light adjustment is quite useful since sometimes I watch with the lights on and sometimes with them off, and the black cabinet is much nicer than the rpevious silver ones (I waited several months to be able to purchase this in the black instead of the previous model in the silver).

Two drawbacks are the lack of a second HDMI connection, and because of the way my digital cable and other units had to be connected, some of the television features (e.g. savingfavorite digital and analog channels) are not functional (perhaps, however, there is an alternate way of connecting that would eliminate this problem).

I was trying to find the best 65" TV that I could find for under $1,500 and I am definitely happy with this purchase.  The picture quality for HD and 4K programs is fantastic now that I've tweaked a few of the settings (MotionFlow set to "Standard," Cinemotion set to "Low").  I can't speak for the sound quality as I have it running through a surround sound receiver.  It's not a perfect TV - as some note there is some darkening in the corners, and I'm guessing the blacks could be blacker (but the side angle view is good, as expected with an IPS panel).  But TV looks great whether watching football, playing video games, or watching Netflix (which has a convenient button on the remote).  Delivery guys who brought the TV did a good job and had it up and running quickly.  All around very happy with this TV.

I purchased this 24 inch TV as a replacement for a three year old VIZIO, 19 inch LCD model. While the old set was still working fine, I was enticed to this newer model because it was the same height as my older model and would therefore fit into our kitchen nook cabinet. The thin frame and low profile is a nice feature of this new model. In comparing the picture and audio quality, the new set is vastly superior.  We use a roof-top antenna and pick up signals from about 40 miles away. Picture color and clarity are superb, and the audio is amazingly good in both quality and loudness. It is obvious that LCD TV's have made major improvements in the past five years, and this set is definitely at the leading edge.  I am thoroughly pleased with the set.

I wanted a TV for the kitchen, and did not want it to overwhelm the space.  Very few under-19" available, at any price.  Since this one is so reasonable,  it was a pleasant surprise to see how good the picture is, hooked to cable.  Sharper than my larger TV's!
Sound quality is good, not for concert-quality, but no one should expect that from this level product.  Set up was a breeze.  For a small serviceable TV, you won't find better.

I wanted to fit the maximum size TV image in a small space. The Toshiba REGZA super-narrow bezel does that with the tiny frame surrounding the screen. In effect, I was able to fit a 40 inch TV in a space that would typically fit only a 37 inch TV. I read several indepedent reviews of the Toshiba and learned that the image quality and features matched the top-reviewed LCD HDTVs. I am very pleased with the image quality and performance of the TV. I have a 42 inch Samsung plasma, and the image quality of the Toshiba is superior.

The only real complaint I have is a slight delay in moving channels up and down (rather than instantly changing the channel).

I really like this tv but it's a bit slow in processing -- like an old PC laptop slow.

Surround sound is actually really lovely. Picture is gorgeous. Love the small trim around the screen.

but honestly...I wish I'd sprung for the 70inch.

THIS TV IS ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS IN HD.  I CAN'T SAY MUCH ABOUT REGULAR DIGITAL TV STATIONS, I DON'T THINK THEY LOOK TOO GREAT.  BUT, THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE HD LOOK ALL THE BETTER ON THIS TV. THE MENUS ARE A CINCH TO NAVIGATE AND I LOVE THE SLEEK BLACK CASING THE TV IS IN. THE SOUND ON THE OTHER HAND IS NOTHING TO BRAG ABOUT ALTHOUGH I HAVE MINE HOOKED UP TO SORROUND SOUND, SO NO PROBLEM THERE. GOOD VALUE FOR THE MONEY

Let me clarify that this is a 1080p and not a 720p.  Picture quality on HD channels is not quite as good as my Samsung 37" 720p, but for a small TV that is used in the bedroom this is very adequate at a very reasonable price.  My only criticism is that the base does not swivel like on the larger models.

I got this TV about a year ago, and whilst everyone I know is always trying to buy a bigger TV, I'm happy with this little one. I'm one of those people who is guilty of leaving the TV on a LOT, while I'm working on other projects. It is just nice to have something to listen to. Because of the small size of this TV, it does not draw much energy (leaving it on is no big deal). It can also be taken to any location with no hassle whatsoever.

The TV has continued working perfectly since I got it. I can't rate the remote control, because I've never even taken it out of the box. The only extra features I could have asked for on this thing would be the ability to turn the screen off and just have the audio, and the ability to use it as a digital picture frame. I saw a TV this size that served as a picture frame, but it was quite a bit bulkier.

This TV works perfectly in a smaller room.  It has bright, crisp colors. It is very portable and extremely light. Set up was a breeze.  Recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade. Good Job Samsung!

That being said. Be sure on the main product page below, it says that it is shipped from and sold by amazon.com. If it isn't, then it will most likely not be an authorized dealer and it won't carry the manufacturer warranty.

I thoroughly researched my first HDTV purchase, settling on a 34" widescreen for my small space, not to mention the cheaper price for these sets, plus their reputed superior picture. I bought this Toshiba sight unseen, so I was a little nervous about the picture quality. Once I got it a couple of days ago I was quite impressed. I have both digital satellite (DISH) and basic cable, and even the cable looks great. One thing that did bother me was the grey bars on the side of the screen when watching a 4:3 standard TV source (SAT, CBL). The manual warns that burn in caused by these bars is not covered under warranty. So why the heck didn't they make the bars black, which don't pose the same kind of risk? Fortunately, the Toshiba set offers a multitude of modes to stretch the 4:3 image to fill the whole 16:9. And much to my delight, the image doesn't appear badly distorted. In fact, in many instances, it almost looks more natural, as if that's the way it was originally filmed. Mind you, I don't yet have an HDTV source.

Movies on DVD are spectacular. The TV upconverts the 480p signal from a progressive scan DVD player to either 540p or 1080i.

I was also impressed with the sound from the TV's built-in speakers. In fact, at one point when I was testing them, I even forgot that I was getting the sound from the TV rather from my audio receiver, which is how I'll normally watch it.

PROS: connectivity options, picture quality, stylish design (small footprint, 33 1/2 in. wide, with speakers below screen), stretching modes, sound from built-in speakers, lighted remote.

CONS: grey bars for 4:3 sources and POP; minor geometry problems; upconversion of standard TV (480i) to 1080i is automatic (can't deactivate it) and may make some programs look "shimmery" esp on basic cable.

On a side note: the first set I got through the Amazon marketplace retailer BeachAudio arrived busted up. I refused delivery, called BeachAudio, and they had a replacement out to me in 3 days. Excellent customer service. It sometimes pays to go with an established online retailer.

Updated 12/12/04: I recently saw the following posting on AVSforum.com: "The grey is used by Toshiba to delay burn in, as it uses the pixels underneath the grey, rather than leaving them not activated or activated with black." At any rate, I suggest not letting the grey bar issue effect your decision.

I purchased this small screen Proscan to replace an old and tired little TV that had previously resided  in our kitchen.
  I love the thin flat screen this new unit provided me. My older "kitchen sized" TV was more than12" deep and had a 9 inch screen viewing area, compared to my Proscan with it's 15" screen.
  The sound quality produced on this Proscan TV is adequate. The  cabinet of my previous TV was deeper and, consequently provided more room for 2 larger stereo speakers. The sound is a little flat on my Proscan, but that was to be expected from it's 1 inch + cabinet depth.
  I am however, quite pleased with the overall good performance and great picture quality of this little TV.
  I've only had this Proscan TV a short time and as yet haven't used the provided DVD player.  I'm sure I'll be satisfied with this feature, as well.

This tv has a nice, clear picture and the size is perfect for a small room. It was easy to set up. It has USB and two HDMI ports so I'll be testing out the Amazon Fire stick hoping to get rid of my cable subscription.

Nice high Def television for small spaces. Great in a guest room or dorm....

This is a great TV. I have lived in a dorm or rented a bedroom from a house and just had a 32in TV for the past few years. However, I recently moved into an apartment with my fianc&eacute;, and a 32in TV in the living room looked pretty small. We decided to look around and found this bad boy. This 42in TV is great for an apartment or a small living room. Not to small, not to big, just perfect. The TV itself looks sleek and high-tech, I really like the stands it sits on. As for the display, it is beautiful. Since I bought it I watched a few HD Netflix shows and it looked amazing. The PS3 and xbox 360 looked great on it as well. I will soon get a PS4, and I am sure that will look outstanding on this TV. All in all it was a great TV at a great price.

I needed a small tv for my office and this size was perfect.  I asked a friend who works in the audio/video field, and he was not positive about the tv.  I ordered it anyway and am so glad I did; the picture is great and clear.  It has great picture quality and is just the right size for my office.  If you are looking for a small tv with a great picture this is the one you need.

I was concerned due to the low price compared to other TV's this size, but I am very happy with this unit. I was focused on the Roku software so I would not have to purchase another device for streaming, hopefully well into the future.
My only issue is the image at a decent viewing angle is not as nice as the 10 year old flat panel it replaced, with that said, the thinner footprint, reduced energy usage, built in streaming software, and 4K viewing more than makeup for this small issue that only comes into play when I'm trying to watch something from the kitchen.
