Bought their 42" Regza last year for around $1,100. Just bought this newer (updated) version on sale for $798 locally (American TV). Great value. Excellent all around. 720p? Have seen their 1080p Regza and can't tell the difference. Connections were not a concern for me as it is to be used JUST with HD satellite.

Doubtless the switch to all 1080p has affected the marketplace and the 720's are being dumped. My old eyes will never know the difference on a 42 inch set.

I recently purchased a Toshiba 42AV500U 42" LCD Flat Panel Television, and I was blown away by the performance and quality. Every channel looks good, and the HD channels are spectacular. The definition is sharp, the color is rich and the sound is crystal clear. I'm considering buying a 26" for the bedroom, and will definitely look at Toshiba first. I am very happy with this television, and for those who want high quality, a nice ample screen size and are on a budget, let me highly recommend this television as the one to own.

5 Stars!

I've had this tv for a few weeks now and am very pleased. I've had more expensive LCDs previously (Sony and Samsung), and personally I don't notice a difference in quality. Easy to use features, sound is good, looks good. Only downfall is that there are only 2HDMI inputs.

This TV is amazing. We own 3 Toshiba's. 2 of the 26" Regzas and this new model. It has a great sound system, and a beautiful picture. I would definitely recommend this TV to anyone.

Pros:Great TV.Excellent Picture and Sound.Great Price.Excellent Delivery.Universal, easy to program, remote control (I programmed 2 devices in les than 5 min).I mounted it on the wall using a Peerles Universal Tilting Mount, also very good.
Cons: None so far.
