You are not the first person on this planet to ask this question, believe me. Without further ado here is the answer. Yes, buying a Toshiba is a good decision. Take for example Toshiba REGZA 37HL67 a 37-inch 720p LCD HDTV that received plenty of good consumer reviews thanks to it's excellent display quality even though it is a mere 720p LCD instead of a full HD (1080p) TV. And it's not just the picture. This TV is easy to setup, the menu navigation is intuitive, the built-in audio is pretty good and the user manual is complete. The price is also very reasonable which is a strong pulling factor for people who just can't justify spending thousands of dollars for an LCD TV.

Another excellent example is the Toshiba REGZA 42RV530U 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV. Curious just how good it is? Take a look at this list of some of it's strong points :

* Crisp and clear picture even on default settings. This is a good thing for those of you who don't want to be troubled with the tweaking the settings.
* HD channels and Blu-ray movies look awesome. Great picture for upconverted DVD and standard definition channels.
* For those who think the picture quality can be improved this set provide easy setup with plenty of tweaking options.
* Pretty good remote and easy to navigate menus.
* Aesthetically appealing design.
* Great price! For a 42-inch 1080p HDTV the $1,100 price tag is a bargain.
* Good audio quality with sound leveling feature.
* Very useful mute and half-mute feature
* A very useful game mode.
* Wide range of connections. 4 HDMI, 2 component, 2 composite, 1 S video, 1 VGA and 1 optical audio out.

Does Toshiba Always Make Good LCD HDTV?

Certainly not. Just like any other gadgets made by any other manufacturers there are always some bad apples in a barrel of good ones. As for Toshiba the 9HLV87 19-Inch LCD HDTV is clearly one of the bad apples. Crappy picture quality for standard channels, wacky volume settings for the built-in DVD player, immensely difficult menu system and the huge remote control are just some griefs customers discovered from this set.

Conclusion

Though most Toshiba LCD TV are good a few of them are loosers. So, if you want to get yourself a Toshiba HDTV make sure you read the consumer reviews before you make your buying decision. What people think as a good/bad point may not be such a big deal for you. Just remember that your own personal preferences are the most important ones.
