Toshiba 40XV645U I'm so glad I bought this tv

I bought this tv last week and so far have really been satisfied. I had a toshiba for 11 years before this one, and never had a problem with it, so while I didn't buy this tv solely because it was a Toshiba, but it certainly was a benefit.

Here's the scoop on the tv as far as I can tell.
Pros: The tv is 120Hz and is the most affordable lcd tv this size with that type of Hz. Here's why that's important. If you like to watch sports or play video games, the lower the number is in Hz the slower the processer is in transferring the movement on the screen. But the higher the HZ the faster it will go. 60Hz is available and is less expensive, but if you can afford the 120Hz you should get it, and with this toshiba you can.

Another pro is the ease in set-up. You literally plug it in, turn it on, answer a few easy questions, and you're done.

It also looks cool, the toshiba light up on the front has absolutly no value to the picture, but it looks way cool.

The Cons:
The sound is the biggest liability to the TV. If you plan to use a sound system to compliment the tv then this is not an issue, but if you plan to use the installed speakers in the TV, you will notice that the lower tones are hard for Toshiba(It distorts them, a little). This is why I gave the tv 4 instead of 5 stars.

The remote isn't as flashy as the samsung, but it is functional and has a pretty cool glow in the dark feature.

In short,, if you are on a budget but you really want a good lcd tv at least 40 inches then this is a GREAT buy. If money is no object then you should probably look at the Samsung led tv's(they are amazing, but cost 3 times as much money)
