What's great about it:?price What's not so great:?black "I bought this set based on the price and Toshiba name. It is full 1080P. from Bestbuy.com Although this TV is nice for watching BluRay movies through my PC (using an HDCP-compatible video card and a DVI-to-HDMI cable), I also use it for work (I work from home). It failed the first time after about 6 months of use (average of 10 hours/day, 20 days/month, which is pretty heavy, but that still only amounts to 1200 hours of use). from Crutchfield.com Had my eye on a LCD TV for a long time. I saw this one listed for $799, and after reading the reviews on it I knew this was the one! from Tigerdirect.com Purchased this LCD TV on Jul 29, 2008. The picture quality and features were great while it lasted... from Tigerdirect.com All I can say is WOW! The ''kids'' all put in and bought this set for my mom for Christmas, she is in her 70's and her eyesight isn't as good as it used to be so we decided to get her a larger TV. After setting the TV up we programmed the channels and my mom watched her first shows in High-Def. from Tigerdirect.com I bought one of these in April '08 and have been completely happy with it. At $799, it is a very good deal for that TV. I liked the fact that it had 4 HDMI connections as well. from Tigerdirect.com Outstanding picture quality in HD, sound quality is great too. This is a great deal for the price. Easy installation and has all the hook-ups I could want, even for my computer. I've read nothing but good reviews about this set and I'm another happy owner. from Tigerdirect.com This review probably doesn't matter anymore since 42RV530U is not sold any longer. Pros - Great picture, lots of connections (4 HDMI, 1 component, 1 optical digital audio, 1 VGA, etc), easy to operate, menus are good and easily customizable. from Amazon.com I've had this TV since May 08' and I've been very impressed. I use it for everything: TV, Blu-Ray Movies, Games, extended computer screen, etc... from Amazon.com The tv was rated one of the top 42' LCD's on consumer reports and it is definitely living up to that! As for sound we have a surround sound system so we can't say much about the tv sound. from Amazon.com
