Advantages: WOW...too many!!! Performance A*
Disadvantages: How dare you!

...INTRODUCTION Toshiba have always been an excellent brand, along with a brilliant product portfolio (diverse range of products.) This product is a real treat: I use it ti watch HD (High Definition) movies, play games on HD ,watch home-movies I have made on my Toshiba Camileo Pro Camcorder and even use it to surf the net sometimes, instead of my Sony KDL. RANGE OF FEATURES Features of the Toshiba 42Z3030D (Z series): This product has 3 HDMI inputs, PC connectivity, along with 2 Scarts, Component and Composite video inputs, S-video input (in this day and age it is certainly an excellently designed product with all features of a successful LCD tv.) Synergising this product's frame rate allows this product deemed flawless.( A large problem with many LCD tvs is that they do not possess enough frame rates which causes poor... Read review

Advantages: Huge Screen, Price
Disadvantages: Can only be viewed from certain angles

...After deciding my poxy 20 inch tv was too small for the living room I went shopping for a replacement. I visited my local Dixons and spent half an hour looking at the various sets they had on offer. The massive projection TVs caught my eye and I immediately fell in love with the 42” Toshiba. It looked superior to the other projection sets there and was an absolute bargain. I paid £899 for mine but recently have found it selling for £849. It is fantastic value for money, where else are you going to get 42 inches for less then £850? I thought about buying the equivalent plasma set, but at more then three times the price I decided to go for the projection. It was delivered 3 days later and was that big I couldn’t get it out of the box without cutting down the side of it. It took all of 2 minutes to set it up and away we went... Read review

Advantages: Super HD quality, great for gaming
Disadvantages: No HDMI connections, poor built in audio.

...ERAE EPT 42" Plasma flat screen HD ready TV. I bought this TV about 6 months ago after a long 12 year relationship with an old (but ultra reliable) Toshiba 25" 4x3 aspect ratio surround sound unit. (Now resigned to the job of alternative bedroom entertainment!) Strangely, the purchase of this TV was from the same Currys large Dept' store here in Swindon (paaahh) as the old Toshiba I'd bought in 1996, only now the salesmen seem to be more interested in selling the "extended warrantee" load of old rubbish than the item its self… No thanks, I'll stick with the 1-year guarantee it comes with matey. I recon if all these things function for a year without any problems…you got a good un! I'd been thinking of upgrading for a while and as I'd been granted a new credit card + balance transfer @ 0% for the next 12 months, so the temptation... Read review

Advantages: 3 HDMI full 1080p 24 fps
Disadvantages: cant set up a new picture mode for each source

...I have had this LCD TV for 3 months now and am very happy with it. plenty of connections for all your devices old or new ,the picture through a freeview source could be better although DVDs look good but a superb picture if using an HD source. the only thing that lets it down for me is the fact that you cant set up a new picture mode for each source so you will have to compromise and have one picture mode for any device you add in other words for example your DVD and your freeview will both share the same brightness settings and cant be adjusted individually. but that is honestly the only bad thing I can say about this LCD crisp picture and realistic colours. good sound from the in built speakers easy to use and very good looking A great TV, a good buy...

Advantages: Slimline, lightweight, reliable
Disadvantages: Remote control is slow to respond

...can push them against a wall and hey presto, a whole new area of worktop space. So, despite my old analogue working perfectly, it was time to consign it to the pavement outside. I never need worry about it being collected by the bin men. It'll be long gone before then. We can guarantee one of the locals, who regularly scour the streets for unwanted electrical items, will rescue it. Before too long, it'll re-appear down at the local market where someone will make a small profit. After a bit of research, I decided to go for the Toshiba 15" 4:3, LCD, Integrated Digital TV with Freeview. Pricewise, it seemed to be very competitive and its performance was highly rated. I'm very loyal to Toshiba anyway, especially when it comes to televisions and DVD players. I've always found them to be a very trustworthy brand, with few, if any... Read review

Advantages: flat lcd screen, good sound, mounts on wall.
Disadvantages: motion blur watching fast moving objects

...of a player or the ball you get a ghosting or motion blur, this is because the TV only has a 25ms response time. LCD tv's are best under 15ms, but how often would you watch sport on a 14" TV. Teletext is easy to use with the remote which includes fasttext. Another television from Toshiba that they can be proud of, looks good easy to use and fantastic to watch. Thanks for reading...

Advantages: Value for money. 42". High Definition. Sound. Good spec.
Disadvantages: Buzzing sound. Some banding. Black levels. No-name brand

...The TV is assembled near Paris. The parts are from South Korea, who seem to be competing head-on with the Japanese these days. Neovia are relatively unknown, but I always buy on the basis of specification and value for money. So that ruled out spending 4,400 for the same sized Pioneer beside it. A few years ago a 42 inch screen was considered huge, and would have cost ten grand. Now it is becomng more standard. Its about the right size for proper cinema if you are going to sit 8 to 10 feet away. If you've got a bigger screen, then good for you. If you've got a smaller screen, then pull up your chair... Bought this in the 2006 January sales, and saved 600 euros (was 2,300) It just about meets the criteria for a 'HD Ready' TV (most weren't at the time). The set does not have a HD Ready logo on it though. It's native resolution... Read review

Advantages: Easy set-up multi funtion control manuals cater for most languages
Disadvantages: None

.... Setting up the TV using the TV wizard was a breeze it was just a case of choosing which pictures were best suited to you and the sound was just a case of which sounds best. Setting up the TV to receive digital channels was just a case of hooking up the TV up to the aerial and pressing the scan button it found 88 digital TV and radio channels in around 3 minutes. I was also impressed with the TV manuals, you receive 4 books in god knows how many languages. The only gripes I really have with the TV is the auto picture format where it tries to give you the best possible picture at all times so where ever it detects black bars at the top or the sides after a few seconds it adjusts the picture to get rid of them this is easily solved by going into the picture menu and choosing which screen layout suits you best. Also with it being LCD you get some... Read review

Advantages: Looks good with good picture and sound quality.
Disadvantages: Big and bulky at the back.

...of functions that I probably would'nt use and would only leave me confused, so thats why I chose this one. This is a 42 inch rear projection TV with 100Hz processing and is also a CRT model (Cathode Ray Tube) Not exactly sure what CRT means but these models will give better picture and colour quality and a longer life-span than an LCD or Plasma screen, It comes in a subtle metalic silver colour and has Teletext with fast text, the remote control is the same silver colour and is very easy to use and understand, Looking at the front of the TV, there is only one press button for on/off or standby, apart from that the front is flush with no other buttons. After delivery, setting up was easy enough, once I accessed the on screen menu I was given step by step instructions and found them very easy to follow. The screen on this TV is massive...

Advantages: Reliable, Well Made, Great features
Disadvantages: Older technology

...after a year look blemished and the screens tend to wobble around as hinges start to give up. But mine is still looking good as it was the day I got it. I had a Sony vaio previously and had nothing but problems. The next laptop I buy will defiantly be an IBM. I used to see Hundreds of laptops a day as I used to repair and built spec laptops for siemens for use in large corporations and I have sent 1000 of IBM T42's out and also Toshibas and Compaq's. Every month we would receive hundreds of Compaq's and Toshibas for repair I think I only repaired two IBM T42 one a key had fallen off and the Other the screen had been smashed by standing on it. That's what caused me to buy one. A lot of my friends have bought cheap laptops from supermarkets recently with higher speed processors and large specs and had nothing but problems and they seem...
