Toshiba 40RV525U 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review

I was in the market for a HD 1080p 40 in min TV. After much researching it came down to this model and 2 Samsungs. While I knew I could trust Samsung from the name, after reading many reviews it seemed that you are basically paying an extra 0 or so just for that name. To me Toshiba is a good brand name as well, so I didn't think I would be gambling anyway.

I bought my TV at Best Buy using the 0 price match on Amazon at the time (12/31/09). So far after owning this TV for one week I am thoroughly pleased with it. It happens to fit perfectly into my 2 bedroom apartment living room and I feel the size is pretty much perfect for the place and seating distance.

The only issues I have had so far are minor. The remote for the DirecTV works after programming it to the TV, but for some reason the power button doesn't turn off the TV, so the TV remote is still somewhat necessary. The only other thing I have noticed is that after changing the "pic size" to a different format it resets to the default after turning off the TV and turning it back on. I'm not sure if there is any way to set that to a new default, but either way it's only a minor nuisance.

My closing statement is that if you are in the market for a TV upgrade, but don't want to go all out, then get this TV. Another thing is that if you are going to want a higher level TV, then you should really be getting an LED and shelling out the big bucks. If you are getting one in the mean time that isn't so high priced to hold you over (older technology like regular LCD or Plasma) then I can think of no better way to spend your money.
