Customer Reviews

Bad product with worse services
I purchased this product from Costco. It was borken the third days. I called two of their service centers to look at it. Both recommend me to exchange for a new one. Since I have to pay the delivery (Costco doesn't delivery big item TV), I called Toshiba customer support and try to get the refund for the delivery. They just refused and their attitude was very bad. Since I got a defective product up front and I just want to exchange for the same product, it is fair to ask for refund for the delivery. Toshiba support doesn't want to even accommendate this. It is very bad customer relationship management and their attitude is just arrogant. I won't recommend this product based on my experience with both the product and its services.

WARNING Not a True Widescreen TV!!!!
They may mention 16:9, but it's actually a 4:3 set that can play 16:9 on it. Heck my 32 inch tube can do that. I can't stand when they put deceptive information on product descriptions.

Picture Great...TV..not so much.
The picture on this television was very nice. I state that the picture was great but the TV..not so much. I had 3 different Toshiba 50" HDTVs delivered to my house. All three of which had the same damage. The bottom right and left corners of the screen encasement were cracked in half. I gave the rating of 3 because the TV picture I enjoyed, but it is hard to actually enjoy a 1500 dollar television when it is cosmetically flawed everytime it shows up at my door.
