Good: overall cosmetic design
Bad: shadow line down the middle of the screen and poor reception of the Hand Control.
Comment: My set is 2.5 yrd old and has developed a shadow line down the middle. It is not peculiar to my set as this fault hasn been logged in other forums.
Toshiba customer services do not reply to any request for information.
I would expect better after spending £1500.

Good: HD is great
Bad: The faint black line down the middle of the screen
Comment: I agree Not great for standard-definition viewing, but it comes into its own with hi-def. I have had this set since october 2006 with no problems, what I have found is after 6 to 9 months you will start to see the faint black line down the middle of the screen just search on the web you will find a lot of people have the same problem, also the 42/47 inch are now discontinued.
(surprise, surprise). Have tried to email toshiba but you get no reply.

Good: Simple to use, unbelievable picture with SKY HD! Awesome value only 1080 for the £'s
Bad: Remote a bit lightweight, but I use a universal anyway
Comment: You wont be disappointed, superb value for money, my best money spent in 2006. So happy I felt compelled to give my 1st review ever. Excellent coupled with Sky HD! The only 1080 for the money and really shows. Very slick looking set from cutting edge Japanese TV technology leader. Finish your research now, this is the one!

Good: Simple operation, unobtrusive in a medium-sized living room. Great sound system.
Bad: I agree not the best for normal picture viewing. I would, however, temper this remark with the following point. I am not a techno geek and therfore the standard picture quality meets with my general approval.
Comment: As stated I am not a geek and am rating this TV as a Mr Average. When viewing a DVD the viewing experience is a joy; the quality of picture is great. I have puchaced an HDMI-capable DVD player and am looking forward to installing it (yet to arrive).
Overall I am very satisfied with my purchace and would not hesitate in recommending this TV.

Good: Full Hi-Def, sleek looks, right price if you shop around
Bad: Trying to get a suitable all-singing, all-dancing up-scaling DVD player to suit current devices and this TV
Comment: The extra 2 inches seems to really appeal (compared to the likes of the 40-inch SONY 1080i model).
The price is on the ball in terms of not weeping when, next year, Double Hi-Def (Pure Def) Screens come alive to take over our DVD collections.
