Previous Setup: Sony Wega 36 + basic cable for locals / direct tv for everything else + tivo + Bose Lifestyle 1-2 System for sound.
Current Setup: Sony 52XBr6 + direct tv dvr (dual channel) for everything including local channels + Bose Lifestyle 1-2 System for sound + Ethernet connection to the direct tv dvr for on demand service. Upgrading the satellite dish for HD capability also got us a dish that could handle local signals.
Yet to do for setup: Use the network features of the set and add a blue ray player. Since we rarely used the dvd or vhs that were connected to the Sony Wega, a blue ray is a low priority. We will probably never use the tv for playing games.
Delivery: Oustanding. Ordered through Amazon and received the set in 5 business days. One notice from Amazon when the set shipped and would be at my house, and one notice from the delivery company about delivery time. I did nothing but open the door for the delivery folks. They took care of the unpacking and setting

This TV provides a great value for what your pay. I bought it on amazon for 700, and not only was it the cheapest option I could find, it has plenty of pros that put it over almost every TV.
I was pro LCD for a time (thought it was the way of the future). After looking, reading reviews, I honestly can't find a single reason to choose another TV. LCDs have a longer life span, usually weight a bit less, and possibly better color. Plasmas have a better speed (480 hz), darker black level, better contrast, better viewing angle, and better pricing. Therefore, plasmas have an overall edge in picture quality (especially if you go dollar for dollar on pricing).
I was worried about the heat a plasma may generate. My 26" LCD Olevia raises the room temperature a couple of degrees, my plasma doesn't. Big plus. Screen doesn't feel hot either. CEVA delivery was excellent, they take all the worry about you screwing up moving and installing the TV. Extremely timely deliver too.
Oh, 720p vs

I always read customer reviews before purchasing a product, and before I bought this Samsung TV, I looked at all customer reviews for all 22" flat screen TVs. I own another small Samsung and it works very well in the kitchen. What I liked most about it was the clear picture and the footprint and how little space it occupied, so I decided that another Samsung would be a good choice. Ignoring the warning echos in other reviews, I thought this would be the ideal TV.
What other reviewers mentioned was absoutely on target. Information about the channel or anything else is so small and stays on the screen so briefly, that it is almost impossible to read. Worst display I have ever seen. I discovered that if you push the "info" button the display remains on the screen, but I have to cross the room to read it, as the print is still very small. What were they thinking when they designed this display?
Further, other reviews warned that if you were not directly sitting in front of the TV, you

Bought this TV on cyber Monday and have been pleased with the performance so far. The price is now $25 less than when I purchased it and I would expect it to continue to go lower. Since Amazon no longer does price adjustments, saavy shoppers could do better by waiting.

Ours was an early Christmas present. It was simple to un-box and set up.
Even after connecting it to our Stereo, Digital Cable, VHS player and a DVD/CD changer, we have inputs to spare.
The front panel input for Picture Chips got a workout when we hosted a Family Christmas.
We are "empty nesters", our sons and their wives made it here for the Holiday. They were delighted to share their pictures on a 42 inch screen.
Next Time; they'll bring along their Game Systems.
I doubt that WE will outgrown this set.

We expected to be blown away by the Sony XBR6, especially since so many people rank it even with or better than the Samsung 750. And the picture is great - when you get all the adjustments fine tuned. The Steelers trouncing of the Browns game was gorgeous! We highly recommend it but with a few cautions:
- Not the set for the "set it and forget it" type. Many adjustments required but it is beautiful when you get done.
- Sound. We heard many complaints about the sound from LCD sets so picked the XBR6 specifically because it has an internal subwoofer. But we found the subwoofer made little difference even when set to maximum, especially if you put the TV in a cabinet where the sound gets trapped inside. We fixed this by hooking up an external powered subwoofer to the sound output jacks on the rear of the set. Made a phenomenal difference - I highly recommend this if you can't use a surround sound receiver. And you can't do it on the Samsung (see below).
- Network upgrades. Features

My only complaint is the fact it seems to take awhile to get the picture/sound once you turn the television on. It took very little time to receive the set once ordered, and I am very pleased with the quality of the picture. I had been shopping for a Sharp television and could not find another source which could come close to the price I got on Overstock.

This was a gift for my parents and I was very satisfied with the Toshiba product/brand and the overstock.com delivery. The pricing was good. The delivery was very quick and the overall process was very easy.

I really love this TV! I compared it to the Samsung, which had some higher revews, but when I saw them side-by-side, I really liked this better. The setup was intuitive, and my jaw dropped when I saw the Blu-Ray picture on it. I was happy with the HD feed, but the Blu-Rays take it to the next level. Love the four HDMI inputs, too -- need them!

My husband and I bought this for our Christmas gift to each other....and we JUST LOVE IT!! . Great picture quality and wonderful sound! We added two speakers and have a great surround sound! Just the right size for medium size room...I would recomend this to any one in the market for a flat pannel TV at a great price. Thank you Overstock!

It is a very good tv thus far. I would have had to pay much more for other brands and would have gotten the same quality reception. I would recommend it to anybody.

This is a great VCR/DVD combo with built in tuner but a little problematic to set up to the TV. It took many tries to get it to work properly and was frustrating but once set up it is good. The DVR taping is very complicated but we mostly bought it for VCR recording and playback while watching another channel on the TV. Would recommend as it is hard to find VCR's on the market now with a tuner and it seems to be working properly.

This is a great product. Shipping was marvelous -very fast, I ordered this parti'cular size because of the size limitations of my cabinet. The installation was so simple - when I ordered it, I didn't realize it would read my SD cards - neat feature. The price was super and I loved the delivery to my house without having to lug it home myself and also not having to drive 110 miles to the nearest store handling a variety of TVs. Thanks Overstock.....

Picture and sound is very good. I've only had it a couple of weeks, but so far. so good. The only problem I had was
a remote that had sticking buttons. When I reported this problem, Overstock sent me a replacement..

After looking for an HDTV for quite a while, it became clear that the XBR was the way to go. Nobody beat Amazon on price plus free delivery. Unfortunately, as far as the delivery is concerned, you get what you pay for. I ordered the TV and then about the time the delivery was to have occurred, it didn't. I contacted Amazon- who were very responsive and they then contacted the delivery company and were told that they had been trying to contact me (not true) to arrange a time and day. I then contacted them directly and scheduled the "white glove" delivery. By the way, white glove must mean a filthy truck, a giant dirty box dragged across your floor onto a carpet leaving dirt everywhere and no unpacking or removal of box or set up. One guy, one truck, dragging a giant box.
Now, the good news is that the TV is spectacular and a breeze to set up even for a complete technophobe like me. Also worth mentioning is that Amazon lowered the price the day after I ordered the TV and they refunded

I have had this now for a little over two weeks, and am blown away by the picture quality. The reviewer who complained about only one rf antenna input needs to get a new set top box from the cable company or change to a new provider. I am subscribed to Verizon FIOS in the Maryland suburbs, and their set top box for HD has multiple outputs including an HDMI. This TV has multiple inputs, including a single RF input for off the air or cable; three older yellow, red and white types; two component inputs, 4 HDMI inputs plus a PC and DMeX input. This should cover everyone's needs. The remote will control up to 4 devices including Verizon's STB, and you can program it tell you what device you are connecting.
Overall, I was pleased with the white glove delivery. The CEVA company out of Odenton said they would deliver it between 10 and 3, but the driver didn't arrive until 5. In his defense, he said that this was the last of his 22 appointments for that day. He came in and helped to move

I had a generic DVR from my caable company for several years before I decided to make the leap to TiVo, and I'm glad I did. I am seriously in love with this machine. I'm even considering marriage, though I think such a union would only be legal in Massachusetts.
Let me begin by saying that a DVR (regardless of the brand) will change the way you watch TV. And if you have one with a dual tuner, it means you never have to choose between two favorite competing shows. As a result, I pretty much stopped watching "live" TV years ago. With a DVR you can just record everything, save it for later, and then scan through the commercials.
And the beautiful thing about the remote with this unit (not sure if this is true all TiVo remotes) is that you can scan through the ads at three different speeds. When you hit play, it automatically backs up the recording several seconds, This is great if you overshoot the end of the commercials. It can be annoying if you're trying to pinpoint a very specific scene

I bought this television about a month ago after doing extensive research on HDTVs. If you're in the same boat, I'm writing this review to try to help out. I couldn't find a ton of info about this TV online...it's out there, but you do have to dig a bit...so when it came down to it, customer reviews ended up being very helpful.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and think the quality of the product and the value it offers are worth a look. Getting right down to it:
The Good Stuff:
1)This television offers a very, very good picture. And let's face it, when it comes to buying an HDTV, this is the absolute most important thing you need to concern yourself with. I spent over two hours on two different days in three different Best Buys comparing HD pictures on comparable models of various brands of HDTVs, and I was very pleased with the Toshiba. And as a side note to buyers who are not necessarily looking at this model, but just as a sheer comparison, it will be hard to go wrong
