 Great Buy! But remember... |

A great buy from Amazon! Even after shipping costs I saved nearly $300 over B*st B*y and Circ*it C*ty. I can't believe this unit shipped so fast and in perfect condition to Florida. Ordered late on 25 April and received the unit on 30 April from Fed Ex (estimated delivery date was 29 April - 4 May.) Fed Ex delivery person helped me bring it into my house, which is unusual for curbside shipping. He also told me he could have delivered the TV on 27 April but that was before the shipping date so he held onto it. No sweat though, it was still ahead of schedule.
I'm pleasantly surprised with the TV. One word of advice - don't buy HDMI hi-def cables from a retail vendor or you'll pay 5-6 times more than you need to, like $50 for a 6 ft cable which is ridiculous. It's a digital cable, so the signal is there or it isn't. There's no advantage to buying M*nster C*bles or another overpriced brand. I picked up 12 ft cables from a reputable online vendor for $10 each.
Remember this unit doesn't ship with a TV stand. I have it resting on two end tables until I make my own stand for it.

This is by far, the best 1080P TV purchase I could have made. I am a Toshiba fan from way back and I must say this 65 inch rear projection Talen HDTV is the best!!! I had an issue with the sun bleaching out my old 55 inch Toshiba Theater Veiw Tv but, with this new HDTV black screen I don't have the wash out issue. This TV has it all! You can't ask for a better center peice for your home at a fantastic price. I won't bother you with any tech jargon, just know that Toshiba has all the bases covered!! I purchased a Toshiba HDTV 1080P DVD player and a wonderful Onkyo Stereo that has the 1080P up-conversion with all the HDMI connections you could ask for and now I have a rockin THEATER in my living room because the Talen 65" 1080P. Oh! It has the best clear picture an it makes you feel like you are right there. I am a happy camper indeed!!!
I would also like to say that the company I purchased the TV from was the best an Amazon and that company deserve the best rating possible!!!

I was nervous at first ordering such a huge item, but I have been wanting one of these for a very long time. Over the years I have grown sick and tired of playing video games and watches movies on less than great TVs and decided to do some research and get a big one.
This product is simply amazing. My video games have never looked so rediculously good. I was playing Halo 3 with a friend today and each half of the screen was so huge and crystal clear that it felt like we had our own tv, as if we weren't playing split screen at all. And then I went to single player and this game looks unreal on 1080p. "Holy crap" is the only legitamate description and it's not enough to literate the true grandness of image quality. This thing even makes Playstation 2 and Gamecube games look amazing.
I have my PS3 and 360 connected with HDMI, the Wii and Bose DVD system are on Component and they all look fantastic. Do not be afraid to buy this thing.
Shipping was great. If you buy this thing from 6th avenue, they offer free shipping, which is unheard of for someting so big. I checked another site and they were asking $[...]. Go with amazon and 6th avenue here.
The stand that comes with it is perfect. It looks great, like an extension of the TV and holds all my peripherals nicely with no issue. Plenty of cable room. If you buy this TV you have to buy the official stand or you're shooting yourself in the foot.
Other thoughts: I am sitting about 6 to 8 feet away from the TV. The alleged optimal viewing distance is like 10 feet or something, but that's all nonsense. Sit where you want. The optimal viewing angle for the thing is about 45 degrees. After that it started looking distorted, but I don't know anyone who wants to sit that far off center. You can layout your seating, spreading it out wider and wider as you get away from this thing. So far I have one couch and plan on moving to a different apartment so I can add a few more couches and chairs, each on their own risers to get the real home theatre experience going on.
I brought my friend Wily over today and whooped his butt in some Wii Tennis. The expletives and amazement on the size and quality of this thing never ended. I'm still awestruck. Take the hit to your bank account, go out and get this thing. Screw the Mitsubishi models, they have problems with a loud buzzing noise. Get this thing and get it today. You will not be dissapointed. Your friends and family will love it. Stop debating, start buying.
(Oh and the built in speakers are great too, but I don't use them. I have bose home theater which is simply unreal in all aspects. I hope this review was helpful). |
A Great Value for the price!!!

I was in the market for a bigger screen TV than my current samsung 61in, which is agreat TV. I was considering either buying the Mits or going with a projector and screen. I decided to buy this Toshiba. In one word, "wow."
The PQ looks great in blu ray or HDTV. The sound is a little wanting, but thats why I have the onkyo with Klipsch Senergy Series speakers.
You can't beat this TV for the price. |

| The TV that I purchased is exceptionally nice. It is the same exact product that I looked at in local Electronics shops for quite a bit more. |
