Pros: Sharp picture, great sound,
Cons: no selectable enhanced mode.

Ahh.... the elusive Flat Screen TV. No longer when sitting at the side of the TV do I have to ask my TV watching pal, "Hey, what happened on that side of the screen? Did he get shot or what?" No longer will I have to put pillows in
the windows to...

Pros: Beautiful design, beautiful picture, picture geometry is right on! Cheaper than a Sony.

Pros: Awesome color and clarity. 2 S-video inputs, component. Sound is amazing for built-in speakers.

I purchased this TV from Best Buy in Florida. I was looking for a 27 inch TV specifically for my bedroom. Compared to other models on the floor, the 27AF41 stood out as far as color and clarity.

Once I took the TV home, however, I noticed...

Pros: Great picture and plenty of inputs
Cons: Built-in speakers underpowered

Picture

The picture on the Toshiba flat screen TVs looked better to me than the Panasonic Tau or Sony Wega. The scan lines (horizontal bands making up the picture) were far less visible on the Toshiba than the other brands....

Pros: Excellent picture, Lots of input options, Attractive cabinet.
Cons: Standard speakers could be a bit more beefy.

When purchasing a new TV and keeping value in mind ; we thought "should we go for a larger screen at a so-so quality or put the same money into a high quality smaller screen [27inch]?". We decided on the latter...and in this model we think we found a...

Pros: picture quality, incredible sound
Cons: there aren't any

This is an awesome TV. The picture and color quality is really nice. There is also a very small to no amount of glare on the screen. I found it really easy to set up, install and use and it only took about 15 mins. All of the equipment that I already...

Pros: don't know since it stopped working on the 2nd day
Cons: The picture tube got broken right away,took 5 months to get a replacement.

The picture tube got broken after 2 days.
The people from Toshiba shop spent 2 weeks investigating the problem.
I spent hours on the phone with customer service.
They did not have it in stock, said had to order it from Japan.
After...

Pros: Very good picture, inexpensive compared to the wega.
Cons: Slight distortion in the bottom left and right corners

My search for televisions was quickly narrowed down to the Sony Wega and the Toshiba. Both have a bright picture, but the Toshiba seemed to have better picture resolution than the Sony and was significantly less expensive.

The television is...

27 inch picture tube seems larger than other conventional TVs due to silver finished housing unit. Picture is very sharp without distortion as reported in other reviews. Flat screen improves viewing in brightly lighted areas. Access port for camcorder is very convenient in front of TV. Lacks outlet for a headphone set which would be desirable for use of the TV without disturbing others.
