I was looking for a replacement tv/dvd combo for our small travel trailer, and being historically a Toshiba TV fan, initially purchased a Toshiba 19LV61k, the latest model in basically the same such combo Toshiba has been producing for a number of years. I took it back immediately - great picture, but tiny speakers with volume so low that you could not hear what people were saying on screen from 3 feet away, even when you had it cranked to the max. Moreover, Toshiba provided no output for an auxiliary speaker system (other than a headphone outlet). After a lot of research, I purchased this Sharp. Unfortunately for me, Amazon did not have it at the time. The current Amazon price of $349.99 with free shipping beats what I paid ABC Warehouse by about twenty bucks (ABC is a great alternative retailer though). In any event, this combo is light as a feather, has a great picture, and ample volume. The model was introduced in January, 2009, and has all the current bells and whistles, including the option of surround sound (toggle it from the audio sub-menu; you will like it) and a coaxial audio output. So far (one month from purchase), we like the combo immensely, and would recommend it. From my research on line and examining different sets at Best Buy and other retail stores, I did not find a better alternative to this tv/dvdcombo in its size range, regardless of cost.
As of April 8, 2010, still going strong and giving good service

There seems to be some confusion whether or not the T220HD can be wall mounted. Granted it does not have the VESA holes but SamsungParts has a wall mount adapter WMB1900T 19-22 VESA 100X100 bracket. This adapter makes it easy to wall mount the T220HD. I don't understand why Amazon doesn't show this item as an accessory for the T220/T220HD.

This is a better than average set. The feature set is excellent 4xHDMI etc.
Compared to the VU42 (which we had also), this has a nicer picture and much more control through the menus for Picture and Sound tweaking.
The HDMI worked perfectly with our laptops and good screen controls allows you to adjust margins to use the full screen.
I've had many HD sets over the years, for the money this is a good deal.
Tuner Tip: In our area, Cable doesn't scramble many digital channels, but many are just sound, duplicates or unwanted. This set seems to have a cap of 500+ channels, because while we could tune in more channels, The Channel skip did not show them. But this set has "Partial channel search", which allowed us to manually seek ranges of channels and customize the channels the way we wanted. The VU did not have this and forced us to flip through 50 or so "bad" channels with no way to remove them.

This TV is 120Hz...the info contained in the review about 60Hz is incorrect. I bought this TV elsewhere on Black Friday and cannot be more pleased with the image and overall quality of this LG. This television litterally makes almost everything you watch on it appear to be happening right in front of you. I original bought 4 other televisions on BF (a 26" Vizio LED, a Toshiba 40" LCD and a Samsung 46" LCD) and this had the best picture quality of them all...so much so that I returned the other two larger TVs. The Toshiba had a brighter picture but couldn't match the "right there" look of the LG. The Samsung had a nice picture quality but the backlight couldn't bring up the details as well as the LG in darker scenes, but overall it had an excellent picture. In the end though the LG won based on the eveness of the color. So to summarize...2 of these LGs and a 26" Vizio LED later (ironically the LG remote works for this TV and vice versa - LG probably makes the panel and tuner for Vizio)...I couldn't be happier!

LG 42SL90 42-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV, Glossy Black Review

LG 42SL90 42-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV, Glossy Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After extensive research and visits to video stores, we chose the 42SL90 for several reasons - stunning HD quality, LED technology (3,000,000 to 1 contrast ratio), small form factor, and excellent price/value. We were limited in size by our entertainment center - most other 42 inch sets were too wide, but the form factor of the 42SL90 is so svelte that it fits perfectly. After comparing 40 inch sets with 42 inch sets, the extra 2 inches of real estate was quite a noticeable improvement.
The HD picture on this set is absolutely stunning, much better than our Sony LCD XBR that sits in another room. We watch the SL90 from a distance of 10 feet and the size is perfect. All the bells and whistles have so far worked flawlessly. Blu Ray, DVDs, HD Roku, and HD cable look fantastic. Standard Def is actually watchable, again better than the Sony XBR.
The set comes with two remotes - a beautiful backlit model and a simpler model with just the basic functions. The menu system is easily the best I have ever used. Very intuitive and simple to use. The picture adjustments are extremely extensive. A picture wizard is included to calibrate to your own tastes. If you can't find an optimum setting with this set, you should not be watching TV. The color accuracy appears to be spot on out of the box.
Given its thin 1.15 inch depth, the sound is better than I expected. I have yet to turn it up past the 50% volume level. Adjustments for bass, treble, and surround sound. And the Clear Voice II function works great. Hook the set up to a sound system and it really shines. The only cons so far (and we knew about these going in) - no analog audio out (optical only) and no PIP. I purchased a Gefen Dolby optical converter that allows the SL90 to work flawlessly with our legacy sound system.
We have the SL90 hooked up to an LG BD390 Blu Ray player, so we also have full wireless access to services such as Netflix, Vudu, and YouTube via the Blu ray player. The 42SL90 also includes LG's Simplelink Technology. So, when you pop a DVD into the LG Blu Ray player, the SL90 turns itself on and automatically switches to the DVD player input, ready to play your DVD! If the set is already on, it will still switch to the DVD input automatically.
Highly recommend the 42SL90. It is a stunning set to watch and easily the best looking set when turned off too. In fact, the new 2010 high-end Sony sets have copied LG's "borderless" design concept exactly, renaming the Sony design "monolithic" - quite a compliment indeed.

Panasonic VIERA G10 Series TC-P42G10 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV Review

Panasonic VIERA G10 Series TC-P42G10 42-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is based on my experience with the TC-P50G10, which is identical to P42 but with a larger screen. I bought it three weeks ago, and am very happy with it. I did a lot of research and tried out a number of TVs before settling down on this one, so I thought I would share some of the information and my experience with the TV, and hopefully make your decision in choosing the TV a bit easier.
First thing first. According to my research, the Panasonic G10 probably has the best picture quality among all TVs in mass production as of the time of this review (May, 2009). Most importantly it has pitch dark black level, scorching brightness, high color accuracy, and good motion processing.
I chose the Panasonic plasma over Sony and Samsung LCD for a few reasons. (1) Compared to 120Hz LCDs, Panasonic is significantly cheaper than Sony and Samsung. (2) I think the G10 is better in handling motion than the 120HZ LCDs. (3) The colors on the plasma are more appealing to me than those on the LCDs. (4) It has superior viewing angle. It looks perfect from any angle you will actually watch the TV without washing out the color, prserving the quality of the color.
The third point on color appeal is subjective and calls for description of subjective experience. There are lots of technical comparison of the colors on different displays on the internet, but my perceptual experience is that the colors on the panasonic plasma is very vibrant, punchy, tantalizing, and mesmerizing. The colors look like things in real life, but they are more intense than real life. A friend said "it's prettier than real, but not distorted. It is just like an enhanced colorful world." If you prefer high fedelity to real life colors, you can use the THX mode to tune it down to be very faithful to studio color measures. LCD in comparison is also very vibrant, but it doesn't look as realistic. It's more like computer graphics and less like colors of living things. Technically, this may have to do with the deeper black level on the plasma than the LCD.
Before the G10, I had the Panasonic Viera TH-46PZ80U 46-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV. Both TVs have very appealing colors, but I returned the PZ80U and got the G10 because the G10 has a number of important improvements over the PZ80U: it has a brighter plasma display, has a VGA PC input, lower energy consumption, and more accurate color. Also, its frame is more compact, so I can fit a 50" G10 into the space that would only hold a 46" PZ80U. In fact, the G10 is brighter and more contrasty than last year's top model Panasonic TH-50PZ850U 50-inch Viera 1080p Plasma HDTV.
What else do I like about the TV? It is very bright for a Plasam TV. According to tech specs and online reviews, it is the bightest plasma ever made. In Custom Mode, it is more than bright enough to watch in my room with direct sun light (sun light in the room not on the TV). In Vivid Mode, "you should prepare to put on your ski googles". In fact, it's too bright and overly constrasty and saturated for regular viewing. However, it is quite useful in displaying low resolution and low quality online video such as YouTube or Netflix Instant Watch. The extra boost in brightness, contrast, and saturation make the low quality online video look much more appealing and lively.
VieraCast is kinda cool. Not a deal maker but certainly not a drawback. I used third party firmware DD-WRT to set up a Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router as a wireless bridge. So the TV can get online without running a cable to my main router.
I find this TV fits my needs perfectly. But no TV is perfect, at least not for the technically savvy.
So here are the cons:
(1) The sound is mediocre. It is fine to watch a TV show, but lackluster to watch a good movie or music show.
(1.2) True Cinema 24-frame mode flickering is perceptually disturbing because the refresh rate is set to 48 Hz in the mode. It is a pitty because motion does look much more life like and less video like in True-Cinema mode. Wish the TV could run at 72 Hz.
(2) My PC only has VGA out but no DVI out. (This point does not matter for those with DVI out on their computers. A DVI to VGA cable will work fine) The VGA input on this TV does not support 1080 HD. It only supports up to 1280x768. Panny should not cut corner here. Although this problem doesn't really matter for video contents because most computer video resolution is less than 1280x768. And the pixel interpolation effect on the Plasma is more like a CRT and less like an LCD. So the set is reasonably good at displaying contents with resolution lower than its native res.
(3) VieraCast needs improvement. The content is still limited. The search function of Youtube on VieraCast is not as easy to use as on a computer. The Amazon video on demand price is way too high (but this is not really Panny's problem). I would kill for a firmware upgrade that enables Netflix streaming.
(4) The remote is not as well laid out as the one on PZ80. The 3 big buttons above the directional keys are occupied by the rarely used VieraLink, VieraCast and VieraTool. The commonly used Menu key is moved to a small key. Totally wrong choice of ergonomics.
(5) VGA PC input is paired with RCA audio input. I wish it is a 3.5mm (1/8 ") mini jack instead, which will allow a single cable cable integrating VGA video and mini jack audio. Now I have to use two cables.
(6) The stand does not swivel.
Regardless of the above drawbacks, overall I find this TV to have the best picture quality and price combination. The pros by far outweigh the cons. The picture quality of this TV is truly amazing, as such some calls it "The New King of Plasma." Anyone seriously considering an HDTV should take a look at this one, now that the Pioneer Kuro exited the market.
I highly recommend it.

Mitsubishi L65A90 65-Inch LaserVue Rear Projection HDTV Review

I have owned the Mitsubishi LaserVue since May 24, 2009. I could not be more satisfied with this TV. Blu-Rays look flawless with natural fluid motion, even with fast paced action scenes. The brightness of the image far surpasses the LCD and LED-LCD competition. Dark scene detail is the best that I have seen. My previous set was an early Samsung DLP. Reviewers have commented on the narrow viewing angle of DLP-type televisions. The viewing angle on the LaserVue is far broader than any DLP television, especially laterally. Even vertically, the viewing angle is better than my old Samsung DLP. My LaserVue sits on a BDI Deploy Max 9640-1, Extra wide Open TV Stand - Gloss Black stand, about 19 inches high. Wii games are playable twelve feet away without problems in viewing. The placement in my family room is on the long wall ( 24 feet ) and an excellent image is viewable from all seating positions. What really separates this TV from the competition, however, is the color rendition. Of the three color settings, "Natural", "Bright", and "Brilliant", I keep the TV mostly on "Natural", and even at this setting, the color is astounding. The "Bright" setting is used only when there is extreme ambient light, such as when there is direct sunlight streaming through the blinds behind the TV. The "Brilliant" setting seems to extrapolate the color into a range broader than originally intended or recorded. The Blu-Ray of the movie WALL-E looks incredible on this setting.
I must make some comments about a very positive experience with Mitsubishi as a company and the customer service that I have received. My first LaserVue did have a defect. The picture would occasionally shift in tone, as if the color temperature had been changed from cool to warm. I contacted my dealer, who in turn contacted Mitsubishi. I received telephone call from both a Mitsubishi customer service representative as well as an engineer from company headquarters in California. My set was replaced within a week and I received follow-up calls ensure that all was ok.
Many people are put off by the price of this television. I purchased the LaserVue and the stand at a very high-end Home theater store in Houston, where far costlier televisions were on display. One evening, near closing time, I was the only customer in the store. Most of the high-end televisions have promotional Blu-Ray DVDs playing to demonstrate the strengths of their products. My salesman allowed me to play these DVDs on the Laservue. It was really no contest. After this exercise, the LaserVue really seemed like a bargain, especially when considering that there should be no degradation of the image in the life of this television.

After several years of watching our old Sony 27" TV deteriorate, we decided take a risk and spend what seemed like an outrageous sum to buy this TV. It was definitely the way to go -- great value for the money and it is cool that we are ready whenever the cable/braodcast world goes HD. The color is brilliant, features are extensive (a little confusing at first) -- sound is good even when not using our 5.1 DTS. There is a very explicit warning about "burn-in" from channel logos, tickers, freeze-frame images, etc. but I think (hope) this is easily managed by avoiding such images and adjusting picture size. Also be aware that the picture-in -picture (PIP) is limited in the sense that the TV itself has only one tuner -- but a second source and tuner (like a VCR) should work. We have enjoyed many favorite movies and some new ones too since getting this TV three weeks ago. You will see detail you didn't know existed and discover that those beautiful movie stars actually have complexion problems like the rest of us. We used "The Wizard of Oz" as the benchmark to evaluate this TV, because is is so familiar -- and the richness of this 66-year old classic is nothing short of astounding. Also -- unlike another reviewer reported, our picture needed no adjustment, and the settings you can adjust we did not find difficult to use. A negative: when the delivery folks arrived they did not set up the TV, as promised in the Amazon description. This was the most unnerving aspect of the whole transaction but everything turned out fine. If you love movies this is a terrific TV.

White Tone Enhancement also ensures the purest, brightest whites possible.
The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.

I highly recommend this plasma display panel for anyone who is looking for a great picture at a bargain price. I mean come on a 50" plasma for under $1600 you can't beat that. The images displayed with this Plasma are very clear the settings are easy to manipulate. The color, tint, sharpness, etc...were easy to control and optimize. This PDP is HD DNIE. However, it's maximum resolution is 720pi, but for 720pi it's picture and performance are unrivaled. I used the HDMI to DVI conversion wire to connect the Satellite receiver to this plasma and I had no synching issues whatsoever, though I had read that there would be synching issues with an HDMI to DVI conversion wire I did not experience that. Bottom line: Big Bang for the Buck.

I have been researching on and off for almost 6 months trying to find the "perfect" tv that will fit my needs and my pocketbook. I have reviewed the technical details and the specifications of numerous tvs and had narrowed the search down to the Samsung LN46B630 and the Phillips 47 PFL6704D. I had decided on the Samsung and went to my local Sam's Club to buy it when the manager of the electronics area, told me they had a rash of returns on the Samsungs over the last month.
I had no reason not to switch as both units were at the top of my list, but after making my decision and purchasing the Phillips and using it for 10 days, I know I made the right decision.
Arriving home with the TV my wife assisted me in removing it from the box. This task is made very easy by the clever design of the box. It is a two person job. Do not try it by yourself as you are likely to tip it over and damage the TV. The next day, the Direct TV guy came and installed our dish and hooked up the tv. He hooked up the tv and couldn't believe the tv didn't appear to need any adjustment right out of the box. He also couldn't believe how effective the matte screen reduced the amount of reflection nearly to zero.
I have only had one LCD TV and that was a 26inch Vizio in my RV. It seemed to take forever to get that adjusted for acceptable color etc. The Phillips seemed to need no adjustment so I thought I would wait for a few days before making any adjustments. The PFL670 is a 120 Hz so one sees no "judder" and its 2 ms response time is so fast you don't have ANY lag time or jerky movements during fast action scenes. The colors are bright and vivid it kind of reminded me of when I got new glasses my entire world brightened up. So it is with the Phillips TV. I have a friend who is a TV tech at a national electronics store coming over tomorrow. He told me he will be glad to make any adjustments since they don't sell Phillips at his store. He wants to be able to compare it to the Samsung and other models they do sell. He was very skeptical that the set would be "IN TUNE" right out of the box. If possible, I will come back and make additions and corrections to this review when he has completed his "tune up". In summary, my wife and I are both pleased beyond belief that we found a TV that meets all our needs including the lack of reflections by the matte screen. We wish that all our decisions would work out this well.
I want to add, that I don't think it fair that people mark a TV up or down with delivery issues. The delivery has nothing to do with the product and it's performance. Delivery is a separate issue. I rate the Phillips soley on it performance and its specs. I try to compare it to other products and their specs. When a product does not meet its specs it should be downgraded in the review. In the case of this particular Phillips TV, in my opinion, this model meets or exceeds all the specs. The contrast issue of 50K to 1 with this model is reduced by the matt screen. If you have a glossy screen you will have a sharper black. However, with a matte screen and a setting with the potential for reflection, our living room with a walk thru patio door, we were more concerned with reflection than we were with sharper blacks. After all, 50K is right up there with the best of them regardless of the matte screen.

Sharp HTSB300 2.1 Sound Bar Audio System with Digital Decoding Review

Sharp HTSB300 2.1 Sound Bar Audio System with Digital Decoding
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Inexpensive soundbar best suited for a medium size Aquos LCD TV. Crisp high's and solid mid range characteristics, seamless operation with Aquos TV. Sound is improved tremendously with the addition of a small subwoofer such as a Polk Audio PSW111 or similar using the subwoofer output on the bar which can be controlled using the included remote. Dimensions are thin and long and well suited to 32, 37 and 40" TV's (the bar is 31.5 inches long). Well suited for smaller rooms or apartments, however surround sound effects are subtle. This unit will not fool you into believing sound is coming from behind you, however it does create an immersive sound field that fills the listening area and is a dramatic improvement over built in TV speakers. Great for someone who is avoiding complex audio systems and seeking a minimalist, but satisfying audio experience. If you have no intention of adding a subwoofer, get the less expensive HT-SB200, the difference between the digital and analog inputs is insignificant.

Designed to simulate a surround sound effect without the bulk and added cost of a full home theater audio system, the Sharp HTSB300 Sound Bar provides a 2.1-channel surround sound environment. The compact Sound Bar encases left and right speakers, as well as a subwoofer, in one clean unit for 32 watts of total power output (5W x 2, plus 22W subwoofer). It can be placed on a TV stand (32-inch class LCD and up) with included mounting plates and adjustable feet to straddle the base of an LCD TV.

I just received this unit and bought it based on my satisfaction with the Toshiba 37" Regza I bought a year ago. It replaces an old 13" in my bedroom so a 22" seems hugh. The various menues are the same as the Regza so it was very easy to figure out based on my previous experience. Contrary to the Amazon description, it has two HDMI inputs, not one. While the picture is really great in my view, I was very disappointed in the sound. Mamimum volume is just barely acceptable (I am a little hard of hearing) for listening and it sounds hollow and tinny. I got around this by hooking up a cheap book shelf stereo to my cable box to augment the sound and putting the speakers on both sides of the TV. There are no analog audio outputs on the TV so you need cable for this solution to work. Obviously, this solution would not be acceptable to everyone.

Very nice picture and sound. I picked it up for $634. delivered. Sub vendor Beach Camera. Steal of a deal for the new model. The G1 has a very good screen format options. I can't tell you how surprised I was at the sound. Many LCD's have poor sound do to the hidden speakers. The price we pay for style. The speakers are placed at the bottom. Down firing. All in all love my purchase.
Con:
1.The warranty. If they can't fix it over the phone you will have to carry it in or pay for the upgraded warranty. Larger models are in home service.
2. No Ipod dock like the x1 models. It would be nice to have the option to buy as a add on. (Can't find any options for it)
3. (Maybe) No 1080p support for PC. 720p looks better when viewing standard cable. So this depends on your primary use. @ 32" you can not discern the difference in viewing movies/TV. Only when using the computer. The text etc will look much cleaner. If you primarily use PC get the S1 model or spend the money for 37"G1.
* Very nice quality, Solid feel, nice style *

I compared the picture quality of the Toshiba 19AV600U side by side with Samsung (at our local Best Buy) after tweaking both to their maximum quality and the Toshiba had truer colors with accurate flesh tones, probably due to the 10 bit color. The sound was also much better (and louder) than other TV's of the same size. If you can live without the headphone jack, then this will be a great choice, especially for a small bedroom or kitchen.
One more thing that impressed me and my daughter was how the TV cleaned up the standard analog cable channels, apparently due to the noise reduction feature, which we put on high. Some of the channels even look as good as digital or HD. The 19AV600U also has (2) HDMI jacks and is a great looking little TV even when it's off. We mostly buy SONY but was settling for Samsung (since Sony is not that impressive in this size range) until I ran across this little jewel.

Sharp LC40E67U/N 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review

I was not going to review this TV, but when I read the first review up here I thought I should go ahead and add my two cents. First of all, it does not seem like a big issue to me that the TV does not come with a wall mounting stand. I do not think LCD TVs like this normally do come with that (a buddy of mine just bought a larger Sony for over $2G and it did not come with a stand). I have mine sitting on a TV stand anyway, so this was really not an issue for me. Secondly, I do not think it is accurate that this model is being discontinued. When I got my TV I was told that this was a new line and that they were just coming out (2-3 weeks ago). The fact that there are virtually no reviews of the TV on the internet seems to support that point. So I think that is misinformation.
I was worried about the fact that the TV is 60hz and not 120hz like many of the TVs coming out now (or even 240hz). It appears to me that I was worried over nothing as I do not see any issues at all, even when I am watching sports such as football, basketball, etc.
Another thing I was worried about was the sound - I had looked at a 37" Sharp in Walmart a while back and noticed that the sound was very poor - in particular, not loud enough. That is not the case on this TV. It has two sound modes, Stereo and Surround, and the sound seems very good actually for an LCD.
As to the picture quality, I did not think that the Standard mode looked that great, but after I fiddled with the modes I settled on the User setting where I could adjust things like backlight and contrast myself and, having done that, I think the picture is very good. Dynamic (not Fixed) also looks very good.
My only real complaint here is that I can't figure out how to set the video modes for things like "dot by dot" and "smart stretch" so that it uses the appropriate mode for an input signal. What I would like to see is the ability to have it use "dot by dot" (this shows the signal as received by the TV) for HD, but "smart stretch" (this stretches the signal to fill the screen) for standard TV, but I don't see how to do that. Not sure if other brands can do that, but does not seem like this one does (but this could be user error, I am still learning about the TV).
The TV has a matte screen (vs glossy) and it looks very nice in the room where I am using it (family room with low to moderate light). It has a glossy frame around the screen with an orange highlight along the bottom. It is a nice looking TV, similar to the Samsung TOC (I have a 20" TOC in my bedroom).
I have the TV hooked up to a Comcast HD DVR box, so I really can't say much about how well the TV works as a tuner, have not tried it that way. I am using the Comcast box as my tuner.
Like most HDTVs, HD looks spectacular, standard TV is "not bad". DVDs look good, certainly no worse than on a regular TV, better I'd say. I have not tried Blue Ray yet.
I like the TV and I am very happy with it so far. I think it is a very good buy for the $.
