Toshiba 36HF72 36" Pure Flat Screen HDTV-Ready TV
Not what I expected...
I initially was excited buying this product.  It has component inputs and supports 480p and 1080i, so the picture should be great from an HD source.  However as soon as I plugged it in, I started noticing problems.<br />First, just like the other reviewer for this television, when i play DVD movies, it bows in the middle of the image.  Very strange, and yes very annoying.  I tried international DVD's and American DVD's and same thing.  The picture was very good, but NOT GREAT.  The whole reason you want to go to HD is for the superiour picture, and I just didn't get that \\"wow\\" effect.<br />Second, every twenty minutes or so the screen goes blank and then comes back after a couple of seconds.  Again, very strange.  This happens when watching TV, DVD's or playing video games.<br />I have called Toshiba phone support and they just said that they haven't heard of these problems, and to return the product.  Well, reading the other reviewer from Texas, they are going to hear more of these problems.<br />I am going to return this TV and most likely also go with the Sony Wega XBR.  Its much more expensive, but at least I know it wont have these problems.  I have been a loyal Toshiba customer for several years, I love there products.  This is the first television I bought from them however, and I am dissappointed.  I wanted this to be so much more.
