Toshiba 37WLT66 Lcd Tv - Entry Level LCD TV -

Purchased a 37WLT66 from a electrical superstore and paid approx £1000. I had asked the sales assistant (wrong thing to do!) if this tv was as good as anything else which the reply was yes apart from Sony which is much more expensive. Like an idiot I purchsed this product, set it up at home really excited and chuffed I had a good looking ''top of the range'' tv that will be suitable for HD etc. Imagine my extreme dissapointment when I watched my first live footie match and each player had a distinctive, unmistakeable ''fuzz/blur'' around their profile!! Surely it must be the way I have set it up? Tried every setting, read the manual etc but still no improvement. Decided to ring Toshiba customer assistance who had the nerve to tell me that this is as good as it gets with this model, that it wouldn''t improve with HD and even worse, they actually said it was my hard luck for not asking the right questions before I purchased it!! I then did a bit of research on the web and discovered that this was a typical issue with early LCD screens and that all manufacturers had now introduced advanced electronics to overcome the image drag. My advice - don''t purchase this model or even Toshiba - buy Sony, the real thing.

Our old 23" Toshiba TV had to go, despite amazing service. We wanted a 36+" LCD and on-line reviews gave the Toshiba WLT66 high marks. We bought in early November at a price of about £900. Set up was fairly easy - the retailer sent the wrong remote control - but still managed to make nearly everything work, while waiting for a replacement. We have Sky HD, but even with normal signals the picture is excellent, clear with bright colours with no ghosting effect with fast moving sports action. Even with a 37" screen there is no pixel problem unless you're less than 6-8 feet away. With genuine HD programmes, the quality is outstanding. Audio quality is fine and speakers can be set in quasi-stereo mode. I should mention that with 'background light' set below about 90, we get a buzzing noise from the set and apparently, this is common. We don't see it as a problem, as I very much doubt you'd want this set below 90 anyway. Overall, we're enjoying this TV very much.
