I bought this TV from Amazon on 12/29/2007 at about 4 PM CST.
It included “White Glove Delivery” in the total price. I received the TV on 1/4/2008 (6 days after ordering it). I called the shipper on 3 different occaisons to monitor the progress. “White Glove Delivery” in my case involved bringing the TV into my living room and taking it out of the box. I saw clearly on the shipping documents that the shipper was not to plug it in, hook up the stand, etc. However, I did inspect it for physical damage prior to signing the paperwork. It was clear that the shipper had been very careful handling this TV.
The TV would not fit into my entertainment system (my miscalculation) so my son and I had to dismantle some cabinetry and set up a credenza like substitute for the TV to sit on. It powered up nicely and I connected basic cable, DVD recorder(component), DVD player(S-Video), PS2(component), and a GameCube/N64(same switchable composite connection). The TV found lots of channels that I could not receive on my Sony Wega- including 12 High Definition channels!
Let me summarize the performance based upon a 5 point rating scale:
Standard Definition 2.5
Some stations look OK and some stink. The fact that I have analog cable may have something to do with it. My basis is my Sony Wega that I rate as a 3.5 (It has one of the best SD pictures).
DVD 480i 4.0
DVD 480p 4.5
1080i and 720p HD 5.0
Since I get all the major networks in HD I am not watching as much SD as I used to. My PS2 looks very impressive with games that support progressive scan and widescreen. A very enjoyable experience.
Overall, this is a fine TV and I’m glad I went with the Toshiba. I almost bought a 42″ Panasonic plasma.They had convinced me that the “burn in” issue was a non-issue. However, the glare on a plasma can be horrendous and it is not totally cured with anti-glare coatings. This Toshiba has zero glare. There is an 8 foot fully lit Christmas tree directly in front of the TV about 18 feet back. You can see a perfect reflection in the shiny bezel but nothing on the screen surface. Quite impressive. The viewing angle on this particular model is very good with no noticeable change in picture quality from all spots in my living room. I took Consumer Reports word on this and they were right.

Toshiba REGZA 42HL67 42-inch 720p LCD HDTV
We have been thinking about buying a new television for months. We did our research and checked with Consumer Reports and decided to go with the Toshiba. Amazon had the best price. The picture is great. We have a home theater system and it was easy connecting the the various cables up. The picture is awesome. We are still working out the kinks of our preferences for picture. We had bought a progressive scan DVD player about 5 years ago and the DVD’s look great. The gaming is awesome. I can play games now without having my glasses on. As usual, Amazon did a great job in processing and delivery. We ordered on March 15 and the tv was delivered on the 19th. You can’t go wrong with this television.

This is an EXCELLENT television, especially when ordered from AMAZON Llc. They ship IMMEDIATELY and the Eagle delivery system is fantastic. I had cautioned my wife to make sure there were no signs of damage and told her to ask the delivery people if they could open it up to make sure there was no screen damage, etc. etc.
Well, when EAGLE arrived (ON TIME) they brought the TV in, opened everything up to make sure the order was COMPLETE (even accessories). And they took all the huge packing materials with them and cleaned up any debris that was around. FANTASTIC SERVICE !!!
Had TV for month or so now and picture is excellent (using COMCAST cable box). Connected my DVD/VCR combo via HDMI and you can’t believe how much better that picture is than with standard video cables.
Again, if your order of ANYTHING comes from AMAZON Llc, expect it much quicker than they say – EXCELLENT SERVICE !!
