Toshiba 26AV502R 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Review
Toshiba stands tall with 26av502R: I bought the 26av502r (no diff in the “u” except menu style from what I’m told from Toshiba CS. They are required to change model numbers if alterations of any kind are made). This TV surprised the S*&^ out of me. Colors were beautiful right out of the box. HD is top notch and SD is strong (I have ATT-Uverse). Sound is great as speakers point straight toward you ( not like some that point down [Samsung]}. Set up was a breeze. Menu’s are easy to follow. I have a a Sharp D64U and a Sony XBR2 and this set holds up against these two brands. Anyway, I got the set on sale from Fry’s for $349 and for the price it’s a steal.
EDIT 3/21/09: Moved this set to my office where I am hooked up without a set top box to Time Warner cable. Well the channel changeing is now extremely slow. 5 full seconds after last digit input before channel appears (if you have a set top box you will probably be fine like I was with the ATT-U connection). 3 seconds when surfing up/down button. It’s like dial up on a computer. It Sucks!!! I called Toshiba and they say there is no cure for it except go back to set top box. I’ll see if I can put up with it up as I have about 3wks left on the 30 day return policy at BB. I would change the star rating to 3 stars but couldn’t find a way to do that.
