  An excellent TV
I'll keep this one short and sweet. Ive had this TV for several weeks now, and couldn't be happier.

The picture is awesome. Our other TV is a Sony 40 inch, which is another highly rated LCD, and I made my own comparison by watching a Stanley Cup Hockey game on both TV's and could not tell any difference. A Hockey game broadcast in HD is a very good test for your TV's clarity, and this Toshiba did not disappoint.

The dynamic aspect ratio works great.

The fact that Toshiba doesn't publish the contrast ratio should not be a deterrent for getting this TV. Contrast ratio is a marketing gimmick, and the determination should be that if you look at the picture, and it looks great to your eyes, who cares what the actual contrast ratio is? The blacks look black, and the whites look white, and there isn't much more to worry about.

Good price for a great TV


  Such a deal...
I did a lot of research before I chose my first television and let me tell you the amount of information to digest was overwhelming. But after narrowing it down to just 2 possibles, I felt like the Toshiba was for me. I then took the plunge and ordered it with Amazon's 24-month no interest plan, which was a great deal. I had the television at my door step in 5 days I think.

I'll be honest, I don't know much about all of the bells and whistles that come with new televisions but the Toshiba 40E200U is perfect for me. It has a great picture in both standard definition and HD. The sound is crisp and the look is sleek. A perfect choice for my narrow living room. As soon as I read the manual and learn about all of the fun features I'll add something new to this review.

Overall for me a winner!!!!

  Fantastically crisp picture. Very impressed. 
I picked this up for $399 during a pre-Christmas sale. Couldn't be more impressed! The 1080p picture is beautiful and even things like Wii look amazing.

Tiny Nit-picks:
Can't create custom names for the inputs.
Only one coax input.

  Great TV, great price!
"I'm an everyday user, i.e. NOT a technophile. I did some research before buying, but at the end of the day, I wanted something I could enjoy without spending a fortune, and I'm happy with what we got. Some tips on buying your TV, whether this one or another:
1) 120 Hz refresh rate -- great for future-proofing, but realize that your cable box may not yet transmit in anything faster than 60 Hz. I don't know if this is different for satellite or antenna transmissions. Also, make sure you buy an appropriate HDMI cable that supports 120 Hz...this should be listed on the package. (Although it may not be needed now, it will be when the cable boxes update again.)
2) 1080p -- crystal-clear picture when watching 720p or 1080i programming (nothing on cable is shot in 1080p yet) or 1080p Blu-Ray video. The picture is almost kind of eerie at first, sort of like a soap opera-type appearance, which can be unusual if you're not used to it. I adjusted to it quickly, but it took my wife some time. In the store, ask them to show you something on the airwaves in full HD, or have them run a standard DVD if you think you'll be watching that some via your Blu-Ray player. It is definitely an adjustment.
3) Sound -- always a knock on TVs, though for my purposes, it's fine (it's in our living room, not our media room). I really like the "night" option for the sound; it keeps the sounds from ebbing-and-flowing as dramatically, i.e. from conversation to a car chase, which is nice when you have kids in bed.
4) Computer connectivity -- I have a laptop with HDMI output, so we have connected that the TV and watched something streaming from websites. You can pay extra for "internet connectivity" applications like Netflix, Blockbuster, etc., though since we already had that with our Blu-Ray, we didn't duplicate with the TV. The easy computer connectivity is a nice feature."


  Samsung LN40C630 -- Worth the wait!
I researched my first purchase of an HDTV extensively over the last 4-6 weeks. After a couple of disappointing experiences related to models and brands other than this one (one TV I ordered never arrived, one came defective and had to be returned), I discovered the Samsung LN40C630, which was recently released by Samsung. It is an amazing TV and it almost made the problems with the other TVs I previously ordered worth the pain. This TV was easy to set up, has nice sound, beautiful picture, and user-friendly menu options. It also looks really nice in my home. I was not a big fan of the red trim (Touch of Color) on some of the other Samsungs, so was pleased to see a model that had nice, less gimmicky esthetic details. I LOVE THIS TV.

  Amazing TV!! 
After shopping around a while for a 40" lCD for the bedroom, this Samsung hands down is the best... It rates top in the picture quality, sound and inputs. I looked at the Sony KDL40ex500 but for the same price for the Samsung it was a no brainer. The Sony Bravia is a good TV but Samsung is the best. Please, please get a service aggreement no matter what TV you buy because things happen as you may know. I recommend trying Square Trade Warranty it's half the price of all other warranties and they offer four years. I asked a lot of questions and compaired the service agreement with all other competitors and I was very confident and satisfied that they will hold up to all the others. They will come to your house you don't have to ship it etc. Most of all the concerns of the TV if something were to happen would be covered. Remember no warranty is going to cover 100% if you neglect the TV. But anyway, be smart! get the Samsung!!!! you 'll be happy have fun...
