Finally, a full-featured HD LCD TV that’s practically all screen. This 52.0" (measured diagonally) model combines Toshiba’s Super Narrow Bezel design with cutting-edge technology to deliver a beautiful picture in an equally beautiful package.
At $3300, the Toshiba is $100 more than the Samsung LN52A750 and $700 less than the Sony KDL-52XBR4 . Of the three, I prefer the Samsung with its better blacks, frame interpolation, connectivity features, and user interface. The Toshiba beats the Sony's effective blacks, and while their menu systems are very different, I don't particularly like either one. The Toshiba has a much thinner bezel than either of the others, which could be important for buyers with limited... Read more
Vast Screen Real Estate Highlights Noisy Images We loved this 52-inch Toshiba's narrow-bezel case.

My Toshiba 52" [...] Was very easy to set up, and the remote is fairly intuitive to use. I would most definitly recommend both the TV and ABT to friends. When I get ready to purchase another TV, it will most assuredly be from Abt. Read more
I wouldn't recommend any Toshiba lcd tv's. After a couple of months of use, a red pixel started to appear approximately 5 inches from the right panel, centered vertically. I called for support, and all they said that this was a "feature"; well, I call it a defect. I have a Sharp Aquos 32" about 4 years old and a Pioneer 43" plasma over 5 years old now, none of them have any problems. Stick with Sony, Sharp or Pioneer but stay away from Toshiba or you'll be stuck with... Read more
