 Black Border ! September 4, 2009

I have had this TV for a few weeks now. It is the first LCD-TV that I bought. I am very happy with it. I connected it to one of my PC which I am using it right now to write this review as a PC-monitor. The resolution is great. I added a Blu-Ray internal drive for less than $60 (player software included) to this PC and have been watching Blu-Ray movie with this set up. The pictures were stunning clear and beautiful on many of the movies.
In the beginning... there is a black border around the picture. For a while I did not know what to do. I notice that there are a few selections for the picture size: full, theater wide 1-3, 4:3 and native. Native gives the best resolution but with the black border while theater wide would cut off the picture but use all the screen. My PC equip with an ATI graphic adapter and the following was what I did to resolve the black border issue. If you have a different graphic adapter, there may be a similar solution.
Open Catalyst Control Center(CCC)
Go to desktops & displays
Right click on the small monitor icon on the bottom left corner
Choose configure.
Note: CCC showed that this TOSHIBA REGZA 42ZV650U reported a maximum refresh rate of 75Hz, which is the best that I seen on a LCD flat panel. There are many setting here, but do not apply any setting that your monitor do not support.
Select HDTV Support tab, and check the box that show the Correct Display Format that your LCD support. Click on apply after everything is set.
Other information: Vista 64, Catalyst Version 9.8, ATI Radeon HD 3870, DVI-HDMI cable, and this TOSHIBA REGZA 42ZV650U.
Awesome! Looks great, best HDTV I've seen December 21, 2009

This Toshiba is great. The images on it look like they are in 3d. Has great contrast (black/white) and the color display is amazing. Turning off the Toshiba sign was a must, but easy to do. Easy navigation screens, very intuitive. Fast shipping, item arrived in good condition. Overall, I highly recommend this product.

I was a Sony customer for years. Great products and customer service but I always paid a high premium for the name. Years ago, Consumer Reports switched me to Toshiba. I am happier than I was with Sony for WAY less money and for WAY more features. I really don't know what you would want from a TV more than I get from my Toshiba42ZV65OU except for a better PC connect option without having to buy a 50.00 converter box. Couldn't be happier for 749.99. If I had room for the 47" I would have bought that. Extended warranty, www.squaretrade.com.
Thanks again Toshiba. Now please get over yourselves and make some some quality blue rays so I only have to use one remote!

The Toshiba 42 inch TV works very well. It got top ratings from Consumers Reports and lives up to its performance. The shipping from Amazon was fast and it arrived in very good shape.
Happy with the purchase January 12, 2010

So far TV is really good, with nice picture quality and surround sound feature is effectively good. Don't need to change volume now between show and commercials, which is really good as you can hear the dialogs really well. Picture quality is good but not very sharp colors. Well I haven't played much with color adjustments though, that's why I didn't give it 5 on picture quality. I may update this comment once I play with picture settings more.
