HDTV Review: Toshiba's $2,000 37-Inch LCD
Consumer Reports says it's pricey but offers a great picture and a DVD player.
By Phillip Swann

Washington, D.C. (December 15, 2006) -- Looking for medium-sized LCD HDTV that delivers a great picture for HDTV and standard definition programming?

The Toshiba 37-inch
Regza 37LX96, which also comes with a DVD player inside, could be your answer, according to Consumer Reports.

In a recent review, the publication says the flat-panel LCD offers "excellent picture quality for HD video and very good picture quality for the progressive-scan DVD and standard definition."


Toshiba's 37-inch LCD with a built-in DVD player.

The review notes that the set, which retails for around $2,000, does not display in 1080p. But it says the TV offers crisp detail and excellent contrast "that makes images jump off the screen."

On the negative side, the LCD provides a narrow viewing angle. "If you're watching the screen from off to the side, images might appear washed out."

In addition, the review states, colors tend toward the "bluish" side.

"That's not likely to bother many viewers, but if you are looking for warm color tones, you won't find them on this set," Consumer Reports writes.

But, overall, the magazine says the Toshiba LCD provides "top picture quality" in a mid-sized flat-screen set.

"While it's on the pricey side, you get a built-in DVD player. That makes for a sleek setup, especially if you want to wall-mount the set.," the publication concluded.
