37AV502U
Take advantage of 720p HD picture quality and an impressive feature set with the Toshiba 37AV502U 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV. This model is a great addition for any home theater, and can also be used as a computer monitor by using the PC Input. Built-in ATSC/NTSC/QAM digital tuning allows for tuning of standard cable channels as well as off-air digital broadcasts, in addition to digital cable-in-the-clear broadcasts.
Toshiba 37AV502U 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV has the standard features you would expect, like a sleep timer, but one of the neatest is a half mute setting. When you press mute once, it cuts the volume in half. Press it again for full mute. A third press restores the volume. From half mute, pressing up or down on the volume restores it. A really handy feature for loud commercials or if someone is talking to you from the other room and you want to pretend to listen but still pay attention to your show.

PROS: Great picture, vibrant color range, numerous picture settings to find the best one for each source, plus it remembers your choice, easy to set up, included stand is sturdy, beautiful shiny black case, plenty of inputs (2 sets of component HD and 2 HDMI) though not the most in its class, great price, awesome starter HDTV, great with HD gaming systems, remote included is a universal remote, shipping was free and quick, and no sales tax.
CONS: Switching between inputs is not a one button process, you bring up a menu and choose the source from that, but that is probably due to the number of inputs. There is also no digital audio input, only a single output. This means that if you want to run your digital audio (DTS, etc) through the TV and only have 1 input on your receiver, you must use HDMI. SD broadcasts look grainy, but it is an HDTV afterall. If you do not currently subscribe to an HD package, you will want to shortly after making this purchase.
OVERALL: Definitely a recommended purchase. I have been fortunate enough to get to use several different makes, models, and sizes of HDTV, and I feel like I have made a great purchase with this Toshiba. The few negatives are far outweighed by the overall quality and picture of this awesome LCD HDTV.
