Reviews of the Toshiba Regza 42RV530U

CNET Review
The Good: Inexpensive for a 1080p LCD; produces a relatively deep level of black; uniform picture across the screen; good video processing; superb connectivity with four HDMI ports and one PC input; sleek, compact styling.
The Bad: Poor color decoding and primary color points make for inaccurate color reproduction; some minor false contouring artifacts.
The Bottom Line: Despite inaccurate color, the Toshiba 42RV530U 42-inch LCD represents a solid value given its otherwise commendable picture quality.
