    CNET Review

    November 16, 2009

    The Good: Inexpensive; produces relatively deep black levels for an entry-level LCD; above-average selection of picture controls; adequate connectivity with two HDMI and two component-video inputs.

    The Bad: Less accurate color than some entry-level LCDs; some artifacts with 1080i sources; unremarkable styling; confusing remote and menu system.

    The Bottom Line: While no style maven or template for reference color, the Toshiba AV502U series can do black levels better than most inexpensive LCDs.
