Default My 52 inch Aquos in pretty long in the tooth. It is a D64U ? series (1.5 years old). My year old

Toshiba looks better but both vendors have a next generation out now.

Default I'd try to look at them side by side and get the remote and set them to their defaults settings.

I was going to buy a Sony or Sharp. The Sony meant a smaller TV. When I went to Video Only I talked to the salesman and he recommended the Toshiba. The Toshiba picture at that time was noticeably better than a Sharp D64U? series, the same screen size and just a little smaller package.

Only complaint I have is the Toshiba does take a bit to switch resolutions so I just setup my DirecTV box to output 1080i all the time.

I notice Consumer Reports says the Toshiba remote is hard to understand...I always use the DirecTV or DVD player remote. I only use the Toshiba remote control to switch the TV inputs for a DVD showing.

The Toshiba "Stablesound" does help keep the volume of commercials under control.

This is all based on TVs that are so old....a year or more, I don't think you can buy them now.

Default I've had 2 Pioneer Elite tv's in the past and loved them.

They're just expensive... I'm wanting to stay below $1K on this one.

Default Paint your Sony WEGA HD casing ebony black high-gloss.

cheapest way to go, easy to do. If it works, don't break it, tweak it.
