Great value!
I have had this particular TV for just over 2 weeks and have to say the quality of picture for the price is great. I haven't tried it with HD content other than with my X-Box360, but have to say games look fantastic played at full HD (1080P). Cannot comment reliably on the analogue TV reception as I don't get a good signal where I live, though the digital picture through the inbuilt freeview tuner proved to be unexpectedly very good given that the analogue reception can be pretty dodgy! However using Sky or playing upscaled DVDs show that this TV can really shine in the picture dept. If I had to be really picky I would say that ultimately the blacks are never truly deep but given the price point of this TV this is understandable. I will be geting Sky HD soon and I am sure I will be amazed all over again given the results from my X-Box!

Another feature which may be of use to some people (but I won't use) is there is a slot to enable the TV to take a Top-up TV card.

So why have I docked one star off my rating? Well this is my second TV - the first one came with a picture fault "out of the box", however in fairness the TV was exchanged without quibble in 2 working days! Also the audio quality is distinctly average - even for TV speakers! However it is good enough for casual use, but for serious movie watching or gaming I have hooked it up to my Surround Sound HiFi and it sounds just great!

Excellent product
I ordered this item on Tuesday and received it by 10am Saturday. I love it!! The picture comes into its own when playing a DVD. Freeview is quite clear too. Sky seems a bit grainy, I think I'll get SKY HD. I can't wait to see the 1080p go into action. Saving up for a Panasonic DMP35 BD Blu Ray Player.
Thank you Amazon for selling such a good product for such a low price.Toshiba 37XV555DB - 37" Widescreen 1080P Full HD LCD TV - With Freeview

Well Chuffed!!
I looked around lots before finally getting this , theres so much competition around this price range so i have to say some of the reviews here helped me out.Well i have to confirm that its a great tv and packed with all the features i wanted to compliment my current av setup.
Initial setup is a breeze and even with an indoor aerial(although a good one) it found all the freeview channels i know of. I had a freeview box before and the signal was never as stable on that as it is on this tv so i have to give the digital tuner a thumbs up. The EPG is good and i found it pretty responsive unlike my old box. There is an analogue tuner built in too for those who struggle with digital receptions. The unit comes with plenty of connectivity with 2 scart, 3 hdmi (although 1 is on side which i dont like), component , svideo and vga. All the ones i have used produce a really good picture but it wasnt until i hooked my ps3 up to the hdmi port that i realised just how good it was. The ps3 looks absolutely crisp on it and watching a bluray film in 1080p (and 24fps)gave as good a visual as ive seen especially after finding some colour tweaks for optimum tv settings off avforums.
All in all i am really pleased with the purchase and while im sure the expensive top end tvs out there have even better picture quality i dont think for the money you can go wrong.

strange number is different
MY OPINION
FIRSTLY AS ADVERTISED I ORDERED A 37XV555DB BUT THE 37XV505D HAS BEEN DELIVERED .
NOW ITS VERY ANNOYING THAT YOU ARE NOT PHONED TO STATE THE TIME OF ARRIVAL AM PM LATE OR EARLY,SO I MISSED THE FIRST KNOCK ON THE DOOR SAT MORNING,BUT ITS OR NEARLY ITS HERE(CODES ABV) MON SALVO,
I LIKED THE LOOK OFF IT,ITS STYLISH
I READ CAREFULLY HOW TO OPEN AND FIX TOGETHER ,QUITE SIMPLE REALLY NEEDS TWO PERSONS.
CHECKED PAPER WORK FIXED BASE BRACKET,AGAIN SIMPLE.
CONNECTED UP MAINS AND MAIN ANTENNA COAXIL LEAD TURNED IT ON (NO OTHER EXTRAS YET)
SET UP AUTOMATIC SIGNAL DIGITAL, COUPLE MINS LATER ITS WORKING GREAT SCREEN VIEWING.
IM VERY HAPPY SO FAR,HAVE NOW CONNECTED DVD ,OLD VHS ETC, BUT I BELIEVE I NEED A NEW LEAD FOR EXTERNAL SURROUND SOUND FOR ALL THESE APPLIANCES TO WORK,NOT TO GRUMBLE!
IM STILL IMPRESSED.
NEED TO GET A CUSTOMED TO MY UNIT ,I WILL UPDATE NEXT TIME. TTFN

Very Satisfied
I spent a great deal of time researching 37 inch full HD Lcd's and finally settled on this Toshiba 37XV505D (same spec as the 503D but slightly different cosmetically). For the price this TV is outstanding value. Feed a decent quality signal in this and the results are very, very good. Setting up the TV for Freeview is simple and takes a couple of minutes. The SD quality on Freewview is very good, watching CBeebies on chanel 71 with my grandchildren shows just how good this TV is. Sky+ SD quality is also good especially the sport channels. Hooking this up to SKY HD is something I am looking forward to. It does take a bit of time to get the picture set up to your preference but its well worth it. Dont leave it set on the default Dynamic-User settings, they are way over the top. The sound is not the best but its not that bad. There is plenty of volume there but the vocals sound a bit muffled for want of a better word. I was dissapointed in that the Digital Optical output is only from the DTV (Freeview) Source. I have a Toshiba HD EP30 Dvd hooked up to this and the full HD picture is breathtaking. This set was recently given a best buy in one of the TV review magazines which meant that demand has increased for this unit. If you buy this you will not be dissapointed.

Edit to add:::: - Have hooked SKY+ HD and the picture is amazing !
