Toshiba - REGZA 40" 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV Review

I dont have the Regza but mine is also a 40'' Toshiba LCD 1080P and it takes about 5-6 seconds before the actual picture comes on

how many seconds does iit take to turn on?

How is the picture look on a standard-def signal...like say regular cnn?

Good. The SRT tech upscales it a bit, so it doesn't look to square and grainy.

u dont sound very confident in what your saying and sound like an ass

Any advice? Just want this to watch tv (movies, news, sports, etc.) Don't need it for gaming or anything like that.

If you're not planning on watching blu-rays, don't get 1080p. Broadcasters go to max 720p/1080i (some exceptions, but rarely and distributors' tech doesn't go up to that...) so 1080 is useful only for BDs or Video Games. You can save a couple of hundreds by getting a, lets say, 42" Plasma Samsung 720p over the Plasma 1080p.

Talking about plasma, I would consider that over LCD. LCD is good for PC and Video games (due to it's matte finish and synthetic colors), but it lacks contrast, colors and a natural feel. Adding plasma 600hz for sports and action flicks, you're getting a way better technology for cheaper.

no real need to go over 720p if your not playing games or watching blue rays.. MUCH cheaper

how do you turn on the subtitles?
