Quite contrary, my AWOL has great picture and you can see everything in high resolution.

Either the computer desktop extended beyond the screen edges or I had black bars on all sides of the screen.

The picture is very good in my opinion.-The TV is extremely thin and has an attractive form factor.

Picture is awesome - bright, clear and sharp (1080p).

The WIFI works well and the sound is very good.
Rated 100% by by Amer-West-Henrry (Jan, 2012)
For those interested, it will play MP4 and AVI video files but not MKV files though I have some MP4 video files that play without sound.

Network

The WiFi does pick up signals, and even shows a list of Access Points (other wifi's) when you scan for them.

Wifi has been spotty for me, but in all fairness, I'm trying to catch my wifi-N router that is very far and amidst other signals that interfere.
Toshiba SL415U 32" | Rated 80% by by Soto (Jul, 2012)
I have yet to watch TV on it, but I played around with the Smart TV aspect and the Wifi so this is where I'll focus.

Apps

The built-in Netflix app seems to have everything you would want (I could pick up right where I left off on a movie I had been watching on my tablet).

The NETtv feature is excellent for streaming movies via internet with apps Netflix, Cinemanow, Blockbuster, and Vudu.
Toshiba SL415U 32" | Rated 20% by by C--Britrock (Oct, 2011)
Netflix items take an inordinate time to load, but I have not tried it with the Set hardwired, that may make a big difference.

Video streaming

I have a Panasonic Viera blue ray with Netflix and that one only allows you to watch movies that you already have in your queue which you create via the Netflix website, but the Toshiba allows you to find any movie through the TV menu.
Toshiba SL415U 32" | Rated 80% by by Carl-Duffy
We have Comcast for cable, and if you use the Comcast remote, you don't get the best features offered through the TV - NetTV, which leads you to Netflix, Pandora, etc.Once you figure out how to use the Toshiba remote, it's a good tv.

Remote

Superb Remote - The best I had so far.
Toshiba SL415U 32" | Rated 100% by by DrAmar (Jan, 2012)
When setting a channel's size via either the remote or the menu it doesn't stick.
Toshiba SL415U 32" | Rated 40% by by Jay-Finnsey--Truth-in-Reviews (Jan, 2012)
I would hit the power button on either the remote or the actual TV and the TV LED would blink green a couple times, a couple more times, and then turn on 10 or so seconds later.

Content

The Panasonic methodology is better if you are trying to prevent your kids from surfing for inappropriate movies.

Leading inovation??? hm...If you want to play games on this one, better buy some other TV.
Toshiba SL415U 32" | Rated 40% by by Mirza-Smailhodzic--lejber (Nov, 2011)
When it does start playing my media it doesn't have a problem buffering and seems to play movies and music without pauses and interruptions.
