Key Features

The ultra-thin Air Lagoon design (see larger image).

Resolution+ uses complex image correction to enhance the detail of each image, making everything feel like HD.

ClearFrame 120 doubles the frame rate of standard LCD TV, providing crisp and clear imagery regardless of image motion.

• 1080p HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels)
• PixelPure 5G 14-bit internal digital video processor increases gradation levels (4,096 levels, or 16x that of a standard 8-bit processor) to create smoother, clearer images.
• ClearFrame 120Hz screen refresh rate virtually eliminates motion blur, making this HDTV a great choice for fast action movies and sports. Toshiba's ClearFrame 120Hz system doubles the frame rate of an LCD TV from 60 frames per second to 120 frames per second using superior Motion Vector Frame Interpolation technology.
• Resolution+ super resolution technology upconverts and enhances 480i/p and 720p input signals for a more detailed picture.
• CrystalCoat prevents ambient room light reflections from washing out the television picture, creating up to 30 percent better contrast in bright rooms and allowing you to enjoy a deep, high contrast picture in all lighting conditions.
• AutoView helps ensure an ideal image at all times for the day by combining an ambient room light sensor with incoming video content monitoring. AutoView automatically sets most of the TV picture parameters for you.
• DynaLight Backlight Control utilizes advanced image processing to monitor the brightness of each video frame, and adjust the backlight intensity accordingly. This precision creates seamless transitions with deep blacks for increased detail and depth analysis.
• Photo Frame capability allows this HDTV to act as both a TV and a digital photo frame. You can showcase your favorite memories as a clear, crisp slide show on the high-resolution television screen--all controlled with just the TV remote.
• Gaming Mode takes the gaming experience to a new level by reducing game control delay, thus giving the player improved reaction time and a more realistic playing experience. This is great when used with popular gaming consoles, or with PC games using the TVs PC Input.
• Built-in ATSC/NTSC/QAM digital tuning allows for tuning of standard cable channels as well as off-air digital broadcasts, in addition to digital "cable-in-the-clear" broadcasts.
• Native Mode restores the size of the picture by the 3-5 percent that is generally lost during the normal over-scanning that occurs on traditional sets.
• Cinema Mode 24 fps (3:2 Pulldown): This HDTV performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.
• Color Temperature Control enables you to adjust white balance to achieve the best television picture possible in any viewing environment, or simply adjust the picture to suit your personal tastes. The "Warm" setting delivers a redder image that is ideal for display in a dimly lit room, while "Medium" and "Cool" provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as room light levels are increased.
• Three TheaterWide modes are ideal for displaying HDTV signals as well as enhanced for widescreen television DVDs.
  • TheaterWide 1: Letterboxed image is digitally expanded 33 percent horizontally and vertically. Useful for reproducing Academy Standard (1.85:1) formatted software.
  • TheaterWide 2: Letterboxed image is expanded 33 percent horizontally and 42 percent vertically. Particularly of use when viewing narrow letterboxed images originally filmed in Panavision or CinemaScope.
  • TheaterWide 3: Letterboxed image is expanded 33 percent horizontally and 24 percent vertically. Can be utilized when displaying letterboxed images that incorporate narrow bands at the top and bottom of the picture.

• MP3 audio and JPEG image playback via 2 USB ports or SD memory card slot
• REGZA-LINK (HDMI-CEC) allows peripheral AV devices such as a DVD player to be controlled by the remote control.
• InstaPort fast HDMI switching between A/V components: Typically, when you switch HDMI inputs, there can be a five or six second delay. With InstaPort, as soon as you select an HDMI source, it will connect in a fraction of the time.
• Ethernet port for connecting to wired home network.
• Bottom-mounted invisible speakers integrated into stylish Horizon bezel design (20 Watts total power; 10W + 10W).
• Channel Browser allows you to easily scan through the last 32 channels you have viewed, with screen images for the last five channels displayed, by channel, by favorites, and by input, at the touch of a button.
• Channel Labeling allows you to put station call letters on the screen along with the station numbers, so you always know what channel you're watching
• Input labeling enables you to name the individual inputs to denote usage, such as "DVD Player" (instead of having them display as just "HDMI 1" and "HDMI 2").
• Removable stand for wall mounting (200mm x 400mm VESA mounting pattern)
• Tri-lingual onscreen menu (English, French, Spanish)
• Dual band Wi-Fi adapter (802.11a/b/g/n) plugs into USB port (security options--WEP64/128, TKIP, AES, WPA/WPA2-PSK, WPS, None)

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

5.0 out of 5 stars Great product for the price, December 29, 2010

By 

S. Sturn "Shaggy98" (CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Toshiba 46UX600U 46-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED LCD HDTV with Net TV (Black Gloss) (Electronics)

I think the rating on this tv is pretty much right on, 4.5 stars. To the people that rated it 2 stars, that is just harsh! You didn't order a tv and get a microwave - read the product description before you buy it. Anyway, having said that there are definite
Pros and Cons to this tv. Most if not all of them have been listed already but, in case you care what I think (I know, you don't) I will tell you anyway. I must warn you - I am a nerd, however I am not a tv nerd. I have found tv nerds are in a category all by themselves. I do love reading reviews by tv nerds though, haha, always cracks me up how they will give a bad rating on an option/feature that is like the latest/greatest but has not quite been perfected, anyway.

Pros:
-The picture quality is great
-The picture for the price is even better! Sure, you can spend $300 more and get a hyped up Samsung, but for my money this is just as good.
-It hooks up to the internet via WIFI and it's pretty damn solid from my experience
-It comes with the WIFI dongle (ok, I just wanted to write dongle in my review, ha).
-The DLNA server feature allows you to turn this into a media renderer (I turned my windows 7 machine into a mini media server and it is pretty good).
-It comes with YouTube and Vudu (which includes Facebook, Flickr, & Twitter, etc)
-There are enough HDMI outlets for most consumer needs
-It's an LED tv, so it's pretty damn thin (I read arguments that it is thicker than tvs in it's class - I also saw those tvs are like $300-$500 more and we are talking like .25 in. (one quarter of an inch). I think your wall mount is going to be thicker than your tv dill-holes haha jk, but seriously, under 2 inches is just fine. Unless you want to wait for OLED 46 in and spend $10k, mute point.
-There is a PC connection, but nowadays this standard on all HDTVs. The good thing is that you can connect HDMI to HDMI (if you have that support on your PC) and it works flawlessly. Actually, if you bought a computer in the last year or two it probably should have HDMI connectors, but amazingly still kind of rare I am noticing in PCs (which is completely odd). One downside to the PC input or any backside inputs on this tv is that they are difficult to reach once mounted to the wall. Most people maybe connect things before mounting I am guessing or have a better mount than I do (who knows)

Now, with all of these pros, there are definitely cons. I will try to list the obvious first and a possible solution.
Cons:
-No Netflix: ok, that does suck and I am not sure why a firmware update can't fix that seeing as how other Toshiba models have Netflix. Solution: go buy a $90 blu-ray player that supports Netflix (that's what I did). I think it's worth the tv investment saving a few hundred on the tv and spending on a blu-ray player (besides, Toshiba saved you $90 already by providing a WIFI dongle). And honestly, you just bought an HD LED 120 HZ tv, are you telling me you don't need/want a blu-ray player anyway??? Psssshht, haha
-True, there is lack of A/V RCA input. There is an option to use the A/V/Y but when hooking up the
Wii for instance, the video is black and white: Solution: another cable for $15. This is probably one of the main reasons I think the tv is only 4.5 stars. I mean I could argue that in the digital HD age A/V cables are dated, but devices still need to support it. I mean ok, so there is no VHS player built in, but we have far surpassed that technology, but we have not moved quite out of reach to not provide an A/V outlet.
-On a black/dark lit screen sometimes the text color is faded (or backlit)...I am thinking this is because of the LEDs and how that works to compensate for the darks, but I need one of those tv nerds to explain it and put a smile on my face haha. This is probably not even a con.
-DLNA media files supported, ok again, probably not a con, more of a gripe. If the con is against a feature in a pro, it's most likely just a gripe, haha. So with all the digital world evolving I find it a little weird that some HD file formats are not supported on this tv (for streaming) when it is an HD tv! I wasn't able to hear sound when
I streamed a blu-ray (I think mkv format or something). I could just burn it to a BD disc.

Ok, so my cons are more in depth because some of them are a stretch. I think almost all of the cons
have some workaround solution. I also strongly believe the pros outweigh the cons. I bought a nice tv for under or right at $1k, it offers some great technology and it looks awesome (especially for the price)! Ok, enough rambling - bottom line, this tv is well worth the price tag, if you rated under 3 stars you might want to reconsider or go in for an "evaluation". People giving this under 3 stars are probably the ones driving Kias and rating them 2 stars (you get what you pay for). If you want a Bentley for the price of a Kia, think again. This tv isn't the Bentley of tvs, but it also doesn't cost as much. I thinks its like a Porsche at the price of a Mustang. It is well worth the price for all the features it provides, there seem to be practical workarounds for almost all of the "flaws", and I would totally recommend this tv to anyone in the market for a 46 inch LED. THE END!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Toshiba 46UX600U 46" 1080p 120Hz LED LCD HDTV w/NET TV, October 4, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Toshiba 46UX600U 46-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED LCD HDTV with Net TV (Black Gloss) (Electronics)

I purchased this most EXCELLENT LED HDTV this past July, 2010, at a price almost $300 MORE than listed today and have not ONE single regret! I was first introduced to an LED 1080p "screen" with my new HP 17.3" AMD Dual-Core laptop w/BluRay player. The CLARITY, CRISPNESS and contrast ratio of the screen on my laptop was nothing shy of AMAZING and I knew, then, that the next (first) HDTV I was going to purchase was going to be an LED HDTV. At the time I purchased this Toshiba, the "bigbox" retailers had it priced anywhere from $1,900.00 at a minimum to $2,200.00 and more at the higher end. I purchased it NEW via AMAZON.COM for $1,200.00 (keeping in mind that the USB Internet accessory continues to be RARE in LCD, LED, DLP's and other models and makes of HDTV's ... and to find that "option" AND have the USB Wireless accessory INCLUDED is even MORE RARE!)
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Toshiba 46" LED HDTV and suggest you purchase it IMMEDIATELY!!
The CLARITY and CRISPNESS of the picture is beyond compare!
With FOUR HDMI ports, CONNECTIVITY is a non-issue compared to a majority of other makes and models.
The approx. ONE HUNDRED ONLINE WIDGETS continue to update so the entertainment choices are always FRESH, EXCITING, INTERESTING and INFORMATIVE!
Everyone who has viewed my Toshiba has been MEZMERIZED by it's INTENSE CONTRAST RATIO, CLARITY and PRESENCE as you truly are treated to an IMMERSIVE HOME THEATRE EXPERIENCE.
And, if you are fortunate enough to have a BluRay player you are going to simply be BLOWN AWAY by this TV's INTENSE 1080P POWERFUL PRESENTATION!
The Remote Control is EASY to employ, the ability to "label" the HDMI inputs is equally EASY and the ability to go deep into the submenus (do NOT be "intimidated" by this) is QUICK, INTUITIVE & EASY!
I MUST suggest STRONGLY that you read the included Owner's Manual, as it is in PLAIN ENGLISH, EASY TO READ and INVALUABLE in quickly learning ALL of this marvel's FUNCTIONS & SETTINGS.
Oh, I might also mention that I have had Z E R O "problems, quirks, defects or difficulties" of ANY SORT with this most exquisite device and do NOT expect a single one.
I did purchase the 4 YEAR extended warranty, as any intelligent shopper would, in order to protect this investment ... as most, if any, "problems" will occur during this time period and I'm equally pleased I invested in this protection.
I hope this gives you a semi-detailed review of this product and it helps you to decide to purchase this Toshiba!

2.0 out of 5 stars Ultimately Disappointing, December 25, 2010

By 

StarDriver "StarDriver" (90254) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Toshiba 46UX600U 46-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED LCD HDTV with Net TV (Black Gloss) (Electronics)

At first, viewing the Toshiba 46UX600 was a "wow" experience; the picture was as good, if not better, than than the 20-in flat-screen CRT Toshiba I had owned for years and years, and the $899 Costco price was about the best for an LED HDTV anywhere. But after a week or so, the minor disappointments started and just kept adding up. The first, of course, was the exclusion of Netflix in favor of the pay-per-view service Vudu. The second was the sound quality--at best only fair. Third was was boot time--30 seconds before the picture appears after you turn the set on. Fourth is the backlighting issue which is quite pronounced when watching DVDs. Finally, for me, the deciding factor for returning the set to Costco was that during the recent rains in L.A., the ATSC tuner could not pull in a signal despite my using a 60-mile Weingard antenna for my OTR reception. So for the heck of it, I hooked up my $40 Airlink digital converter box to the set and the cheap little converter box pulled in every channel flawlessly while the $1000 Toshiba could only manage in a "low signal." I decided to return the set to Costco the next day.

The Toshiba 46UX600, as noted in a previous review, produces a great picture. But also, in response to the reviewer who compared the TV to "shy, quiet girl at a party," there's are reasons nobody's asking her to dance and, if so, to dance only once. Sure, she's nice to look at, but as the old saying goes "beauty is only skin deep." And when you're spending a thousand bucks on a TV you'd like to know that there's more there than meets the eye.
