5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV, Great Value, March 10, 2011

This review is from: Toshiba 46VX700 46-Inch 1080p 120 Hz Cinema Series LED TV, Black (Electronics)

This was to be my first flat screen TV. After months of researching and analyzing nearly every aspect of modern TVs and agonizing over a decision, I finally chose this Toshiba model because it seemed to have nearly every feature I wanted at a much better value than similar models from other brands out there. Bottom line is that I am very happy with it and have no regrets. I wanted to write as thorough and comprehensive a review as possible to help others in their quest.

Setup. The TV was well-packed and protected in its box. It took two people to get it out of the box but after that I was able to attach the stand and set it up alone, although it is quite heavy. Connections and initial setup of the TV were pretty straightforward.

Appearance. The TV is very attractive and quite thin. The front is completely flat with no buttons. Power and other essential controls are in a small touch panel at the lower right of the screen. Just a light touch activates them, and then they fade away again so as not to distract from the picture. The blue power light is always on when the TV is on but it can be dimmed and is not objectionable. The screen is reflective, so you probably don't want to have lights directly behind you while viewing dimly lit shows or movies. The stand is simple but elegantly designed and functional. It and its connections appear quite sturdy. It rotates about 15 degrees in either direction. It would probably look very nice mounted on a wall.

Picture. I should first state that I am somewhat behind the curve technology-wise and have neither cable nor a Blueray DVD player. However, I am very impressed with the picture quality with even broadcast signals (some of which are in 1080i) and standard DVD. The internal processing or upconversion seems to be quite effective and I do not see the jagged edges and pixelation that I observed on many other models. I'm sure it would be even better with true 1080p HD sources. You can choose from a number of different display sizes to match the signal to the screen. There are also several picture modes you can select based on what you are viewing. Then of course you are able to make myriad adjustments, from basic brightness and contrast to colors to "expert mode," but I have not experimented in detail with these settings yet. Bottom line is it looks pretty good out of the box, but I am pretty sure you could fine tune to get it to look however you wanted. The picture still seems quite good when not viewed from directly in front. I have seen numerous complaints of bright edges/corners on edge-lit LED TVs. There may be some extremely faint leakage in one corner of this one. It certainly will not interfere with watching anything, unless you like to watch a pure black screen. It is so faint I may not even have noticed if I weren't looking for it.

Sound. In my research I read many complaints about poor sound in other models. I'm not sure what the standard is, and I can't compare to any other flat screen models from personal experience. But it sounds very good to me, certainly much better than my old CRT model. It has good left/right stereo separation and is sufficiently loud for general use. It has a number of sound modes, including surround, and you can definitely get some of that movie theater effect. But, if you want room-shaking volume you'll have to get external speakers. Unfortunately it only has an optical audio out so if you have an older receiver you will need some sort of adapter, or, better yet, a new receiver.

Media Player. The TV has USB and SD card inputs. Both worked fine for viewing images. I just popped the card or thumb drive in and it automatically pops up the option to view the contents. I have not yet tried songs or videos, but pictures display with no problems. The slots are recessed behind the front of the screen so they are fairly easily accessible but not visible from the front of the screen. The TV is DLNA compliant, which theoretically means it can act as a "media renderer" to play songs, images, or video files from a "media server," i.e. a computer running DLNA server software. I have an older Mac, though, and had a hard time finding a server program that was fully compatible. The free program Majestic almost worked. The TV displayed the file names of media files on my computer, but it couldn't seem to play them. I would attribute this to problems with my computer though, rather than the TV.

Networking and Internet Functions. Setting up the TV to access the wireless internet was not trivial, but probably about as easy as it could be given the number of routers, network types, options etc. there are. It just took some careful reading of the manual. The TV's wireless receiver is internal so there is nothing sticking out, but this may compromise its effectiveness. The router is one floor below, but computers used near the TV routinely register a strong signal while the TV usually says moderate or weak.
Initially, the only internet applications I could see were YouTube and the Yahoo Internet Widgets. I was able to very quickly identify the issue on the Toshiba support website. They already had an easy to follow fix posted. The TV was registered as being in Antigua. Setting it back to the US quickly restored Netflix, Vudu, etc. I have not tried these sites yet. YouTube works, although the interface is a bit clunky. There does not appear to be a way to pause and let the videos buffer, so with my standard DSL connection they are always stopping and starting. I have not yet tried most of the widgets, but it is handy to be able to pop up the weather at any time.

Remote. Seems a bit large, but I guess that is necessary to fit all the functions in. Most of the frequently used keys are within easy thumb range. It does have a backlight button for use in a darkened room. It is programmable to use with other devices, and I had no trouble setting it up to use with my old Sony DVD player.

In summary, I think this is a great TV and I would highly recommend it. It has a great picture, lots of features, built in wireless, internet applications, DLNA compliance, and effective upconversion and video processing. It avoids two of the most commonly cited issues, poor sound and bright spots in the corners. And it was a relatively good deal compared to the competition. I will provide an update if I get the DLNA working.

This review is from: Toshiba 46VX700 46-Inch 1080p 120 Hz Cinema Series LED TV, Black (Electronics)

This is my first HDTV that i have ever owned...so, i don't have a lot of knowledge about them. But i can't imagine much better of a tv...especially for the price that i paid thru amazon $1019. The picture is excellent with HD channells...unbelievable picture, it has plenty of hdmi ports, fairly intuitive menu system, all of the online apps you could want (pandora, netflix, news, weather, sports, vudu, blockbuster), built in wireless, built in lan port, and a nice remote with backlit buttons for viewing in the dark. I can control everything with the remote (dvd player, dish network receiver, and the tv). The only negative things that i have to say about this unit is that it seems like the built in wireless card does not work that well....it says that I'm getting 170 Mbps (connected to brand new cisco wireless n router...not very far away either)....however, pandora sometimes won't work.....to experiment, I brought my router into the same room as the tv and it worked perfect...i have my tv mounted inside a wall unit so i'm not sure if that is interfering with the signal....also the netflix quality bar indicator is only about 1/2 bars (that could be my internet service though...i only have 1.5 mbps dsl)...so far though i can watch an entire movie without any buffering interuptions....quality with netflix is not mind boggling though. The only other negative thing that i would have to say about it is that the front of tv is glass and is very reflective....i have a bright room and it is sometimes annoying when watching during the day....but not enough to consider another tv....

This is my first led tv and i am completely happy with it. Although i still feel that my 5 year old plasma has an overall better picture, this tv has enough positives to outweigh my decision to get a second plasma. I was hesitant to buy a tv from a manufacturer that i hadn't dealt with before, but this Toshiba tv has lived up to my expectations and all the positive reviews i read.
Some stuff that i like:
1-Its light and extremely thin (i.e. easier to hang on the wall).
2-It has wireless built in, very easy to connect to my wireless network.
3-It has a few internet apps built in, although the one i will get the most use out of is Netflix.
One minor complaint-Not all the internet apps and "widgets" are easy enough to use that they will seem useful.
(navigating through Youtube with a tv remote is a pain)
4-Numerous picuture and sound adjustment possibilites, too many to list. I havent even cracked the surface of playing with these, probably because the picture looks great out of the box
5-Does not generate alot of heat
