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.

• 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").

• 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 Spectacular TV for a great price! October 20, 2010

By Bee

Amazon Verified Purchase

I was a little leary of buying this because of other reviews on the net, from professional critics. However, none of them hold water. This is a fantastic HDTV, and the extra features with internet access make it perfect (pandora radio, even youtube). The picture is excellent from any angle, multiple inputs allow connections from any source. One thing that isn't mentioned is that the set will turn itself off after four hours if there's no input, that is set as a default. It was purchased for my elderly mom, and she loves it. Oh, and it's only a couple inches thick, and so protrudes from the wall even less than a picture frame!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected November 2, 2010

By MATAMAN

Amazon Verified Purchase

I went throug 2 of these TVs and was dissapointed with both. The biggest issue for me was the flashlighting on all the corners especially the upper right. They were so bright that they dominated the screen. Dark room viewing was not possible with this tv because the bright spots would show up even more. I had the tv calibrated but it didn't really help with the flashlighting. I will post pictures to show the bright spots that I am talking about. The overall picture is above average from straight on. Get about 20 degrees off center and you will see the picture start to look washed out. Go a little farther and the colors start to look weird. Another thing to watch out for is the screen coating. It does a good job reducing reflections but if any light hits it directly you will see a rainbow full on all the way across the screen. I bought black out curtains to take care of this but that just intensified the bright spots in the corners. I just couldn't win. I own a TOSHIBA 52XV645U and love it. I prefer that tv over this LED TV. I even own a TOSHIBA laptop so I am not a TOSHIBA hater.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really impressed with this tv June 8, 2010

By Steve C

This tv has a great picture and lots of good features. Picture has many user settings for fine-tuning and calibrating (expert modes). Apps like vudu, etc are fast and helpful. Thin profile and lightweight are nice attractions.
Couple of my concerns before viewing were the 120hz and the glossy screen (glare). I've watched football, baseball, basketball and haven't noticed any blurring at all. The screen does have some reflection but once the set is on you cannot see it at all. Picture is very bright and dynamic. Incredible blacks for an edge-lit. This picture and price would rival or beat any plasma or samsung.
Also very energy efficient. Great tv.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even good to be a computer monitor. What else can I say? November 12, 2010

By P. Lee

Pros:
1. Thin. It is only 2 inches thick. It is very thin considering it is 55 inch TV. Even though there are 1 inch thick LED TVs from Samsung and LG, this TV is thin enough for me.
2. Low energy consumption. With "Auto View" (default setting), it automatically adjusts the backlight using only 45 to 152 watts (normally 70 ~ 122w) per hour depending on how bright are the room and the TV scene. TV will use almost 0 watt on standby with power saving "power on" option (default). Fast "power on" option will use 21w on standby.
3. It will automatically power off in 15 minutes when there is no signal (default). If you use it also as a computer monitor and set auto monitor off, this TV will turn itself off after 15 minutes. This TV also has a inactivity auto off "Automatic Power Down" which will turn itself off when no button on remote or on tv has been pushed for 4 hours.
4. Network "Widget". Once you connect your tv to your router with either wired or wireless (wireless adapter included) network, you can watch some cool internet videos. Youtube XL didn't work for me, but I could watch youtube on standard version in Youtube XL. But this is just additional feature that I can play with. I'd rather use my computer, since I use this TV also as a monitor for one of my computer.

Cons:
1. Color changes a bit when off the center. It is acceptable to me, but may not to some people. Its viewing angle is almost 180 degrees (90 degrees from the center), but when it goes past only about 60 degrees, the color will change a little. It is quite noticeable when the screen is full of someone's face.
2. Reflection. Its gloss finish and shiny screen will show reflected images of the surroundings if there are any light in surroundings and the TV shows dark scene.... Many TVs are like this, so doesn't bother me much.
3. In order to have 1080p as a monitor, you have to use HDMI input. PC cable input will not give you 1080p (1920 x 1080) resolution. If you don't have hdmi output from your computer, you will have to have DVI to HDMI converter and HDMI cable, or DVI to HDMI cable. Don't forget the 3.5mm audio cable from your computer to the TV. You also have to change TV settings. In "AV settings", change to "HDMI2" and HDMI2 audio to "Analog". Picture Size has to be changed to "Native" for true 1080p.
4. Only one Component (3 rca video and 2 rca audio) or composite (1 rca video and 2 rca audio) input. It only have one component input that can be also used as composite. If you have to have more than 1 of these kinds of connections, you will have to find HDMI converter.
5. 10W audio sound was kind of weird to me at first. But I got used to it now.

The biggest thing I worried about was the flashlight effect that other reviewers were mentioned about Edge Lit LED TVs. However I couldn't notice anything like that on my TV. I turned off all the lights and paused the TV on a dark scene, I failed to notice any bright spot on any corners until I changed the brightness to higher than my acceptable range. Most likely most of us won't have chance to see what is called flashlight effect. I don't think you will have to worry about having rainbow effect either, unless you like to shine a light on your TV while you are watching it.

This TV works great as 1920 x 1080 computer monitor. This means this TV has true 1080p screen.
I am satisfied with this TV. If you can bear with any of the cons that I mentioned, I think you will be happy with this TV too. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV November 17, 2010

By Rink

I'm not sure how many of the reviews have negative comments about this TV unless they're really trying to find something wrong with it. It's worked great for me, and I haven't found a better deal anywhere on the internet - not even the Black Friday ads. The only minor flaw could be the sound, but I have it hooked up to a receiver anyway with surround sound so it sounds great for me. I would highly recommend it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gonga Deal! November 3, 2010

By Jennifer Glenn

Amazon Verified Purchase

I just bought this TV last week when it was advertised for $1199.00! What a great deal! That was a price I was waiting for. I got the TV yesterday and set it up fairly quickly. I have to admit I was a little overwhelmed considering this TV has so much more to offer. My owners manual was much bigger than my previous TV, an oldschool 46" plasma that burnt out. It didn't even have HDMI inputs on it. I'm happy to report that my pictures look awesome whether I'm watching anime, playing my PS3, or BD. I have to agree with one of the other customers about the sound, but what do you expect? Of course a nice speaker set and receiver can enhance your overall experience. One of the coolest features is that is has a wi-fi adapter for folks that can't hardwire their TV sets. Oh and it is definitely slim.
