Video Features

1080p Full HD Display With Full HD, there’s no need to scale down a 1080 signal. With twice the pixel resolution of 720p HD models, Full HD creates the pinnacle in picture quality.

SRT Super Resolution Technology SRT Super Resolution Technology upconverts and enhances 480i/p and 720p input signals for a more detailed picture. Now all your DVDs and TV channels will be displayed in near High Definition picture quality.

AutoView
AutoView uses an external light sensor to automatically adjust various picture quality settings based on the amount of ambient room lighting and the type of video content you are watching for an improved viewing experience.

Cinespeed LCD Panel
Cinespeed LCD panel has 8ms or less response speed necessary for cleaner high-action home theater images. A wide viewing angle ensures that you’ll have the best seat in the house.

TheaterWide
Sets with TheaterWide modes are ideal for displaying HDTV signals as well as enhanced for widescreen television DVDs. TheaterWide 1:Letterboxed image is digitally expanded 33% horizontally and vertically. Useful for reproducing Academy Standard (1.85:1) formatted software. TheaterWide 2:Letterboxed image is expanded 33% horizontally and 42% vertically. Particularly of use when viewing narrow letterboxed images originally filmed in Panavision or CinemaScope. TheaterWide 3:Letterboxed image is expanded 33% horizontally and 24% vertically. Can be utilized when displaying letterboxed images that incorporate narrow bands at the top and bottom of the picture.

Color Temperature Control
Most Toshiba televisions provide three user-selectable Color Temperature settings affect the sets overall white balance. The "Warm" setting reduces the color temperature to an NTSC standard 6500 degrees Kelvin and delivers a redder image that is ideal for display in a dimly lit room. "Medium" and "Cool" provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as room light levels are increased.

The viewer can adjust white balance to achieve the best television picture possible in any viewing environment, or they can simply adjust the picture to suit their personal tastes.

Native Mode
Native Mode restores the size of the picture by the 3-5% that is generally lost during the normal over-scanning that occurs on traditional sets. It also avoids unnecessary scaling of 1920 x 1080 HD signals when displayed on REGZA 1080p Full HD LCD televisions.

Built-In ATSC/NTSC/QAM Digital Tuning
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.

Audio Features

This new speaker technology utilizes a thin-line speaker design with enhanced dynamic range. This eliminates the big round speakers, without losing any of the big home theater sound

StableSound
Eliminates the annoyance of normal program volume being followed immediately by extremely loud commercial messages or drastic volume fluctuations while changing channels.

Convenience

Sleep Timer
The Sleep Timer allows you to fall asleep watching TV and have the TV turn itself off.

Allows the viewer to set the television to shut off after a preset amount of time.
Channel Browser

Channel Labeling
Channel Labeling allows you to put the Call Letters on the screen along with the station numbers, so you always know what channel you're watching.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nearly as good as my Sony, March 7, 2009

By	Mike M. Difrakhsh "Persianswede" (Alpharetta, Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

SD is excellent & better than our $1900 Sony Bravia W4100. HD is nearly as good as Sony. Remote could have been much friendlier and I wish did things in one step and not menus(i.e. press a input and switch from one HDMI input to another instead od input-scroll down HDMI 1 to HDMI 2) sound is not as bad as expected but weak. but you ought to know better these are to be hooked to amps and good 5.1 or 7.1 speakers. I know 120Hz would make this TV great but at the price I bought it is a deal! surface reflection is minor in bright rooms much better than Samsung and Sharp but not as good as Sony. Watt consumption is ~ 240 at normal setting like a old 25-27" CRT TV. start-up much slower than Sony ~ 10 sec

5.0 out of 5 stars LOW PRICE + EXCELLENT PRODUCT = GREAT VALUE, March 2, 2009

By	John C. Duncan (OK USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I did many hours of reseach before I ordered this TV last week for $1199 from Amazon. I could not be more pleased. The picture is outstanding, and the overall product meets or exceeds any reasonable expectations.

You would be hard pressed to find a 52", 60Hz, entry level LCD by Samsung, Sharp, LG, or Sony for under $1500 and when you do it is because they are reducing the price just before they introduce their new models.

CEVA delivery was great and only three days.

The speakers sound very good for a TV, and at double the price you may find some sets that sound somewhat better. If you want great sound take some of the money you saved on this set and buy a sound/AV system. If you shop smart you can find a system for as little as $300 that will significantly improve your viewing experience or you can spend BIG BUCKS for a weapon of mass destruction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best value, hands down., March 1, 2009

By	Rudy Leon Noir "Rudy! Rudy! Rudy!" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This model is nearly identical to Toshiba's most premium LCD TV (the 545). The only major feature it lacks is the 120 Hz screen, so at this price this is a steal, especially when you compare it to the other 52" TVs from the other major brands.

This thing has lots of connections, including 4 HDMI (three in the back). Lots of picture settings, great color, gorgeous good blacks. The overall look of the TV is very sleek and stylish.

In this economy you can't beat this deal!
