Great TV - Amazing, September 2, 2009
This review is from: Toshiba REGZA Cinema Series 46SV670U 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with LED Backlight and ClearScan 240, Black (Electronics)
Unless you want an inch thin LCD TV, this should be your TV of choice. I went to Sixth Avenue where they had an exceptionally large selection of LCD and Plasma TVs. This TV had the best picture quality of any LCD TV they had. I was planning on getting a Samsung 1080P 120Hz thin LED TV (could not quite swallow the price of the 240Hz) model until I read reviews of streaks in the picture quality when watching the TV in a dark room. I then moved on to the less expensive non LED Samsung 240Hz LCD TV which is still $400 more than this Toshiba. Luckily, the salesperson asked me to take a look at this TV first. This TV is back-lit LED which makes the TV thicker, but provides better picture quality than the side-lit LEDs in the thin Samsung. The 240Hz was a real bonus--especially in a TV that sells for this price. I have had the TV for a month now and could not be happier with it. I have had friends that visit comment that this TV has the best picture quality they have ever seen in any TV. This is the best 46-inch LCD TV you can buy that sells for a price that's unbelievably low when compared to the competition. It might not be the thinnest LCD LED TV, but it does have the best quality picture in any LCD TV. It is just one awesome TV.

Superb LED LCD TV right out of the box!, August 19, 2009
This review is from: Toshiba REGZA Cinema Series 46SV670U 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with LED Backlight and ClearScan 240, Black (Electronics)
Ordered this TV around the beginning of August. Amazon shipping said to expect it on the 14th. It arrived on the 12th, lucky I had just returned home because I was all set for the 14th! Anyway, The delivery guy carries it in, takes it out of the box and set it on the stand for my old Sony Bravia.(Since I didn't put the new stand together yet. He then helps me take the old TV down to its new location in the basement rec room. (Nice of him!) We plug in the new Toshiba and I connect it to my cable HD DVR box with the new HDMI cable I also purchased from Amazon. It works! Beautifully! The sound is better than expected. The picture, especially the HD channels is great and the colors and contrast are fantastic. Everything I expected and more. The Dolby sound leveling seems to work (still checking). Our collection of wide screen DVD's looks great. Maybe because of the Resolution+ upscaling. So check out all the features and compare the price with the only LED TV somewhat similar: Sony's BR8 series. I think you'll be very pleased with this new Toshiba 46SV670U (55SV670U is similar). By the way, mine was manufactured in JULY 2009!
I'll update this if problems develop.
Well, it's now October and this TV is still the best. And it's great to be able to plug in a SD picture card and watch a slideshow or plug in an USB flash drive and play music or other media.
I'll update this if problems develop.

June 22, 2010 --- Sorry I haven't updated before this but we've been so busy enjoying the OUTSTANDING picture quality, I guess I haven't had a chance. Yes, this TV is still amazingly brilliant in every way. Audio is good for normaal viewing but of course I switch on the sound system speakers for all the big sound DVD movies. No complaints. At all.

Glare and big size, but otherwise, awesome TV for the price!, November 27, 2009
This review is from: Toshiba REGZA Cinema Series 46SV670U 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with LED Backlight and ClearScan 240, Black (Electronics)
1st, let me say this, I upgraded from the Toshiba 46XV545U 120Hz LCD T.V. (bought in April 2009, it got stolen :( "Last year's model"). The picture on this one is noticeably better. In fact, it is awesome, BUT this TV has a couple drawbacks that people should be aware of, and I think its why it is $700 off its MSRP only a few months after it came out:
1) Case size: If you're expecting one of those "thin" LED backlit LCDs like Samsung's, look elsewhere. This TV is 4-6" thick, thicker even than the straight LCD I replaced. Also, it has about 3-1/2" fascia around the screen itself. This is also much more than my old TV, presumably to hold the LED backlights. So, the case is bigger. This fact, combined with the design, makes it look old, like a 5 year old LCD. I much preferred my old Toshiba in terms of design.
2) Glare. Maybe I didn't look closely enough at the description, but my last Toshiba had a matte finish on the screen, which given my sunny living room, was a huge plus and should not be underestimated. This TV has a glossy finish on the screen, which results in lots of glare. This affects watching TV during the day big time and unless you have a dark media room, you need to be aware of this.
3) Backlight "halo" around bright objects on dark backgrounds, flickering. UPDATE: This problem was fixed by a firmware update, so disregard. Picture great now. There is still some halo effect around bright lights on dark screen, but this is endemic to local dimming LED technology. Its basically the best they can do right now. Much better than the alternative!
UPDATE: I have had the TV for a little over a month now 1/14/10, and I have to say I really love the picture. It is truly one of the best you can possible get in this price range. The DynaLight feature (local dimming technology for the LED backlights) make the blacks very dark once I got the firmward update from Toshiba. Highly recommend, so long as you're aware of the size of the TV and the glare issue.
I have begun to notice some tinny, buzz sound from the TVs internal speakers that might be what another reviewer referred to as a problem with audio coming in on HDMI after a couple of hours. All my inputs are HDMI, so this might be the issue. I usually use external speakers, so this isn't a problem for me. I'll check on a firmware update in a couple months. Otherwise, its a great TV, especially at today's price!!
