4.0 out of 5 stars Better than the comparable 46" Sony/Sharp/Vizio, December 22, 2009

By	Gex N. Efx (Santa Clara, CA) - See all my reviews

HD, Blu-Ray, & PS3 gaming look top notch on this LCD. Scrolling text looks clear w/ 120hz refresh rate. I got this from Costco and had the chance to compare the Toshiba side by side w/ the comparable 46" Sony, Sharp, Vizio & Samsung. The Toshiba & Samsung had the best picture quality & details in the blacks. No contrast ratio spec that I could find, however the darks have more detail than the Sony, Sharp & Vizio. The only difference between the Samsung & Toshiba was that the color on the Samung looked better, but for the price the Toshiba was the way to go. I've had it for 2 weeks and have not had any problems with it. At first I thought the menu screens were a bit basic and inefficient compared to the Sony menus, however after some time it actually is quite intuitive and has convenient shortcuts. I especially like how to switch between inputs, channels through favorites and or the channel history. I am very happy w/ this LCD TV.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid choice for entry level 1080p/120 Hz set, February 7, 2010

By	S. Bernstein (Upland, CA) - See all my reviews

I was able to pick this up at Costco at a lower price ($750) than any other 46" 1080p/120hz set I'd shopped for save the Insignia at Best Buy. After several weeks with the set it is a joy to watch and at this price point I am very happy to do without the first generation, ethernet based internet connectivity found on more expensive sets, especially since those same services are available with wifi on mid priced blu ray players.

The other main give up with this set is that it uses 3:2 pull down technology for 1080p/24 fps input (i.e, blu-ray) instead of the Regza series' 5:5 pull down which promises smoother motion. In fact, when viewing the absolutely amazing-looking Blu-Ray of Troy, I did detect some jutter on slow distance panning scenes and slow moving close up scenes. It is just slightly annoying. Changing the Blu-Ray's display setting from 1080p/24fps to plain 1080p/60fps eliminated the jutter with a barely perceptible give up in overall picture quality, if any at all. Jutter is not an issue with regular broadcast TV via my DirecTV connection, and the 120 hz setting produces no blur at all on fast moving action scenes and sports. If I'd known about the jutter issue on blu-ray, I might have price shopped for the entry level Regza XV-645u model with 5:5 pulldown, but I did save about $100 dollars with this set.

This HDTV has a very flexible and intuitive picture adjustment capability, which enables you to experiment with color temperature, intensity, contrast, brightness and all the usual settings quickly and easily until you find what suits you and your room. The four pre-sets (standard, sports, video and movie) are limited but give you a place to start and adjust the picture to your liking from the easy to access menus. The colors are deep and true with my DirecTV 1080i feed, and the set looks great on a variety of color settings. The 'Smooth' video setting that enables the 120 HZ processing has produced no blur that I can see; motion on broadcast TV looks remarkably smooth. I adjusted my rating to 4 stars due to a couple of minor peeves in addition to the blu-ray jutter: the DynaLight backlight auto - adjust is a little slow and sometimes adjusts and re-adjusts during a scene; I might turn this feature off. I have also noticed that the color fades when viewed from about a 140-50 degree angle, not the 178 degrees advertised with most of these sets. With Costco's 90 day return and one year extension of the manufacturer's warranty, it was well worth it to get a great picture on a set that might have cost twice the money less than a year ago. If you're looking for a basic-featured set at great price, you won't be disappointed with this set, but the Regza series TV's have superior technology for 24 fps blu-ray at a slightly higher price point than this set.

1.0 out of 5 stars Three strikes, I'm out!, November 23, 2009

By	D. Petroff - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Stay away from this one. The first unit I bought worked for a week, but then started to turn itself off. I returned it to the store and got a second unit. On the second unit, the Menu popped up unprompted every five minutes. I returned it to the store and (foolishly) took home a third unit. The third one didn't turn on at all. I returned that one and bought a different brand.

Three units, three different problems, three returns in a span of 24 hours.
