Very pleased with this TV.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’m really impressed with the quality of the image of this television, especially given the price I paid. I had been looking at the Samsung LED panels, and although they were beautiful and vibrant, the increase in image quality didn’t seem commensurate to the increase in price. So, I had given up on getting an LED-backlit panel, until I discovered this Toshiba. It was just released, and I was a little nervous about getting it sight-unseen, but I decided to take the plunge, and I’m glad I did.
The colors really pop out. The LED backlighting makes a *huge* difference for blacks. On my old 46-inch TV (a Sharp AQUOS), when watching dark movies, or standard-def stuff with black bars, the blacks would glow pretty noticeably in a dark room. Of course, this was par for the course for an LCD panel at that time, and it wasn’t the worst thing ever.
With the proper configuration on this Toshiba panel, when viewing SD content in a dark room, the black bars fade into the darkness almost perfectly. Sometimes you can notice the selective backlighting. If there is a small bright object on a black background, it will have a slight aura from the section of backlight being on. If you connect a computer, set a black screen and move a white mouse pointer around, you can actually identify the backlighting elements. It’s more cool, than annoying. I guess because of the way the human eye works, you really don’t notice the panels/auras under normal viewing.
The media player functionality is pretty much worthless… it wouldn’t play any of the movie files that I had on hand. Since I have an HTPC attached, it’s not much of an issue. I basically bought the TV to function as a monitor.
Pros:
*Nice solid blacks due to the dynamic backlighting
*SD content from my Wii and DVDs displays beautifully.
*Plenty of connections
*Lots of complicated picture settings. I’m not a pro when it comes to calibration and viewing configuration, so my opinion is less valuable here.
*Pretty decent sound for stock TV speakers.
*Power-saving off mode to reduce parasitic power drain
*Pretty low power for the size under normal operation
Cons:
*The VGA input doesn’t support HD resolution (!!) — luckily, all of my computers have DVI/HDMI output
*Sleeping the display (when a computer is attached, eg) results in an annoying “No Video Signal” announcement bar to be displayed.
*Sleeping the display also turns off sound (this is a minor nitpick, and soon won’t matter since I’ll have an external sound system)
*Sometimes the image size options don’t suffice for getting the picture to fill the screen properly. I really miss the setting on the AQUOS that widened things more as you approach the side. It usually resulted in a full-screen effect for SD content. The Toshiba options are to cut off part of the screen, or have black bars. Of course, due to the LED backlighting, the black bars are not noticeable which is nice.
Superb LED LCD TV right out of the box!

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.
Regza
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I purchased a new Regza in June 2009. Three months later the picture has vertical blue lines and when red is displayed, I get vertical red lines running from top to bottom. They fade in and out when each color is displayed on the screen. Very distracting for an expensive TV. I called Toshiba and they didn’t seem to care. I looked on you tube and found others that have the same problems.
Would I buy another Toshiba Regza ? Hell no.
Now, I have to find a repair center and haul it over there. Lucky me.
I think I’ll try Samsung LED next. No more LCD’s
If you own a Regza now, better hope is doesn’t start the vertical line crap.
LED Backlit LCD TV, not LED TV
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Just to let you know Underhill, Samsung doesn’t make a single LED TV, they make an LCD that’s backlit with LED lights instead of CCFL lights. The only LED you can purchase right now is a 12 inch LED from Sony which runs about $7000, that is a TV screen made up of lots of tiny LED lights. The “Samsung’s LED” TV’s as they call them are nothing but a traditional Liquid Crystal Display like any other LCD except the lights behind them are different. Plus the Samsung one isn’t totally backlit only edge lit so the contrast in the middle of the picture isn’t the same as the outer edges. So do some research before you buy, LG and Sony both make very good fully LED backlit LCD TV’s, not just edge lit, so you get much more even contrast across the whole screen plus the benefit of “Local Dimming.”
Great TV – Amazing

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.
