I purchased this most EXCELLENT LED HDTV this past July, 2010, at a price almost $300 MORE than listed today and have not ONE single regret! I was first introduced to an LED 1080p “screen” with my new HP 17.3″ AMD Dual-Core laptop w/BluRay player. The CLARITY, CRISPNESS and contrast ratio of the screen on my laptop was nothing shy of AMAZING and I knew, then, that the next (first) HDTV I was going to purchase was going to be an LED HDTV. At the time I purchased this Toshiba, the “bigbox” retailers had it priced anywhere from $1,900.00 at a minimum to $2,200.00 and more at the higher end. I purchased it NEW via AMAZON.COM for $1,200.00 (keeping in mind that the USB Internet accessory continues to be RARE in LCD, LED, DLP’s and other models and makes of HDTV’s … and to find that “option” AND have the USB Wireless accessory INCLUDED is even MORE RARE!)

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this Toshiba 46″ LED HDTV and suggest you purchase it IMMEDIATELY!!

The CLARITY and CRISPNESS of the picture is beyond compare!

With FOUR HDMI ports, CONNECTIVITY is a non-issue compared to a majority of other makes and models.

The approx. ONE HUNDRED ONLINE WIDGETS continue to update so the entertainment choices are always FRESH, EXCITING, INTERESTING and INFORMATIVE!

Everyone who has viewed my Toshiba has been MEZMERIZED by it’s INTENSE CONTRAST RATIO, CLARITY and PRESENCE as you truly are treated to an IMMERSIVE HOME THEATRE EXPERIENCE.

And, if you are fortunate enough to have a BluRay player you are going to simply be BLOWN AWAY by this TV’s INTENSE 1080P POWERFUL PRESENTATION!

The Remote Control is EASY to employ, the ability to “label” the HDMI inputs is equally EASY and the ability to go deep into the submenus (do NOT be “intimidated” by this) is QUICK, INTUITIVE & EASY!

I MUST suggest STRONGLY that you read the included Owner’s Manual, as it is in PLAIN ENGLISH, EASY TO READ and INVALUABLE in quickly learning ALL of this marvel’s FUNCTIONS & SETTINGS.

Oh, I might also mention that I have had Z E R O “problems, quirks, defects or difficulties” of ANY SORT with this most exquisite device and do NOT expect a single one.

I did purchase the 4 YEAR extended warranty, as any intelligent shopper would, in order to protect this investment … as most, if any, “problems” will occur during this time period and I’m equally pleased I invested in this protection.

I hope this gives you a semi-detailed review of this product and it helps you to decide to purchase this Toshiba!

So far, we love this television! We’ve only owned it for about 2 weeks, but the picture is phenomenal. We don’t even have HDTV (yet), but the picture is wonderful even when viewed with a digital signal. We have watched a couple of blu-ray movies and the color and clarity is simply gorgeous. This TV has so many bells and whistles, it’s unbelievable. You can watch YouTube, download movies, check out podcasts on Fox News, MSNBC, PBS programs, you can listen to Pandora radio….you name it. This TV has it all. So far, so good. If we find any negatives, I’ll be sure to post them. In the meantime, we LOVE this set! A lot of bang for your buck.

My review is very limited in scope and my direct experience of competitive models is almost nil, but I may have a few observations which someone may well find useful.

I need it as nothing but an HDMI monitor for a computer based media center. As such, it needs to output the digital HDMI video signal and that’s about it. No audio – I use a separate receiver/speakers. I just want it to do a good pixel-perfect output with minimal processing.

I’m loving it. Took me a little time to find the settings for making it display pixel-for-pixel output with minimal processing. The “PC” output profile, with contrast down and brightness up a little seems good (not sure why most TV defaults have the contrast overdone by default – looks punchy in the shop display perhaps). Interestingly, on other profiles, if you turn the sharpening below about -25 (range is -50 to +50), it actually actively softens – puts an anti-halo around things. In the PC profile, zero (default) sharpening really is zero.

I was concerned with a side-lit LED display – that it would be unevenly lit, but I’ve done a number of tests with real and artificial output and the illumination looks completely flat to me. I’m also amazed at the viewing angles. It looks very good from almost everywhere, and the black is very black. It’s giving off a lot less heat than my 3.5 year old flouro-lit 32″, which is shamed next to this machine.

I’m finding the automatic brightness adjustment to be useless.

My negatives are all pretty much trivial. The remote is programmable, but useless to me as I can’t set the volume keys to control my receiver while otherwise controlling the TV :(. The supplied wifi adapter sticks visibly out the side…

It has a nice IR blaster pass-through. Good to have to allow hiding other components. It’s kind of wierd to have the TV connected to the net. Not sure how much I’ll use all that, especially given that I it connected to a media center anyway.

I haven’t had it long, but I’ll be back to edit the review, particularly if I find any negatives.

Awesome television – But be advised your old components like Bose Surround may not be HMDI compatible and require alternative cables to hook up to this television in order to utilize them. Sharp – dynamic picture quality – definitely want your own surround sound system though to equate the sound with the picture quality you’re going to get.
