Portable 720p HD LCD TV

Customer Review :

Overall- good product

I reviewed tons of televisions before I purchased this item through Amazon. To me, the price wasnt as competitive as other local big box stores.

Look no further.. Just Buy It!!

Okay, here's the deal... I needed a new TV to replace the 14" tube TV in my kitchen. I also needed something short enough to fit in the very limited space above the fridge. And, I didn't want to pay a fortune for it ($200 max). When I ran across this Toshiba 19" HDTV on Amazon, I thought I had found THE one... well, I was right!!

This little dynamo has many features that are usually only found on much more expensive models. But more importantly, the picture is way beyond anything I ever expected at this price range... especially considering that with my setup, it's not actually receiving an HD signal!

You see, I don't have a cable connection in my kitchen. It's connected via a wireless RF-LINK box (which Amazon also sells, and I highly recommend) that is only capable of transmitting/receiving an SD signal. To be totally honest, there is very little difference between the picture I get on my 40" Sony 1080p (that's connected directly to my HD cable box via HDMI) and the SD picture I get on this one.

I've only had it for a couple of months, but so far I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase! In my opinion, if you are looking for an affordable 19" HDTV there's no reason to look further.

Very Nice 2nd TV

I bought this smaller LCD TV for my bedroom. Toshiba is rated one of the best for picture quality and even though this is only 720P it has a great picture.I have had it for 5 weeks and it works as expected.

1080p Full HD is within reach with the 40RV525U. Great high-gloss styling, DynaLight dynamic backlight control, enhanced connectivity with a 3rd HDMI digital input, and high-res PC input makes this model ideal for your living room or home entertainment center.

Totally Pleased!

This is our second HDTV. I got spoiled watching HD in our bedroom, so the family room TV got changed out for an HDTV. Setup was amazingly easy. I think the sound quality is fine, but admittedly, I am not that fussy about sound. Recommend this TV highly. It is just what I wanted!

DO NOT BUY!!! Shipper CEVA is corrupt!

I purchased this item on February 8th and set-up shipment through Amazon for between 4-8 PM on February 15th. I wasted 4 hours of my life (4 to 8 PM) waiting for this TV. It never showed up. I called the shipper - CEVA [...] and they even admitted to having my shipping info on file, but never delivering it. Absolutely NO attempt was made to contact me to let me know that they were not going to deliver my item. No phone number is listed on my tracking information so I had to look up CEVA and find their phone number on their website in order to contact them. They won't admit to why they missed my appointment. What is the point of me setting up a delivery appointment if the shipper - CEVA is going to completely disregard it. Amazon needs to stop offering shipping appointments if they are not going to honor those appointments.

Picture Perfect

The purchase the Toshiba HDTV has been a total delight for my husband! This was an easy way to shop and the results were superb. Each attibute about the TV is awesome; i.e., sound, appearance and especially the picture quality--you couldn't ask for a better product. I was particularly elated because the price was in line with my budget, as well as the delivery ease and set up. Thank you for making my shopping experience a joy!

Great intro to the HD world

As an entry level TV this works rather well. Looks great with my 360, PS3, and makes a great PC monitor with a DVI-HDMI cable. If you are looking for an entry level HD TV that won't break the bank then this is the one. I could not be more pleased with the product.

very very happy oh by the way very happy

i had looked all over for a tv that had a reasonable price plus gave me a great picture. well i think i got what i was looking for. my only complaint is that i do not understand what s-video, hdmi, this kind of cable and that kind of cable is supposed to be used for, but i sat and read a little longer and figured it out. that really was no problem but i wanted to plug in and start watching right away. i think that for the price you will not do better or as good buying any other brand. i look at tv for pleasure not look at it for what it does not have. i plan on buying another one as soon as i move. they said it would be here between 3pm and 7pm well to my surprise it was delivered at 11am, just imagine ahead of delivery time. it does not get any better dealing with amazon and their delivery system.

32-Inch 1080P LCD HDTV

Customer Review :

32 in. HDTV Toshiba

I purchased a 38 in Toshiba from Amazon a few years ago and have been very satisfied. I needed a 32 in. for a guest room and was worried about the sound quality after reading some reviews. However the sound is very good, the TV is all I expected. It was easily set up, picture quality is great. I am very pleased with both TV's.

Should have bought 2 more...

what can i say... for the price of $400, i got what i wanted and then some. It is in 1080p. it has varying resolution settings. I can turn off the back-lit Toshiba logo (it is all the way left on the main menu). it has the necessary inputs and outputs (3 hdmi, 1 vga, Composite, 2 component w/ s-video option). I should have bought one for our upstairs desktop and for our guest bedroom. I have had no issues connecting a myriad of devices (lappys, cameras, satellite, gaming systems). My three biggest gripes are: 1. it is only a 60hertz refresh rate, not a 120 or 240 (hence the $400, not $800) 2. i still cannot discern any difference in using the "game mode" setting and not using it. With the game mode setting i actually think i see more ghosting than without it 3. It is a CFL back lit LCD, not an LED side/back lit LCD. i hope that if my bulb fails it is within the 1 yr warranty, because the bulb might cost $200 to replace.
I would make this purchase again if given the opportunity.

i will caution those that want this for a regular desktop that it may be too large a screen size for a shallow desk. I would only consider a maximum of 27" if you have to sit close.

VERY NICE HDTV

I purchased this from Buydig, great deal at about $790.
This TV is very light for the size, has a nice case design, great picture
and sound, lots of useful connectors in the back including 3 HDMI, one PC
input (the PC works great). The remote is simple but practical.
DVDs look sharp with my upscaling Teac system using the HDMI connection.
I decided for this model because it looked great in the store compared to the Samsungs,
LGs and other brands and because it is a BEST BUY according to Consumer Reports magazine.
I still have to try it with Netflix when I get my Roku box.

Good Picture, Limited Options for Connecting through VGA

The TV looks nice and crisp. My xbox 360 was plug and play with no tweaking. DVDs and video games look great. The menus are mostly easy to use, though I hardly changed anything out of the box. I like the ability to label inputs or even have the TV skip unused inputs. Viewing photos off a USB drive is very intuitive and easy. There are tons of connection options, even one (seemingly rare) s-video port.

My only disapointment is the VGA port. For some reason, it does not allow resolutions higher than 1280x1080 to be viewed (as listed in the manual), leaving garish black bars on the side of the screen. Worse, the normal zoom function that can be used when watching TV or HDMI sources doesn't work as well with the VGA port. It only lets you stretch the image horizontally instead of "zooming" in, so even if you change your computer to output a widescreen format, you can't get it to fill the screen. A bargin basement Insigna I've used takes full 1080 inputs just fine. If you plan on connecting a computer to a VGA port, look somewhere else or plan on upgrading your video card to output DVI andusing a DVI-HDMI cable (something I cannot do with my laptop).

This is not related to the product, but I got my TV shipped by CEVA Logistics and it was the worst delivery experience I've had. Delivery took more than a week longer than estimated and was not white glove. Once I hooked everything up myself, I noticed that the box was taped together and the manual and remote were missing (thanks to Toshiba for providing free replacements), leading me to believe CEVA destroyed the packaging, lost the contents, and took a week covering up their mistake before getting it to me. I would have rathered paid the sales tax and bought from a brick and mortar store instead of dealing with them. My rating doesn't reflect my shipping experience.

Love It

After already owning (and being quite satisfied) with a previous Toshiba Regza (42hl67) - when I decided to get a larger lcd, I certainly put Toshiba at the top of my list. I did some research on LG, Samsung, Sony, and Toshiba and weighed the cons of each television that suited my preferences. The LG televisions I was comparing to this Toshiba have been known to have lip synch issues, while this particular Toshiba line has audio distortion problems over hdmi. I chose the Toshiba over the LG because I felt the lip synch problems with the LG would be more of a nuisance for me.

Sony and Samsung had good sets, but at a higher price, and they certainly didn't seem anymore immune to failure than Toshiba or LG. I'm sure some brands are more susceptible to breaking down, but just paying more for a television doesn't mean that it's going to last longer. I've owned my previous Toshiba for a little over 2 years without any major issues, so this of course had a big impact on my decision.

I purchased my TV from a local BB on sale. I purchased the insurance and my total with taxes was just over 1K. Reading some peoples' experiences who paid up to $2000 on other televisions and then have them break down in 3-6 months was a scary thought, so I paid a bit more for peace of mind.

On the 46xv645 itself:
The user interface is a mixed bag, very easy to change inputs, picture size, mostly due to the functionality of the remote. Digging through the menus is a different story, I have a lot patience with settings and will usually keep at it until I find what settings are useful to me. There is an abundance of color adjustments that I'd rather not deal with unless I have a proper calibration disc or other aid.
The picture quality after some rather basic adjustments is fantastic, at least compared to my previous Toshiba. Some settings such as noise reduction seem to work poorly with HD satellite channels, I turned both of the settings off. The Resolution+ setting also doesn't seem fit for HD channels, but I did use it at a low setting for gaming. At first it seemed that the extra 4 inches for this tv seemed like a bad thing for HD stations - I couldn't quite get as natural a picture as I was getting with my 42". After some more adjustments, this TV really does look a lot better than my first lcd.
The second day of owning the TV we experienced the dreaded audio issue over hdmi. Since I was aware of the issue and I based my purchase on many combined factors, I was disappointed but willing to put up with it. I can just use my surround system if the speakers get intolerable.
Gaming is fantastic on this TV, this (and I'm sure blu-ray as well) is where the TV really shines. I never experienced delayed reaction with my other Toshiba, and this one is no different.

Once this series (xv645) is unavailable, Toshiba will be stepping up to LED back-lit models. Many stores are already out of the 46xv645 and those that have them are probably low in stock. If the audio issue is not deal breaker for you, then this is really good tv to keep in mind if you are looking to getting a good sized lcd in the very near future.

Not sure where the smell comes from

The picture quality is pretty good.
The sound is acceptable without any sound system.
But it has a plastic/electronic smell that I am always a little worried some circuits got shorted and burning. First I thought it was because of the new-set smell thing. But after a month, the smell is still there. So I am not sure.

Excellent TV and Shipping

The TV performs equal to or better than the comments noted in other 5 star ratings. We have used the set with both Dish and DirecTV over the past few months and are impressed with the picture clarity in all formats from 480i to 1080i. We have not yet used it in the 1080p format.

Setup was easy since it was a replacement for a 32 inch Toshiba set. Amazon scheduled shipment originally for after Christmas, but the set became available much earlier and was received in early December. White Glove delivery was made exactly as scheduled, the set was installed, the deliverer made sure it was operating to our satisfaction, he gathered the boxes, cleaned up, and was attentive to our requests throughout.

We did learn in the setup process that the HDMI cable used on our 32 inch, 60hz set was inadequate for the 120hz set. Upon replacement with a category 2 cable, picture quality became flawless. Picture quality to the edge of the screen is uniform and there are no errant pixels anywhere on the screen.

Great TV for the price

I've owned this TV for over a year and it's been an absolute delight. My husband does a lot of gaming and needed a TV that was clear from all angles and was fast enough to keep up with his PS3. This TV does just that. I appreciate that it's easy to use and has so many places to plug things in so that I don't have to plug in the DVD player when I want to watch a movie. Sounds like some people's biggest complaint is the look of the casing, but I don't mind it. I think it looks rather sleek in my living room. All in all I think we did alright for our money, especially considering that we bought when you couldn't get a 42" Samsung under $1000 and we bought this TV for just below that.

Known Sound Problem and Toshiba will not fix it

Before you buy this tv, google toshiba regza sound problems!!!!!
Toshiba acknowledges they have a problem with ALL of their regza series tv's and they admit they do not have a fix for it. They should recall all of these tv's and stop selling them until they fix it. The sound starts to warble, echo and diminish to an unrecognizable sound. The only way to fix it is to turn the tv off and back on again, but wait for another hour and it will do it again.
Suggest a class action lawsuit against them unless they recall and replace them.

Extremely pleased

Let's get the cons out of the way: if you're closer than about 3 feet, the backlight shines through, and blacks, in general, are quite bright.

The pros: Wow--everything else is excellent. I had to send back a Philips LCD TV because standard definition TV looked just wrong, I couldn't play Wii games on it, and there was a lot of pixelation around fast moving objects when in 120 Hz mode. With this Toshiba, even standard TV look _excellent_: exactly the way I expect it to look. It has a games mode so that I can play Wii games (and esp. Rockband). It brings a certain smoothness to movement, but there has been _no_ pixelation whatsoever. I like the remote, the advanced color controls are excellent, my computer looks great on on it--I am so pleased with this TV. It has a swivel stand, which is important to me because I have to swivel it within my TV cabinet to get to the side connections. My Wii games look excellent in widescreen mode (if you use a component cable--not the standard composite cable!). This TV was a great price, too. Well done Toshiba.

PROS:GREAT TV FOR THE PRICE.
EXCELLENT CONECTIVITY OPTIONS AND PICTURE QUALITY.
SOUND IS VERY GOOD FOR ENCLOSURE SIZE.
GREAT COLOR REPRODUCTION.
CRISP PICTURE DISPLAY.
GREAT PC DISPLAY.(DISPLAY SIZE VARIES)
GOOD QAM TUNER.
WEIGHT OF TV.

CONS: SOFT PLASTIC(A BIT WEAK CONSTRUCION QUALITY BUT THEN AGAIN HARDER DENSER PLASTIC MEANS EXTRA WEIGHT THEREFORE IT COULD BE A PRO OR CON. YOU DECIDE)
AQUIRING COLOR PREFERENCE MIGHT BE A BIT TEDIOUS BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE DIFFERENT COLOR OPTIONS(IF YOU ARE A PERFECTIONIST THIS MIGHT BE A PRO)
THE 240 HZ MOTION DOES NOT REALLY ADD OR TAKE AWAY ANYTHING EXTREMELY NOTICEABLE.

OVERALL THE TV IS A GREAT BARGAIN AND HAS MANY OTHER TECHNOLOGY FEATURES THAT ONE MIGHT LOVE TO USE OR SIMPLY TURN OFF. GOOD LUCK DECIDING..

Awsome Set, spoiled by bleeding!

After talking with some very informed people, reading dozens of reviews, and watching prices like a hawk i purchased this set on 2/19/10. Amazingly it arrived the following monday and was hand delivered right into my home. Set up was a breeze i love the menu and connections and the aesthetics are impressive. However, in the lower left hand corner of the set there is huge backlight bleeding. It is so bad that blacks and deeper blues look gray. Even after turning the back light all the way down the problem remained. After going back and rereading many of the reviews and NOT finding this issue i can only assume this is a defect. Needless to say amazon is getting a call ASAP. :(

If anyone else has noticed this problem please reply if you came to a solution
