What's great about it: Ordering, installing, setup, picture, inputs and outputs What's not so great: Sound, no PIP, only 3 HDMI inputs
"I read the reviews in magazines and on-line then made my selection based on an excellent show-room demo and a great price. Delivery was perfect. Setup was very easy. I connected my cable box, Blu-ray player, a Replay (similar to Tivo), a Sony 400 DVD carousel and an HP Media Center Extender. Everything worked when I tested each function and connection and it has been working perfectly during the four weeks that I've had this set. On movies and shows I want to enjoy the most, I use a Yamaha receiver with Infinity speakers to push out the sound since the speakers in the TV are quite small, though adequate for watching standard TV programs.
I really enjoy viewing my camera's digital photos on the TV. I use an SD to USB adapter. As soon as that is plugged in, a pop-up dialog asks if you want to view the pictures. You get the ability to navigate folders, move from photo to photo and to rotate pictures 90 degrees at a time. Photos look really great on the Toshiba.
There a few things than could be better. I had read that some of these sets experienced problems after the 1 year warranty so I opted for an extended warranty. There is some off-angle color reduction (which happens in many LCD TVs) but we live in an apartment so there hasn't been more than three people watching the TV at a time and we've all been directly in front. The sound quality could be better. I miss picture-in-picture features that I had on previous televisions but I believe that's gone because of DVRs, pervasive DVDs and the ability to watch past TV shows using the cable's on-demand channels; therefore, not having this feature isn't as bad as it might have been in years past.
Overall, my wife and I love the picture quality. Often we are glued to the set and watch a program all the way to the end because everything appears to be so real."

What's great about it: Easy setup onscreen What's not so great: Hardest thing about this is taking it out oft box.
"We love this tv. We've had this same tv but in the 32" for a few of years an have never had a problem with it until recently. For some reason it comes on but the screen just stays black. Turn it off and back on and all is okay again. So it's still a keeper. We have definately gotten our money out of it and we very much wanted another like it, but bigger. Not sure if we will keep the 52" or go bigger. Got a couple of more days to decide. Ha! The Toshiba Regza is a great line. We HAVE BEEN recommending this tv to everyone that's come over to watch games with us for as long as we've had the little tv."

What's great about it: Very deep black levels, full range RGB support, accurate colors, evenly backlit What's not so great: Some options like 120Hz hidden away in menus.
"Bought this last week at Best Buy. I compared this to the Sony V-series and some Samsung models. I did not care about Ethernet or Internet add-ons. I wanted best picture quality for the price. This TV just looked like it had much deeper black levels and better shadow detail. Sure enough, I get it home, it was better than expected. My home theater consists of Paradigm 5.1 speakers, Onkyo 807 receiver, XBOX 360, and PS3. This TV supports full-range RGB, and super-white. After calibration, blu-ray discs look stunning. SD is very acceptable too. Lots of color control options. The built-in speakers are okay, but if you are buying this big of TV, you really need a 5.1 speaker set to do it justice.
This TV doesn't have a "vivid" mode like other brands, which is okay with me. I wanted accurate colors, not over-the-top saturated colors like other brands. For the price, it was hard to pass up. I put on a blu-ray movie and played the credits. White text on black background looks great. Black is very deep, and the LCD panel is very evenly backlit. No noticeable flashlighting anywhere, except for the upper-right corner. But it is barely noticeable, and only on black screen. The 120Hz option is sort of hard to get to in the menus. There is no button on the remote to turn it on and off instantly. So if you play games and watch movies, you will need to switch back and forth from "game" mode which uses 60Hz to the other modes which turn 120Hz back on. Although even in 120Hz, I haven't really noticed any input lag in games. The only thing is, that when you turn really fast in some games like Gears of War, there is some motion blurring."

"We upgraded one of our flat screens, and toshiba hasn't let us down, HD looks great, sound is good and th esize is perfect for our 2 bedroom home. Our last tv had picture in and many other options but this tv does not. My last toshiba regza lasted more than 2 years until I split the screen so I hope this does the same."

What's great about it: Easy Set up, Great price, multiple picture settings What's not so great: Nothing so far
"So first I bought a 50" insigna Plasma but after a week I knew there was no reason to be half stepping on the best friend i was going to have in my living room so i started browsing again. I went in the store and looked at the 42"'s and up. I was looking more into the samsungs because everyone said they were the way to go. And the samsungs both LCD and Plasma had a lot of impressive features like standard 4 hdmi ports which was good. But honestly I cared more about the picture quality than anything else. I compared the samsung with all other models from Sony to LG and was drawn to the Toshibas because the picture quality just looked better in comparism. Then i looked at the 52" LCDs and the same picture quality was there better than the samsung. I asked the sales assosciate and he was recommending the samsung because he said samsung had a better reputation that toshiba. I went with the Toshiba and have not regreted it. The samsung was way pricier for the same features that the Toshiba had PLUS better picture. I was SOLD."

What's great about it: Easy set up out of box, great picture, great sound, looks awesome!! What's not so great: Couldn't get my tv remote to work w/ Samsung Blu-Ray, no biggie though.
"I have never written a review before but I had to for this. I was replacing a Vizio Plasma and had heard to go to LCD b/c of limited glare. I originally bought the LG 47 inch LCD, but the stand was flimsy and I wasn't impressed with the picture. Did my research and exchanged for the Toshiba 52. It was a great decision. This tv just looks great out of the box and is a breeze to set up. It is solid and sturdy but looks sleek. Brightest picture I have seen and is very clear. Sound is great as well for a LCD. If you are in the market for a new LCD, with this price, you can't go wrong, you will love this tv."

What's great about it: picture quality, price What's not so great: remote design could be better
"Just got this as an exchange for the 4 year old Projection LCD Sony that broke 3 weeks prior to the extended BB 4 year warranty running out. Talk about luck ! The picture is great. If you are a gamer, my PS3 games look incredible in 1080p. The picture is so crisp and vivid. And the sound is definitely acceptable. A number of reviewers have complained about the sound but in my family room (about 18' x 20') getting it half way up is about as loud as you want to get it or it is too loud, so there is definitely plenty of volume available. It might not be Bang & Oluffsen quality, but for our family is just fine.
We are a typical middle age suburban family with 2 small kids. For us, this TV has an incredible value/picture-quality to it. If you are the kind of person that is totally into TV and sound, you might disagree, but then again you are probably spending a lot more money to get what you are looking for.
I adjusted all the settings based on those recommended here: http://reviews.lcdtvbuyingguide.com/lcdtvreviews/toshiba-52xv645u-calibration.html
It did make a difference for the better, the flesh tones looking more natural and overall all the colors appearing less saturated.
Easy set-up of the A/V receiver, DVD player, Wii and PS3 and we still have plenty of inputs left to be used.
For the price/value, not sure you can get much better than this."

"We bought this TV at Thanksgiving and haven't looked back. Consumer Reports had it as a preferred, so we knew we wouldn't go wrong. The picture is crystal clear and really sharp. We were able to program the remote to operate everything - so no need to keep several remotes around all the time. Highly Recommended!"

What's great about it: BEAUTIFUL picture...Vibrant...Perfect...Even the sound is good for an LCD What's not so great: None so far
"I never buy any major purchase without fully investigating the pros, cons, and known issues associated with each manufacturer and model.
Initially, I was trying to decide between a 52" Samsung Touch of Color and a 52" Sony. I investigated both online...both in reviews and in forums. Each had known issues that, while not necessarily deal-breakers, made me sit back and ponder my decision a bit more. I tend to lean heavily towards Samsung TVs as I already have a beautiful Samsung 32" LCD in my bedroom, which when compared to the other 32" LCDs in Best Buy at the time just blew them away.
However, I ran across the Toshiba online and began doing research. It had everything I wanted and got good reviews online and in the "expert" forums. I love Toshiba products....I have 3 Toshiba laptops...1 Toshiba netbook...numerous Toshiba portable hard drives...but I continued to research this set since, as we all know, there are differences across product lines between manufacturers.
This is an incredible set. The picture was great right out of the box. The on-screen interface is awesome...the remote easy to navigate...and the price, even if not discounted, is a steal when compared to the Samsung and the Sony...plus Best Buy gave me a free Blu-Ray player (worth $199) with it.
Best Buy hauled away my old 51" Rear Projection TV (HUGE and clunky) for free. This would have cost me at least $100 plus if I called one of the local firms to take it away. Salvation Army will not take TVs in my area. Their delivery people set up the TV carefully on my stand (Z-line Designs Balboa Park...INCREDIBLE stand).; set up the remote; set up the initial settings on the TV...and I was on my way.
The sound is GREAT for an LCD. I have heard some really tinny LCD TV sound...I have to keep this one turned down so as not to disturb my neighbors. I am considering purchasing a Home Theater system ONLY because it seems a shame to not purchase one when you have such an incredible set.
VERY happy with my purchase!"

What's great about it: It's fully HD, and BIG!! What's not so great: Nothing IMHO
"I've had this TV for two weeks now and it's fantastic. The HD picture is just amazing. The blacks are very deep black, and the whites are very bright white. I couldn't hardly imagine better contrast ratios. The 50k contrast ratio on this TV should be enough for anyone.
If there's one thing I wish the tv had, it would be a fourth HDMI slot. At present, I only have the satellite box using one HDMI slot, and with a blu-ray player coming soon, that will be two slots. Add in a play station 3, and all slots are taken up. I'd like to know that I had the headroom for one more HDMI connection. It's nothing to complain about though, IMHO.
I haven't even heard the sound out of this tv, so I couldn't comment on that. I gave it a four mainly because I assume that no one buys a tv for the built in speakers, if we're honest about it... On the other hand, we all know that built in tv speakers are never all that great, so I couldn't feel right giving a 5 on that.
I can't imagine better picture quality. I guess it's possible, but with my 20/20 vision, I assume that being able to appreciate a better picture would also require 20/20 vision. I'm very happy with the picture, so it gets a 5 from me.
Despite the lack of a fourth HDMI slot, this tv will connect all of my devices, and I'm not too picky about the features anyways. I just want a great looking tv. For folks more descriminating about "extra" features that don't make the picture look any better, a 5 star rating might be a bit much, but for me, a 5 star rating is exactly what this tv gets."

"The picture is right up there with the best LCDs available. This TV is very comparable to the 52" Samsung. I took it home and instantly felt good about the purchase, you cannot beat the quality of this TV for the price. Sure, I could have spent $200 more and got a Samsung that had a slightly better picture. But honestly, you could barely tell the difference after staring at both screens in the store for 10 minutes. Great TV, great picture, great price."

What's great about it: Size and picture-quality-to-price ratio is fantastic. It is a good looking device too. What's not so great: Highly polished stand is prone to finger prints and smudges. Not an issue if it gets wall mounted.
"From the moment the delivery guys walked through the door with the box to the moment i was watching HD channels was approximately 10 minutes. Setup, was a breeze. Granted, I had setup the tv stand the night before with all necessary cables exposed and at the ready.
The only additional setup I have done since the arrival was changing the video mode from STORE to STANDARD. The STORE setting will give you a tan.
When i turned towards the Blu Ray experience, i was so very pleased with the performance. I have an LG Blu Ray player. I was watching the BBC's Planet Earth series and the picture was just amazing. Close ups, action scenes, water, sand, trees, everything was very vivid and reach-out-and-touch-me clear.
The sound is not OK. It borders on the cusp of bad and tolerable. I can deal with it for certain content but i prefer to hear the sound through the AV receiver. This is a common complaint for this product and with several other LCD / Plasma with hidden speakers. So, not too much of a surprise here.
Overall I am very pleased with the product. I still get "wow" moments when watching some content for the first time. If you're on the fence because you think the product might not deliver, get off and go get one!"

"I bought a Toshiba LCD flat screen that worked fine for 15 months. Then the picture went black. (my warranty was only 1 year) To keep a long story short, I had a bad LCD Panel. It would cost more to fix it than to buy one brand new. Toshiba would not stand behind their product, so I had no choice but to junk it and buy a different brand. After reading on-line, I now know that many people have had this problem. I would stay away from Toshiba televisions. Dealing with their customer service will get you nowhere."

What's great about it: Nice picture, in the beginning... What's not so great: Screen failure
"Nice T.V. for awhile, but after 14 months a vertical line appeared on the right side of the screen. Of course, the manufacturers warrantly had expired and Toshiba wouldn't help. Repair estimates far exceeded the value of the T.V. Hopefully this isn't a problem with all Regza units, but I know Toshiba had a similar problem with the 46RF35OU. In that case Toshiba extended the warranty for one year beyond the original warranty. Luckily I bought the T.V. with my Visa card and they provided replacement compensation. Buyer beware!"
