Once you experience the New REGZA® with FocaLightTM, it will be hard to watch anything else. New Deep Lagoon Design with Infi nity Flush Front
Inspired by nature and reminiscent of sand disappearing below the surface of calm shores, the Deep LagoonTM design adds a unique feeling of character and style to fl at panel TV. Also inspired by water and taking LCD TV design to the next level, the new Infi nity Flush FrontTM provides a seamless front face that is similar to the surface of an infi nity pool. The combination of Deep LagoonTM and the Infi nity Flush FrontTM creates a stunning, elegant design for a level of stylish appeal that you must see, and will not forget. New ClearScan 240
If you love watching Sports or Action Movies, ClearScan 240TM will put a smile on your face. Some fl at panel TVs just can't keep up with the action.

 Awesome T.V. and a good value July 17, 2010
TechGuy Az
I just recently bought this tv. Very good quality and compared to others in its class, a very good value. I did a lot of research before settling on this tv. I looked at Sony, LG and plasmas from Panasonic. I wanted a bigger tv and was coming from a still pretty nice 40" Sony Bravia. I wanted to get another Sony, but they were just too expensive for the size that I wanted. LG is nice too, but they are kinda new to the LCD tv market. Panasonic had great values on their tvs, but I'm not so big on picture burn in and large power consumption, which plasmas have. I happened to look at this tv because of it's design and the energy star compliance that it has. The TV is gorgeous, especially on top of the tv stand I also purchased the same day for the tv. I ordered from Vann's. The experience was great. The was no sales tax or delivery fee. Delivery was problem free and the tv arrived in good working order. I would definitely recommend this to any of my friends. The only problem I have with the tv is the sound quality. I good surround sound system will fix that problem.

This TV is great overall and even greater value for the money. The feature that separates it from the competition is the ability to control dejudder and 120/240 separately. Some media looks bad when they are both turned on, so ability to turn off dejudder great if you don't want the movie to look like it was recorded with a camcorder.
The remote could have been better: even though you can program certain buttons to switch you to specific inputs (dvd, sat, tv, etc), you have to hold down the buttons for a few seconds for them to actually switch to that input.
No one can complain about picture quality on this tv. The blacks are exceptionally dark. If you make a side by side comparison to a high end 2010 plasma tv when both are turned off, the plasma screen looks so gray that it seems like it is turned on. The difference is even bigger when they are both actually on.
Brightness, colors, inputs, looks, build quality are top notch. No complaints so far.
Toshiba LED matches Samsung LED July 10, 2010
R. W. Sharp (Georgetown, KY)
I recently purchased this TV after longing for a Samsung LED TV. The Toshiba was about $700 cheaper but I have a picture and sound quality that is equal to the Samsung LED TV. When playing Blu-Ray movies and regular DVD's my Toshiba BDX2700 wireless Blu-Ray player up converts the older DVDs to darn near blu-ray quality. I would easily recommend both of the great products. Watching Sports Center on ESPN is worth the look see just for the colors and I mean drop dead beautiful colors that are used on their sets.

This set replaced an ageing 62" Toshiba DLP HDTV which has served me well for several years. Before buying it however, I did the research, read the reviews, and checked them out in the stores. I eliminated Plasma's because IMHO, they look dull, dim, and boring. The only thing they have going for them is their blacks. Their whites look dirty.
So, plasma's were out. Looked at LCD and LED sets from Samsung, Sony, and LG. Samsung, I will never buy Samsung products again. Their customer service sucks. I tried getting a 24" monitor (only a year old) repaired under warranty and they won't repair it, what they will do is keep sending you refurbished replacements that are in worse shape then what you sent them to be repaired. So, I'm done with Samsung. Sony is cool but very expensive and LG wasn't up there.
So, the Toshiba's picture quality and features are unbelievable. Not only does this set have those inky blacks that plasmas are known for, it has the brightest, cleanest whites you'll ever see. I am so glad I purchased this set over any other. Out of the box, the picture is amazing. And there is so much stuff to tweak to get an awesome picture. The screen is beautiful, the picture quality is amazing, and there's enough inputs to satisfy anyone.
The delivery was perfect. Pilot did an excellent job and the TV arrived in perfect condition. All in all, this set is a steal for what you're getting. And as always, Amazon is great!

Puchased this from Beach for 1,575, no tax free ship, best deal I have seen. Slow start to the order process but once picked up by Manna, very smooth process, delivered by two men, unboxed, inspected, they lifted it out for me. Got it hooked up and everything synced.
I have been reading prof and user reviews for weeks on this thing. Nearly spent more on a plasma but I felt I needed a bright screen due to this going into a bright room. The room area as bordered by the seating is around 13' x 14', with the main couch looking straight on from around 13' feet away and a loveseat at about a 45 degree angle x 8 feet away from the screen center. The 55" seems perfect for this space. This room flows into the kitchen area and from the kitchen table 18-20 feet away the picture is still awesome.
I compared to side-lit models and felt this screen with full backlight provided better uniformity, especially after scene changes. It seemed to me that the thinner, side-lit models took an extra second for the brightness to become uniform..I have not noticed that on this screen, scene changes even from dark to light and vice-versa seemed to adjust instantly.
I was concerned about the reflective screen as there are many windows, when the TV is off you can see everything, when on the brightness overcomes any reflection. My other concern was over viewing angle. I see no distortion, loss of color or brightness from over 60 degrees off front dead center(total 120 degree field of view) which more than covers where anyone could view this tv in my room. I spent a whopping 5 mins playing with settings and still get the "wow" factor, given time I will take a more scientific approach with the settings. This is a beautiful TV and I could not even imagine why anyone would spend an additional 1,000 to 2,000 dollars for some percieved big difference in picture quality.
I am convinced that generally, people use review forums to complain about problems, and most people do not take the time to write about good experiences. So, when you read 100 reviews you might see 20% average or poor reviews thinking 1 in 5 are unhappy, but in reality those that are happy dont bother, so, the actual % who are happy/satisfied I would bet are in the 95% range. This is true with anything you might buy.
Went to BB and a couple of other retails to see this against other models. At first I did not even look at prices, as I wanted to focus on pic quality. I did not seen anything I thought looked better.
After exhaustive review reading I do understand that a prof reviewers job it to point out flaws. CNET must have 100,000 dollars in meters, software, and gizmos to evaluate a tv screen. If you read their reviews I am not sure I feel comfortable buying anything. The flaws pointed out on this TV simply cant been seen by me, a person with high expectations and 20/20 vision at least while I wear my glasses. Maybe if you put their $8,000 top pick right next to this TV I could be convinced I could be 10% happier, but for the average consumer its just not worth rediculous money. Two neighbors have walked in over the last couple days and stopped dead in their tracks looking at this picture. Sports are fluid in movement and it feels like the puck or basketball is on its way towards me on the couch.
All in all could not be happier with this TV.
