Toshiba REGZA Cinema Series 46SV670U 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with LED Backlight and ClearScan 240, Black Review

Set up is easy – plug in, tweak a few menu settings and you are ready to watch some great TV. I am pleased with the picture quality of SD and HD channels. The TheatreWide feature makes action movies come to life; it is even great for every day viewing save for slight distortion on the edges of the picture.

Note that the screen is not matte – has a very shiny surface so probably not a good fit for a sunny room. I have it in a room with a large sliding glass door and window – no problems for my preference.

The sound is good – I can have it turned up to a good volume to enjoy a movie or sports and it isn’t blasting throughout the whole house.

Overall I really, really like this TV – cresting on loving it.

Now on to the negative: it is now May 11 and I have finally had this TV for a whole week now. Mind you I ordered it on MARCH 7TH; yes M-A-R-C-H.
The first unit delivered was damaged in transit and had to be shipped back to the seller buy.com who is in California. The shipping alone took one week each way then another 3 day processing time for them to pull a replacement TV to ship … back to the midwest 7 days later.
2nd TV – a LEMON. When you turned it on there was a 7 second delay – 10 seconds of picture – then turned itself off for 20 seconds – then back on. Every so-often there would be no picture at all – not even to see the menu or input options – this was fixed by unplugging the unit & plugging it back in per instruction of a Toshiba tech.
The audio either didn’t work or had a significant delay which replicated an echo chamber. Buy.com sent instructions for the manufacturer to process a replacement and arrange for pick up – which took another week.
I have two other Toshiba TVs that have been great (a 27″ digital that is now 10 years old; a 19″ analog that has to be nearly 20) and in my experience has longevity so I was surprised by this faulty unit.
With this 2nd TV / lemon – [...] consented to start the replacement process once the TV was in the shippers possession vs. waiting another week until it was returned to their warehouse. Hello – thank you!
This was the biggest regret for buying online – that there was no brick & mortar store to deal with locally and returns had to go through the shipping game. All & all this hassle of saved me 0-0 from buying from a store. You decide if it is worth it to you.

Customer Reviews

Tight fit – CHARLES R DUDA – MEADVIEW, AZ United States
I purchased a TV entertainment enclosure from IKEA. It said it would accommodate most TV’s up to 46″. The Toshiba 46″ fit into it like a glove. It took some precise measuring for the mount but I managed to get it in with the base setting on the bottom of the enclosure, leaving a 1/2″ opening at the top.

I realized at the beginning it would be more or less permanent, so I cut an opening in the enclosure rear panel to have access to the connections, about a 10″ X 10″ opening.

I also realized that the heat build-up from the TV could be a problem. Contacting Toshiba via email, they responded immediately and agreed there would be a problem and their warranty would not cover it. So on the Plan B. I installed a quiet muffin fan, about 4″ square, blowing out from the opening I had cut. Then I installed a switch at the electric outlet to control the fan. There is some noise from the fan, but ever so slight, and it disappears once the TV sound is on. The cooling is excellent, with the top of the TV barely warm after hours of operation.

My suggestion is to avoid tight-fitting enclosures to mount your TV!

Toshiba REGZA 46SV67OU 46-in TV – Regina E. Haskins – Cohasset, MA, US
This TV is teriffic!!! Great picture; sound quality is the best (I have a hearing problem in one ear, but this sound system is fine); fits exactly in the corner of my living room on a corner cabinet. Amazon chose and execellent vendor for delivery and the delivery person could not have been more helpful and polite. Everything’s great! What else could you say?!!!

The Good and Bad – M. Bogusky – Fairfax VA
TV arrived today 5/24/10 from Amazon.com distributor.
Good: Shipping condition, picture quality
Bad:

TV manufacture date is August 2009! Really, almost a year old! Not as good a deal as I thought I was getting.

PS3 via HDMI does not work at all except in 480p. PS3 via component cable supports all formats, so its not the PS3.

Menu is lacking and fixed audio output audio is so low that my stereo is near full blast to get sound.

Looks like lots of menu options are greyed out. Expansion? I’ve read of firmware upgrade (mine is dated Feb 2009). Anyone know what if there is a new one out?

Already on the fence about returning it and its only a couple hours old.
