5 Stars Toshiba is back in the LCD HDTV race
After reading, exploring, researching and hands on comparison I do not regret the purchase of this Toshiba LCD TV. I feel it is an outstanding value for a 52 inch lcd class tv. Toshiba’s new 5 gig processor combined with the 120Hz smooth’s action transitions as well as delivering outstanding darks and vibrant colors. My family room is well lit with sunlight during the day and there is no screen glare. The picture is very clear and sharp as well. The set is extremely impressive with an HD signal. It does almost as well with just a regular digital signal from cable/antena. I also hooked up a older JVC DVD player using just the old RCA cables and was extremely surprised at how good the picture looked. very close to looking as good as HD. I am getting Toshiba’s upscaling DVD player, its on order, and will be using it soon. The remote is a breeze to use. Its simple to find which format to use for displaying the signal. Toshiba has done their homework. They should get back some of their market share that they lost to Samsung. I would stack this LCD against any other 50+ inch LCD HDTV out there. I also am using a Philips home theater sound system and the audio is outstanding. The onboard speaker does an good job for every day viewing but won’t compair to a home theater system. I would buy this product again, hands down. Look closely at this TV if you are looking at 120Hz LCD HDTV’s. I also consitered the 55 inch 670U with the simulated 240Hz. Even if it was a true 240Hz I would have still opted for the 645U 120hz. I believe the 240hz to be over kill combined with the cost difference between the two. Over all I am extremely happy and well satisfied with this product.Toshiba REGZA 52XV645U 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Black

I have used Toshiba’s XD-E500 Upconverting 1080p Extended Detail DVD that I ordered from Amazon several times now. I am very pleased with this Toshiba product as well. The picture looks outstanding. HD quality. i am so pleased that I didn’t get a Blue Ray player but opted for an upconverting unit instead. At $64.00 the Toshiba is at the top of its game. I did purchsase the 2 year replacement policy as some of the reviewers stated that they have had failures with theirs. All in all I am enjoying watching tv and movies at home like I have never before. The Ragza link also enables the use of one remote use for both the LCD tv and the DVD player. Nice. Look at these products if you are researching before buying. Just an awesome home entertainment center paired together. I never thought I would enjoy staying home to watch movies more than going to a theater. My family loves movie night with us or their friends. Again, very pleased with both of these purchases and they both perform beyond my expectations.
4 Stars An excellent TV, but . . . .
I agree with all the positive reviews here, but if you need to use closed captioning, you might want to read Freiwil’s review of the 46-inch Regza at Toshiba REGZA 46XV645U 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Black He is correct in saying that you have to use the cable box’s closed captioning option because CC is not transmitted through the HDMI cable. I called Toshiba to confirm this, and the rep said this is true. I really hate that because the TV has many CC options for font, size, and so on that are not available via cable TV. Also, others have mentioned a set-up issue (the set-up screen occurring every time you turn on the TV) on sets built before a certain date. The Toshiba rep admitted this is a problem, but she mailed a card to insert in one of the slots on the side to update the firmware and avoid this problem in the future. For the price, this is an excellent buy. The technician who set up our TV said that he thought the Sanyo top-of-the-line had gotten around the problem with CC. I hope Toshiba can do that! However, the higher end Sanyo we priced was $1000 more than the Toshiba.
5 Stars Excellent Television at an excellent price
We moved into a new house and were on a mission to buy 3 televisions. After looking at all the televisions out there in our price range, and looking at all the displays next to each other, this one instantly popped out at us. I know we aren’t supposed to judge a tv when it’s next to a bunch of others, but I couldn’t help looking at all the other ones and how my eyes just kept coming back to this model. The blacks seemed darker, deeper and the colors were more vivid and crisper. I ended up buying three 52″ for the house. I’ll start of by saying that the picture is beautiful. It has full side inputs and a lot of rear inputs. One thing to mention is if you are hanging it, the rear inputs are almost impossible to reach and since they point straight back and not downward, there may be a problem with some cabling. Toshiba, like any other manufacturer, put their light up logo right in front and under the screen so it’s in the way when you are watching tv, however, they were smart enough to allow you to turn it off. The control on the tv isn’t great – it feels cheap and doesn’t light up, but does glow in the dark. Changing between channels is pretty quick, not like some tv’s where you have to wait a couple seconds. Watching Planet Earth on BluRay is excellent, except when there is quick panning, such as when they pan to follow a hawk, you can notice some jitter because the refresh rate isn’t as fast. I haven’t seen a football game on it yet so I don’t know how that looks. The sound is not very good, but then again I am not sure of many tv’s that have great sound. I have to really turn up the volume in order to hear it clear. It does have different picture modes such as sports, theater, store, etc. I find store to be the brightest, most vivid and yet retain some really deep blacks, however, this mode is not energy compliant. The tv itself is very sexy. It features a matte screen and it’s anti-glare is very good, expecially in our master bedroom where windows are next to and in front of where the tv hangs. The casing is a glossy black which does tend to gets fingerprints when touching it. Overall, I think this tv is well worth the price and you will be very happy with the picture quality. Take it from someone who owns 3 of them!
5 Stars Toshiba 52XV645U REGZA LCD TV
I’d had misgivings about purchasing such a product online, but some friends had done so with no problems, so I decided to try it. The TV arrived in great shape! The delivery service unpacked it and put it into the entertainment center. I had to hook the cable box, DVD player, games up, but that was no problem. The picture is fantastic! I sometimes felt like I was standing on the side lines watching the opening weekend of college football.
I have to wonder why people let big box stores like Best Buy charge them to deliver and set up their TVs. It really is pretty simple. The Amazon price was $200 to $300 less than any of the local stores that I used to evaluate the various sets and prices, and there were no shipping charges.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with both the choice of the Toshiba TV and the decision to purchase it from Amazon.Toshiba REGZA 52XV645U 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Black

5 Stars Great product
This works just great to mount out flat screen in the small space of our fifth wheel trailer.
5 Stars Excellent construction
This little Omni mount is extremely well built, and assembled flawlessly. If, like me, you appreciate quality components, and exceptional fit and finish in a product, then you will love this little guy….very sturdy and simple to adjust. I paid only $40 including freight at Amazon, and it sells for $100 locally.
I am very pleased, and I am extremely fussy.
4 Stars Under Counter Flip Down LCD Panel Mount
Very pleased with Amazon. Received product a day earlier than estimated. Good price. Local retailer wanted about 65% more than I paid. Installation was a little more difficult than it could be. First they should have included shorter “nuts” for the screws that attach the base to the bottom of the cabinet because if your cabinet bottom is less than 3/4″ thick you must fashon some sort of spacer to make it work. Secondly, these same screws require allen wrenches to tighten. One allen wrench is provided, but you need two (one on each end). I fortunately had extra wrenches but many people may not. Otherwise, product works as advertised.
5 Stars Nice product
Easy to install. It is nice to be able to flip up the tv and to rotate to improve the viewing angle.

5 Stars fit like a glove
have a 52″ bravia – perfect fit, easy adjustments. you do need 2 people though
4 Stars Installation manual could have been better
Solid construction and worked great with my Bravia 52w3000. The price was a bit steep for what it was (maybe that’s for all flat panel mounts) but it fit perfectly. The instruction manual didn’t have the right info for my TV as it was newer, but it was readily available on the Sony website. My beef was that the instruction manual could have been much clearer. it stated that the screws should be 8mm or larger but don’t believe 8mm screws fit the holes in the brackets. Also, the measurement guidelines could have been better although my installation ended up fine.
5 Stars Piece of mind
Heavy duty. Easy to bolt to wall. Made me feel better hanging a 40″ screen with it
5 Stars Sony SUWL500 Wall Mount Bracket
At first I thought this product was too pricey, however, it was well worth the money. I did not have any problem installing the bracket and the t.v. I purchased other brackets before this and when I got it home I ran into problems immediately such as not having the right screws or the bracket was too confusing to install. The installation instructions for this bracket was very easy to understand and I was able to put up my t.v. within a reasonable amount of time without being overwhelmed and I did it by myself.
4 Stars Sony SUWL500 Wall Mount Bracket
We have a Sony 46″ KDL-46Z4100 and decided to use the Sony mount instead of a generic brand sold in most stores. The Sony mount was very easy to install, is black which matches the TV (most generic mounts are a silver color). For those folks needing to, or desiring to tilt their TV, this mount tilts up to 15 degrees if desired.
Once installed the total distance from the wall to the front of the TV is approximately 5 3/8″. If the studs in your wall are sixteen inches on center you should have no problem installing this wall mount. Ours were not and I was emphatic about having the TV centered in the space we selected to install the TV. Our solution was to use fasteners purchased from Home Depot called “WingIts”. The WingIts are rated to 300 lbs each in all directions and may be used in all wall substrates. They are NOT for use in ceilings, walls only. They are expensive but in my opinion worth the price. FYI: The Sony model discussed here is approximately 50 lbs.
Home Depot also sells a special WingIts drill bit which is the precise diameter needed for use with WingIts fasteners. This bit is also expensive at approximately 12.00 to be used as in my case only once or twice. But as the fasteners in my opinion the bit is worth it’s price, after all you installing a $2000.00 TV, what’s another twelve dollars to make the job safe, correct and easy.
The TV was installed two weeks ago and still hanging today so I am very comfortable with our insulation and the use of the WingIts fasteners, they do the job as advertised.
The only negative we found with the Sony wall mount were the instructions. This mount fits many Sony TV’s, from 32 inches to 46″ and there is some variance for mounting the different size TV’s which this mount accommodates. Making it more difficult the KDL-40Z4100 instructions are not in the wall mounts instillation manual which may make deciphering the instructions confusing. The good news is; Sony packages with the KDL-40Z4100 TV, the instructions for mounting the TV and installing the SUWL 500 Wall Mount Bracket.
If the instructions were clear I would have rated this mount five stars.
