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

4 Stars Very pleased!
After searching endlessly for an affordable HDTV, I am very happy with this one. The picture quality is great, and the sound is extremely good (I wasn’t expecting the sound to be good). I am a bit disappointed that the price has gone down by $20 since I bought the TV last week. But overall, it’s definitely worth the money. i would definitely buy more Coby HDTVs. They’re clear and affordable.
4 Stars Nice for the price
I purchased the TFTV1923 to use for training and display purposes. My most important requirement was that it be easy to carry around and have decent sound and picture. Both are fine, though the sound is tinny. It sets up easily and is perfect for use in small areas and especially in small meetings. I was unable to get any picture reception with a good digital antenna at my home office location. I know the reception in this area is decent, so was disappointed I got no hits on the channel scan. A good buy for the price and quality.
1 Star Waste of Money!
I bought this TV about four months ago, and it worked decently for a few months. Then all of a sudden one day it just stopped working for no visible reason. The Coby tech support was beyond useless in trying to get my tv working again. Their response was “oh well too bad there is nothing we can do.” So now a few short months after buying this tv i have a $180 paperweight. Do NOT waste your time or money on this tv or this company. I am extremely unsatisfied and will never buy from them again.
4 Stars great picture, lame sound
i like the design of this tv, the input lay out is ideal and keeps all my cords organized. i use this for a t.v., computer screen, dvd player and for my wii. the video from all the imputs is great the colors are vibrant and clear and the picture is sharp. the only down side is the sound, i can’t make anything sound good and each device i have plays at differnt sound levels so when the volume is low on my PC it is very loud on my Wii, i’ve had to go so far as to get a set of aux speakers, a bit of a hastle which adds cost to this reasonably priced t.v., not very consumer freindly coby.
2 Stars Cheap you get what you pay for
If you want to save $50 and get a TV that is really built on a budget, this is for you. If you want a TV that will last, spend the extra $50 and get a TV that will be with you for years to come.
The TV looks and feel likes a toy company built it. I love the the remote bends when you push it buttons(It won’t last long). But it doesn’t stop there, the TV has a lot of fragile and flimsy components, but you are getting a cheap TV.

5 Stars Perfect Bedroom TV!
I bought this for my daughter and I have to say it is more then I expected! It has a great picture and the size is perfect for the bedroom! I can’t say enough about this TV; don’t let the brand fool you this is really a great TV and you can’t beat the price!
5 Stars cheap and works great
I bought this tv for my bedroom……this plays great and sounds great….the picture is perfect.You cannot go wrong with this Tv
5 Stars Works great
Gotta love this product. Great price. Great aesthetics. Definitely recommend this. Unless the price jacks up some more. Which it looks like it will.
5 Stars Great Value
I bought this TV through J&R Music and computer and received the TV within 3 days of ordering it. I wasn’t expecting a great TV and for $339.99 who would. When I got this TV, I was very surprised of the great value. The picture quality is ok without a HD source, but with an HD source, the picture is pretty good, not liquid clear, but good for $339.99. What I loved was the ease of setting it up and how my xbox 360 looks when I play games on it, absolutely awesome. I’m in a decent size dorm room and the sound is perfect for it. Overall I didn’t expect much when buying this TV due to the price, but with the very fast shipment, the way my video games look, and the good quality sound, this TV deserved a 5 out 5.
4 Stars pleased
So far I am pleased with this television. The only critical comments I can add are that I had a hard time connecting the cables for the audio output because of the way they are labeled on the TV. Got the video hooked up, no problem, but had no sound, period, even through the TV speakers. I usually have no problem in this department. I called Coby’s customer support after several attempts, and before they would even spend time to troubleshoot, they wanted me to unplug the TV for 30 minutes to let it re-set to factory default, even though it just came out of the box. Well, of course, I had just received a new flat-screen TV in the mail, so I didn’t have the patience and played with it for “30 minutes” and figured it out. Would have been nice if they would have just helped me out, instead of making me jump through hoops. The only other complaint that I have — and I’m not sure if it’s the TV or DirecTV, but the volume on the different channels varies considerably. There is even an option on the audio that is supposed to help with this, and I have tried it on all settings, but it doesn’t seem to help. My other TV’s in the house, including the Panasonic that was hooked up to the same box, don’t seem to have that problem. Of course, with my first experience with customer service, I have not even called — don’t want to have to unplug for 30 minutes and lose all of my settings. Guess I’ll just learn to live with it. However, it does startle my toddler sometimes and makes him cry.

1 Star utter garbage
you will get what you pay for! compare this to a 30 or 100 dollar hdmi and you will see the difference. I have a 46″ 120hz LCD Samsung and the picture was incredibly snowy and fuzzy with this junk out of china. Beware. Not worth the 3 dollars on your new prized electronics.
5 Stars Excellent functionality
I really like the 3ft length because for a lot of jobs, like going from a HDMI switch to the TV, and from the switch to the PS3 etc. longer cables can be a pain (you have to bundle them up etc.). These cables are inexpensive, but they work just as well as any other pricey cable. Read the reviews that explain what a digital signal means!
5 Stars Not PS3-specific – will connect any two devices over HDMI, if they are close enough
[Anyone remembers the old "I am not going to spend a lot for this muffler" commercial?]
The 3 ft. is my favorite length to connect any electronics that happen to be very close to each other.
Just in case someone may feel guilty for not paying a lot more for a premium brand, it should be stated that at this length – 3 ft., you will get as good a service from a no-brand cable as you would from a super-expensive rip-off. An HDMI 1.3 cable should be able to carry, error free, all the signal your electronic equipment may put out.
The FUD campaign attempting to attract buyers toward the more expensive brands makes a series of claims. I will address them, as they may apply to this specific cable.
- Signal attenuation is less over a more expensive cable. – TRUE, BUT that’s irrelevant on a 3 ft. length. The HDMI consortium stated that even the cables that were not ‘certified’ as ‘Category 2′ or ‘High-Speed’ will meet the requirements at lengths of 6 ft. or less. At 3 ft., it would be a waste to consider an ‘expensive’ alternative. In addition, the newer devices have sufficient processing power and are sensitive enough to properly interpret even the more ambiguous ‘digits’ they receive.
- The expensive cables are better engineered and their contacts are less likely to break. – TRUE, BUT how many times is one going to plug an HDMI cable in and out of an HDMI socket over the cable’s lifetime? 5 times? 10 times? The ‘better engineered’ claim has no practical importance. If your cable works on ‘day one’ the odds are that it will be left in the back of your box for many month or years before it is unplugged and plugged back in. If this cable is purchased for home use, the ‘better engineered’ claim should not be of a major concern.
- The more expensive cables are ‘future proof’. – NOT TRUE. Claims are made that, if you buy the more expensive wires you won’t have to buy new ones when ‘new standards’ emerge because the more expensive wire will support them. This is untrue on 2 different levels. First, your cheap cable was purchased to work with some very specific devices which need HDMI 1.3 and will never support the ‘new standard’. The new standards will be supported by new electronic devices but, for as long as you keep the existing ones, you will still need this cable to connect them. Second, the emerging HDMI 1.4 specs call for physically different connectors so, no matter how large a bandwidth the existing expensive cables may support, it won’t matter because you still won’t able to plug them into an HDMI 1.4 port so… there go your $5 or… there go your $200, depending on your having purchased a ‘cheap’ or a ‘top of the line’ HDMI cable.
