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

July 4th, 2009

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 Quality item at a great price
I ordered this to hold a 40″ LCD for the corner of our bedroom. The product quality was top notch and the Amazon price was fantastic.

4 Stars Good Product
I had a LCD TV that didn’t conform to the Standard Mounting and A sheet rock wall that wouldn’t support the TV and this allong with the universal connecter made a perfect fit. It was relatively easy to use … suggestion connect the bottom before screwing in the top …

5 Stars Great for DIY mounting
This mount is great for women or beginner DIY projects. It went in easy without any extra parts needed.

5 Stars you won’t believe till you see it!
Though mine was modified a little bit by increasing the lenght of the tube, all I can tell is that this little monster holds my AKAI 40″ LCD in the air with ease. It takes 2 people to carry my LCD but it only takes 1 vantage point ceiling mount to lift my LCD tv in the air with total confidence and assured safety. Just read and follow the istructions on mounting this thing and you’ll never have problem installing it.

My TV is hanging good in my corner area down in my living room and a lot of people noticed what I did and they thought it was intalled by a PRO and I said NO. I said it’s this vantage point celing mount that made this magic. It could swivel any angles I like from side to side and up or down. But for safety reason, tilting up or down needs to be adjusted using a hex tool but no worries, for as long as my kids or anybody is safe with my TV on TOP, I’m satisfied.

Thanks to this product, I could watch TV in any corners of my living room with ease!

5 Stars Great mount
I would and will buy again. Simple to install and use. No adapter plates needed,GREAT. The only thing I would change is some wording in the instructions.

4 Stars Great for small spaces
I picked this up for my mother. She doesn’t have a lot of space, but she needed something a little bigger then her old 15″ LCD. The best thing about this LCD is that it is simple and easy to use. The buttons on the remote are well laid out and are logical. If you are just looking for a simple LCD, then this is it. If you care about audio quality, you need to hook it up to a separate receiver. So simplicity is the key work here.

5 Stars flat screen max o vox
Great everything and a good buy for a LCD use in every day at supper time.

5 Stars Great Small TV Tilt Swivel Mount
I spent some time looking at what different 19″ TV mounts were available. What caught my eye on this one was the HEX bolts in the picture. It fit my 19″ TV perfect. Mounts to the wall nice, and deals with the weight of the TV perfectly. The HEX bolts are as you would expect, you can tighten them using the supplied allen wrench quite tight. Great mount !

4 Stars works fine, but ain’t so pretty
Mounted my 22″ Samsung without any problems, tightened the arm’s joints up, and the thing is solid and tilts/bends where i want it, and stays that way.

however, it does look a little cheap, so i would relegate this arm to the spare bedroom; for $10 more you can get slicker looking arms that will make your new PC or TV look even cooler.

4 Stars Loosens up if you move it!
Just installed this mount.Use 9/64″ bit and don’t let driver chew out screws, cheap screws worked fine.Before mounting I held the mount in position it would hold the TV at and tightend all hex screws,then I put a level on the TV mounting plate.The bracket that screws to the wall was no where near level! I have a 7 pound 16″ TV. This bracket works fine but I would get a peerless, or better mount if you wan’t to move the TV at all.Once in place if you tighten all hex bolts very tight then move the TV,it loosens up and wobbles.TV might fall off if you move it back and forth,it seems to loosen with every movement.The tilt screws also loosen if you tilt the TV after tightening,then it won’t hold TV up.Dont think I would use a TV over 20 pounds.

This mount is excellent for the price if you just want it to hold the TV in one position after tightening all bolts.

5 Stars TILT SWING ARM WALL MOUNT FOR LCD/PLASMA TV & COMP.MONITOR
EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED TO MOUNT A 20″ COMP. FLAT PANEL MONITOR IN MY RV.

DOUBLE SWING ARM AND TILT LETS YOU MOVE IT WHERE YOU NEED WHETHER IT’S TO WORK WITH OR TO SWING IT OUT OF THE WAY FOR STORAGE.

AND THE PRICE CAN’T BE BEAT ANYWHERE.

4 Stars Works well, but doesn’t fit all TVs
The swing arm is sturdy. It fits many standard screw patterns. It has worked flawlessly since I installed it. The plastic cover that goes over the metal was a pain and required some modifications to get it to work in my situation, but worked and looks nice.

Installing the swing arm into the wall turned out to be an adventure. There were no studs behind the wall where I wanted to mount it, and the screw mounts sent with the unit just pulled out once a little weight was applied. You can solve this two ways – use a bit of plywood that can be attached to wall studs, or use some large drywall screws that are used to hang plants and such. I used the drywall screws as I didn’t want to try and hide a hunk of plywood. I had to drill 3 good sized holes, but they are hidden behind the swingarm wall mount. It turned out sturdy and secure.

The one other issue I ran into was I ended up replacing the orginal TV I bought with the swingarm. The new TV advertised they were mounting VESA compliant and yes, the screws did match up – But the TV mount bracket covered up the cable TV connection. Out came the drill and a metal bit, and a few minutes later They cable ran right through the mounting bracket just fine. The lesson here is just because the screws line up (VESA Compliant) does NOT mean the TV will be easy to mount.

When you buy a flat screen to be mounted, look to be sure the cable connection and other important connectors are point down, to the side, or up – but NOT straight back.

The addition of a swingarm TV to the front office was a nice touch – much appreciated by my wife. This hardware gets a recommend – with caution on the mating of the right TV.

4 Stars GOOD QUALITY!
I have no room on my kitchen counter for a tv, so I looked into wall mounting, and this one gave me alot of options. I love it!
