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.

5 Stars Great value-great TV
I bought this TV for our bedroom; it replaced an old cumbersome set. We have cable, so we are thrilled to be able to get most programs in either analog or digital format. I note the sound is not as loud in the digital programs; however, it is more than adequate for bedroom use. I love being able to play DVDs on the set, and the clarity and color are certainly great….in my opinion! The set would be a little too large for use in my kitchen, but it is great for the purpose for which I bought it.

5 Stars High Quality For My Uses
It’s the only TV in my small apartment – a larger screen would overwhelm both room size and wall hangings. Don’t let the low pixel count scare you off; AT THESE DIMENSIONS picture quality is high. Sound quality is good for voice. As for music. it’s hardly in a minor league team for my table-top BOSE.

3 Stars Perfecet for Harold Lloyd fans
A number of reviews of this TV focus on the lack of audio volume. I ordered the TV assuming that these people were simply fussy. In fact, they are spot-on. The TV is awfully quiet. That said, it’s still lightweight, has a good picture, etc. So if you’re willing to hook up external speakers, or watch silent movies (or if you live alone) – go for it!

4 Stars Easy and Affordable Solution
Bought this item when it was $50, and worth every dollar. I’m currently a student at a university, living in an apartment. I was hoping to find a way to use my 22″ lcd as a TV for game consoles, as well as a TV. The product looks sleek and delivers exactly what it states it will. Sure, outputting from my PS3 at 720p doesn’t look as sharp as it could on an hdtv, but its hundreds of dollars cheaper and gets the job done well enough.

PIP feature is very nice. Noticed that the stand doesn’t really work when all the cables are attached; the weight tips it over. Not too much of a problem, I just lay it on its side.

One issue potential buyers may worry about is the quality out to the monitor through the VGA, or the quality of the audio through the unit out to speakers. Audio from my pc into the box, then out again to my speakers is not very good. Audio from the box (from a game console), however, out to speakers is crisp and good quality. VGA out from a PC to the monitor through the box is fuzzy. I just run a DVI connection out to my monitor, as well as the VGA and switch between the two.

In all, a good product for $50 and an easy solution to convert a PC monitor to a TV.

4 Stars Great
I bought this a year ago for 50 bucks. Great converter allows me to play my ps2 (now ps3) on my computer monitor. Allows composite and YPBR Component hookups. Component looks so nice, the only thing I can think of as a negative is it’s not HD compatible, but it works erfect as advertised. Also Great to convert your Monitor to watch television obiously (Standalone, no PC needed, just the monitor)

5 Stars Excellent Device
I purchased this device to be able to turn an old lcd computer monitor into a stand-alone tv. For this purpose, the device is excellent. The device is simple to set up, easy to program, and produces an excellent picture with standard cable reception. The device has a small built in speaker that I have not tried, and although it may be adequate, I am using inexpensive, plug-in computer speakers, that, I believe, would give a more wide range sound.

4 Stars kworld 1680ex worked OK
This product worked out of the box without too much pain.

I took an unused: LCD monitor, verizon/motorola cable box, and dvd player; hooked them together using the 1680ex and ran the audio to the AUX input on an AM/FM radio.

Everything works fine for a second tv/DVD in the computer room.

picture quality: OK, sound quality: good

Worked so well I went looking for the high definition version of this product but couldn’t find it anywhere.

5 Stars Kworld does not disappoint !
Why a 5-star rating ? Only because I need the YPbPr input featured in the 1680ex. I use this to route my DVD component output to play on my LCD display with the 15 pin D-sub. There is no competing product in town the last I checked. The image output can be selected for 1680×1050, 1024×768 or 800×600 monitors, and selectable for 4:3 aspect ratio or 16:9, using either the buttons on the box itself or the same buttons on the remote. This is quite well thought out to allow different monitors or size to display the image.

BTW they provide the different connector cables for either composite/S-video or component inputs. You cannot do both S-video and component simultaneously. You use one or the other to plug into the gadget.

I have not tried the TV tuner but I have their ATSC tuner (a separate purchase) which provides an excellent reception via cable QAM. I cannot compare the image output of these too products because my DVD output only in 480P, while the cable reception is in 1080i.

Anyway, I am very happy that there is a product out there that allows DVD players to display output onto the standard LCDs.

3 Stars Nice TV for a good price
I bought this with a gift certificate from work. Its a decent TV for the price. The picture quality is ok, although colors are not quite as bright as I am used to. From reading other reviews it may improve when I upgrade to an HD satellite receiver or just an HD antenna which I haven’t got yet. Nice looking, super light and very easy setup. Biggest drawback is that there are no Viore codes for the Dish Network remote I have.

I have one gripe.Reading display characters are so tiny you have to be right up to the screen to be able to read them.I don,t like to get up once seated to read the text.

5 Stars Just right for a lady my age
I live in a mountain range where we depend on towers and relays to get our programs from over 250 miles away. I was hoping to avoid having to get a dish or DirecTV, but ended up needing that anyway if I wanted more than 2 channels. Even the amplified anntenea didn’t help.

The size is perfect for me, and it’s light enough for me to move around and clean behind, under, or put in an alternate spot in the house.

My biggest disappointment is that the remote control code, so that I would just need to use the DirecTV one, didn’t work.

2 Stars disappointed
I purchased this television six months ago. I do not have cable and use an antenna. This tv has a sturdy frame and a very clear picture as well as first rate sound quality for a small screen television; however, on at least one of the major networks this television loses sound and sometimes picture roughly every twenty minutes. I have to move the antenna and/or turn the set off and back on to restore normal broadcast. I have moved this set to different locations and even watched it at a friend’s house to rule out the possibility of interference. Nothing has helped. I spoke to a repairman and he says that there’s probably a problem with the tuning mechanism and that I’m most likely stuck with a lemon. I bought a Sony thinking that I would get quality. I was wrong. Foolishly perhaps, I just purchased another Sony. This time a 22-inch Bravia L-series. So far, so good. No problems.

4 Stars This TV Met My Expectations
I purchased this TV on 6/7/09 to fit on my kitchen counter under cabinetry. It had to replace my existing 13″ CRT. Finding an LCD HDTV with a large enough screen, but short enough to fit under the counter, was a major problem. This Bravia gave me the largest screen available that would fit.

From reading reviews prior to my purchase, I had concerns about quality of picture, stability, look, etc, but I have been quite happy with my purchase. I have it connected to Time Warner Cable, exclusively (I don’t watch over the air HDTV). Compared to my old CRT, the picture quality is very good – color is good, sound is good. The fact that it is 720p hasn’t been a problem because the screen is still pretty small. Point is, I’m not demanding a lot from the TV, but I don’t accept crap – its performing more than well enough for a kitchen TV. One small complaint – it takes about 10 sec to warm up and get a picture when you turn it on.

I have also used it as a second monitor to my macbook pro laptop. It works fine.

It isn’t a beautiful TV, but it isn’t too ugly, either. I bought the white/silver combo. As of July 11, 2009, no technical issues, or failures.

3 Stars Color of TV
When purchasing this TV – no matter what the color of the television says in the description (ex. black, silver, or any other color) – that color will only be on the face of the TV, and the rest of it will be white. If you are aware of this, then you will not be shocked or disappointed when you unpack it. This is an example of a very poor description of a TV. The TV itself is fine.

5 Stars Ed
Good reliable TV. I mounted this TV in my motorhome although the instructions from Sony state that the TV should not be installed in a moving vehicle. I mounted it to a wall mount and it works just fine. Good sound and picture. The only drawback is that I move my motorhome often and the TV autotune takes up to 50 minutes to do an Autosearch to reset available channels in the area.

My old set took only about 5 minutes. Otherwise we love the set and would recommend it.

5 Stars Not a bad TV….
I got this TV to do two jobs. First was to act as separate computer monitor and as a second TV. The SONY does both jobs very well.

We are very happy with the purchase of our 46″ Samsung through Amazon. Not only is the picture great, but the price and service was excellent.

1 Star I hate it – and I hate Samsung.
I purchased this television in early August and it was broken out of the box – bad LCD panel. I contacted Samsung and they talked me through troubleshooting tasks ad nauseum before, a month later, they had a technician come and take the television away. I now realize that Samsung was playing for time to exhaust the return period. What I am told now is that Samsung will not replace the television unless I have to have it repaired three times. The technician still has the television and doesn’t anticipate getting the parts to fix the television until maybe sometime next week – that’s a direct quote. I will never, ever, not ever purchase another Samsung product. I am making payments on a television that has spent more time in the repair shop than it has in my home. Beware.

I think this is a great purchase. I’m glad I got the “630″ because it operates at 120 Hz & I haven’t detected a blur in the picture. While I appreciate being able to choose between 3 sizes of text on the DIGITAL stations, I wish the same were true about the ANALOG stations. I only wish it had some kind of Channel Labeling to be used on the apparently unlimited “Favorite Stations” you can list. It would be a great help when checking out your favorite stations. If it’s there, I can’t find it. Other than that, I can’t find anything negative to say about this item. I’ll only add that in choosing between 40″ & 46″, I’m glad I opted for the larger & you should have a couple of adults on hand for removal from the carton & set-up. While it’s not that heavy, it is a bit large for one person. Also, get an appropriate Surge Protector, so as not to have any warranty problems.

5 Stars Great TV
Beautiful picture. We have lots of windows and there is hardly any glare on the screen on sunny days. The sound system is plenty adequate unless you want a surround system. Remote is easy to use and intuitive. Would definitely buy another Samsung TV.

5 Stars Great TV, Great delivery, Great setup
This is a great TV. Has everything I wanted plus everything needed! Amazon delivered very quickly. Received TV 4 days after ordering. It was great to have it brought in and connected. Couldn’t have asked for more, especially at such a great price. Amazon gets two thumbs up on this one!!!
