Toshiba REGZA Cinema Series 46XV545U 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV Reviews
I am far to cheap to just run down to a Big Box store a pick up anything more than a soda. I price check everything. I ended up buying this set from a local Conn’s who had a sale I could not beat online (which I found astonishing).
There are some who complain about the green being off on this set. Honestly, I was barely able to see a difference when it was sitting next to one of the $2,600 new Sony models. And since most of us will not be watching the two sets side-by-side, there is no problem. The blacks are deep, the color is rich, there are no artifacts at all, and the uniformity is good.
That said, this TV is not the best on the market. I would not pay more than $1,300 for it. The Samsung ToC’s and Sony XBR Bravia models are nicer. If you are not concerned about money, go for those. I would have. This set, however, is very nice and does the job well especially for the price.

We decided on the Toshiba 46XV545U LCD after much research and reading customer reviews from various sites. We’ve had it for over a month but we are very pleased with our purchase (so far).
Delivery was as promised and the TV arrived in perfect condition. The setup was uncomplicated as the instruction manual was very clear. The picture is amazingly clear and crisp. My wife who does not watch much TV has been glued to it since it arrived. The sound is much better hooked up to our surround system but the built in speakers are good to very good.

Pros -
Picture is outstanding, easily on of the the best 46″ out there. Premium LCD screen at a budget price. Color is off out of the box. Factory settings for green are oversaturated, skintones have a green shade to them. You have to adjust the green in (-13,-11,+7)COLOR MASTER, Color Temp (Medium),(-10)G DRIVE to get it under control, took me some effort but I got them just right without paying for professional calibration.(Don’t get Best Buy to do it, they have no clue what they are doing). SRT works pretty good, it won’t turn SD into HD but it improves the picture. I left my SRT on Mode 3 Level 1(it has 5 levels of SRT processing in 3 modes-15 deifferent settings), most of the people complaining probably have no clue. Too much SRT will make the picture terrible. SRT will be disabled if you have a 1080p/1080i video source. If you have an upconverting DVD player you need to disable it to get SRT to work. Have not observed artifacts in the 120Hz smooth mode like can be seen on the Samsungs.
Cons -
Don’t like the menus on the screen. Don’t like the remote. A power outage caused my HDMI settings to be messed up(orange screen – really weird). Sent an e-mail to Tech Support and got the problem resolved, unplug TV and video source from the wall for 5-10 min to reset it. Color controls in Color Master allow for +/- 30, but using anything more +/- 15 will introduce artifacts into the picture, at 30 the picture will be unwatchable. Other then that not much problems.

After researching for a couple of months I purchased the Toshiba Regza Cinema 46XV545U and have been thanking myself ever since. The HD picture quality is outstanding. Very easy to set-up and the menu was fairly plain to understand. My shopping experience with Amazon was super and would do again. I highly recommend this television and Amazon.com to anyone.

Like many of the other reviewers I did some research, and for the technology, this tv is an excellent value. Setup and use is easy, and the picture quality is excellent for all types of input(relative to the type of input)and good sound also. Been using it for just short of 2 months, with no problems. We we are happy with it so far.
If you hook up a blu ray player to it, or any 120hz tv, be sure to check that the blu ray player is configured to send the correct signal to the tv for the fast refresh. The blu ray player we bought was set to default to the lower refresh rate.
