Toshiba REGZA 46XV645U 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Black Review from freiwill01. My second Regza, had this tv for about 2 weeks now. it replaces an existing tube tv (also toshiba). got this from best buy when they had it on sale for 1099. delivery was straightforward with original packing. tv came already assembled on the stand inside the box — all you have to do is lift and set it on your tv stand.
standard definition (SD) channels look ok — imo, all TVs (lcds, plasmas) should be able to produce SD signals as good as tube TVs. it’s like software being able to support earlier versions.
HD channels look very good but I just don’t think there’re enough of them out there yet.
initially i had a strange problem via the HDMI connection where it’ll prevent the remote to control the cable box the first 10 min after turning on the tv and cable box. after 10 min, everything’s resumes. scour the web for similar issues and found one post but no solution. my eventual fix is to connect both the coaxial and the hdmi cable and the problem went away.
another surprise with hdmi connection is it does not carry closed caption info, so i can’t turn this feature on and off with the TV remote. This is not an issue with coaxial connection. googled it and the solution seems to be hidden inside the cable box settings: to get to it, you have to turn the cable box off leaving the tv on. hit the menu button on the cable box remote to access the closed caption options.
so far my transition to hdtv has not been as smooth as i had expected but in no part the tv’s fault.
other things i love about the tv is the base it sits on is very wide so it looks extremely stable. the matted screen is great — no more unnecessary glare/reflections. Overall, the tv feels solidly built just like my old toshiba tube.
