Toshiba REGZA Cinema Series 55SV670U 55-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with LED Backlight and ClearScan 240, Black Review

I consider myself a tech savvy. I’ve been following consumer TV lineups and technology for months. from samsung to vizio, yes I checked them all out! This Toshiba does it the best in its class with solid picture quality and performance. if you are looking for an eye candy go get a samsung, but if you want performance in all aspects then this TV is for you.

I bought this set from amazon and had it for about 2 weeks now. The picture is amazing and the blacks are inky, deepest I’ve seen around! video processing is outstanding, handles motion really well. This LED TV delivers a great cinema-like experience.

Pros:

-Stylish single glass design
-Deepest inky blacks – Kuro like
-superior video processing – nicely removes judder and blur without adding video-game look
-amazing screen uniformity
-packed with pro-settings and tweaking menus, graphs, ambient light sensor and auto brightness feature
-Local dimming in its best
-no blooming, clouding, ghosting or flashing issues (known issues with LCDs)
-details in gray-black tones visible
-great value

cons:

-reflective screen (helps to achieve better contrast but could be an issue if you have a lot of windows)
-heavy

I’m very happy I returned my samsung LED for this unit. samsung LEDs (6000, 7000 and 8000 series) suffer from screen uniformity issues!
Buy this unit and you won’t be sorry.

Customer Reviews

Toshiba LED LCD HDTV – B. Warren –
Great picture. NFL Playoffs and Super Bowl were awesome to watch. BlueRay movies are crystal clear. Shipping form the vendor was Fast!

Excellent 55 inch TV – D. Max – Texas
When I was looking to upgrade from my 46 inch Sony Bravia, which I loved by the way, I looked at everything out there. I read reviews on all the 55 inch models and kept coming back to this Toshiba. It is a beauty. Picture quality is amazing. This tv is Huge compared to my old Sony.
If you are in the market for a 55 inch LCD/LED, this tv is a great choice. It has more features for less money than any television out there. Bought mine at a local appliance store, which came bundled with a blu ray player and HDMI cables, surge protector, etc. for under 2k.
Compared it to plasmas which all seemed too dark to me. I even looked at a 58 inch Samsung plasma on the display which had burn in on the screen. The clerk said it had only been there a month. When the screen went dark you could see the burn in. That completely turned me off to plasma.
You cant go wrong with this tv for the money!

WOW!! – Sandra Neville – Lexington, KY United States
Fantastic picture..i can’t give the sound 5 stars only because it is not surround..a great buy! Oh and did I mention how unbelievably amazing the blueray movies are on this set? You really should check out this TV!

Great performance and value – Ray Adams – Knoxville, TN
I researched and compared all the major brands, both plasma and LCD, in 52- to 55-inch size before making my purchase. Looks very good when off, and great when on! Very good sound from internal speakers, great amazon delivery service, and great value. In “real-world” viewing, I’ve never noticed any of the few shortcomings that some online and print reviews have mentioned as minor issues.

I’m not a videophile, and there may be units with better specs, but you can’t beat this Toshiba’s 55SV670U combination of features, performance, and price. Thoroughly satisifed with purchase and highly recommended.
