toshiba 47 lcd panel quotation

Recently, I reviewed the REGZA 46SV670U, which resides at the pinnacle of Toshiba"s LCD TV line. Though one limb down on the family tree, the REGZA 47ZV650U bears a striking resemblance to its kin.

The one major difference between the two is that the top dog SV670U"s LCD panel is backlit by an array of LEDs with Local Dimming. The 47ZV650U"s panel is backlit with the more conventional CCFLs (cold cathode fluorescent lights).

But this new dynamic LED display comes at a cost. The 46" SV670U retails for $600 more than the slightly larger 47" ZV650U. Toshiba is providing you clear choices at different price points. And considering the highly respectable video performance of the 47ZV650U, this less expensive relative in the REGZA bloodline is an option worth considering.

(Editor"s Note: Toshiba also makes a 42" and a 55" version of the ZV650U series, the 42ZV650U and the 55ZV650U. Since all three models have similar specifications, this review of the 47ZV650U can apply.)

Toshiba"s 47ZV650U video performance is workmanlike solid. Compared to last year"s models, this 240Hz display would easily earn a 4.5, but the bar is constantly being raised. The audio output from the integrated speakers is fine for everyday TV viewing.

I like the inclusion of both a USB port and an SD card slot. But this REGZA lacks a LAN port to connect to Internet content. Of course, if you are not interested in fidgeting with widgets on your TV, then add an extra half point. For videophiles, Toshiba provides one of the best picture adjustment tool sets around.

The MSRP for the 47ZV650U is $1699, which is comparable with other 240Hz LCD models from many manufacturers. Surfing the web, I"m finding it in the low $1200 range, which makes this REGZA more attractive. And with the holiday season just around the corner, who knows what Santa might bring.

The screen"s CrystalCoat is touted as stopping "ambient room light reflections from washing out the picture." I still found that the viewing angle was not extremely wide. The farther off center you sat, the more washed out the picture. This is characteristic of most LCDs.

This REGZA locates all its connections in two panels on the right side of the TV. On the edge, the smaller convenience panel contains one HDMI input, one Composite Video In with stereo Audio Ins, and a USB port for uploading JPEG photos, DIVX videos or MP3 songs. Also, on the side is an SD card slot where you can play JPEG photos (no music or video files).

Next to this on the back, a larger panel includes three more HDMI inputs, two Component video (YPbPr) Ins (with matching stereo Audio Ins), one more Composite Video In (with matching stereo Audio Ins), one VGA PC input with an Audio In (stereo minijack), and an S-Video In.

The 47ZV650U does not offer a LAN port, which means that you cannot connect this TV directly to your home network and stream content off the Internet.

I imagine that we will see this web-enabled feature in future Toshibas, but none of the current models include it. Of course, judging from the numerous questions I receive about networking TVs and Blu-ray players, not adding a LAN port makes this TV easier to use.

The EPA states that this Toshiba"s On Mode Power is 156W and Standby Power Consumption is .4W. Based on the formula that the TV is on five hours a day and in Standby for the other 19, the Estimated Annual Energy Use is 287 kWh/year.

Since manufacturers are not attaching those yellow ENERGY STAR tags that you find on air conditioners and refrigerators, you will have to study the ENERGY STAR list to see how the 47ZV650U compares to other 47" TVs.

We use the test patterns to adjust black level, white level, and color bias. The player is set to output a 1080p signal, which is the native resolution of the 47ZV650U.

As far as I can tell, the picture and audio adjustment tools are the same for the 47ZV650U as they are for the 46SV670U that I reviewed earlier. I don"t wish to keep referring you back to that review, therefore, I will reuse some of that text when it applies to this TV.

Now, if you just want to pull the TV out of the box, plug it in and watch the big game, then choose one of the default Picture modes. Toshiba offers six: AutoView, Sports, Standard, Movie, Games, and PC.

Next, I set the Color Temperature, which is in the Advanced Settings Menu. Even with this adjustment, you can begin to see the amount of control that Toshiba is giving you. Usually, the choices are Cool, Normal and Warm.

The 47ZV650U offers a slider from 0 to 10. 0 being Warmest Warm and 10 being Coolest Blue. Standard mode defaults to 7. I pushed it to a neutral 5. As a reference, Movie mode defaults to 2.

For most of you Sunday morning tweakers, working through those adjustments should produce a highly satisfying picture. But for the serious squeeze-every-last-pixel-out-of-a-color-bar-test-pattern types, Toshiba provides you a robust list of fine tuning features.

Finally, the 47ZV650U sports a 240Hz LCD panel. Toshiba uses backlight scanning to jump from 120 Hz to 240. VIZIO employs the same technique and I have discussed the technology in detail in my review of the VIZIO SV471XVT. Please read it if you need a refresher.

I"ll admit that the LED backlit Toshiba 46SV670U spoiled me. It"s local dimming was luscious. This traditionally backlit 47ZV650U simply cannot reproduce such deep blacks.

But when you compare the 47ZV650U with other similarly priced 240Hz LCDs models, its performance holds up quite well. The colors are true, the image is sharp and you can tweak it to match your eye.

Video technology is definitely advancing every year and Toshiba"s PixelPure 5G 14-Bit Internal Digital Video Processing pushes this 2009 REGZA incrementally beyond last year"s HDTVs.

Though when it comes to audio performance, sometimes I believe we are mired in the last century. Yes, the 47ZV650U does employ Dolby Volume to control annoying loud commercials or fluctuations when changing channels. But the basic sound fidelity is still limited by an undermanned speaker system.

The Toshiba REGZA 47ZV650U provides the type of solid performance that you should expect from a high end 240Hz LCD. It does not match the deep richness of the LED backlit with local dimming REGZA 46SV670U. Then again, its lower price tag reflects that.

Designed to perform and look good while doing it, the LED TV will change the way you will look at televisions. But don’t let the beautiful exterior fool you. It’s jammed packed with every advanced feature you’ll ever need for your home entertainment needs. The 47XL700E LED TV has full HD 1,080p resolution, 4 HDMI inputs, SD Card, USB slot and 14-bit Video Processing.

As we stated above, the stand is a large piece of obtrusive plastic. It is a blown up version of what you see on smaller Toshiba models. The scale required to make the stand from a 32"" television support a 55"" television does not translate well. On top of this, the neck on this plastic Goliath is totally static. Getting at the ports will be hard, you will need a young, able-bodied worker with a back strong enough to lift this humungous display and turn it around.

All of these comparable LCD models have a similar peak brightness. Any TV producing more than 300 cd/m2 is bright and will be more than suitable for any room in your house, regardless of the lighting situation. More on how we test peak brightness.

We noticed a very even uniformity on the , both on all-white and all-black screens. With LCD models, we sometimes see the backlighting making uneven cloudy patches in these situations. CCFL backlighting, when done correctly, can produce a more even picture than LED lighting (especially edgelighting) because the tube lights behind the display are distributed all along the screen, rather than placed just along the edges or in clusters.

This Toshiba showed excellent retention of detail in motion. Faces were fully recognizable and tight lines remained separate and intricately rendered. Only a few colors, red particularly, had some minor drag to them, leftovers of the previous frame. We saw that some of the rectangles we move would sport some jagged edges, but this was a minor problem. Mostly, motion performance was a boon for the . More on how we test motion performance.

This Toshiba displays natively at 1080p, and very well at that. If you make sure to set the aspect ratio to Native, the will be rid of any overscan at any resolution. We saw not a single problem displaying high frequency, high contrast patterns (tightly knit lines of black and white that are difficult for most televisions) at this resolution. More on how we test resolution scaling.

This Toshiba was advertised as having a wide viewing angle in the marketing specs. We beg to differ. In fact, we tested viewing angle twice because our first set of data was not very believable, though the proximate results were approximately the same. LCD screens tend to have poor viewing angles, but you can see in the chart below that the has a narrow viewing angle, even in relation to comparable models.

The stand on this 55-incher is totally static. If you like picking up a giant television, with the possibility of tipping such a hefty investment over, then you will be happy with this Toshiba. Otherwise, you will find making connections difficult, as all the ports are on the back and there is no way to get at them without wrenching your back.

The speaker hardware Toshiba provides for the isn"t strong enough for quality sound playback. Two 7W speakers are less powerful than what most HDTVs provide, even on 32"" models.

The USB media port on this Toshiba only supports playback of pictures and music, and only MP3s and JPEGs. These are popular formats for this type of media, but more and more MP3s are being phased out because they are low quality. MP3 was great in the days of dial-up internet, but now that we have broadband, the M4a file, like what you get from iTunes, is more popular.

Looking at all the models in this chart, it would seem like the costs much more than an ordinary LCD screen for an average year of use. When you consider that this Toshiba is a 55"" television, approximately 10"" larger than the others, resulting in about 1.5 times the total screen area, you can see that quite a bit more power should be required to light this significantly larger display. Even so, the is reasonably in line with the rest, showing that it consumes an average amount of power for an LCD.

The LG 47LK520 had some interesting extra features, like a very functional media port and user control of the motion processing. But these features are available on most mid-range LG models, and this particular model did not have great performance. If you are looking for a basic set that will give you strong quality for your money, you will want the instead of this average LG.

Both of these televisions had problems with color temperature. Our money goes with the Toshiba, showing a larger error, yes, but secluded to the darkest part of the spectrum. The Toshiba also had better color curves than this LG, for overall better color accuracy.

We really liked the motion processing on this particular Toshiba model. The LG had great motion capabilities as well, allowing user control over the processing, but it just was not as strong. We will say that being able to control the processing is of greater value than overall performance because, on full blast, any film based content will look wholly strange. On the LG, you can back off the processing until film based content does not look bad, while still having some interpolation for added smoothness.

Toshiba has had a hard time with viewing angle this year. The LG, though still narrow, beats the Toshiba by more than twice the possible viewing angles.

The LG has an extra set of analog ports (both a component and composite) over the Toshiba in this comparison. We also really liked the USB media port system on the LG, which is not limited to the 47LK520, but is available on all LG models.

If you compare the Toshiba 46G310U to the JVC JLE47BC3001, the JVC costs about $150 more. This extra dough provides some LED lighting for a thinner profile, better color performance, an extra HDMI port, and a wider viewing angle. The Toshiba has a drastically larger contrast ratio and a really solid set of colors for less money. It may not look as nice physically, but at this price point, consumers want a quality picture for their money, not flashy design. The Toshiba provides the better value in this comparison.

The Toshiba has a much better contrast ratio than the JVC here, done with a much deeper black level. The shadows will be much richer on the Toshiba than the JVC.

The JVC showed an almost perfect color temperature across the entire spectrum. The strong color curves, paired with a very accurate color gamut show a really strong overall color performance that proves to be superior to the Toshiba here.

The showed us some of the best motion processing we have seen in a while. The JVC BlackCrystal 3001 was strong, but not quite up to the task of besting the Toshiba.

The ($1199 MSRP) is a large and basic television. This year, we saw televisions cramming in so much new technology, from 3D imaging to internet connectivity and LED edgelighting, that it was beginning to look like you couldn"t find a regular, old-fashioned box that would show some quality images without the extras. Toshiba stripped the of all these additions to give consumers an ordinary television with strong performance in all the major categories.

We liked what we saw with this Toshiba. The contrast ratio was excellent, stemming from a very deep black level that did not require a diminished peak brightness. The color set was mostly fantastic and the motion processing was some of the best we have seen in a while.

There were a couple drawbacks though (you would expect some at this price). The 7W speakers are an inappropriate match to a 55"" screen. The force of the picture is not supported by the weak tinny sound from the internal speakers. You can remedy this quickly with an external set. The color temperature showed some severe errors, but only at the darkest end of the spectrum where images will be so dark as to not really have any color. The biggest offense was the poor viewing angle. Even for an LCD screen, the viewing angle has narrow written all over it. Although, with such a big screen, even a narrow viewing angle will cover quite a bit of the room.

All together, this is a high performance television in this price range. We do want to emphasize how large the entire piece is. You will need to measure before you bring it home, and you should consider that it will take over the room no matter where you put it. If the size and look really bother you, consider the very similar Toshiba SL412U for approximately the same price. Otherwise, you can"t go wrong with this big screen, at this little price.

With the adoption of Edge LED technology, this backlit LED TV isalmost 50%* slimmer than our current LCD TV. This is combinedwith the metallic-feel finishing bezel design which gives the TVa truly stunning appearance, making any home look better.

Toshiba REGZA Full High Definition LCD TV seizes the maximumpotential of the HD resolution. The LCD panel holds the exactnumber of pixels (1920 x 1080) to allow pixel-to-pixelreproduction of 1080i/1080p HD contents. Standard definitioncontents can also be enriched to fit the HD resolution,resulting in finer images on screen.

Going far beyond 8-Bit and even 10-Bit Video Processing,Toshiba"s 14-Bit Video Processing greatly increasesgradation levels, resulting in a much smoother and morenatural picture.

Resolution Plus is a new Toshiba technology that elevatesstandard definition images up to high definitionquality. It upscales the image to HD-level resolution,then downscales it and compares the two images.

Only Toshiba"s powerful image processing can achievethis. Resolution+ also analyses and refines the pictureto improve the rendering of edges, textures and depth.

When a HD video signal (1080i/1080p) is input into aconventional WXGA LCD panel (1366 x 768), the signalundergoes a scaling process, which does not output the truequality of the HD 1080i/1080p signal. Consequently, therewill only be 92% of the original picture displayed on screenafter scaling.

Naturally, the amount of light in the room affects how you seethe picture, but until now TVs have not been able to do anythingabout this. Thanks to the Ambient Light Sensor, REGZA LCD TVsare able to respond to room lighting conditions, adjusting theircontrast to ensure optimum picture quality. This smarttelevision will adapt itself to the amount of light in your roomto show the most optimal picture. There is a sensor in the TVthat will detect the amount of light in room the tv is in.

REGZA"s new Full Glare Panel is superior to conventionalhalf glare panels by reducing reflection in bright room anddiffusion in dark room, hence allowing you to enjoyexcellent picture quality in all types of ambient lightingconditions.

Precise adjustment of the backlight behind the pixel array isnecessary to obtain optimum picture quality. In REGZA LCD TVs,the brightness of the backlight is automatically adjustedaccording to a sophisticated histogram analysis of thebrightness and location of dark portions in each scene. Deeperblacks in dark scenes (where dark portions cover most of thescreen) are reproduced by reducing the intensity of thebacklight, resulting in greatly improved contrast.

Most TVs have a colour adjustment knob, but REGZA LCD TVs gomuch further, enabling you to adjust hue, saturation and colourbrightness for each of the six basic colours separately. You canperfectly adjust skin colour or grass colour, for example,without affecting the other colours.

LCD HDTVs have long been compromised in their ability to reproduce the deepest blacks together with good shadow detail. But that’s changing. We’ve seen some notable improvements in a few recent conventional sets. However, the change has been most pronounced in sets that use a revolutionary new development: LED backlighting with local dimming.

Until now, LED backlighting, particularly when combined with local dimming, has been a complex design technique only used in a few very expensive sets (some sets offer LED backlighting without local dimming). Toshiba now shatters that price barrier with the $2,300, 46-inch 46SV670U. (Toshiba also offers a 55-inch version, the 55SV670U, at $3,000.) While 23 big ones isn’t exactly in blue-light special territory, it’s thousands less than what much of the competition demands.

Each pixel in an LCD set acts as a gate, either emitting or blocking light based on the source’s requirements. But an LCD isn’t self-illuminating; the light it passes or blocks must come from a backlight that’s located behind the LCD panel. Traditionally, this backlight is a grouping of fluorescent tubes. Once it’s adjusted by the backlight control, the illumination remains fixed.

Unfortunately, the inherent light-blocking ability of LCD pixels isn’t perfect. Some of the illumination from the backlight can still pass through them, even when the source calls for total black.

But replacing the fluorescent backlight with dozens (or hundreds) of clusters of colored (or color-filtered) LEDs offers a new possibility. By controlling the brightness of the LEDs or even shutting them down completely if the image calls for it, you can supplement the limited light-controlling capabilities of the LCD pixels by reducing the amount of light they must block. Even better, it’s possible to arrange the LEDs in hundreds of zones behind the screen and lighten or darken each zone separately. In effect, the LED backlights provide a source-dependent, appropriate degree of brightening or dimming in different regions of the screen. At the same time, the LCDs block the light as required to render the picture at the pixel level. The two types of devices work together to produce a highly detailed image and deep, rich blacks.

The Toshiba 46SV670U offers a full range of inputs on its side and rear jack panels. These include four HDMI inputs, two component video inputs (Toshiba calls the latter ColorStream HD), and a USB port to play back photos, music, and movies that are stored on USB devices. It also has an SD card slot for viewing photos and a PC connection. But it doesn’t have an Ethernet (LAN) terminal.

When you turn DynaLight off, the LED backlighting remains on, but it’s in a fixed mode with no local dimming. This significantly degrades the set’s black level. The DynaLight control you’ll see on other Toshiba sets—sets without local dimming—doesn’t perform the same functions or offer the same benefits as it does here.

Other Advanced Picture controls include Color Temperature and ColorMaster. Color Temperature includes fixed settings plus separate white-balance calibration adjustments (high and low, red, green, and blue). ColorMaster, Toshiba’s name for its color management system, provides hue, saturation, and brightness control for both the primary (red, green, blue) and secondary (yellow, magenta, cyan) colors.

A so-called Expert mode lets you turn on only the red, green, or blue portion of the signal. This feature, together with an appropriate color bar pattern, is the best way to accurately set the color and tint. People often use color filters for this purpose, but these filters aren’t always accurate, particularly with LCD sets.

According to Toshiba, the auto brightness sensor “automatically optimizes the backlighting levels to suit ambient lighting conditions.” Related to this is the Backlight Adjustment Pro control, which adjusts how aggressively the auto brightness sensor does its job. For me, these types of auto functions only degrade the accuracy of the picture. I left them both off.

Most LCD manufacturers have incorporated a 120-Hz refresh rate in their newest sets. When combined with processing that adds interpolated frames to the program material’s real frames, this feature can greatly smooth motion and reduce motion blur, which is a persistent problem with LCD displays. Some sets even up the ante to 240 Hz, which claims to produce further advantages.

Created in the 1939 merger between Shibaura Seisakusho and Tokyo Denki, Toshiba is one of the world"s largest consumer electronics manfuacturers. Toshiba makes a full line of both CCFL and LED backlit LCD televisions, they also are one of the few left making LCD/DVD combo TVs which are very convenient for smaller rooms or installation where you don"t need components taking up space. The Cell TV, which uses the same Cell processor in the Playstation 3, was shown at CES and sported an impressive feature set but still has no release date.

The L9300 series is Toshiba"s top end 4K UHD line from Toshiba for 2013/14. These TVs feature 4K resolution as well as Toshiba"s new Cloud TV smart TV platform. This provides increased connectivity as well as personalization.

This is the last of the Toshiba lineup to feature the Advanced Cloud TV functionality. You are also getting a full HD 1080p display. It misses out on the upgraded refresh rate and design of the L7300 series above it.

The L2300 series is second from the bottom of the Toshiba 2013/2014 line up. These TVs are available in a range of sizes, making it easy to find one to fit your need. Toshiba advertises these as affordable LEDs with style.

The L1350 series is the bottom of the line choice in Toshiba"s 2013/14 selection. There isn"t much to speak of here. It"s a basic TV that won"t disappoint those not interested in smart TV or 3D features. Picture quality features are lacking, but the picture is not an issue with a good HD source.

New for 2012 the L7200 series represents the top of the line from Toshiba. These Cinema Series 1080p LED TVs have 240Hz processing, passive 3D, built in WiFi and a full web browser. They also feature the new Aero design, a dual core processor and can be controlled using a smartphone or tablet.

The L6200 are the 2nd tier line from Toshiba for 2012. The L6200 differs from the higher end L7200 in one respect, the L6200 has a 120Hz panel while the L7200 has a 240Hz panel. The L6200 is 1080p, Passive 3D and has the same dual core CQ Video Engine as well a 2D to 3D conversion and the new Aero design.

The L5200 series arefairly upgraded models from Toshiba with the new thin framed Aero Design in their top units. The framing bezel is a mere .3" in width and gives the TV a nice "window" effect like many of the better LED Televisions on the market. The 1080p, 120Hz screen is edge lit by powerful LED lighting.

The L4200 series are a line of small LED edge lit televisions for 2012. Toshiba has inlcuded the new 2-Way Ported Speakers w/ Audyssey Premium Suite Sound Enhancement similar to the feature found in the high end models. The 32" and 19" models have a 720p panel, the 24" model has a 1080p panel which means it could double as a nice computer monitor.

The 2012 L2200 series is only available in one size, 50 inch, normally a size reserved for plasma televisions this year Toshiba is making at least one LED TV in this size. The L2200 is a Direct LED TV which means it has true LED back lighting as opposed to LED edge lighting like you find in most LED TV models.

The V4210 series is another series that consists of only one size, it is a 24", 1080p, LED edge lit LCD television with a built in DVD player. This model is an excellent choice for a bedroom or dorm room, at 1080p it can also double as a computer monitor.

The E220 and C120 series are both single size series. These are CCFL (fluorescent) back lit LCD panels. The E220 is 1080p while the C120 is 720p. Each of these make for a good bedroom or second TV to use in other rooms. They are short on the bells and whistles of higher models but they provide good picture quality at a value oriented price point.

The TL515 are a line of LED edge lit LCD TVs with passive 3D capability, Toshiba"s NET TV Service and the new Cinespeed processor. These are the flagship line of TVs for 2011 from Toshiba and they are available in 5 sizes ranging from 32" all the way up to 65".

Last September Toshiba introduced the popular UL605 series to replace the UL600 series. The SL417 will be the successor to these popular models from Toshiba. It has a new look a new menu system and rather good picture quality compared to some other models in it"s price range.

The SL415 series are small TVs that include WiFi and Toshiba"s NET TV Internet TV feature, the 720p resolution is fine for televisions this small and won"t make a noticeable difference like it would in larger televisions.

The G310 are a line of affordable, 1080p CCFL backlit LCD TVs. Using traditional back lighting instead of LED lets you get more features and a higher-end panel at a lower price point.

Toshiba"s G300 series are traditionally backlit LCD TVs with a 1080p panel and ClearFrame 120Hz refresh rate technology. The G300 series is available in three sizes ranging from 40 to 55 inches.

The UX600 series from Toshiba are 1080p, 120Hz LED backlit LCD televisions. They feature internet connectivity with built in WiFi. Access Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and more directly from your TV.

Toshiba"s E200 are a line of smaller sized Full HD 1080p LCD TVs. They feature a 60Hz refresh rate, 4 HDMI inputs and a PC input. The E200 series is available in three sizes ranging from 32 to 40 inches.

The C100 series of LCD TVs feature 720p resolutions and Toshiba"s Photo Frame digital picture frame technology. The C100 line all feature a PC input so they can double as a computer monitor.

The CV100 series of LCD/DVD Combos feature a built in DVD Player, 720p resolutions and Toshiba"s Photo Frame digital picture frame technology. The built in DVD player makes these ideal for bedrooms, kitches and home offices. The CV100 line all feature a PC input so they can double as a computer monitor.

Toshiba introduced it"s new Cell TV at CES 2010, using the same cell processor found in the Playstation 3 game console Toshiba promises a vast feature set and impressive picture performance in this line of local dimming LED backlit LCD televisions.
