Toshiba 46ZV555D Review – 46-inch LCD HDTV

 

Toshiba 46ZV555D. With the launch of the world's first upscaling LCD Flat-panel TV, the Toshiba REGZA ZV series is attempting to revolutionize the HDTV market. The 46ZV555D is ultra thin with a sleek bezel look and has many of the high-end features...

With 1920 x 1080 native resolution, the Toshiba 46ZV555D has the highest definition signal currently available. Besides the HD Ready 1080p technology, the new 46ZV555D has a gamut of color enhancement features. Like the Active Vision M100 HD feature,...

Toshiba Regza 42ZV555DB television review

 

Toshiba of late have launched a number of products in which they have pushed the benefits of upscaling. We've seen this in notebooks, DVD players and now the introduction of Resolution+ in their ZV range of TVs. The claim is that this will upscale your...

Good rich sound, price, upscaling cleans up SD noise, proper "off" button

Freeview image not fantastic, upscaling comes with caveats, EPG and menus look dated

For us, the Freeview performance stumbled against rivals, but this is still quite a lot of screen for your money. Is this the resolution revolution that Toshiba promised? Not quite

Tosh's new telly promises “near HD quality” images, no matter the source – but can it really deliver the pixel-perfect goods?

Its upscaling isn't as revolutionary as it claims, but this is still a capable TV with fine image quality and a decent price

Toshiba Regza 42ZV555D 42in LCD TV

 

Resolution+ makes another appearance on Toshiba's 42in 42ZV555D LCD TV. What does John make of it and the set?

The 42ZV555D underlines Danny's finding that Resolution+ is a hugely worthwhile technology that genuinely boosts Toshiba's standard definition LCD picture quality to a level up there with the very best of the rest. It's just a pity that on this 42in...

Toshiba Regza 46ZV555DB review

 

We had high hopes for the Toshiba Regza 46ZV555DB's Resolution+ upscaling technology, but we just weren't that impressed with its performance when dealing with real-world material. The HD quality of this TV is great though, and sound is good enough for...

Good HD picture ; Simplicity ; Films look very good

Styling isn't as attractive as the picture-frame range ; Price is too high ; Resolution+ isn't that impressive

If you can bear to lose six inches, we love the Toshiba Regza 40ZF355D and think you should get one of those. At this price point, however, Panasonic's 1080p plasma TVs are within reach, and almost certainly a better bet if you're a movie lover

Toshiba Regza 46ZV555D 46in LCD TV

 

It may not have worked in a DVD player, but Resolution+'s upscaling prowess really shines in Toshiba's 46ZV555D LCD TV.

The 46ZV555D boasts terrific performance and a comprehensive feature list, which makes it feel like a real bargain - particularly when you consider that similarly-specified 46in sets from the likes of Sony and Pioneer cost a lot more. Resolution+ makes...

Toshiba 46ZV555DB

 

The 46ZV555DB is a typical Toshiba ? solid, likeable, and right on the money

A very solid, natural and detailed picture for the money; a not-unpleasant warmth to images

Resolution+ isn't amazing; contrast is a bit limited

Toshiba 42ZV555DB

 

Toshiba seems to have been left behind somewhat by the latest crop of new flatscreens

Enjoyable black tones ; good with motion (eventually)

TV tuners don't convince ; so-so 1080p pictures ; unpleasant sound

Toshiba Regza 46ZV555D LCD TV

 

HDTV may the buzz phrase of the moment, but there really isn't that much of it about. Yes, the number of Blu-ray films is steadily increasing, but on TV, the fact that it's corralled into separate channels suggests that it's still not quite a...

Resolution+ picture processing boosts quality of standard def pictures from TV or DVD sources, and Active Vision M100 HD delivers smooth 100Hz processing. There are plenty of connection options too

Standard def pictures aren't quite as close to HD as Toshiba suggests. The processor occasionally boosts onscreen noise as well as picture detail
