Review: Toshiba 52XF550U

 

We loved this 52-inch Toshiba's narrow-bezel case. But its LCD panel pulsed visibly between dark and light movie scenes — a result of Toshiba's DynaLight...

Decent color reproduction. Classy looking case. Blue light under the logo on the front offers three brightness levels. Seriously

Even with separate noise reduction for MPEG vs. other digital formats, our test source looked noisy. Lots of trouble processing 24 frame-per-second HD sources

Toshiba 52XF550U LCD TV

 

Now that HD DVD is off its plate, Toshiba can concentrate more of its corporate energy on LCD TVs—not that it ever slacked off in that regard.

Toshiba 52XF550U LCD TV

 

At the top of Toshiba's considerable LCD lineup is the 52XF550U, a 52-incher with 1920x1080 resolution and a super-skinny bezel that puts more emphasis on the video image and lets it fit in smaller spaces than models with more cabinetry around the...

Toshiba 52XF550U 52" LCD TV Review

 

February 17, 2009 is the official cut date for Analog Broadcasts in the United States. After this date analog televisions will require Digital to Analog Converter Boxes to get the Over the Air digital picture. Though the government will allow two...

Toshiba 52FX550U™ is a good machine to watch your everyday television. It can be considered for a dedicated Home Theater as well if you don't mind the small size of Cinemascope movies on it.

Excellent choice for a TV!

 

I've waited for three years before buying an LCD TV, and I only settled on this one after a LOT of research. I had to buy it sight-unseen because no local retailers carry it, but I'm more than happy with the purchase.

The picture quality from this TV is fantastic, especially its motion compensation and 3/2 pulldown handling. The scaler in this TV is almost certainly better than you have in your DVD player, so play your standard-def DVDs at 480i or 480p to get the...

Speakers aren't great, but if you are going to spend this much money on a TV, you should have a good surround sound system to go with it. Firmware is not user-upgradeable. Shiny bezel reflects lights. Heavy compared to the competition. All cables must...

Toshiba 52XF550U - Very nice!!!

 

I am extremely happy with this purchase. I love the size, features, inputs. Have a blu-ray, computer and xbox 360 all connected via HDMI and all look great!!!

Large screen, multiple HDMI inputs (3), great picture quality, I'm an audiophile, but the speakers suit my needs just fine, newegg price and service.

Ok the only beef I have with this TV is that it definitely needed to be calibrated out of box. Since I'm not an expert when it comes to calibrating a TV for optimal PQ I had to find a reivew out there that already went throug the process. It looks much...

Great HDTV set

 

Very few stores carry this line from Toshiba, which is too bad. They really should spread the word. Makes equivalent sets from Sony, Samsung, Sharp and Mitsubishi look inadequate.

Excellent picture quality and very bright. Good black levels. This line has Samsung sourced panels. The semi-matte screen almost completely eliminates a screen glare (unlike similar Samsung sets). A lot of options for video calibration. Highly...

Out-of-the-box settings are not so good, TV needs to be calibrated for the optimal PQ. Surprisingly the set is heavier than other sets in this size and class. Built-in speakers a bit on a weak side.

Great LCD

 

great TV - one of top 3 you should consider at this price point - competes with Pioneer Kuro and is 1800 cheaper... great sports - great movies....

5:5 Pulldown for movie sources -- matte/gloss hybrid screen... 3 hdmi 1.3a - decent black levels for an LCD -- no green push as in prior Toshs--- Thin Bezel - great cabinet -- no hdmi sync issues --

speakers adequate but not great, 6 inches deep, with wall mount hard to change adapters...
