Toshiba REGZA 46XF550U 46" LCD TV
Toshiba's high-performance 46XF550U employs their display technology to deliver vibrant, lifelike images. Most high-definition signals are broadcast in 1080i, and this set's "Full HD" 1080p resolution allows it to show every bit of detail in every type of high-def signal ? regardless if it's from cable, satellite, or over the air. A slender black bezel enhances the 46XF550U's slim flat-panel design.Fast refresh rate eliminates motion blur. Superb picture clarity requires both high resolution and accurate motion handling. Toshiba has significantly improved their ClearFrame 120Hz anti-blur system to deliver on-screen motion that's even smoother and clearer than before. This advanced new video processing does far more than simply double the frame rate. It includes a "5:5 pulldown" option that delivers an exceptionally film like picture when displaying 1080p/24 video from high-definition disc players.A natural picture ? no matter what you're watching. The capable 46XF550U also gives you a great picture with standard definition video. It features Toshiba's exclusive PixelPure processing that cleans up and improves the look of lower-resolution sources. And DynaLight technology creates deep black levels while maintaining image detail and contrast by monitoring the brightness of each frame, then adjusting the backlight intensity accordingly.
Review:
Toshiba 46XF550U LCD HDTV
This underpowered, overpriced HDTV does not stand up well to the competition.
It's hard to imagine why Toshiba thinks that the 46XF550U is worth $2500. It came in fifth place out of nine competing 46- and 47-inch HDTVs in our April 2008 image quality tests. Our image-quality judges detected an unduly sallow complexion in the characters in our According to Jim clip. I thought that the Return of the King standard-def DVD clip suffered a bit from an oil-painting look, but I was quite impressed with the quality of the Blu-ray Mission Impossible III clip (a fellow judge thought that it looked a bit grainy, however).
