Toshiba 46XE2 Product Reviews
Houston we have problem! There are no product reviews for Toshiba’s 46XE2
Cell Regza LCD TV yet. It’s not going to hit the shelves until sometime in October, 2010. But all is not lost. There are other models of Toshiba’s Regza LCD HDTV’s being sold daily, so until Toshiba’s 46XE2 is being sold I thought you might be interested in reading reviews from the other TV’s from the current Regza TV’s with the same state-of-the-art technology as the 46XE2.
1. We bought this TV based on a review in Consumer Reports. The picture is outstanding and we really like the automatic settings for different viewing. You can set the picture for viewing sports, movies, cable channels, etc. and the picture adjusts for each of these. The cinema mode makes any movie look like you are watching it in the theater. We could not be more pleased with this product. The speakers are adequate, but like all flat screen TVs, if you want an incredible movie theater experience, you will need to purchase a separate sound system or connect to your stereo.
2. I purchased this from Buydig, great deal at about $790.
This TV is very light for the size, has a nice case design, great picture
and sound, lots of useful connectors in the back including 3 HDMI, one PC
input (the PC works great). The remote is simple but practical.
DVDs look sharp with my upscaling Teac system using the HDMI connection.
I decided for this model because it looked great in the store compared to the Samsungs, LGs and other brands and because it is a BEST BUY according to Consumer Reports magazine. I still have to try it with Netflix when I get my Roku box.
3. This TV has a great picture and is very easy to use. It got a great review from Consumer Reports and has lived up to the hype.
4. I have had my Toshiba 46XV645U TV for about a week now. It replaced an old RCA projection TV that was HD "ready" and actually had a decent picture in HD bur nothing like the newer tv's I had seen. I was lucky enough to find the TV at Walmart for $699 plus tax with free shipping to my house. It was packaged very well with the factory carton inside a very heavy shipping carton. Delivery was by FedX. The TV is ready to place where you want it when you get it out of the shipping carton's as the stand is already attached to the TV. While my wife put the batteries in the remote, I plugged it in and attached the HDMI cable from my Directv HD DVR and was ready to go.
After a short read of part of the manual, and determining that the picture setting should be on "native" for the best HD picture, we both were amazed at the picture quality. I went to the Direct web site and found the code to program into my Direct remote for the TV. The only issue, as has been discussed on several of the reviews, was after a short time, the remote stopped working until the TV was turned off and back on, and then everything worked OK for another bit, and then it did the same thing. I couldn't get a lot of help from online sources but when reading the TV manual a little closer, found where it stated that some issues were possible with HDMI equipment connected to the TV. I began experimenting with the settings and finally found the one that solved the problem for me. It was the speed setting for the on /off on the TV. I set mine to the fast setting and have had no problem since. I think the other setting was constantly emitting a signal that interfered with the Direct receiver.
The sound for us is ok as we weren't using a theater system on the other TV although I am considering at least a sound bar. It seems silly to have the capabilities of this TV and not use them. All in all, I am VERY pleased with everything from the price, shipping and operation of the TV.
