GREAT LOW COST 3D TV FOR GAMES AND MOVIES,
Toshiba seems to be the underdog in the HDTV market, but they really should be on top!
I play Xbox 360 fps games (Call of Duty and Battlefield), and wanted a 3d TV that could handle games well. I purchased the Toshiba TV over LG and others for two reasons, price and the built-in CEVO chip. It has a built-in game mode, but I have found that it doesn’t really matter because the TV responds very well in all modes.
As for an Amazon review, I had to return the TV because it had a bright light in the upper corner. It was not Amazon’s fault. Toshiba reported that the TV is defective. I have not received a refund from Amazon, but I do not have any doubts because Amazon is amazing! I purchased another exact unit, and I am very happy. Details follow.
PROs
*Cheaper than all other 3d TV models in the 42″ class (as of 12/2011)
*3d TV with 4 pairs of glasses
*240Hz with the ability to turn off
*Smart TV with both, wired and wireless, apps built-in
*The TV is really 42″ diagonally, most other TVs in the class are 41.x
*Color is beautiful, better than the other brand models in my opinion
*Games are amazing with or without 240Hz turned on
*2d to 3d conversion is not amazing, but works well on HD content
*Includes adapter cables for component and RCA connections
*Ports…so many ports on the TV
*Great sound output to sound system (it has so many ports that I decided to use the 1/4 mini-plug for audio)
CONs
*TV takes about 15 – 20 seconds to turn on from a cold start, warm start is only about 5 seconds (my older Samsung TV took 10 seconds, so this is not a big deal for me)
*For the best 3d quality, you need to be eye level (if TV is mounted on a wall above eye level, it may be a problem)
*No HDMI cables included in the box

|Great 3D, Reasonably Priced Glasses,
The real question for me was passive 3D quality. The result is similar to shutter glasses. If there is reduced video quality I can’t see it. The polarized glasses included with the set (4 pairs) are of good quality. I purchased several pairs of used Real D glasses online and they feel a little sturdier(paid $.90 per pair delivered). The other basics: 1080p as good as any TV I’ve seen, good 480i picture, basic(but passable) TV sound, easy setup and a nice backlit remote. Wireless access to some web content, One button to access netflix. Easy access to youtube and a few other video services. Widget availability is almost laughable. Can’t find true access to the web. 2D to 3D conversion is interesting. Not really 3D, but adds a little something to baseball. I was a little worried about the size (in 3d size does matter), but the 3D is good quality from approx 5 to 12 feet. The darker the room the better.

|Very nice.,
Was waiting for a 42 inch from LG but couldnt wait anymore. I was afraid this wouldnt have an ‘in your face’ 3d effect I saw from an LG in bestbuy. But after playing the same LG 3d demo, I am impressed. Ive been using the tv for 3 days now, 3d and 2d is great. Some cons – it takes about 15 seconds to turn on, and sound is not too good. 3d effect on this tv is much better than in the theaters. I recieved the tv the next day. Highly recommended!
