Toshiba 52" Masterpiece
This TV is a stunning LCD panel.
5:5 pulldown, great upconvert, small bezel, hdmi 1.3a for future...
I still can't believe how good it looks.
If I had to say the negatives...
Panel is in between a plasma and lcd as far as gloss (I think they call it new matt or somethign)... It does reflect some light not as bad as plasma but it does reflect.
Inputs in back are kind of in a bad place for wall mount
Unit is 6 inches thick --

Toshiba REGZA Cinema Series 52XF550U 52-inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV
I was about to buy this TV on Amazon but was surprised to find this at a better price at the traditional local retailer Video Only. There were very few reviews of this TV on [...] which helped cement my decision. I am by no means a pro at evaluating but this is my third LCD TV purchase of which have included a Sharp 37", Sony 46" and now this Toshiba. I used to also own a Toshiba rear-projection HD TV so am familiar with Toshiba televisions. While I have only had it for a day all in this is a...

There will never be a "perfect" HDTV, but...
I have searched far and wide for the "perfect" LCD HDTV for at least 2 years, and there isn't one. If you think you've found one then do not go searching for Reviews -- and stay away from the heavily-active Forums that discuss these items because you will become discouraged.
The first problem is in knowing what to look for. The next is in knowing what to avoid. The third is figuring out if any of this matters to you, in your situation, for your specific needs.
This Toshiba ...

Just got it
I bought this at an electronics store. In a line up of about a dozen 50"+ LCD and Plasma tv's of varying prices, I picked this one out immediately as having the nicest, sharpest picture. I went into the store "just looking" and came out with this TV, spending $2500.00 (about $1000 more than I intended.) Looks great in my room, I particularly like the sleek design (not much border on it). The few HDTV stations I get look great, DVD's look good (not great like they would on Blueray, but I will wa...

Very Impressed out of the Box
Just got this lcd last night and without even tweeking it yet I was very impressed by the color compare to the vizio 46 that I returned from costco.Comparing the two tv's is not an option. Now I can see real blacks and the color is so amazing. How much more if I tweek it, but i dont have time right now due to busy work but I know it will be better when i start tweeking it with my calibration software. Like I said, just right out of the box I am very impressed... Im glad I chose this TV...For so ...

Great HDTV set
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: 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 customizable video settings setup.
Cons: Out-of-the-box settings are not so good, TV needs to be calibrated for the optimal PQ. Surprising...

Best LCD I've seen to date
I have to echo what's already been said here; the gloss of the screen is less than you'd find on a plasma but a little more than on the matte LCD's, though the only LCD sets that I think are actually comparable to this one are the higher-end Samsung and Sony panels, and they both have glossier screens than this Toshiba.
Black levels are stunning, especially for an LCD. Hi-definition sources such as Blu-ray discs are absolutely amazing on this set, the image has that 3D feel to it and ...

Toshiba 52XF550U - Very nice!!!
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: 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.
Cons: 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 optim...
