Active Vision II
Active Vision II is our acclaimed high performance picture processing system. It has been designed to produce high quality, high definition images by enhancing core elements of a television picture:
Detail: Images are now spread over a larger number of smaller pixels compared to a conventional LCD TV. This allows highly detailed images to be produced far more accurately across all colour tones.
Colour: Active Vision reproduces colours with more tones than conventional LCD televisions, producing images with reduced banding for a smoother, more realistic colour progression.
Movement: : Picture sharpness in fast moving scenes is increased, with a reduction in the jagged edges often seen on lines and fine detail.
Contrast: The continuous monitoring and automatic adjustment of contrast, enhances detail and increases the ability of the television to represent subtle shade changes.

ECO Panel
Toshiba REGZA LCD TVs which feature EcoPanel are specially designed to consume significantly less power than a conventional LCD TV, without comprising on picture quality. Toshiba’s EcoPanel technology utilises materials of the highest possible quality and clarity to construct an LCD panel so translucent that as much as half as much light is required to illuminate it as compared to conventional panels.
A TV with a conventional LCD panel requires powerful backlights to illuminate the screen. This is where most of the power consumption comes from. By reducing the amount of light required to brighten the screen, REGZA LCD TVs with EcoPanel can deliver the same brilliant HD picture quality, with almost half the power.
With EcoPanel, you can relax knowing you LCD TV is being kind to the environment and saving you up to 45% of your TV’s energy consumption.
AutoView
AutoView technology automatically adjusts picture settings depending on not only room lighting, but also the content being watched. The ambient light sensor constantly adjusts the LCD’s backlight to provide a better viewing experience. In light rooms backlight is increased, in dark rooms backlight is dimmed.
The technology eliminates the need to constantly have to adjust the backlight brightness and colour settings in order to find the best viewing experience in all environments.
AutoView means that your REGZA LCD TV will be performing to its full potential, delivering the best possible picture quality at all times.
Dolby Volume
Dolby Volume stops those annoying fluctuations in volume during commercial breaks and when switching between channels or sources such as your DVD player or games console, providing a more enjoyable viewing experience. It also provides a full and consistent sound experience at all volume levels, even low volume.
Sound Navi
SoundNavi technology provides even stronger sound projection, enabling integrated TV speakers to powerfully direct audio to the nearest hard surface and amplify sound in the same way as freestanding TVs. You can also adjust the audio direction of TV speakers once wall-mounted.
Full Power Down
We have fitted an On/Off switch in response to the concerns expressed by many consumers who would prefer to turn their television off completely..All models are extremely energy efficient, but we take our responsibility to the environment seriously and will always do everything we can to minimise the impact our products have on our surroundings.
Digital TV
Between now and the end of 2012 the UK will be turning off all old “analogue” TV transmitters and switching your TV signal to “digital”. Digital TV offers new ways to enjoy your TV. You will have a greater choice of TV channels as well as access to additional features and services which will enhance your TV-watching experience
When the digital switch happens in your area, your older analogue TVs will no longer be able to pick up a signal. To keep your normal TV service running, you will need to convert your TVs to digital before your area’s switchover date.
Switching your home to digital is easy. All you need to do is purchase digital tuner and connect it to your analogue TV or alternatively, you can replace it with a new digital TV. All Toshiba LCD TVs carry the Digital Tick and come with Freeview built-in, making them the ideal option for preparing your home for the digital switch.

Customer Reviews
One of the main reasons I settled on this model was the built-in Freeview HD tuner. I wasn't disappointed - the high definition broadcasts on BBC HD, ITV1 HD, Channel 4 HD and the recently launched S4C Clirlun all look stunning, with nice, vibrant colours, deep blacks, and great picture clarity. Though the number of high definition channels isn't exactly high by anyone's standards, having the (ex-)terrestrial channels, which arguably provide better content than most of the other free-to-air channels, in high definition is certainly enough to make the Freeview HD tuner worth having, and there are bound to be more HD channels launched over time. Standard definition broadcasts, expectedly, aren't quite as clear, but still look great, and the 'Resolution +' feature does a good job at bridging the picture clarity gap.
Despite other's complaints about the sound, as long as you're not an audiophile, it really is fine. If high sound-quality is a must-have for you, it's easily hooked up to a peripheral speaker system.
Also worth mentioning is the remote. The buttons are of a nice size, it's fairly ergonomic, and it isn't cluttered with rarely-used functions. Instead, you can find all those little things that you're only likely to ever adjust once in the menu. It's great for someone like me with large hands and would be ideal for an elderly person.
It has an abundance of inputs, including 4 HDMI ports, 2 SCART sockets and even a VGA port for if you want to hook it up to your PC; it's unlikely you'll ever find yourself using them all and running out.
Like others have mentioned, the TV is a little slow at switching on and changing channel, though the latter is easily remedied by making use of the great 8 day EPG, and the former shouldn't be too frustrating unless you're particularly pernickety about that kind of thing.
When using it with my Xbox 360 (using the official composite cables), games look brilliant. The picture is crisp and sharp, there's great colour-depth, and no noticeable motion blur. One thing that initially almost put me off this TV is the (relatively) high response time, and 50hz refresh rate (now 60hz is pretty much standard in most HDTVs), but rest assured that both of these are basically completely unnoticeable, especially when you're not actively focusing on them.
This TV, for me, hit all the right boxes, at a price that was just too good to turn down. It's actually hard to think of reasons not to recommend this TV; I am thoroughly impressed.
The main reason I opted for this model was the fact it came with a Freeview HD tuner, which means I can save £100+ on a new tuner when Freeview HD starts in my area in September. Until then I can't comment on that functionality however I have tried the TV on 1080p with the Xbox 360 and the picture is fantastic: very sharp and no blurring. Standard TV pictures are also crisp and sharp, probably due to the Resolution+ upscaling system. The TV also has some clever features such as adjusting the picture settings based on ambient light levels and also when there is a lot of black onscreen.
As for sound the TV has 'Dolby volume' (Google this) which normalises the sound when the adverts come on or you change channel or input. This really does work which surprised me, no more reaching for the remote when the adverts come on. The sound in general is very rich (this is where my Samsung TVs have tended to be poor) with plenty of bass and no case reverberation.
I haven't tried out the LAN networking feature or USB, these are a bit gimmicky for me, but I'm sure they will appeal to some people.
Finally, the case and remote are attractive and the TV is very responsive when you push the buttons. Also, the Toshiba logo is softly illuminated on the case, which is very cool.
Recommended.
Afraid I can't comment on gaming, network or amplifier links, nor on Freeview HD as our area hasn't switched yet. My current set up's very simple, with just Sky and a DVD recorder linked via Scart.
Picture: Sharp with deep vibrant colours, and a warm tone that can be adjusted to a cooler setting. Blacks are very good, not whitened out towards the edges. It comes with 4 picture settings: `Standard' (bright & colourful), `AutoView' and `Movie' (duller, muted, good for night-time viewing), and `Dynamic' (fry-your-eyeballs). If you're tuned to one of the AV input channels there's also a fifth picture setting, `Game'. All settings can be tweaked to change colour, brightness, contrast etc. The impressive bit is that each input channel retains its own picture settings so, for example, you can set the TV to `Standard' and the DVD channel to `Movie'. Smart stuff. I personally think the picture becomes a bit `white-smoky' and loses some colour if I'm viewing at much of an angle, but then I find that with all LCD tvs, so it's not a particular criticism of this one. The stand has sufficient sideways swing to position the tv for the best angle.
Sound: The default settings are perfectly acceptable, but I found it a bit tinny and reverberating above a certain volume. Switching on additional bass and stereo improved this enormously. You can set default volumes for each AV channel individually. Dolby Volume can be turned on to even-out volume changes and this works fairly well when set to High (on Low I found some of the sound a bit too muffled).
Other features: The tv recognises activity on its AV inputs (eg playing a DVD), automatically switches over to that channel and if necessary resizes the picture. Signals from input channels are excellent so long as the Scart's properly connected (roll on HDMI!). The tv's factory defaults are sensible, such as powering off after 15mins if there's no signal, but all of these can be changed. Everything is accessible from the (very long!) 21cm remote control, and there are several tweaks you can do to make navigation as efficient as possible. The extended manual is comprehensive but opaque: you have to read between the lines to work out what it's saying, and it gives no clues as to why you might want to change a setting. `Suck it and see' seems to be Toshiba's philosophy. I found it comforting that everything can be reset to the factory default, either individually or for the tv as a whole, so if you fiddle too much you can reset and start again.
Freeview EPG: The 8-day Electronic Programme Guide is nice & bright with 13 channels per page, 90 mins across, and is easy to navigate from the remote. The TV, Radio, and Text channels are separated into different EPG listings. Reminders are straightforward to set up and reliable. Individual programme information is more than ample, including description, start/finish times, time left to run, SD or HD etc. It also gives `Next' and `Also' programme info. Other neat features include being able to create your own Favourite Channels lists, so you can jump to a favourite tv or radio station in a couple of keystrokes. You can also Skip, Renumber and/or Move channels so they're grouped together more logically in the listings, although `Move' currently loses its settings once the tv's turned off. Sometimes I've found that the EPG is `unavailable' when the tv's first turned on, but switching to another channel sorts this out. Hopefully these minor glitches will be fixed in a future software upgrade.
The only negatives I've noticed so far is that the tv can be very slow to warm up - from Standby to full picture & sound can take anything from 5 to 10 seconds & more - and changing channels is also quite slow (3-5 secs) as the tv seems to double-tune into the new channel. Other than that, I've got no complaints. I recently watched `The Normans' in SD and the picture was stunning: deep blacks, lush colour, fantastic detail; and the sound, though set fairly low, was perfectly clear. All in all I'm very happy with my purchase: a clever, future-proofed tv at a great price.
The sound is incredibly poor compared to my previous set (a Teco TA3296. Read more
Very clear picture and fairly simply instructions to follow.
Has met all the things we required from a television.
