Superior picture quality

Superior picture quality

REGZA TVs with LED technology enhance your viewing experience with striking high quality images and highly accurate colour reproduction to satisfy even the most demanding of viewers. LED backlighting guarantees vibrant colours and new levels of picture clarity by constantly adapting to the images on the screen. LED backlighting also enables significantly increased dynamic contrast ratios for blacker blacks and more pronounced contrast been light and dark.

Energy efficiency

LED backlights are more energy efficient than conventional CCFL backlights. In addition to this the REGZA SL series feature Toshiba's energy-saving Eco Panel.

Energy efficiency

Toshiba REGZA LCD TVs which feature ECO Panel are specially designed to consume significantly less power than a conventional LCD TV, without comprising on picture quality. Toshiba's ECO Panel 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 ECO Panel can deliver the same brilliant HD picture quality, with almost half the power.

With ECO Panel, 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 saving you money on energy bills.

100Hz picture processing

Toshiba's 100Hz picture processing technology provides vivid images and ultra smooth refresh rates. Motion blur is drastically reduced in fast moving pictures, such as action sequences or sports, delivering more defined movement on screen.

    Toshiba 42SL738B 7 Feb 2011
    By ROBSTA
    I'll be as brief as poss - TV Looks great, The remote is very cheap but you cant argue for the price.
    The sound is probably the worst I have heard on a TV before the sound reminds me of watching a video through my laptop's built in speakers but I have run my sky hd box through my sony home theatre so can let that one go.

    Now the negatives are out of the way the Picture quality is absolutely stunning in HD, I watched Chelsea vs Liverpool and there was no ghosting very solid and clear picture.
    Standard Def broadcasts are acceptable.
    Hooked up my ps3 and it looks amazing I played dead space and it looks great and handles dark scenes very well, On to the Movies and I ran Despicable Me in 1080p and it looks Awesome, As I previously had a panasonic 42 inch plasma I am used to good pictures and it certainly lived up to it!
    Then I ran the Dark Knight and I did notice that you have to run the TV in Dynamic mode this may have a slight negative but i'll explain, As the TV is back lit when you go from a dark scene to light scene or vice versa the TV dims and lightens causing the tv to look like someone is adjusting the brightness which was a bit annoying but when you run dynamic mode it does eliminate this.
    Also if you are watching the TV in the dark I suggest you select standard mode as dynamic is too bright for standard definition but if you run a bluray or hd source then keep in dynamic mode.
    I also tested game mode and never noticed any difference at all.

    Overall for the price and what you get I would give this TV 5 stars BUT the sound is that poor i will have to give it 4 out of five!

    Update 9/2/11 - The dimming issue that I have described can be fixed - you have to go into the TV's menu and switch off the "Active Back Light Control" The TV actually looks and runs better with this option selected

    Bought this 42" LED T.V, to replace my 37" toshiba LCD. First things first, the price was fantastic for this T.v. I did so much research on all brands, but Toshiba won me over again.
    The 100hz makes the HD really stand out and is tops. The sleekness is stunning. Now for the problems. The lip sync at times goes out,this happens alot while watching films recorded on sky HD, and when back light is switched off white patches appear in the black.

    Recent update.
    Pointless complaing about the sound, get a surrond sound system!
    Played about with the lip sync option and phoned sky as this could also be the reason why its out. So far so good. As for the patches, after fiddling with the picture options depending what your watching, this can fade the patches out. I really like this T.V and trying everything possible not to send it back.

    Another update.
    Had to sent tv back as the lip sync was out of control. such a shame. Returned item and was refunded in two days. Fantastic service thanks Amazon. Also bought 42" Samsung plasma, from Amazon very happy with product.

    i was so pleased with it...but.... the picture was superb.the sound was very thin,but i could overlook that as i have a surround system.then the lip sync started to wander and you had to turn it on and off to get it to lip sync in time on dvd and free views.then some big green lines appereared on it and that was that,so its going back.i really wanted to like it,and wasnt worried about the sound.

    Tv is incredibly slim and absolutely superb quality. However, it is slightly out of sync and you must purchase a good surround system to remedy this.

    LED Edgelit, not backlit
    This product information page states (or infers) that this product is LED Backlit, it is in fact LED edge-lit. This is simply not the same thing and should not be confused. Read more
