So far I am very satisfied with the tv. I love the clear picture,color and how easy to use it.

I was looking for a replacement for a 32 inch Toshiba LCD which has served me well over the years. Deterred by mixed reviews I was looking at everything but Toshiba. I purchased a 37" Vizio XVT series which is an excellent all around television...except for very muddy black levels. It just wouldn't make it as my primary display. I came back to Toshiba and could not avoid the value. A 40 inch LCD with 120 hz processing for less than $700.00...how could I not at least give it a try? I will say that out of the box I thought the picture was just o.k. It took me quite a bit of tweaking to get a satisfactory picture but now I would put the set up against anything else out there. Here is my detailed review:
Design: Nothing fancy here. Glossy black frame with the highly touted deep lagoon design along the bottom. It adds a nice touch but still a very basic nice looking lcd tv. The base does not swivel but damn is it a sturdy platform for this tv. You can also choose to turn off the lit Toshiba logo on the bottom of the screen.
Blacks/Whites: WOW! This is the strong point for this tv. The black level is easily equal to anything else out there and better than most. Letterbox frames are as dark as the bezel! Whites are equally bright and impressive. This being considered it was a nightmare to get the tv to produce satisfactory shadow detail. Finally, I adjusted the static gamma to level 10, and along with my other adjustments have found great detail.
Color: Another setting that I had to mess around with quite a bit. Now I have reds that pop without becoming orange as the Samsungs tend to do and I have an all around natural color palette.
Motion: I have found no problems with motion on this set. Actually, I would rate the smooth motion feature far ahead of the competition. Unlike other lcd's there is no soap opera effect, it is very subtle. Watching blu-ray discs you really get a true film like presentation.
Viewing effects: I would say that the off angle performance of this tv is very good. The matte screen deflects all but direct light. I have read poor reviews for viewing angle but I have to disagree.
Sound: When I first turned this tv on I was horrified. I had read that the sound was terrible but didn't expect it to be this bad. Thankfully after turning off the extend feature, which is virtual surround, the echo was gone. The sound quality is fine! It is not like listening to a hi-fi system but it is clear and fine for normal viewing.
Remote: I have always liked this remote and the Toshiba menu system has gotten even better over the years.
Conclusion: With a little tweaking this is a very good television at an incredibly low price. In addition to sterling high definition performance, standard definition looks better than on most of the competition. If your budget is tight you can have a truly high end television with the Toshiba 40xv645u. I highly recommend this set.
Manufacturer Defect, Beware!

My husband and I bought this television at at retail store and not at Amazon. Since we have had the tv hooked up there has been a reoccurring problem: the sound of whatever is on will suddenly sound as though it is underwater! I instantly called up Toshiba and they told me that they are aware of the problem but have not found a solution as of yet. They advised me to buy a deep color hdmi cord and make sure that the deep color is turned on in the settings. I had done all of this and nothing has changed. In order to make the sound go back to normal I must turn the tv off and then on again. I have continued to call them every time that this issue happens and they tell me that they are logging my complaints. They said they are not going to come to my house to check this out because they say that they can not do anything for me. I say that this is a manufacturer recall and they should not continue to sell an item that they know is a problem. Just thought that I would warn anyone interested.
Excellent picture and okay sound.

This is a great TV.The set has 3 HDMI inputs which is nice though many in this price range seem to have 4. It is the ease in set-up. You literally plug it in, turn it on, answer a few easy questions, and you're done.
The set also features advances picture controls many of which I have not had time adjust but should provide enough control to satisfy any one who considers themselves a video god. Also this TV features basic audio controls (treble bass & balance) as well as features like stable sound, voice enhancing, and bass boost so the control over audio is pleasing.
In short, if you are on a budget but you really want a good lcd tv at least 40 inches then this is a fantastic buy.
Good price, but you might want to look elsewhere

I bought this TV after much research of models in the under $1000 range. This TV has a good price and, when it works correctly, is a nice TV. However, mine has some problem with its sound, where the sound starts echoing after a little while of watching. I can easily solve the problem by turning the TV off and on, but it's still unacceptable for a brand-new TV. I haven't called Toshiba's tech support yet to see about a solution.
