1 Star Cant review what is NOT released !
Amazon took pre-orders on this set prior to their claim of a June 1st release date. Unfortunately according to Toshiba direct they have not even released this 670u unit to the market yet ! That is why now Amazon is claiming 1 to 2 months delivery when if it was in stock the delivery would be a normal 1 week.

5 Stars So beautiful that I wept.
I had spent a year researching and saving for a TV. I had originally decided on the Sharp 65″ Special Edition….but then the 2009 models started to show up.

I went around to my local stores and started to check out the latest and greatest of 240hz teli’s and checked out the Samsung LED which was the only LED tv I could find in town. I was impressed and decided that the Sharp was no longer enough.

I started to research the big three LED/240hz/55″ TV’s I could find, the LG, the Samsung, and this the Toshiba. I ended up buying this one because my research pointed to it being the best.

I waited for 6 weeks while Amazon said they didn’t have them and eventually bought it from Beach Audio through Amazon. I mounted it up on the wall myself and sat down to see how it looked…

I popped Mission Impossible in the ol’ blu-ray player, cranked up the 7.1 surround, and watched….

It was amazing. My wildest dreams were surpassed by light years and I wept in the warm glow that filled my living room. This TV is amazing.

Also, Regza-link seems to work with Bravia-link since everything else I own is Sony. It was really hard choosing Toshiba over my old friend sony…

4 Stars Toshiba 55SV670U review
I have had this Toshiba 55SV670U for about one week. My decesion to pick this set over the Samsung 7100, Samsung 950, Sony XBR8 and LGH90 did not come without a carefull examination of the picture quality on all the sets. (I eliminated plasmas as they appeared rather dim to me.)

My desire was high brightness, sharpness and high contrast ratios. The weight and thickness was not that important as I only planned on moving this set once or twice. I will be looking at the picture more often than looking at the side view.

This model Toshiba is now using a similiar front layer as Samsungs and it has improved the contrast ratio signifiantly. The blacks are much darker using this front material. I know it will reflect lights from behind me, but I’ll block the window with a shade…. I would rather have that problem 10 % of the time than have the matte finish distort the picture 100 % of the time.

The only way to improve contrast ratio is to locally dim. All the above do locally dim except the Samsung 7100. I questioned how the Samsung 7100 could have a single backlight and be able to make selected areas blacker. I found this Samsung set to have a slight blue hue over the whole picture. However, the Samsung 7100 would have been my second choice.

The Sony XBR8 and the Samsung 950 had the best pictures – just too expensive for the RGB backlighting and Just not worth

$ 1500 to $ 2000 more to me.

The Toshiba 55SV670U gave me the local dimming, an anti-reflective coated contrast window, 120 HZ scan rate and a bright long lasting LED display. I am completelty satisfied with this set…. and with and with its much lower selling price.

Drop in Mr and Mrs Smith in Blu Ray and you will ever regret purchasing this Toshiba

5 Stars release
I like what I’ve read about the SV670 line, will hold off on the Samsung un55b6000 for now. Big deal on the shipping it’s pre-release no reason to give it a single star.

1 Star Started well – premature failure
We bought a Toshiba REGZA about 18 months ago and were very satisfied. However, it just developed a major screen problem (1 inch by 3/8 inch dead spot), only a few months past the 12 month warranty. We contacted Toshiba, who was “unable to assist us with the cost of the repair.” It is out of warranty so they are within their rights, but it was a major cost to our limited budget and I would be reluctant to recommend it to others.
