 screen flickers randomly, when powered on July 17, 2010
D. K. Yount (Chicago, USA)
We purchased one ~ 2 months ago and had it delivered. Now at random intervals, the picture flickers when it is turned on. Turning off and then back on again fixes the problem, but I'm still going to send it in for repair/ replacement.
 DISGUSTED! July 2, 2010
FRUSTRADEDxAFTERx1xYEAR
We bought this TV 1 1/2 years ago and it decided to act up 2 days after the 1 year warranty was up! Once we checked on the warranty, we kept hoping that it was the fact that we weren't using an HDMI cable - so we bought one. THat didn't help the main problem we were having. The first thing that showed up was a red line down the left side of the screen, eventually turned green and blue. This was the problem that seemed to be solved with the HDMI cable... and FYI: the Topshiba Service people are clueless!
THe MAJOR PROBLEM is the double images, lines and un-viewable picture which we were also hoping was going to be fixed with the HDMI cable. NOPE! Just tapping the TV lightly on the back seemed to help for a while but NOW, it is always there. You can't watch the TV. We are now going to have to take it to an authorized service center. Every TV that I have ever had ATLEAST lasted me 7 years - most 10 years.... BUT C'mon, 1 YEAR! HORRIBLE!!!!! Be Careful - and if it isn't the money, I would recommend a Sony or LG. If it is money, a Vizio or Sanyo with do this same job and last a heck of a lot longer.
Overall, very pleased June 30, 2010

I have had my Toshiba 46XV645U TV for about a week now. It replaced an old RCA projection TV that was HD "ready" and actually had a decent picture in HD bur nothing like the newer tv's I had seen. I was lucky enough to find the TV at Walmart for $699 plus tax with free shipping to my house. It was packaged very well with the factory carton inside a very heavy shipping carton. Delivery was by FedX. The TV is ready to place where you want it when you get it out of the shipping carton's as the stand is already attached to the TV. While my wife put the batteries in the remote, I plugged it in and attached the HDMI cable from my Directv HD DVR and was ready to go.
After a short read of part of the manual, and determining that the picture setting should be on "native" for the best HD picture, we both were amazed at the picture quality. I went to the Direct web site and found the code to program into my Direct remote for the TV. The only issue, as has been discussed on several of the reviews, was after a short time, the remote stopped working until the TV was turned off and back on, and then everything worked OK for another bit, and then it did the same thing. I couldn't get a lot of help from online sources but when reading the TV manual a little closer, found where it stated that some issues were possible with HDMI equipment connected to the TV. I began experimenting with the settings and finally found the one that solved the problem for me. It was the speed setting for the on /off on the TV. I set mine to the fast setting and have had no problem since. I think the other setting was constantly emitting a signal that interfered with the Direct receiver.
The sound for us is ok as we weren't using a theater system on the other TV although I am considering at least a sound bar. It seems silly to have the capabilities of this TV and not use them. All in all, I am VERY pleased with everything from the price, shipping and operation of the TV.
 One of the best values going for an HDTV June 18, 2010

I bought this TV around Thanksgiving of 2009 for around $1k. At that time it was the best value by far for a 46", 120hz HDTV. It can be bought today for $700 and for that price it is an outstanding deal. I just bought another one for our son as no other HDTV at that price point available today can match it for picture quality verses screen size.
The black levels for this set are about the best you can find in an LCD TV. The screen is low gloss which all but eliminates reflections. The menu has a wealth of settings and options. The picture quality is so good it almost looks like 3D.
This set is being closed out and can be had for a fantastic price. The fact it still competes so well with newer TVs while at the end of its manufacturing run shows just how good this HDTV is. If you are looking for a good deal then snatch one of these up before they are all gone.
Fix for the two most common problems with this TV June 5, 2010

I purchased this set to replace an old CRT model and have been blown away by the quality of the picture. Truly one of the best bang-for-the-buck models out there. That said, there are two common problems that people have experienced with this set and others in the Toshiba Regza series. I had both, but have found solutions.
1. CABLE REMOTE CONTROL INTERFERENCE
When the TV is in "auto-view" mode (the default), it emits an IR signal to measure ambient light, and adjusts the TV's backlight brightness accordingly. This signal can cause remote controls for certain cable boxes (in my case, a Motorola DCH6416 from Suddenlink) to work intermittently or in some cases not at all. From what I've read, remote controls for some other devices (satellite boxes, audio systems, etc.) can also be affected. The solution is simply to switch the TV from "auto-view" to one of the fixed modes such as "standard". Granted, this is not a perfect fix as you are disabling an advertised feature of the TV that you've paid for. Some others have reported that separating the TV and the affected device by several feet will eliminate the issue as well, although this may not be practical depending on the physical setup of your system. For me, disabling AutoView solved the problem and I'm satisfied with that.
2. AUDIO DISTORTION/ECHO USING HDMI INPUT
Search the web and you'll find this to be a common issue as well: after several hours of use, the sound can become distorted and tinny, with a buzzing sound and an odd "echo" effect. This affects the TV's own speakers as well as the signal coming from the set's audio output jacks. Toshiba has known about this problem for some time; from their web site (dated 3/26/10):
"To ensure the satisfaction of our customers and to maintain the integrity and quality of our products, Toshiba America Consumer Products, L.L.C. ("TACP") is posting this notice about the 40XV645U, 40XV648U, 46XV645U, 46XV648U, 52XV645U, 52XV648U, 42ZV650U, 47ZV650U, 55ZV650U, 46SV670U, 55SV670U TVs. This is not a safety issue.
Recently, it has come to our attention that users of a small percentage of those model TVs that we have shipped and are used in connection with a set top box via HDMI may experience a random audio echo while watching programming. If this were to occur, it would only be after many hours of continuous viewing and can be temporarily resolved by turning the TV off and on again.
If this audio echo is interfering with your enjoyment of your TV, please contact TACP Customer Solutions at 1-800-631-3811."
The permanent fix is to upgrade the firmware from ver 6.1.43 to 6.1.45 by downloading from Toshiba's support site at [...]. This admittedly is not for the technically challenged, as it requires downloading the firmware executable, extracting the contents to a USB flash drive, then finally applying the patch to the TV via a somewhat convoluted procedure. I initially had some problems, and it wasn't until I manually changed the directory structure of the flash drive to put the boot image file in the root (instead of a sub-folder as created by the upgrade installer) that I was able to get it to work. But then again, I'm a tinkerer with a fair amount of computer knowledge, and I was determined to figure it out by myself. Those not so inclined would probably find that Toshiba's tech support would walk them through the process, and I've even heard in some cases they will send you a flash drive with the patch pre-installed -- all you have to do is insert it into the TV's USB port and turn it on.
These two issues aside, I'm very pleased with this set.
