Mini Reviews Samsung 3D LED TV 55C8000's how I see
Friday, April 13, 2012
I tested the Samsung 3D LED TV model C8000, which is considered "New" and "best picture" of Samsung in this year, I have just a few minutes to played out fantastic functions. I believe that some one are not familiar with 3D TV and I would like to pushing tell you in this review.
Development of 3D TV technology
Wednesday, February 8, 2012
3D TV technology is constantly evolving, this article will present various types of 3D technology from past to present.
1. Anaglyphic 3D technology (Passive)
This technology used "Two-colored glasses" generally red and blue, for filter color to the left and right eye that want to make 3 dimensional of the image. This Anaglyphic 3-D movie have both as a DVD or movie in HD such as Monster VS Aliens in the Bly-ray or The Final Destination that use Anaglyphic 3D technology.
Pros: Glasses, both paper and plastic are cheap.
Cons: Not realistic 3D images.
Equipment for viewing Anaglyphic 3D.
1. DVD or Blu-ray movie disc format Anaglyphic 3D.
2. Two-color glasses that match the following colors red-blue / blue-yellow / pink-green (the glasses color must be consistent with the movie).
3. Normal TV (LCD TV, Plasma TV, CRT TV), not necessarily 3D TV.
2. Polarized 3D technology (Passive)
The principle of Polarized 3D is displayed even line picture (2,4,6, ... 1080) for the left eye (540 lines) and the odd line picture. (1,3,5, ..., 1079) for the right eye (540 lines at left). The display quickly switches even and odd line to the eyes this call Line by Line medthod. 3D Glasses for Polarized have lenses for the left eye get only even line picture and lenses for the right eye to get only odd line picture, that take quickly swap left and right and make three-dimensional image. Polarized 3D TV for release in 2011, including LG LED LW6500, Phillips PFL7606, TCL V6300 and "Cinema 3D TV" from LG. The Imax 3D cinema use Polarized 3D technology as well.
Pros: Most fly out 3D image dimensional, lightweight glasses does not require batteries, pictures not blinking.
Cons: Separate line picture left and right for half that decreases the contrast of the image.
Equipment for viewing Polarized 3D.
1. Polarized 3D TV.
2. Polarized 3D Glasses.
3. Polarized 3D Content (Line by Line 3D Content).
3. Active 3D technology (Frame Sequential 3D)
Principles of Active 3D is to send full-frame fast switch to the left and right eye (as at 60 frames per second). It makes 3D images are overlapped between the left and right, 3D Active Shutter Glasses that alternately open and close quickly left and right. Active 3D be used in TV such as Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba like Samsung 3D LED TV (D8000, D7000), LG Plasma TV PZ950, Sony HX925, NX720 Panasonic VT30 and released in 2011.
Pros: The picture is sharp more than Polarized 3D.
Cons: Glasses need batteries, need to connect (sync) optical Infrared signals to the TV all the time, making the limited viewing distance, flashing of glasses.
Equipment for viewing Active 3D.
1. Active 3D TV
2. 3D Active Shutter Glasses
3. Blu-ray player with 3D models that can Output HDMI V1.4
4. 3D Content.
Synopsis: This article was made you to know more about the type of 3D Technology. And now, for the most 3D TV were implement Active 3D (Frame Sequential).

Principle of 3 Dimension Imaging
Tuesday, February 7, 2012
Today, 3D TV was very popular. You want to know that the 3D imaging technology for TV and movies are a few types. Let's start with the first 3D visualization models.
What is 3D image?
3D or 3 Dimension picture is a picture that can see "shallow, deep, thick, thin" clear more than 2D picture. Comparison with 2D images the 3D will make realistic and makes you feel into to be realistic place, that is why the TV production attention turned to the production of 3D TV.
The 3-D visualization.
3D images were created by physical principles of the two sides of the man's eyes, When see to the objects there are in different positions (because the left eye and right eye were separated about 3 to 5 cm.) and when the two eyes result are combined, we will see 3-D image. With this simple principle when the picture was taken from the left and the right to gather together. We would like to see the 3D image.
This is principle of 3D imaging in the next article I will discuss the type of 3D that has evolved from past to present. See you...

Samsung UN46D8000 3D LED HDTV Every Bit As Good
Thursday, January 26, 2012
All of the Smart TV from Samsung ar the art deep for entertainment, The Samsung UN46D8000 3D LED HDTV sizes 46 Inch. For a commitment strongly in the development of 3D TV to reach the highest image quality and complete connection.
The Samsung UN46D8000 46 Inch 3D LED HDTV has occurred with any modern design, the capabilities of the art by Samsung One Design bezel is slender as come for visual impression of more screen, less frame and Samsung's cinema-quality 3D technology brings realism to be displayed in 3D movies and TV programming. buy a 3D TV from Samsung is definitely worth it.
I saw this 3D TV when I walk into a department store and I decided to buy it on the same day. When TV came up with one word that I say Wow! and now I have to get more information from Samsung's website, where it was felt that the motivation cost for me for purchase of Samsung TV in this year, because I have not found any problems. (I probably would not use it much).
The black level is wonderful. For the 3D effect are cool and I have to leave this is my first 3D TV, I saw a film in 3D in some theaters but I've never had that experience at home. For features that are included with this TV is great, I like the added NAS support, it works really great. I have a Synology NAS and when I connect it at the first time on my home network the TV detected my NAS and listed it as Synology. I would little comment about DLNA, it is no User Interface in graphic art or pictures for the movies, however the titles show will work just fine.
Pros: The level of black color and normal HD programs are crisp and clear, it does not make me tired eyes for watch it, with a small bezel making it perfectly compatible with the wall of my house. The features for it to be perfect and many others.
Cons: Exceptions are the remote, I want to remote control like iPhone, I think the keyboard is still too small for me. I want this more than a little bit port connection whether it is HDMI, USB or Optical port.
However, the overall picture of all of this 3D TV. I was very happy with it and I think that within 1 to 2 years, I still get the fun of it, certainly. I give it a full five star rating.

Sony BRAVIA KDL40EX720 40-Inch 1080p 3D LED HDTV
Wednesday, January 25, 2012
If you want HDTV to be delivered to perfection of 3-D video and audio formats. Sony KDL-40EX720 will meet your needs as well with state-of-the-art technology for a smoother high-speed action scenes and clarity picture. You can also easily connect to the Internet for your streaming media, Skype video calling, or open your files over your home network, and so many proven, you will be amazed 3D entertainment with 3D glasses.
First I would like to tell you that good HDTV designed . I like the quality of materials that it used (Some of it does not look good, but when compared to other LED LCD HDTV, it will look better). It does not look like the EX series HDTVs earlier, the bevel on the bottom is gray similar some of the EX7xxxx model. I love the menu system it has been developed from other models in 2010, the 2010 Bravia HDTV line designed for the Playstation 3 and PSP menu system to work together easily. For the EX720, I recommend all 2011 model which was developed to be different from the PS3 and PSP, but it also works together seamlessly. I find that I use it a lot easier and better than predecessor.
The remote control works great for this HDTV, some keys are designed to be in a position to do an outstanding work above and beyond. The 3D button is enabled stereocopic 3D mode, when you press it again it will be turns off. You can get everything into 3D by Bravia to emulate 3D effect for non-3D content. For the other buttons on the remote, it consists of a quick netflix toggle, internet video, Qriocity as well as very easy Home button.
The internet video works without a problem. I watch youtube videos straight from HDTV and testing browns online music libraries, though my High Speed Cable.
The Ex720 may not be the best of the Sony 3D HDTV in 2011, but it has enough features for HDTV capability, and a good one. I can only say that its a competitor for best.
The North American, The EX720 was assembled in Maxico and for a conventional LCD. This HDTV may not be a problem for some people to buy HDTV.
- It has 40-inch display with full 3D HD (1080p) picture quality (1920 x 1080 native panel resolution)
- LED backlighting for incredible contrast, slim design, and energy efficiency
- Sony's X-Reality Engine sharpens images for a clear, vivid, life-like picture
- Internet TV for wide variety of streaming media and other Internet content

3D TV
Rip the rules of TV by 3D TV, It is not only the traditional 2-D image, which is a wide and long, but 3D TV works by simulating the sense of depth by using the fact that We look at things. With an eye on the two sides separated by a 3D TV was invented, based on the distance of the human experience. The viewer sees the image in a new perspective. In television, it looked like the images seen by the naked eye quite a lot these days and Sony has developed BRAVIA LCD TV Full HD capable, the sharper the image. Experience in 3-D entertainment is delivered directly to your home today.
Internet Video & Google TV
There is also a television, which combines 3D technology with all the Sony 3D LED TV with Internet TV that allows us to watch your favorite video from various video sites. Also known as Video Streaming directly to your computer through the hassle anymore. Using a wireless connection instantly with Built-in.
Using Internet Video function, viewers can select the speed interface to the Internet has two levels: 1 Mbps for video viewing. SD (Standard-definition video) and 2 Mbps for video viewing.

Toshiba 46WX800U is perfect 3D LED TV
Sunday, January 1, 2012
I've been 46WX800U on two days ago and when turn it on It has a very clear picture looks better than my old DLP 61". It looks realistic, colorful images perfect to use 3D glasses with 3D content, it works very well. Xbox 360 is simply amazing, and a new freshness to all games, especially Black Ops. It also tried a regular DVD, the best up convert to 1080p I have ever seen. I have no complaints.
Price for value:
I'm not someone who jumps at things with newest features; I wait for when the prices come down a bit and features are more stable. But when this TV was offered with free 3D starter and Blue-ray DVD player, it just did it for me. I totally think it is worth it.
Shipping:
I was impressed that all of the items arrived faster than scheduled, but sending them all together would have been better. They arrived at different times and you need to be home for TV to sign, but not the other ones. They just left DVD player (in rain!) without even bothering to ring the door bell. Luckily, I have a security camera that sends me Email when someone comes to my door and I picked it up quickly (isn't that cool?).
Size, look, setup:
All perfect and easy here. I setup it up alone, but it's a bit heavy and 2 people would be safer. I was in market for 55", but the bundle was not offered with that one and I went down to 46" with some reservations. That was a good decision; the size is good enough for my family room; they all look smaller in the stores with so many large TVs. It's an edge-lit LED (not back-lit) and the bright LED TV you see in store is just a marketing mode. But I already knew this and wasn't that surprized.
Internet TV:
Initially, I thought this feature is redundant bcz the DVD player does the job. But without a doubt this is the coolest feature for me so far. It comes already setup to work with yahoo widgets such as weather or news and also youtube videos. You can customize and constant access to say weather for your favorite locations. However, here is also when I took one star off: the wireless receiver is pretty weak. I have 4 laptops at every corner of my house with good reception, so it must be the TV. SW upgrades are already available, but it failed to download 3 times until i moved my wireless router right next to the TV from office. I need to take the router back to office, so i have to settle with intermittent internet connection. Bummer, and here goes one star! Hope DVD player has a better wireless reception. Bottom line you might need a wireless signal booster if your TV is far from your router.
3D:
I haven't got to test this yet, bcz i don't have a 3D movie yet. Would it kill you to throw a low-end 3D disk in the bundle? Now I have to write to Santa, so someone gives me a 3D movie just to test my bundle:-)
Summary:
Excellent deal! I have never spent this much time with a new TV.
Cons: weak wifi reception -> may need a signal booster ($60-$70)
Pros: everything else.

Toshiba 55WX800U it can do everything I want
Friday, December 30, 2011
Now, has many 3D TV come out in the markets. Each model has different features and prices. I was not very knowledgeable in HDTV depend on the net for information. But when I read many reviews I have been found that it have a conflict both in quality and reasonable price, so I decided to buy this Toshiba WX800U 55-inch 3D LED TV because it's the right size and fits well with my room and worth the price for me.
I want a TV that is easy to play PS3, Blu-ray/DVDs, watching movies, sports or TV shows. The sharp and without any problems. I think that all new TV sets need to be adjusted to suit the pictures that we want. It just depends on personal like and preferences such as light.
For 3D, I Don't know or care. I've seen the best 3D TVs (and by that I do mean 'most expensive') in action and wasn't impressed by those so I could care less about the technology. (I read conflicting reports on the matter with this TV)
Internet browsing? Again, don't know or care. I browse the net with my computer so anyone complaining about that feature is like complaining your phone takes crappy pictures compared to your camera.
And there's a load of other features of which I haven't used and don't really intend to. If those are really that important to you, I guess you'll have to cough up extra dough for a "better" model.
It does have a reflective screen namely during dark scenes in a movie, but in my experience so do all TVs to an extent. I suppose this ranks somewhere in the middle in that regard. Just buy a rotating wall mount and/or close the curtains if you're watching a movie with lots of dark scenes.
The only thing I really not like for this TV is that I get a strange green light when watching DVD. Which I think is due to I go setting the image and it would be lost when I move it back to normal mode. Right now I use it about 2 months and WX800U very compatible with my PS3 or Blu-ray good use. For my opinion it's worth the price. If you have more budget, I'm sure you'll find something better at higher price, but if you're TV want like me. I'm sure you are satisfied with the purchase of Toshiba 55WX800U 3D LED TV, of course.

Toshiba 46WX800U Awesome 3D TV - Just Set It Right
Until I found this Toshiba 3D TV. The 46WX800U compared the performance it seems to be no less than $2000, but since it is the market a long time. Its price has been reduced more than half. The old blu-ray player use well and we use 3D active shutter glasses really good. I would like to explain in detail below.
1. Ordered the 46" model on the 15th and requested the delivery on the earliest date of the 22nd of March. You will schedule a date and time so you will be home when it arrives, usually a week.
2. I got a little anxious and downloaded the owner's manual. You should really skim through it because some of the negative reviews here could have been avoided if they read it.
3. Pilot freight arrived and tried to give the television to my neighbor. Thank god I walked outside because the creep would have signed for it and I would have had a monster dispute on my credit card. I told the pilot guy, "it that supposed to go to my address?" He said, "oh, sorry about that." He carried the TV into my house after noticing the correct address and asked if I wanted to take it out of the box to ensure it worked. Since the box had no damage and it had to go upstairs, I declined because the box was in great condition. I had to sign a paper indicating I did not want to test the television and he said that the 30 day guarantee was still fine, it would just delay the return by a day or two if there were any problems.
4. The box is pretty big and everything was packed well. The box weighed about 65 pounds and was long -you may need help to set this up. The assembly instructions and tools are included for the stand. Spacers are included for wall mounts. Assembling the screen to the stand is alright but you should do this while the plastic wrap is still covering the screen on a soft surface. Once you plug it in and hit the power, it may take a few seconds to turn on so don't worry.
5. Setup guides you through everything but the applications aspect, just hit the widget button to set everything up. It is not too complicated but anyone without good PC experience may run into problems. My firmware was the most current except for the widget software. Have a computer handy to make accounts and set up features like Pandora and Netflix.
Pros:
-The TV is sharp, picture quality is great, and daytime viewing is excellent. I went to Walmart to pick up a stand the day prior and looked at cheaper models. It was comparable to the $1000 LG model but offered the 3D option through the promotion, making this the best priced 3D LED LCD flatscreen on the market right now.
-The wireless is fast but setup may have issues, explanation in tips.
-The black levels are great, if you have dynalight on. I will talk about this more below in the tips section.
-The streaming through DLNA works great but there is a con there too, I will get back to that in the tips section as well.
-The sound does not travel too much outside of the room. It is great for bedrooms. If you are a sound buff that wants bass, get a tuner and speakers.
-Component connections are ample and positioned well.
-The Netflix, Blockbuster, Vudu, and Youtube options can save you the expense of another $100 device to buy and manage.
Cons:
-You can still see some reflection on the display in bright rooms. It is not as bad a some televisions but if I focused on it, it was there.
-Some of the setup options may be a bit complicated for some users. Please review the manual because it can save you a lot of hassle. When setting up options, remember to look at the bottom 1" of the screen for options that are detached from the main option screen and it can be missed easily.
-The television was a little crooked on the stand even though the holes lined up. The only fix is to set it on the floor and loosen and re-tighten the hex screws again.
-The widgets can be a little complicated. I still have not found a way to remove some of them that I do not use. You can easily remove the ones you downloaded but items like flicker are permanent.
-Netflix does not give you the advanced genre features like the PC, PS3, XBOX, Roku, and other devices. I would like to see the selection categories and hope they add it in the future. I like the fact I do not have to turn on and control and additional device to watch it but it will only allow you to see your instant queue.
-The wireless access point search ran for 5 minutes on me. I had to power the TV off and on again before they would show up in the assisted setup list.
3D quality:
I currently have a Samsung 61" DLP with checkerboard 3D ready and the quality of depth is amazing through a PC. The depth is incredible and was so inciting, it got me into the 3D generation. The problem there is the setup; I had to buy a kit for $150 to get it to work and it is limited to the power/options/games/software that your PC has with very limited device support. So far I have only tried this Toshiba with the PS3 and was not happy with the gaming results, however, the movies looked pretty good with medium depth. I did see very little ghosting on the video but Killzone 3 was absolutely horrid. Motorstorm was at best "OK." I read that since the power on the PS3 was limited, it cut the resolution of the 3D games in half and ghosting is a game was a big issue. So please don't expect to get something great from a gaming console. I don't know about the XBOX 360 but hopefully, it will not be the same case. If you want to get the most of your 3D with this, use a PC with software like Tridef (they have a 14 day trial) with at least a DX11 video card with 1GB of RAM. I upgraded from a ATI Radeon 5750 to a Radeon 6870 and can play Fallout New Vegas at 1080P with all setting max with a pretty good frame rate of 40FPS average. If you have an earlier card and want to see some really good, jaw dropping 3D, play Half Life 2 with the Tridef software trial. It is what 3D is supposed to be.
This 46WX800U 3D LED TV is a really good product. And worth the price. It is compatible with the Toshiba computer screen, allowing you to do anything more. 3D is great for work, but you have to pay a little more money to buy equipment. I was very happy with this purchase and expect the TV to last at least 10 years. So, for $ 10 a month you could end up with a really nice piece of equipment that will give you years of enjoyment. I was really excited about this and. this is my first, real, in-depth review. I would have appreciated this before I bought it and hopefully it will help you in making a choice for a premium product for a bargain bin price. Hey, just go look at the prices of. other 3D TVs and you will see what I am talking about.
Method of setting good picture for Toshiba 55WX800U 3D LED TV
Thursday, December 29, 2011
Now I have WX800U 46 inch, but I think it is in the same setting, and because I'm not an expert. I think I'll call the setting of successive approximations.
There are about 7 different types of my setting are PC, Standard, Movie1, Movie2, Sports, Games and AutoView, which of these settings will be adjusted according to the type of input.
First,I've gone through and set all the sound settings on all of these image modes (for all inputs) for the same settings that I like, I found the best for sound. So, if you change your image mode does not change the sound of wild confusion from the one or the other picture settings.
Now this is done I went and set the picture settings in order from dark to light, so that a change in the menu (in the sequence of installation photos), I took the results between weak and strong. I was considered the darkest PC, I put that, if you want very little of an image can be used at all, just enough to what is happening. Maybe listening to music like Pandora. In any case, the PC settings are very weak. Backlight 25 Contrast 40, Brightness -30. I think the TV with my PC use these settings make for a good light on the desktop. I want to look like something to take pictures photoshop or something, then I choose everything above PC.
Movie1 backlight 30, contrast 90, brightness 0. movie2 backlight33, contrast 50, brightness +6. that leaves autoview with everything centered and standard as 50,75,+30. and game and sports are even brighter. I watch movies, and generally just tweak the movie settings for slight differences that would only depend on the movie of the moment.
Once you change inputs, you'll have to do this again for a new input, like composite video from a vhs tape player, or component from a dvd. My main movies are on the blu ray player. After a few go arounds with inputs, you can get MOST of the picture settings established at settings like those above.
As a last step, then I adjust ( from dim to bright) by choosing the appropriate name of the picture setting, and then make small adjustments to the setting that is closest by tweaking (just for that media on the given input). So i am slowly honing in on a favorite set of picture settings from different inputs, and different media on those inputs.
The macro view is still going to remain -- dim to bright -- inspite of all my small changes.
Maybe after owning the set for a while you can report back here what settings you have honed in on for the various inputs that you have been using with your wx800u. See, not very scientific, huh?

Toshiba 55WX800U 3D LED TV For Gamer Reviews
I was the one who likes to play games. Even today that not have much time to play it. Today's game was gradually made to play behind in 2D or 3D. For gamers to play in 3D game is new exciting and more fun challenges than 2D games.
Of course, in addition to play 3D games, you will have use more device that supports 3D games, the key is that 3D TV and 3D glasses your TV. And you do not want to the game lag by your 3D TV because of the performance of 3D TV complain.
Today I will write to Toshiba 55WX800U 3D LED TV because when I read many reviews, I find that most of the points in terms of clarity of 3D images and display are high level and I will put a review of one gamer to even consider it. I hope that it will be useful for gamer who are looking for a good 3D TV for playing 3D games. Here are some reviews of it.
The picture clarity on this 55WX800U TV is amazing, the 240hz really makes a difference! I am using a PS3 as this TV does not have 2D to 3D converting.
I have played four 3D demo games and 3 of the 4 had a significant ghosting, even after trying to switch the 3D modes (top-bottom, side-side). You still get the 3D effect; but if I had to choose between playing in crisp 2D and double visioned semi 3D, I would choose to play in 2D. The 4th demo called Super Stardust HD had no ghosting whatsoever and in one word the graphics in this game was simply breathtaking! I suspect this is because this games does not have a wide array of depths like the other demos (2 racing, the other is a block game).
Also, there is a slight input lag while in 3D game mode. This lag is no where near as severe as when you are not in game mode (ie auto, movie, sports) but it is noticeable. This can be particularly detrimental when you are playing fighting/action games when perfect timing is crucial. As of right now (December 2010), Prince of Persia is the only 3D action game I know of(I have not played this game in 2D or 3D). The easiest way to see this lag is with the Move controller. When you are moving the controller from left to right (not particularly fast), the screen will show the controller to the right when the physical controller is already to the left.
One thing about the Move controller is that you will always see a brightly colored floating orb reflection on this 55WX800U TV. Learn to ignore it. There is nothing that can be done about the beautiful gloss finish.
A small note about this TV being an edge lit LED TV: when the screen turns all black, the upper middle portion of the TV is not as dark as the rest of the TV. This is not a problem during actual game play.
All in all, this 55WX800U TV is huge, slim, has almost blur free images (still cannot compare to a plasma, obviously) and has great invisible speakers. The ambient light sensor is great, no excessive eye strain! Even if you don't use the 3D features, the picture clarity and the price are unbeatable (in my totally "unbiased" opinion).
In my opinion, I think that Toshiba WX800U series LED 3D TV is appropriate for play 3D games very much whether 46WX800U or 55WX800U. But remember that when playing 3D games or watching 3D contents to find 3D glasses that combine your TV, if you are not sure, try to find information in this blog. ( Active 3D glasses for Toshiba WX800U )
If you try to play 3D games with other new 3D TV that please share common opinion as well to be good for gamers.
The Toshiba WX800U is the first 3D TV from Toshiba
Wednesday, December 28, 2011
This is the first quasi-real 3D TV from Toshiba, which we have heard that it is expensive as mainframe-equivalent-in-a-flat-panel Cell TV. Today, the company Toshiba says this is the first 3D model to be beginning implemented in U.S. It may be even more expensive now.
When the WX800 arrives in late September Toshiba will be the sixth TV maker, after Samsung, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Sony and LG, to allow its 2010 TV viewers the ability to see into the third dimension.
Like those makers Toshiba will require you to buy a pair of its glasses (model FTP-AG01U, $169 list) for each viewer who wants to see the 3D effect--nope, this isn't the company's rumored glasses-free 3D TV.
The WX800 comes in two sizes: the 46-inch 46WX800 ($2,599 list) and the 55-inch 55WX800 ($3,299). Both LCDs sport an edge-lit LED backlight, not our favorite kind, that lacks the dimming found on some competitors. They're superthin at 1.2 inches deep, however, and have a look as sleek as we expect from a modern high-end TV.
Toshiba does attempt to differentiate itself from the pack by including its "3D Resolution+" processing, said to improve 3D picture quality by reducing crosstalk, a common artifact we've seen on other 3D models, in particular LCDs (although our past experiences with 2D Resolution+ have not been life-changing). Unlike the Cell TV, as well as select models from Samsung, Sony, Panasonic and LG, the WX800 does not have 2D-to-3D conversion.
Along with the non-3D VX700 models announced at the same time, they're also Toshiba's first with the Yahoo Widgets platform (in a separate announcement, Yahoo touted content including Pandora, eBay, games, Twitter, and Facebook). Widget-agnostic, they also offer the Vudu Apps platform, and include streaming services from Vudu movies, Blockbuster, Showtime, and Netflix, among others. We also appreciate that both series include built-in wi-fi, as opposed to making you purchase a separate USB dongle. On paper these new Toshibas stack up very well against other Internet-connected TVs, whether or not you want that.
Toshiba's reps say we'll receive a 55WX800 review sample in the next few weeks. In the meantime, vitals are included below.

You will love this Toshiba 55WX800U 3D Television
Tuesday, December 27, 2011
The price is ridiculous. $1,600 with no tax, free shipping, and two pairs of 3d glasses? EXCELLENT! Toshiba makes great products and this 55" beauty is no exception. For the price, I think you will be hard pressed to find a better picture in a 55" size and sporting the latest 240hz LED technology. The television itself is attractive, light weight, and super thin. It weights about half my previous television which is really nice. The inputs are nicely laid out in the back and very easily accessible. My Vizio had them under a lip and in the lower middle of the set making them very difficult to find without pulling the whole TV out which was always a chore.
The picture is HIGHLY customizable. **NOTE** the instruction manual outlines in nice detail the explaination of features, DO NOT WATCH BLU-RAY MOVIES WITH THE 240 CLEAR MOTION FEATURE ON!! It will make the movie appear jumpy and jittery. Watching it with the standard 60 frames per second gives that nice "normal and human" smoothness you are used to. The 240 Clear Motion feature is SO nice with sports, especially if you are a hockey fan like myself. Any fast paced sports program will really reap the benefits of this feature. NASCAR, Basketball, Hockey, Football all look fabulous with this feature on. The LED has the bad reputation for having even lighting issues, or bright spots in the corners. Toshiba utilizes a technology that pans the light and it looks even and the contrast ratio is really nice to boot. Blacks are black and whites are white. Great color balance and options to adjust the power of the LED backlight.
My previous television also doubled as a heater. It would get the room VERY warm in the Summer which was one of the downsides (in addition to the screen burn-in that Plasma is prone to) but this tv is quite, cool, and takes very little power in comparison. Energy Star rated for those concerned with power consumption (as you should ;-)
The apps? Well, I haven't toyed around with them too much. Setting up the Wi-Fi was fast and simple, but I fear that the apps can act a bit "clunky" at times **(This is no longer an issue because I discoved that the wi-fi was VERY weak in the room where I have this tv, so I can't honestly say if the apps are slow or not.) It doesn't flow very quickly. What I mean is there is a bit of lag between the commands on the remote and the changing on screen. Is this enough to ruin the experience? Absolutely not, but something some should be prepared for if they plan on using the app features more than I do. All in all, this television in my humble opinion is well worth the money. Even my wife (who can't tell the difference between VHS and Blu-ray) commented on how beautiful and noticable the picture quality was. Very pleased with this purchase, and I think you will be too. I hope this honest, non-biased review is helpful in your decision to buy or not.
I have now had the TV for about a year and I still feel strongly that for the money, it is a tremendous value. The price has gone up dramatically since I bought it (because I believe that it is no longer being sold by Amazon,) however, if the price does come back down I would still highly recommend a good look. I haven't seen too many better deals anywhere else for what you get for the money. While I don't use the 3D feature nearly as much as I thought I would, I can say that I am very excited to see the Lion King and Beauty and the Beast (and other Disney classics soon to come) in 3D.
Normally, I do not have time to write a review for the product that I purchased. Unless I am sure to try it. I want to say this 3D TV, It should be review. Was I had to take it to replace my old TV, it is a Visio 50 inch 1080p plasma HDTV that I have purchased three years ago and it works very well. And now I have to use it, and I want to use TV with more features and quality than ever before. I found this on TV.
The price is ridiculous. $1,600 with no tax, free shipping, and two pairs of 3d glasses? EXCELLENT! Toshiba makes great products and this 55" beauty is no exception. For the price, I think you will be hard pressed to find a better picture in a 55" size and sporting the latest 240hz LED technology. The television itself is attractive, light weight, and super thin. It weights about half my previous television which is really nice. The inputs are nicely laid out in the back and very easily accessible. My Vizio had them under a lip and in the lower middle of the set making them very difficult to find without pulling the whole TV out which was always a chore.
The picture is HIGHLY customizable. **NOTE** the instruction manual outlines in nice detail the explaination of features, DO NOT WATCH BLU-RAY MOVIES WITH THE 240 CLEAR MOTION FEATURE ON!! It will make the movie appear jumpy and jittery. Watching it with the standard 60 frames per second gives that nice "normal and human" smoothness you are used to. The 240 Clear Motion feature is SO nice with sports, especially if you are a hockey fan like myself. Any fast paced sports program will really reap the benefits of this feature. NASCAR, Basketball, Hockey, Football all look fabulous with this feature on. The LED has the bad reputation for having even lighting issues, or bright spots in the corners. Toshiba utilizes a technology that pans the light and it looks even and the contrast ratio is really nice to boot. Blacks are black and whites are white. Great color balance and options to adjust the power of the LED backlight.
My previous television also doubled as a heater. It would get the room VERY warm in the Summer which was one of the downsides (in addition to the screen burn-in that Plasma is prone to) but this tv is quite, cool, and takes very little power in comparison. Energy Star rated for those concerned with power consumption (as you should ;-)
The apps? Well, I haven't toyed around with them too much. Setting up the Wi-Fi was fast and simple, but I fear that the apps can act a bit "clunky" at times **(This is no longer an issue because I discoved that the wi-fi was VERY weak in the room where I have this tv, so I can't honestly say if the apps are slow or not.) It doesn't flow very quickly. What I mean is there is a bit of lag between the commands on the remote and the changing on screen. Is this enough to ruin the experience? Absolutely not, but something some should be prepared for if they plan on using the app features more than I do. All in all, this television in my humble opinion is well worth the money. Even my wife (who can't tell the difference between VHS and Blu-ray) commented on how beautiful and noticable the picture quality was. Very pleased with this purchase, and I think you will be too. I hope this honest, non-biased review is helpful in your decision to buy or not.
I have now had the TV for about a year and I still feel strongly that for the money, it is a tremendous value. The price has gone up dramatically since I bought it (because I believe that it is no longer being sold by Amazon,) however, if the price does come back down I would still highly recommend a good look. I haven't seen too many better deals anywhere else for what you get for the money. While I don't use the 3D feature nearly as much as I thought I would, I can say that I am very excited to see the Lion King and Beauty and the Beast (and other Disney classics soon to come) in 3D.
Toshiba 55WX800U 3D TV Amazing Picture!
Just upgraded from Hitachi Plasma 720p 42 inch. When I first got the Hitachi I did not think a picture could ever get better. Was in the market for an upgrade and spent a day looking at all the 50"+ LED TVs.
Where the TV is set in the store makes all the difference in the picture quality and they have the mode set to brightest, sharpest, etc..., which you would not have in your home. Spent the evening researching LED TV technology and came to the conclusion that they all will be similar in the similar price range. Toshiba had the deal for 2 pair of 3D glasses and BD 3D player with purchase of TV which knocked out the Sony and the Samsung I was considering. 3D glases are specific for each model and will run you about $150 and 3D BD will run you about $250...so that was a $550 saving right there.
Hook up was a piece of cake to Sat box and then watched PBS Evening news. If the program is not in HD, the the large picture makes the video TOO big and somewhat blurry, so you have to scale the picture back (easy to do with button control on the remote). Started up a recorded HD movie on my DVR, Star Trek First Contact...and wow, the detail, colors the black level were amazing and as good as any of the Sony and samsung similar TVs I saw in the show room. The Toshiba was a new model and relegated to the show room wall with about 30 other TVs and did not show as well. I can now tell you that it is GREAT.
Do not expect great sound from any LED TV since the speakers have to be small. But the sound is adequate for watching news and normal shows, but somewhat tinny. Probably can adjust with the menu equalizer, but its a don't care for normal TV viewing. Put in USB stick with pictures and it recognized it immediately and opened up to view photos...fantastic resoultion and photo reproduction with 8Mp camera...and fast.
Toshiba 55WX800U Amazing 3D HDTV Set
I researched these types of sets for months for the family. surprisingly there were hardly any reviews on the 55wx800u - none on cnet or other major review sites. since my family loves toshiba products (3 generations of toshiba buying family members) we decided to take the plunge on this tv. reasonably priced with a whole host of settings to customize your tv's picture, if you like to tweak. if not, you can choose from some nice presets.
Overall, the color is vibrant, the set is very attractive - elegant, professional but not overly done like some other sets. prior to this tv, we had the panasonic s2 42" plasma tv (which replaced a 53" toshiba projection television)in the family room,as i wanted to try a plasma set and toshiba doesn't make plasmas. happy with the panay, we were torn to either get the panasonic 54vt 3dtv or this set. pricing was similar - but internet was not built into the panay. the plasma consumes much more power than this set. also, the 3d glasses that come with the toshiba are much more comfortable than the ones that came with the panay.
So without reviews and based solely on my family's experience with toshiba, we bought this tv. we are extremely happy and i believe all the talk about blooming, clouding, flashlighting that comes with an edge lit set like this one is either overdone or toshiba has done an excellent job overcoming these issues. some quick things to note, connection to the wireless internet went smoothly and the widgets are very cool. there is a system update that takes about 5 mins - so make sure you update your system. also, when attaching the standing to the tv, it states slide and lock...it's a bit confusing and customer service wasn't very helpful - just slide flat so that the two tabs on the stand slide into the two openings on the back of the tv - so you don't have to press down to lock in something the toshiba customer service (who apparently never put one of these things together) suggested. anyway, i wanted to put a real review up here since this is so lacking. if you have questions, ask. also, i will update in a couple months as to reliability. oh, lastly, don't buy from JR.com - their policy states that they have to open the package and add some "protective materials"- well - that set arrived broken. i refused the package and reordered through amazon.com and they sent the package "factory sealed" and it was fine.
Toshiba WX800U Outstanding 3D LED HDTV
Monday, December 26, 2011
Too good to pass up since I was going to spend close to that on a regular LED/LCD TV anyway. There were a few sales on Samsungs and Panasonics, but I chose Toshiba. The TV being replaced was a 3.5 year old 50" HD Toshiba DLP. That was a great product, so I decided to exercise a little brand loyalty. Additionally, because Toshiba was one of the last "big" manufacturers to release their 3D TV, I figured they would probably have the best picture since they had more time to perfect their technology. That may be incorrect logic, but it worked for me. There were almost no reviews when I bought the TV, so I kept my fingers crossed.
SHIPPING: I waited like a little kid for this thing to get to me - even though I got it in 5 days, it seemed like forever! The box had a huge hole in it (looked like it had been kicked) and the back of the TV had a small dent. I signed for it with the acknowledgement that it was dented so if it didn't work, I could send it back. These things are shipped via freight, and freight is known to be rough on packages. The dent didn't bother me (provided it worked), so I took it home.
SETUP: Got home, took it out of the box. This thing is skinny! It is also surprisingly heavy (not overly cumbersome, but it is heavier than it looks). The base attaches like it should - pretty self explanatory. Got it hooked up and turned on. The TV walked me through the setup as it should. The picture was great - I don't have cable (I know, I know), but the OTA stations looked wonderful. It was a very clean look. The response time changing channels was very quick (it was somewhat slower on the DLP TV). The options Toshiba has to change the picture are limitless - I am still tinkering with the picture (although the way it is set up out of the box is great).
3D SETUP: I bought A Christmas Carol, Open Season, and Monsters Vs. Aliens (off eBay) in 3D. Setup is identical to a regular DVD player, except I believe you need to have a 1.4 HDMI cable (not a standard HDMI) to transmit the 3D image. I wish they mentioned this up front, but luckily I did some research before the TV arrived and ordered an Amazon cable for $7. Not a big deal, but I would have been pretty irritated if I would have had to make a trip to BestBuy to buy a $50 cable. For the glasses, you just pull the clear battery saver tab (you'll see it if you don't know what I'm talking about) and you're good to go. You can tell when the glasses are on because the light allowed through the glasses changes. I believe I had to change the TV to auto-detect 3D, but a message pops up and tells you what to do once it sees a 3D disc, so that's all there is to it.
STANDARD/BLURAY PICTURE: Fantastic. There's not much more to it. It is a great picture with incredible detail. I thought the old HD DLP Toshiba had a great picture, but I don't know if I'll be able to watch it again because of the improvement this TV is over that one. Bluray really did blow me away on this TV. There are countless adjustments you can make to the picture, which is nice (doubt I'll use them, but it's more of a comfort thing).
3D PICTURE: Didn't know what to expect. After I ordered the 46", I began reading that you needed a bigger screen to appreciate 3D and got worried. Luckily, this wasn't true! The picture is much more "crisp" than in the theaters. When I first put on "A Christmas Carol," all I could do was smile. I had read a lot of blurbs here and there regarding the issues people were having with 3D TVs making "ghost" and "double" images. It actually did happen during one scene of "A Christmas Carol," but I'm not really sure why (it was actually just a character's nose had a ghost image during one scene), and it didn't happen at any other part or with the other movies. I did figure out that the 3D picture is BEST when the TV is on the brightest setting. I'm sure someone can explain why, but I can't. This was especially true during "A Christmas Carol," which is a fairly "shadowy" movie to begin with.
SUMMARY: Spend the money on the 3D Toshiba if you're in the market for a new TV. The current Amazon deal includes everything you need for 3D (except for the 1.4 HDMI cable), and the picture is amazing. I think it will be a long time before the a 3D TV drops much lower than this (at least a good quality one). There is not much in the way of media in 3D at the moment, but there will be. I am glad I made this investment, and would do it again.
SELECTING: I was in the market for a new TV, but I had no intention of getting a 3D TV until I saw the sale Amazon had that included the Bluray player and glasses for $1299.
