It’s Christmas Eve and you’re digging your teeth into a huge chunk of chocolate dripping cake while the kids are fussing about the LED lights around the Christmas tree. You’re probably thinking you’re the happiest man in the world, what with the kids’ laughter ringing in your years, your wife gently chiding them now and then and ‘Silent night’ floating in from the neighbour’s window. You walk to the door and return to the living room; loaf about the kitchen, joke about the neighbour’s dog to your wife who’s with her laptop. But again, it’s the door that you’re headed to every few minutes. You open it, shrug and go back in. An hour or so passes by. Wringing your hands, you look at your watch – it’s about time they arrived. Your son questions, “What’s wrong dad?” Just when you think you cannot take it any longer – you hear the truck pull over.
Here it is, your Christmas present for your family – The Toshiba Regza 40LV665DB 40″ LCD TV. It stands there beaming, but not as beaming as you. “Merry Christmas” you say and huddle together for a good old, warmer than ever family hug. Why did you opt for this LCD TV anyway? Why wouldn’t you, when you heard so many good things about it? The TV looks so good, with a grey-black smooth finish that’s far from plasticky. Though the same can’t be said of the stand, the overall effect is pretty good.
With its 1920×1080p resolution and 50000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, pictures in the 40″ screen appear sharp and seamless. Satisfied with the pictures and just the perfect brightness and contrast, you move towards the connectivity. The 4HDMIs, the USB port, PC input and the other usual ones are all in place, just as you expected them to be. Your son brings out his PlayStation and plugs it in one of the HDMIs, turns the Game Mode on, only to be awed at how clear and elaborate HD gaming is in the screens of the telly.
It’s your wife’s turn at the TV and she channel trots in the speed of lightning laughingly. She stops at Mamma Mia playing in a local channel and is amazed at how brilliantly the TV adjusts itself according to the room’s light. The change is evident, enhancing the viewing experience. Auto View is the reason behind it, you note. She steps up and begins to shake a leg, pulling your daughter along. “Honey Honey” they sing along while your son and you roll your eyes. But the twosome force you on your feet and after a few awkward steps, the four of you are dancing away on Christmas Eve in front of the Toshiba Regza 40LV665DB LCD TV with not a care in the world.
