Let's face it: However creepy and crazy it looked, Toshiba did make a lot of heads turn with it floating chair advert.
"Armchair viewing redesigned" is what they intended it for and does it actually do that? Now that's something to be given a lot of thought. The
Toshiba Regza 55SV685DB 55" LED TV makes your head go round for two reasons. Reason one: The cost. The TV costs almost £4,000 and mind you, that's far from the reach of many. Reason two: The way pictures glide in the 55" screen. Try watching a Blu-Ray movie by plugging in a player in one among the 4 HDMI ports. The experience has got to seen to be believed, I tell you. The LED backlights are responsible for most of the good work, for as it is known, LED backlights render the deepest of deep blacks. That too, the 'Local dimming' technology individually controls the backlights, due to which bright and dark areas are equally eye-catching.
The
Active Vision M200HD processing does quite a lot for the picture quality, and the whopping 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio looks good on paper, but it's doubtful it it's translated on to the screen. The TV supports DLNA networking, but the data transfer between the PC and the TV does not work like a dream.
Toshiba is still a long way from perfecting this process. The resolution + feature, something that Toshiba boasts will render standard definition at near high definition doesn't work that well either. Standard definition is still far from the perfection of HD.
Audio is surprisingly very good, the 55SV685DB sports a
Dolby® Digital Plus system, and the speakers do the job very well. Game mode that's present in most
LED TVs of today is present in the 55SV685DB as well. So, hardcore gamers will enjoy the perfect gaming environment they desire. The panel of this telly, being an Eco panel will supposedly consume lesser power than conventional LCD TVs. As far as the design is concerned, the 55SV685DB scores well, though not as good as the tellies of Philips. The Toshiba Regza 55SV685DB looks good, but is not the best. Performs well, but again, is not the best.
