Toshiba 52XV540U

Everyone wants to have the best home entertainment system so they don’t have to go out to the cinemas to enjoy intense movies or go to a gaming café for some hardcore gaming. One of the primary consumer products that symbolize a good home cinema system is the TV display and size matters. The only problem with the TV size is that people often can’t afford the huge price tag and usually settle for models under 50 inches, which loses, some appeal. Some other 52-inch models are affordable, but don’t have good specifications to make movie watching and gaming enjoyable. Toshiba provides an answer to that with the Toshiba REGZA 52XV540U 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV.

Overview

The Toshiba REGZA 52XV540U impresses with a good roundup of features including the REGZA technologies and manages to bundle it all up in an affordable package. Like other REGZA models, the 52XV540U has its full focus on delivering the best picture quality possible. This particular model is part of the XV series that replace the old X series of 2007. Unlike the budget inclined Toshiba 52RV535U which is part of the RV series, the 52XV540U sports a black gloss finish with smooth rounded corners. The slim profile is nice and should fit any home system setup.

Actual user review:
“I’ve been looking at buying a 52″ LCD for 6 months. I waited for the 52VX540 because the quality was there for the right price. This TV looked great out of the box and has dazzled my Sony owning neighbours who paid more than $1,000 more for their TVs.” – R.Rodriguez (TX,USA)

 

Key Features

What separates the Toshiba REGZA 52XV540U from the lesser 52XV545 is the inclusion of the ClearFrame 120Hz Anti-Blur Technology, which has twice as much the frame rate than the 60Hz models making motions a lot more fluid. This also eliminates motion blur without any need to decrease image brightness or add unnecessary flicker. It works with another technology known as Motion Vector Frame Interpolation, which inserts new frames between the original frames. The backlight intensity for each frame can also be adjusted automatically for seamless transitions with deep blacks with the DynaLight Backlight Control.

Because this is a REGZA model, a slew of neat features are built into the unit including the PixelPure 4G digital video processing which makes pictures clearer than ever. Combined with the previously mentioned, ClearFrame Technology pictures come out fine and smooth. The ColorBurst Technology also assists by expanding the number of available colors as well as improving color accuracy.

The Toshiba REGZA 52XV540U has plenty of connectivity options including 4 HDMI digital inputs and 2 ColorStream HD component video inputs. PC users may utilize the 15 pin or go for the S-Video found at the back. There is also an analog audio out and Dolby Digital Optical Output.

Regarding the audio specifications, the REGZA 52XV540U incorporates the new speaker technology known as the SoundStrip Speaker System which boasts greater dynamic range and solid home theater audio quality. It can also intelligently normalize audio between channels or segments through the StableSound feature.

Conclusion

The Toshiba REGZA 52XV540 is reasonably priced below $2,500, but can dip under $2,000 at Amazon making it a great buy for a 1080p 52″ HDTV. Movie fans and gamers alike will be impressed with the overall image performance and technologies welded into this solid device.
