Toshiba 55G310U

The Toshiba 55G310U is the largest LCD in the Toshiba G310 stable of Flat Panel HDTVs. It provides a solid picture adjusted for black levels with on board DynaLight settings. Its ClearFrame technology doubles the refresh rate to 120Hz to provide smooth viewing of fast action in video games or sports broadcasts. Nice sound performance from its twin 7 watt speakers brings out the sound effects from your movies and video games. If you are a game enthusiast, you’ll be excited to note the two viewing modes: Native Mode and Gaming Mode. Use the Native Mode for television to get as much of the picture on screen as possible and Gaming Mode to reduce controller signal delay. Toshiba added the Photo Frame capability for the digital photo enthusiast. This is great for showing off your digital photo slideshows.

As the largest member of Toshiba’s G310 LCD HD flat panel sets, the Toshiba 55G310U will make a great all-around home theater or gaming HDTV addition to your household.

Picture

Toshiba’s DynaLight full backlighting monitors the brightness level of each video frame to automatically adjust the backlight intensity according to the video image content. The integrated precise signal analysis adjusts for up to 256 levels of backlight intensity. The end result for your picture is a dynamic contrast that is nearly five times that of the original panel contrast. Now you can enjoy deeper black levels that increase detail and depth in low light environments. The CineSpeed LCD Panel with 10 bit video output has an eight millisecond and faster response speed to provide clean images during high action sequences. It means you’ll see every detail in all your HD video sources — an essential if you want Blu-ray movies and HD stations to look their best.

The Toshiba 55G310U comes equipped with a digital tuner. That allows you to enjoy free local broadcasts in high definition. You will need to connect an antenna for reception. That huge 54.6 inch (diagonal) screen running a 120Hz refresh rate produces a picture with minimal blurring.

This HDTV does not come equipped to connect to your home Internet connection. If you were counting on this then this may not be the TV for you. However, if you didn’t plan on connecting to the Web for entertainment purposes or for gaming, then you’ll find the 55G310U a great value for your dollar.

Sound

If you’ve been disappointed in the past with the on-board speakers other brands are equipped with then you’ll be impressed by the 55G310U’s. When you hear the high quality surround sound filling the room, you look at the specs again to make sure you read them correctly. The output of two 7-watt internal speakers that are “invisible” is most impressive. While the surround sound quality is excellent, there are no features to adjust for volume fluctuations during normal television viewing. There is a digital audio output connection provided for external sound systems.

Cabinet

The Toshiba 55G310U LCD HDTV is approximately four inches thick when mounted on a wall using the VESA standard 400mm wall mount. Using the included stand, the television set needs 17 inches of table top or stand space front to back. At 67 pounds with a 53 inch wide cabinet the 55G310U is light for its class, but the width and weight is a challenge for one person to mount. You’ll need to enlist some help lifting the TV to mount on a wall or elevated stand. The CineSpeed LCD Panel provides full 1080p High Definition viewing from just about any angle in the room so placement for optimum viewing is easy. The Toshiba 55G310U features Native Mode to adjust the entirety of the video picture to fill the set’s screen without losing the edges. The Gaming Mode feature is a special setting to reduce game controller input delay for instant trigger action.

Set-Up

Setting up the television is straight forward using the on screen menus and the included remote control. With separate input and PC mode buttons, the remote allows easy switching between video input devices attached to the 55G310U.

Connections

The Toshiba 55G310U has most of its component connections on the back left of the cabinet with two on the left side. Two HDMI inputs for connecting your HD capable components are located on the rear. You will also find the standard RF connector for local over-the-air HDTV stations or cable and satellite connections on the back. Standard composite video, component video and stereo inputs, and a PC monitor (VGA) connection are also located there. A digital audio output connection is provided for compatible external sound systems. On the side of the cabinet are an HDMI port and a USB port. You can use the USB input to connect a thumb drive loaded with your favorite music or photos. It is also easy to connect other portable devices like digital video and still cameras or a USB data drive to display pictures or play music on the big screen.
