Toshiba 40UX600U 40-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV with Net TV (Black Gloss) Review
This is our first LCD TV. I was not playing a lot with it, but after hooking it up to our MacBook Pro 17" (via mini-display to HDMI adapter and HMDI cable) I was blown away with the quality of picture. Then we've watched the movie played from MacBook to this TV and the picture was very good, sharp and clear and rich in colors. What I also found out is that the view angle is pretty good. While my family was sitting on the sofa in front of TV, I was watching from the side and didn't find any differences in color.
There are a lot of different picture settings, so you can adjust all of them to your personal preferences. If you make them wrong, you can easily reset them to manufacture settings.
Also, I've tried to play games from MacBook on this large screen and wasted in the game for about 5 hours, because the picture quality was very good and screen refresh rate is not visible at all.
With that said, I just want to conclude that I am satisfied with our new LCD LED TV.

Toshiba's ClearFrame 120Hz system doubles the frame rate of an LCD TV from 60 frames per second to 120 frames per second using superior Motion Vector Frame Interpolation technology.
- Resolution+ super resolution technology upconverts and enhances 480i/p and 720p input signals for a more detailed picture.
- CrystalCoat prevents ambient room light reflections from washing out the television picture, creating up to 30 percent better contrast in bright rooms and allowing you to enjoy a deep, high contrast picture in all lighting conditions.
- AutoView helps ensure an ideal image at all times for the day by combining an ambient room light sensor with incoming video content monitoring. AutoView automatically sets most of the TV picture parameters for you.
- DynaLight Backlight Control utilizes advanced image processing to monitor the brightness of each video frame, and adjust the backlight intensity accordingly. This precision creates seamless transitions with deep blacks for increased detail and depth analysis.

The "Warm" setting delivers a redder image that is ideal for display in a dimly lit room, while "Medium" and "Cool" provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as room light levels are increased.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
 | With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
