The Toshiba 55SV670U is pretty standard fare for LCD TVs. It features a solid black bezel that wraps around the screen. There is a hint of silver near the bottom of the screen, just below the Toshiba logo. The 55 inch screen is supported by a matching pedestal base. The base does not allow the TV to swivel.

Standout Features

• 240 Hz Refresh Rate
• LED Backlight
• 4 HDMI Inputs
• PC Input

The Toshiba 55SV670U features a faster refresh rate of 240 Hz. This allows the TV to maintain focus on objects that move across the screen quickly. This means that watching sporting events will be more enjoyable since you can actually see the ball in the air, rather than just a streak. Most TVs refresh at a rate of 60Hz which can produce motion blur.

The LED backlight included on the Toshiba 52XV648 enables the TV to produce whiter and crisper whites while at the same time maintaining detail in the darker scenes. This combined with local dimming which allows the TV to shut off certain LEDs for darker scenes results in a TV that is capable of producing much greater detail in dark scenes.

It’s good to see manufacturers listening to consumers now and including more HDMI inputs on their sets. The Toshiba 55SV670U features a total of 4 inputs, enough to connect all your digital devices and then some. Even though you might not have 4 HDMI devices now, there will be a time in the near future when you probably will.

The included PC input allows you to connect your VGA compatible computer with ease and use your TV as a computer monitor. Editing movies and photos just got a lot easier.

Expert Reviews:   Excellent

The experts liked the LED backlighting on the 55SV670U. This produced images that had brighter white levels while still maintaining detailed blacks. This was helped also with the inclusion of local dimming which enables the TV to shut off certain parts of the backlight for dark scenes.

User Reviews:   Excellent

Users were impressed by the TV. There are currently very few LED TVs with 240 Hz on the market now and the Toshiba seemed to have the best set of features. The picture quality is also superb, exceeding expectations in most cases.

Summary:  

The Toshiba 55SV670U has plenty of features with picture quality to match.
