Toshiba 55WX800U Review

By

Product Review: Toshiba 55WX800U 55-Inch 1080p 240 Hz Cinema Series 3D LED TV

Our Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)

Who should buy this 3D TV? Anyone who wants a great quality 3D LED HDTV at a reasonable price.

Full HD 3D imagery brings you striking images thanks to the 1080p full HD CineSpeed Display with a backlit LED. To bring even more life into your games, videos, movies and other content, Toshiba technologies such as PixelPure 5G offers you incredible sharpness coupled with purer, smoother and more natural images. If 55 inches of magnificent HD color is more than you think you need, Toshiba offers the same set in a 46 inch variety as the 46WX800 which also boasts a smaller price tag.

For the gamer in you, the Toshiba 55WX800U has a game mode built in to ensure fluid and seamless game play. It gives you a supercharged system by reducing the delay between the game controllers which allows the video signal to bypass select internal TV circuitry. This shortens the time it takes the signal to get to the screen, which in turn minimizes lag time when displaying your game images. What does this mean for you? It means that you get the motion resolution and the highly enhanced details that you need to be able to win your game.

Of course, no Toshiba 55WX800U review would be complete without mentioning the fact that this amazing set is Energy Star compliant and green engineered. So you can rest assured that you are helping the environment and saving money by using less energy.

Pros

  • AutoView takes care of making the necessary adjustments to the brightness of your TV based on the level of ambient and/or natural lighting for you
  • Toshiba’s built-in media player allows you to attach a USB device or SD Memory Card and view photos, movies or music stored on them
  • Built-in Wi-Fi gives you the freedom to access your home network without needing a wired connection
  • Stunning 3D and 2D image quality and motion
  • Ultra-slim profile (one of the thinnest 3D TVs on the market)

Cons

Conclusion

If you want an amazing TV, the Toshiba 55WX800U is a great fit. With its built-in speakers, you’ll be rewarded with stunning sound thanks to the advanced audio technologies, including Audyssey EQ to equalize sound for the entire room, Dolby Volume to maintain the volume as you encounter those larger than life commercials or change between channels.

It also includes Dolby Digital Plus which delivers full audio potential from Blu-ray discs and streamed media as well as downloaded content. And speaking of streaming media, don’t forget that you’ll also have access to the media widgets to stream all of your media from your favorite internet locations such as Pandora, YouTube, Netflix and more!
