Toshiba 46RV525R

Introduction
The Toshiba 46RV525R is a vanilla 46-inch LCD TV. It supports 1080p natively, and an impressive screen size, but it doesn’t have the features you’d commonly see on a higher-end HDTV. It does have a mode to help with 3:2 pulldown, which makes a difference, but doesn’t have any additional media or playback features. While it did put up some above average numbers on our color tests, overall the TV seemed a bit average. The TV also has an average price for a 46-inch TV, $1200. If the TV’s strengths and weaknesses match up to what you’re looking for, this TV could make a good buy.

Samsung UN32D5500 LED LCD HDTV Review
The D5500 has a rather high MSRP of $699, considering it’s only a 32-inch TV. There are some “premiums upgrades,” a term we use with some dubiousness, knowing that these features can be far less valuable than they appear. Nevertheless, at its core this is a good television. If you can find it a significantly reduced price it would make a great addition to a home theater. Read More...
