Value Comparison
The Toshiba 46RV525R is a 2009 model, and the Toshiba 46XV648U is a newer, 2010 model. However, the year-over-year changes are not revolutionary. Some of the features and processing have changed, and we noted an improvement motion performance. The new model also has a deeper black levels. But chances are, you’ll be able to find last year’s model more cheaply. All other factors, for the most part, are equal.

Blacks & Whites
The newer Toshiba 46XV648U had a better black level and a slightly better peak brightness, which meant a wider contrast ratio overall.
Color Accuracy
The color performances of both Toshibas was fairly similar, and both scores were very good.

Motion
The motion performance of the newer 46XV648U appeared to do better than last year’s 46RV525R, due in large part to the revamped ClearFrame motion processing feature. Last year, the feature was called ClearScan 240, and seemed to have less of an impact on the appearance of objects in motion.

Viewing Effects
The viewing angle was about the same on both Toshibas, and neither was particularly good. If you need a wider viewing angle, you should probably check out plasma displays.

Connectivity
The Toshibas both have three HDMIs and a handful of legacy ports for older types of devices. The new Toshiba has a USB port, but it makes poor use of it.
