Motion Smoothness (4.88)

The Toshiba 46SV670U struggled to produce smooth motion. In out testing, we found that when all the special features (i.e. Film Stabilization, ClearScan 240) turned off, images could appear choppy or produce trailing. However, we were even more surprised to find that when we turned the special features on, nothing changed. ClearScan 240 did nothing to help motion smoothness. Depending on the type of motion, the Film Stabilization feature could be helpful, but it creates some artifacts.

Motion Artifacting (4.25)

Even with all the special features (described above) turned off, we definitely saw some of the artifacts from the Toshiba's processing. When pushed to the limits of our testing, there were glaring instances of false color, and other strange effects. This is not a terrible TV. Watching films on it, we couldn't see any unforgivably bad artifacting, but it's not the best TV we've seen either.

3:2 Pulldown & 24fps (9.0)

The Toshiba 46SV670U has no problems with 3:2 pulldown and playing 24fps video back natively.
