Introduction The 40XV645U is part of Toshiba's high-end Regza lineup of HDTVs. A 40-inch LCD, it sports an integrated USB port for viewing photos and 120Hz refresh rate, which should improve motion performance. Apart from that there aren't any particularly impressive features on board, which is consistent with a reasonable price of $899.     Page 1 of 18 Tour & Design   Section The Good The Bad Tour & Design Simple design Difficult to put together Blacks & Whites Excellent blacks and contrast ratio Not much Color Accuracy Not much Variable color temperature, poor RGB performance Motion Good handling of 3:2 pulldown for 24fps content Obvious motion blur and significant artifacting Viewing Effects A couple of useful video processing options Poor viewing angle and reflective display Remote Control Glow in the dark buttons Labels are not illuminated Connectivity Easy to access ports Stand doesn't swivel Audio & Menus Intuitive menu system Poor audio quality Formats & Media Full 1080p resolution No video or music playback from USB Power Consumption Low power consumption Not much   Other Models in the XV645U Series Toshiba Regza 52XV645U 52 inches Toshiba Regza 46XV645U 46 inches For more information see our Series Comparison Page   Compare the Toshiba Regza 40XV645U to other HDTVs Sony KDL-46Z5100 46 inches Samsung LN40B650 40 inches JVC LT-42P300 42 inches
