Remote Control
The Toshiba Regza 40XV645U's remote control has a curved light grey back and a matte black front that is studded with glow-in-the-dark buttons across its entire surface.

In The Box (6.5)
The Toshiba Regza 40XV645U ships with a manual in both english and french. There's also a remote with batteries included and a cleaning cloth, which is a nice extra you don't get with every HDTV. Getting the television set up out of the box is a bit of a chore, however. We had to assemble the stand first, which is an extra step we don't like to see. And lowering the display onto the stand is definitely a two person job.
Aesthetics (4.0)
The Toshiba Regza 40XV645U isn't a particularly attractive HDTV. It has the same glossy black bezel you see on most modern televisions, and it can't lay claim to being particularly thin either. Utilitarian is probably the best word for it.
