Conclusion

The Toshiba 46XV648U yielded excellent performance scores in nearly every lab test, sending it to the front of the class. Home theater enthusiasts will also love the broad level of access that Toshiba allows to its finer PQ controls.

That said, the 46XV648U lacks in some of the flashier features that we've come to expect from higher-end TVs. There's no internet connectivity. The USB only supports photo playback, and it does that poorly. The design isn't ugly, per se, but it's hardly laudable. No, it seems this was a project straight from the Toshiba engineer's office, skipping the marketing department altogether.

We're going to give the Toshiba 46XV648U a recommendation based on its performance, but we understand that some people will pass on this in favor of a prettier Samsung or Sony.
