This model is the 55'' version of the 40'' TV that we tested in our labs, the Toshiba Regza WL753.
Everything we said in the original article holds true--the only thing that's different is the size!
The only exception is that some manufacturers fit different sized televisions with panels from different sources. In that case, our comments are only valid for the panel that we originally tested. Contrast, black levels, colour handling and ghosting are all subject to change from one panel to another.
Manufacturers who do fit the same panel in all of the TVs in a range can expect the same results across the whole range. The only factor which could be prone to slight variation is the brightness, producing slightly different contrast. According to our own tests, and assurances from manufacturers, the results of one TV can accurately be applied to others in the range.
Pluses
-
Good contrast: we measured 2000:1
-
Powerful Active Vision M200HD Pro system
-
Great HD picture
Minuses
-
Narrow viewing angles
-
Glossy screen subject to reflections
-
Disappointing multimedia player
-
Colours aren't accurate: deltaE of 4.4
-
Mediocre remote and poor quality audio
The WL753 range does pretty well, but it's not without its problems: colour reproduction could be more accurate, the remote could easily be improved and the audio leaves a lot to be desired. It's a shame, especially when you know that this is one of Toshiba's flagship products.
Pick your rival…
