Toshiba is just one of several TV manufacturers dedicated to pleasing all types of consumers. Things are more competitive in the entry-level and mid-range markets, as more people are now willing to watch high-definition content. But people who want to buy much bigger screens should make sure they have some rich features so they don’t have to upgrade to a newer, more expensive big screen in the long run. The 55-inch Toshiba 55WX800U is an excellent choice, packing a lot of power into its large frame.

Product characteristics

The Toshiba 55WX800U has a 7,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio that outperforms almost any plasma or LCD display. Displays like these never have any significant issues with regard to deep blacks, so all types of content generally look better. Although plasma displays come pretty close, LED displays like the 55WX800U benefit from having a slimmer profile along with greater energy-saving capabilities. These improvements are enough for the 55WX800U to meet Energy Star requirements.

Large HDTVs work best with large home theater systems, and with 4 HDMI ports to spare, you’re free to customize which components connect to your screen. HTPCs, game consoles and media players can be quickly connected using HDMI ports and you have the older component and composite ports available in case you have older equipment.

Featured Technologies

LED backlighting features are enhanced with CineSpeed ​​​​​​Display that enhances the detail of 1080p images. The results are most noticeable when you play 3D content. Putting on Toshiba Active 3D glasses gives you that three-dimensional wonder that brings the latest Blu-ray 3D titles to life.

A host of other tech upgrades include PixelPure 5G, where some sharpening enhancements are added to the overall picture. Images stay sharp even in fast motion thanks to ClearFrame 240Hz technology. Watching some live sports shows or playing high-speed first-person shooters is a joy without annoying blur. If you’re more into video games, you can further enhance your experience by turning on the “Gaming Mode” feature. To further optimize your viewing experience, you are treated to an automatic brightness control called Toshiba AutoView where the brightness settings are automatically adjusted to the most optimal setting. In some situations, the brightness level is lower, which means better energy savings.

Unlike several displays in this category, the 55WX800U is well rounded with audio technologies where Audyssey EQ and Dolby Volume take center stage. Audyssey EQ is included in many AV receivers that allow for professional equalizer adjustments. The Dolby Volume feature balances the volume so you don’t hear certain loud bursts coming from different transitions.

Conclusion

In addition to 3D, LED and sound enhancements, you get full internet connectivity features where you can browse the web as soon as you’re connected to a router. Use the remote to navigate and enjoy streaming video from the web. You can also find some updates by using Yahoo! Television services widgets. In short, the 55WX800U offers an engaging experience for multimedia enthusiasts.
