    CNET Review

    May 19, 2009

    The Good: Relatively inexpensive for a TV with a 240Hz refresh rate effect; accurate color; can separate antiblurring and dejudder functions; extensive picture settings; solid connectivity with four HDMI and one PC input; eye-catching styling.

    The Bad: Produces light black levels; somewhat uneven screen uniformity; benefits of 240Hz effect difficult to discern; glossy screen reflects ambient light.

    The Bottom Line: Although subpar black levels keep it from besting the LCD champs, the Toshiba ZV650U series is still one of the better values among TVs with a 240Hz effect.

    Review Summary: The Toshiba Regza 55ZV650U produces an impressively detailed picture, but it's not ideal for watching in dimly lit rooms.
