Toshiba 42ZV555D

80% of the reviews on Amazon.co.uk give this product a positive rating.

Enjoyable black tones ; good with motion (eventually)

TV tuners don’t convince ; so-so 1080p pictures ; unpleasant sound

Toshiba seems to have been left behind somewhat by the latest crop of new flatscreens

Excellent HD performance ; Resolution+ doesn't disappoint

Unexceptional sound, conventional design ; Res+ won't work over HDMI

Some clever tech and fantastic HD pictures makes this a TV well worth your consideration

Tolles TV-Bild ; Tolles Bild von DVD und Blu-ray-Disc ; Niedriger Stromverbrauch ; Günstiger Preis

Ton etwas dünn

Nachdem Toshiba den PAL-Bild-Verbesserer Resolution+ in seinen DVD-Playern etabliert hat, kriegen jetzt auch die Fernseher diese Bild-Engine spendiert. Damit wirkt das ohnehin schon gute Fernsehbild noch schärfer und detailreicher.

Ein Plus für Resolution+. High-Definition zaubert die Schaltung zwar nicht, peppt Standardkost aber sichtbar auf. Eine Kaufempfehlung ist der 42ZV555D vor allem wegen seinem herausragenden Verhältnis von Preis und Leistung – und den insgesamt sehr...
