Toshiba 65UL610U

[Meg1st]

Hi Ray
I was watching mine last night for the last time before repacking it(there comming today to deliver my new one and take this one back,ironically i had kept the box),and i was really trying to figure if i was not making a bad move returning it since the issues i had were not bad to the extreme,And the more i was watching it,the more i was seeing all the deffects. I guess i'm just to picky and a perfectionist but since i have 3 other screens (Panasonic 61 in.projection TV with Lifi lamp witch i love,one regular LG LCD 32in and a 50in LG plasma THX certified)in my house that have no visible flaws,then i think that after reading so much and actually seeing for myself in stores,that changing for a VT30, witch was my first idea,should finnaly satisfy my quest for near perfection.
To bad mine had all these flaws because with all the spects announced on this model,this Toshiba should have beat everything else on the market.It really is that close to be perfect.I really hope you get a good one.
If so you will be amazed at the picture.
The 3 main things that mine has are: 1-Strong clouding effect(mura)during dark scenes right in the middle of the screen(really really annoying),2-Curtain like effect in the background when picture is moving from side to side in overall pale scenes (ex.:Hockey)i noticed dark vertical lines like if the scaning was not working good and finally, the foot stand is terribly weak(The TV tends to lean foward)
Anyway,Keep in touch when you start playing with your new toy !
I'm anxcious to know your feedback.

if its not the new 4k, who sells this tv and where can you go check it out

no this is not the 4k TV. There is no official plans for US release. I believe a 4k model is already in production, but in Japan only.

I know exactly what issues you are referring to. Thanks for pointing them out. I am very picky too, so I will inspect every inch of this TV. Also I am planning to run a "zone count" on this panel. I will report back once it is here. This is the TV I sent back in attached pic:

I paid mine $2500 can. normal retail is 3500 that's why i jumped on it at first.
I am told now that this model is discontinued.

I'm more then happy now

Is that the new vt30?

[Meg1st]

Indeed it is
Mega difference fron the Toshiba.Just the way it's built ! much much stronger cabinet.
I just love it

Wow, very nice fit, looks awesome. How do you keep your xbox from bouncing off the sub??

[rx74ray]

That's one lucky cat there. lol
nice TV and nice setup. Me too have kinetc.
whats your center channel? I need to down size mine for the new TV. there is just not enough room.
still waiting for my TV ...

Hey guys
So rx74ray Did you get your replacement yet ? Seems like a while
Thanks for the compliment on my set-up and my cat (she love to watch tv with me)
My center chanel is part of a 7.1 kit made by Sinclair Audio/Precision Acoustic see www.sinclairaudio.com a local speaker maker
Not bad at all for the price.
The XBOX does not bounce of the sub it's heavy enough but once in a while a joystick falls off !
By the way,does anyone has a good reference for the best setting on the VT30 ?
