There isn't much original feedback for me to add. Most of it's been said.
The picture is vivid, and is the most accurate out of the box I've ever seen. All I did was turn the 'color' and 'brightness' down a little (I've always preferred a slightly subdued picture).
I was initially concerned about inputs. My TVs are always plumbed into my stereo and home theater systems. I use my preamp as the audio hub and my TV as the video hub. None of my gear is new enough to have HDMI, but there were still sufficient connections on the TV.
Someone please tell me if I break a rule here about naming magazines...
There is a professional review in the Nov 09 Home Theater Mag (it's also online). It's one of their recommended TVs. A well known cosumer mag (that likes to sue if they're named and quoted) ranks Toshiba LCDs as some of the least trouble prone LCDs, and recommends the REGZAs.
If I have any quality troubles down the road, I'll update this. Right now, I am completely satisfied. Let me add that Amazon was on the ball too. Again. TV was here four days sooner than promised, and in excellent condition.

I also did a lot of research when looking for a new LED tv. You cannot find another tv that has the same features for this price. The closest was the Samsung unb6000. Samsung matched everything the toshiba had except the local dimming and 240 hz refresh rate. The thickness didnt matter to me becuase the Toshiba is only 4 inches deep, so you really could hang both sets. My only complaints about the 67OU is the screen can give off some glare and the color green is not as accurate as it should be. Oh btw - I paid $1000 less for the Toshiba!

Phenonimal television and at a terrific price compared to other LED's of the same size. Extremely easy to wire up to a surround sound system and even easier to operate with nothing but a stellar picture! Worth the wait and do not regret a single thing about the Toshiba LED 55 television.

I have had this Toshiba 55SV670U for about one week. My decesion to pick this set over the Samsung 7100, Samsung 950, Sony XBR8 and LGH90 did not come without a carefull examination of the picture quality on all the sets. (I eliminated plasmas as they appeared rather dim to me.)
My desire was high brightness, sharpness and high contrast ratios. The weight and thickness was not that important as I only planned on moving this set once or twice. I will be looking at the picture more often than looking at the side view.
This model Toshiba is now using a similiar front layer as Samsungs and it has improved the contrast ratio signifiantly. The blacks are much darker using this front material. I know it will reflect lights from behind me, but I'll block the window with a shade.... I would rather have that problem 10 % of the time than have the matte finish distort the picture 100 % of the time.
The only way to improve contrast ratio is to locally dim. All the above do locally dim except the Samsung 7100. I questioned how the Samsung 7100 could have a single backlight and be able to make selected areas blacker. I found this Samsung set to have a slight blue hue over the whole picture. However, the Samsung 7100 would have been my second choice.
The Sony XBR8 and the Samsung 950 had the best pictures - just too expensive for the RGB backlighting and Just not worth
$ 1500 to $ 2000 more to me.
The Toshiba 55SV670U gave me the local dimming, an anti-reflective coated contrast window, 120 HZ scan rate and a bright long lasting LED display. I am completelty satisfied with this set.... and with and with its much lower selling price.
Drop in Mr and Mrs Smith in Blu Ray and you will ever regret purchasing this Toshiba

We bought a Toshiba REGZA about 18 months ago and were very satisfied. However, it just developed a major screen problem (1 inch by 3/8 inch dead spot), only a few months past the 12 month warranty. We contacted Toshiba, who was "unable to assist us with the cost of the repair." It is out of warranty so they are within their rights, but it was a major cost to our limited budget and I would be reluctant to recommend it to others.
