Key Features:
1080p Resolution
Delivering more than just high-definition, the 1080p full HD output on this TV represents the finest HD picture quality available today. Skin tones, textures and landscapes suddenly seem like real life. Shadows are deeper and richer. Colors pop. Highlights come alive with amazing character. The secret is more pixels. In fact, on a 1920 x 1080 resolution screen, 1080p full HD content displays over 2,000,000 pixels—a standard 720p HD display less than half that.
LCD Panel
Driven by CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlight technology, this TV displays images by illuminating and blending millions of liquid crystal to form the excellent images you'll see in movies, games and photos.
ClearFrame 120Hz
doubles standard frame rates to create a 120Hz effect that reduces any blurring caused by high-speed video. Using advanced computer processing, it improves picture clarity without impacting brightness or adding flicker. Fast-action movies or sports have never looked better.
DynaLight
Adding intensity to blacks and selectively reducing the intensity of highlight areas, DynaLightgives the TV picture a more balanced, true-to-life appearance. It utilizes advanced histogram technology to monitor the brightness of each video frame and automatically adjust backlight intensity based on what's being shown. This allows for numerous levels of control, and can create dynamic contrast many times what you'd normally get. The result is a powerful picture with deep blacks for increased detail and incredible depth.
CineSpeed LCD Panel
This special LCD screen delivers superior high-speed video. Plus, its wide viewing angle ensures you'll experience better viewing from a variety of seating areas.
Native Mode
Many TV broadcasts, movies and other content are produced in standard def 480i and 480p or high-def 720p. Depending on the show or your preferences, there are times when you may not want your Toshiba 1080p or 720p TV to automatically upconvert those signals. Native Mode lets you easily take control. On our 1080p HDTVs, Native Mode eliminates unnecessary scaling of full HD signals that can reduce overall image resolution--and quality. Activated on either our 720p or 1080p TVs, it also displays the image edges many sets lose to normal over-scanning.
Gaming Mode
Lets you enjoy hair-trigger action on your Toshiba TV with a special setting that reduces game controller delay.
HDMI with CEC
Technology that enables you to easily connect to high-definition video and immersive surround sound in one cable, and control like-equipped home theater components with one remote control.
USB with Music and Photo
Easily connect to your favorite music and photos via USB.
High-Res PC Input
Enables you to enjoy high-definition images when you connect a PC to your Toshiba TV.
VESA Mounting Pattern
A pattern of video industry standardized holes used for mounting to stands or wall, which allows for use of universal mounts when mounting your TV.

Customer Reviews
A few months ago, I decided to upgrade from my current 32 inch Toshiba Regza to a slightly bigger TV. After aiming for a 40+ inch, I discovered this TV on Amazon for $600 and decided that this would be a great upgrade. A couple days later, and I received the TV and I have had a chance to test it out. Does it hold up?
PROS:
-The image quality is excellent and quite beautiful for 46 inches. Just make sure you are the proper distance away (About 8 feet).
-Sound is excellent. It is clear and the TV can be quite loud if you want it to be.
-HDMI cables are easier to plug in then my previous Regza. In the past, I had to plug them under the device at a downward angle, which was awkward and frustrating. This set allows you to plug it straight in.
-120 Hz mode is great for animated videos and if you like your shows or movies to run at a faster frame rate. It isn't so hot for games, but there is a game mode option that turns off 120 Hz mode and lowers it to 60 Hz if needed.
-The TV itself feels well built and has a nice black gloss look to it, while the back has a nice metal finish with quality looking ports.
-There is a USB slot on the side for viewing saved videos and pictures on the TV. Great for home movies or if you have some videos from the net that you want to watch.
-Somewhat of a small update, but I bought a Blu-Ray player and several Blu-Ray movies and tested them out via HDMI. It ran beautifully and had no major problems, so if you are in the market for HD movies and want to mainly use a Blu-Ray player to watch things, then this is a very decent TV.
CONS:
-You cannot sit too close to the TV without getting eye strain. It is generally recommended that you are at least 8 feet away from the TV to get the best viewing experience. I had to move my furniture around in my room. I tried it from 5 feet away, and games look pixilated from that close to the TV. This isn't too much of a problem if you put it in a living room or larger room, but it might be too big for a small bedroom or apartment.
-There are very few options with adjusting the TV. You can turn off the 120 Hz mode if needed, but the menus are a little confusing (They are set up like my old Regza) which is kind of disappointing.
-Not wi-fi capable, meaning no Netflix out of the box. You will need to get a blu-ray player, Roku, or video game console capable of using it.
-I am not a big fan of the stand that comes with it. It has a similar glossy finish to the rest and is in a football shape, but attracts dust like crazy. It also isn't the easiest thing to install and even with the screws it still jiggles around a bit too much.
-Even though there are 3 HDMI ports, one of them is on the side and does not look all that great if you have more then 3 devices. I really wish it came with 3 back ports and 1 side port and not the 2 back ports it comes with.
-I am not sure if I am just doing this wrong, but the game mode setting "resets" to off every time I turn it to another input. This might be able to be turned off, but is kind of important if you do not want 120 Hz mode for games.
OTHER:
-I tested my PS3, 360, HD Netflix, and several upscaled DVD on the TV. Like I stated above: my PS3 and 360 were great as long as you were roughly 8 feet away. HD Netflix worked just fine, but it depends on the show and when it was made. Animated shows tend to look better, while older shows might look a bit "meh", especially if they were filmed back before 2000. DVD, sadly, do not hold up nearly as well as they used to on my 32 inch. They are still quite watchable from 8 feet away, but you can defiantly tell the graininess now. To be fair, it depends on what movie and when it was made: more recent DVDs tend to look and play much better while older ones tend to look fairly grainy.
-This obviously does not have 3D capabilities, but at the moment it is not too much of a con to really count it as one.
-The TV is pretty big and heavy. It weighs about 50 pounds and is quite wide, so you might need some help if you cannot lift easily or have a smaller frame.
-If you want to turn off 120Hz mode, go to Menu Picture Settings Advanced Picture Settings ClearFrame and turn it Off.
What is boils down to is this is just as it advertises: A 46 Inch HDTV. It is not a super TV that has internet and various other bells in whistles, but a TV for people who want a decent quality TV for a excellent price. This is a steal for the $600 I paid for it and I have no regrets whatsoever.
The TV was to replace a 46" Toshiba DLP television.
I recently purchased the G310U and actually really enjoy it. So far, I think it's a great tv and has a good bit of potential. At the $599 price point, I think it's almost impossible to pass over when looking at other televisions.
Things I've noticed:
The stand is a little on the cheap side. It has two tabs that sit in the base of the tv and is secured with 4 screws. Even with the screws, it still feels slightly unstable. I do feel that it is secure, but I would feel better if it were a little tighter fit.
The tv will automatically adjust the picture size based on the incoming signal (native, stretched, 4:3, etc.) which is a very nice feature.
This tv is currently connected to a TERK HD antenna with a signal booster and out of the box, scanned and found 16 channels. I know that the channels depend on the closeness to the stations, weather, etc, but the time this took to scan, label, and setup was rather impressive.
The initial setup itself was rather simple, straightfoward, and easy to go with.
The inputs on the back are definitely further to the edge of the tv than they could be. Running the wires and attempting to hide them behind the small neck support was tough. With a simple 3' HDMI cable, one of mine felt a bit stretched and needed to be switched around. I can still see it from the front of the tv, but it's a minor inconvenience. I do think the inputs could be closer to the middle of the tv.
Being able to switch and dial back between 120Hz and 60Hz is a very helpful feature. It appears that the tv tries too hard at times to adjust the refresh rate, but having the feature is nice.
Overall, a good tv.
