Toshiba 24SL415 Review

24" LCD/LED TV WITH NET TV

Connectivity is the main attraction with this TV as Toshiba has foregone sleek looks and the most upgraded picture performance features in favor of complete Internet TV access.

Picture And Viewing Features

The 24SL415 contains a 720p, 60Hz panel. Lately, these have not been our favorite panels as viewing angles degrade and they tend to show a lot more motion artifacts than their 1080p brethren. However, at 32” in size this may not be too big a drawback.

Appearance

The 24SL415 has a black gloss bezel and does not worry much with being slim or sleek looking. It's a pretty basic TV design due to the smaller sizes of the series.

Internet Applications And Connectivity

There is full wireless capability included on the 24SL415 to enable the NET TV option – Toshiba's full Internet TV suite. Aside from the premium Internet TV Apps like Netflix, Amazon, Vudu, and Hulu – Toshiba's Internet TV option largely relies on a partnership with Yahoo! Widgets which are fast improving due to an open source solution which allows software developers to introduce different Apps constantly, much the same as most of the other manufacturers except through Yahoo!. This open source application is opening up many new creative and relevant applications that these streamlined Internet Apps for TVs needed.

Standout Features

For a small TV the SL425 series has lots of extra features with complete included wifi capability for accessing Toshiba's Internet TV suite called NET TV.

Toshiba 46SL412U Review

Description: 46" Full HD LED backlit LCD TV 1080p resolution
Includes: Tablet Top Stand, Component and composite breakout cables
Dimensions: 42.46" X 28.59 X 1
Reviewer: Jack Burden
Date: Summer 2011

Toshiba claims that the new Cinespeed processor is less than 6 milliseconds in response time and we believe it after seeing the processor of this TV in action. It gets rid of moire', patterns, and judder immediately with the Clearframe 120Hz turned on. The HD picture quality color rendition is very accurate and not over-saturated. There is a very good balance between light throughput and color saturation. 

The picture does not offer the depth that some of the best clear coat screens can offer. But side viewing angles were better than most LCD TVs. In fact, it was better on the SL412 than on the SL417. However, the picture has more motion artifacts and pixelating in the background. Dark shadow detail is pretty solid if you increase the Brightness setting on the TV to 4. Doing so will allow you to see some background light uniformity issues in the screen, but I didnt find it distracting. It was worth the tradeoff to see more detail in dark scenes. Otherwise, dark areas of the picture can become a black blob.

Features: The 120Hz enabled frame rate conversion on the SL412 works much more smoothly than most of the TVs we've reviewed with a similar feature. In the end though, it does eliminate some designed background blur from some programming so we recommend leaving it off unless watching sports programming. It works better with HD programming than standard definition shows. A simple switch to the Standard or Sports picture modes via the Quick button on the remote will reset the TVs picture. The TVs inbuilt processor is fast enough to eliminate most motion artifacts and motion lag without having to use the ClearFrame feature.

Video Aspect Ratio Sizing: The diminutive Pic Size key at the bottom of the remote controls the TVs aspect ratio options. The Full option will cover most of your needs.

Inputs: 4 HDMI, 1 Component, 1 Composite, PC 15 pin D-sub, Coaxial composite.

Appearance And Design: The SL412 is not as attractive a TV as the one-up model SL417. The black gloss bezel framing is a little thicker at 1.5" in width and the TV is 1.3" in depth. There is a silver 1" strip across the bottom of the TV. The back panel of the TV is plastic and there are two HDMI inputs in a cavity with all other inputs pointing straight out the back of the TV. The included table top stand does not swivel or rotate and the top of the stand is black gloss plastic.
