3D Technology Checklist This product is 3D-related. To help you get a great 3D experience, use the checklist below to ensure you have everything you need. 3D viewing requires: A DisplayFirst, you'll need a 3D-ready display--whether it's a 3D HDTV, 3D projector, or 3D computer monitor. These displays have more processing power than standard 2D models for displaying 3D images in rapid succession. A SourceYour display may be ready for 3D playback, but you'll still need a device to read 3D content. This can be a cable box with a subscription to a 3D channel, a 3D Blu-ray Disc player, or a PlayStation 3 system. 3D Content3D content--the actual entertainment, in other words--will be played back using the source mentioned above, whether it's a 3D broadcast from your cable provider, a 3D Blu-ray Disc, or a 3D video game. 3D GlassesFor now, the vast majority of 3D HDTVs require glasses for 3D viewing. Many use powered "active shutter" glasses, others polarized "passive" glasses. You'll need one pair per viewer, and they'll have to be compatible with your display, whether they're the same brand, or a pair of "universal" glasses designed to work across brands. HDMI CableTo connect your source (such as a 3D Blu-ray Disc player) to your display, you'll need a high-speed HDMI cable. Cables with this designation feature bandwidth speeds up to 10.2 Gbps (gigabits per second), for carrying the 3D signal without any loss of quality. If you want to get more information about 3D, shop our 3D products, watch videos, or interact with other customers, we invite you to visit 3D 101, our customer center about everything 3D.

Finally, minimizing their televisions' impact on the planet--and your pocketbook--is a concern for Toshiba. LED backlighting is one of the most power-efficient backlight technologies, and with features like a brightness sensor to automatically adjust backlighting to suit ambient light, this HDTV is designed to run with only the power it needs. It meets the strict ENERGY STAR energy efficiency guidelines set forth by the EPA and US Department of Energy. Pair the WX800 with Toshiba Active Shutter 3D glasses to enjoy broadcast and Blu-ray 3D content.

Home theater without the headache. Stunning Sound Toshiba 3D TVs don't skimp on audio, either. They come with built-in stereo speakers, plus advanced audio technologies including Audyssey EQ to equalize sound for the entire room, Dolby Volume to maintain loudness as you change channels or encounter blaring commercials, plus Dolby Digital Plus, which delivers full audio potential from Blu-ray discs, HD broadcasts, along with streamed and downloaded media. AutoView To give you the best entertainment around the clock, the image on your TV should be bright enough for high-contrast viewing during the day, but not so intense that it strains your eyes at night. Making those adjustments yourself can be a hassle, so Toshiba's AutoView takes care of it for you. Green Engineering Though powerfully entertaining, LED HD TVs are built with a power-conscious design. Each is ENERGY STAR-qualified, so you can reduce your impact while upgrading your television. Gaming Mode Gaming Mode supercharges your playing by reducing game controller delay, allowing the video signal to bypass select internal TV circuitry, shortening signal-to-screen time. Perfect for modern gaming systems. Media Player This TV allows you to enjoy photos, movies or music files stored on a USB device or SD Memory Card. You can also enjoy photos, movies, or music files directly from your PC by connecting the TV to your home network. DLNA certification means the TV can also access DLNA-enabled devices such as network storage drives, etc. 46WX800U Select Specifications Video Screen Size: 46-Inch Diagonal Widescreen Display Type: LED Resolution: 1080p Native Display Resolution: 1920 x 1080 Refresh Rate: ClearFrame 240Hz Dynamic Contrast Ratio: 7,000,000:1 Tuner: NTSC/ATSC/QAM in the Clear Media Formats Video: MPEG2 PS, MPEG2 TS, AVCHD, MP4 Music: MP3, MP4 (AAC), LPCM Photo: JPEG Internet Capability: Net TV DLNA Certified: Yes 802.11 Wi-Fi Capable Yes Inputs/Outputs HDMI: 4 Component Video (Y/PB/PR): 1 PC Input (15-Pin D-Sub): 1 USB Ports: 2 Ethernet Port: 1 Digital Audio Output 1 (Output) Weight and Dimensions Dimensions (WxHxD): 43.00 x 26.11 x 1.15 Inches (43.00 x 28.94 x 11.34 Inches With Stand) Weight: 42.11 lbs.

Outstanding By cdew002 SELECTING: I was in the market for a new TV, but I had no intention of getting a 3D TV until I saw the sale Amazon had that included the Bluray player and glasses for $1299. Too good to pass up since I was going to spend close to that on a regular LED/LCD TV anyway. There were a few sales on Samsungs and Panasonics, but I chose Toshiba. The TV being replaced was a 3.5 year old 50" HD Toshiba DLP. That was a great product, so I decided to exercise a little brand loyalty. Additionally, because Toshiba was one of the last "big" manufacturers to release their 3D TV, I figured they would probably have the best picture since they had more time to perfect their technology. That may be incorrect logic, but it worked for me. There were almost no reviews when I bought the TV, so I kept my fingers crossed. SHIPPING: I waited like a little kid for this thing to get to me - even though I got it in 5 days, it seemed like forever! The box had a huge hole in it (looked like it had been kicked) and the back of the TV had a small dent. I signed for it with the acknowledgement that it was dented so if it didn't work, I could send it back. These things are shipped via freight, and freight is known to be rough on packages. The dent didn't bother me (provided it worked), so I took it home. SETUP: Got home, took it out of the box. This thing is skinny! It is also surprisingly heavy (not overly cumbersome, but it is heavier than it looks). The base attaches like it should - pretty self explanatory. Got it hooked up and turned on. The TV walked me through the setup as it should. The picture was great - I don't have cable (I know, I know), but the OTA stations looked wonderful. It was a very clean look. The response time changing channels was very quick (it was somewhat slower on the DLP TV). The options Toshiba has to change the picture are limitless - I am still tinkering with the picture (although the way it is set up out of the box is great). 3D SETUP: I bought A Christmas Carol, Open Season, and Monsters Vs. Aliens (off eBay) in 3D. Setup is identical to a regular DVD player, except I believe you need to have a 1.4 HDMI cable (not a standard HDMI) to transmit the 3D image. I wish they mentioned this up front, but luckily I did some research before the TV arrived and ordered an Amazon cable for $7. Not a big deal, but I would have been pretty irritated if I would have had to make a trip to BestBuy to buy a $50 cable. For the glasses, you just pull the clear battery saver tab (you'll see it if you don't know what I'm talking about) and you're good to go. You can tell when the glasses are on because the light allowed through the glasses changes. I believe I had to change the TV to auto-detect 3D, but a message pops up and tells you what to do once it sees a 3D disc, so that's all there is to it. STANDARD/BLURAY PICTURE: Fantastic. There's not much more to it. It is a great picture with incredible detail. I thought the old HD DLP Toshiba had a great picture, but I don't know if I'll be able to watch it again because of the improvement this TV is over that one. Bluray really did blow me away on this TV. There are countless adjustments you can make to the picture, which is nice (doubt I'll use them, but it's more of a comfort thing). 3D PICTURE: Didn't know what to expect. After I ordered the 46", I began reading that you needed a bigger screen to appreciate 3D and got worried. Luckily, this wasn't true! The picture is much more "crisp" than in the theaters. When I first put on "A Christmas Carol," all I could do was smile. I had read a lot of blurbs here and there regarding the issues people were having with 3D TVs making "ghost" and "double" images. It actually did happen during one scene of "A Christmas Carol," but I'm not really sure why (it was actually just a character's nose had a ghost image during one scene), and it didn't happen at any
