Toshiba 55WX800U - Page 4

Just finished watching Despicable Me and the 3D looked awesome. I also sampled the NBA game from last Friday that I recorded and it also looked sharp and great. The 3D on this tv looks great.

One side note if you're using the PS3 you do have to go to display settings and update for 3D output. At first the movie would not run on 3D because it said I needed compatible equipment.

On the cloud issue I noticed them today when the screen was 100% black. Good news is you can't see the clouds during normal use even in dark scenes.

You have to pic the right settings. Make sure your refresh rate is 24 on window appearence setting. Hows the 3d? Is this a good buy?

Refresh rate doesn't make any difference. I tried 60, 59, 58, 57, 30 and 24.

It's like this: Go in windows explorer, click on something, screen flashes black, mouse goes laggy...like film stabilization turns on, because if is on, the mouse is laggy. Then minimizing a window will make the screen flash black and mouse goes back to normal.

This happens with Firefox also, it's not any specific program. The TV thinks something is happening, even with all features turned off.

It seems that running at 720p fixes the problem. But I didn't buy this TV to run windows at 720p.

So is this a Windows 7 issue, nVidia issue, etc.?
How about ATi? Or Windows Vista/XP?
How about via VGA (DSUB 15 pin)?

Because they're being broadcasted that way.

I hope its not the tv, because I just ordered the tv and having my computer connected to the tv is a must. Also, I think I read on Amazon review where they said the pc looked beautiful on the tv display.

I wish the set had 2d to 3d conversion. Just not enough material yet for me to justify 3d.

Really? I mean 1500 for a 55inch TV with those kinds of specs isn't enough to justify? You do realize, buying a 2D TV will likely cost you MORE money right?

yup, i noticed it on my set as well, but nowhere near as bad as the pic posted earlier. it's ever so slight and not noticeable during the movies, even in dark scenes.

Not sure if it's only Windows 7/Nvidia as that's all I have. I didn't have this problem with my Sharp, so this is not my system. It could be the combination.

VGA I tested and it was ok, but it cannot run 1080P. The problem is only with 1080p. 720P works fine. Maybe there is some custom resolution that can be setup with VGA, or not, but defaults only allowed full screen resolutions like a PC monitor. To me the color is better in DVI/HDMI vs VGA.

I do have an ATI 4670 card laying around. I'll pop it in and see if it makes any difference.

So far I'm not having any issues with the ATI card. This seems to be Nvidia specific, or possibly even EVGA GTX 260 specific in combination with this TV. As I said I didn't have problems with my Sharp Aquos.

I'm getting a Galaxy GTX 460, so I'll test that one when I get it.

Spoke too soon, it's happening now with the ATI card! 1080p with windows is just a problem with this TV for me anyway.

Called Toshiba and they said to try a 1.4 cable. I seriously doubt that will help considering all it does is add ethernet, 3d sound, etc. A 1.3 cable should work fine. There's a chance I suppose, since data throughput is higher.

I am most likely going to return it. The glare is kind of annoying and the 3D has a little ghosting.

You are scaring me. I hope this is a isolated issue or settings problem. Did you try the tv settings? 240 hz, turning it off or putting it on game mode.

Mine came! Finally! Although the LED would light up I couldn't see any menus or use any inputs. The unit was dead on arrival. After several minutes with Toshiba's text support they offered to send a guy out with spare parts.

I could already see a ton of clouding creeping up in the lit display.

Yea, no thanks. Back to Amazon. I will get the Sony NX810 instead.

I had my tv running. I Installed the Media option under applications on the tv. Went to the computer, clicked Control Panal, Under "Network and Internet" i clicked "Choose Homegroup and sharing options". Then under "Share media with devices" I clicked "Choose Media sharing options". The tv was located and i "Allowed" it.

I noticed more clouding in my set after more usage now.
It's easily noticeable in very dark scenes and somewhat noticeable in less dark scenes.

However, it's only noticeable when playing a Blu-ray movie. Using the same player (PS3), when playing a game with black backgrounds, it is not there.

What's up with that?

You should check out the amazon.com reviews. There is a guy over there who keeps reporting and commenting on everyone who says anything bad about this TV. TGoldstein or something. I guess he works for Toshiba or something and is getting really upset with any bad reviews that mention clouding.
