Although it seems a bit daft to me that a TV which apparently prides itself on satisfying the AV cognoscenti should ship with such generally poor presets as those of the 46SV685D, the fact remains that with a bit of effort, the 46SV685D really can produce some scintillating LED-backlit picture quality.
That said, I'm reluctantly not feeling quite able to give the 46SV685D a TrustedReviews Recommended badge. Why? Because of its £2,381 price. For ironically given how aggressively priced most of Toshiba's other flat TVs are right now, the 46SV685D just seems too expensive. After all, you can pick up Samsung's ultra-glamorous UE46B8000 for nearly £800 less these days, and Pioneer's still-imperious 50in Kuro PDP-LX5090 plasma can still be found going for £2,300 or so.Read full review
