I usually "calibrate" a set by first setting it to "cinema" mode and tweaking from there. I happen to have set up one of these sets recently. I have noticed that this set starts up by having you choose between "showroom" and "home. "Home" is the first thing to select. Then I went into the menu, selected "cinema" mode and turned down the "color" setting some, because the colors were much too rich. Then I adjusted the brightness and contrast. I always compare several channels because the colors on any one channel are often inaccurate. I didn't touch the "tint (or hue)" setting at all. I also shut off all the noise reduction, because I have FIOS TV and noise isn't much of a problem. I hope this helps, and is a good starting point for you.

Hello and good day. After calling customer service,I ended up returning it to Toshiba to get fixed. Since then, no problem. I also had a faulty lamp.

Mine just died Friday after using for six weeks. I am livid. I am typing right now on a Toshiba Satellite that is over five years old so clearly the new one was a lemon. Now I am off to jump through warranty hoops. Uuurgh.

I bought a Sony recommended by Consumer Reports, but before hooking it up I read user reviews here on Amazon--they spoke of copyright problems and recommended this Toshiba. I returned the Sony and am hopeful; abouit this Toshiba.

You should always edit your images with your laptop cover opened where you see the screen at its brightes and consistently keep doing it that way. That means you should calibrate your monitor to that specific, upright setting. I would have an image printed and compare it to your screen

I called Toshiba about this and was told it's just a market difference. The TVs are the same, the models just vary in each market. I guess online retailers just mix up the models.

I had the same problem!I can't really remember but I think it's just disappeared the way it came! My advise to you:THROW IT AWAY!I did it and I've got a Toshiba Encore.It's AWSOME!No more demo signs, no ads...etc

I am thinking about buying the Toshiba D-VR610. I have read your replies and they are very good. You seem to be honest and knowledgeable in your assessment of this product. Thanks for your input.Walter C.

I am a bit confused by the question as well as the one response received on 1/10 from Patricia Boyd. There are two different batteries involved here. One is # PA3817U-1BRS (rated by Toshiba on its web site as 48Wh). The other is # PA3818U-1BRS (rated by Toshiba on its web site as 61Wh). I ordered the latter of the two batteries but was shipped the former and when I complained I was told that the two batteries were the same - this is SIMPLY NOT TRUE! After way too much back and forth I finally was able to return the battery for a refund which took about two months to actually happen. The higher Wh means that the battery should hold a charge better than the one with the lower Wh designation. Jane C.

Hi, I checked the manual it does not list calibration procedures. This is an inexpensive unit and when it goes bad it is time for a new one. I had their previous model for 5 years before it needed to be replaced. Good luck

Hey Elliot,Did you have the specialists at the stores calibrate the visual settings (brightness, contrast, etc.) to be the same on both the 650 and the 850? Alot of the time, the stores make the more expensive models look better in order to get you to buy the more expensive one. My advice, go bad to the stores and tell them to make the settings the same and then compare. I'd be very curious to know the result. Good luck.

I checked the users guide and do not see any information about calibration of the unit. There is a support number you can call.

After two months my Toshiba Satellite C655 Crashed. The Blue Screen of death appeared and I entered the White Light. Sent the machine back to TOSHIBA and they were great. Replaced the hard drive and touchpad (the touchpad was defective from day 1)! Works fine now. But my question is for HOW LONG?

To all the people bad mouthing this 47" toshiba 1080p lcd tv: IT'S YOUR LOSS!I bought this tv for the $1199 & so far-no regret. I had read all the reviews & saw that most of the negatives were from people who had ordered previously through a 3rd party vendor & received a 42" instead of a 47". Also some complained about a 'green shift or push'--I have not seen it. Maybe this sale batch of tv's were improved. There are so many ways to adjust the color, but it looked good right out of the box so I only made minor adjustments. Glad I got it & the 52" Toshiba when they were on sale-'cause of the savings & the good quality.

I purchased a Toshiba dvd/vcr combination recorder/ player. It is model # DVR670KU. I have never been able to get it to work. I have a Sony LCD Digital Color TV (Bravia). Even the cable guy could not get it to work. I bought it on Ebay (first mistake) and they would not take it back. I have had it 2 years and yet to get it to record or play a dvd. What am I doing wrong.

Hi Janet . . . You need a much more technical person than I am. Ours hasn't given us any problems. Toshiba tech support would be my first stop. Good luck.
