The good: The Toshiba TL515U evinced good picture quality for an edge-lit LED-based LCD, with relatively deep black levels in dark scenes, even screen uniformity and very good video processing. Its matte screen works well in bright rooms. Its Internet suite includes built-in Wi-Fi. Passive 3D on this TV has minimal crosstalk, is brighter than active, and Toshiba includes four pairs of lightweight, nonpowered glasses.
The bad: The TL515U's backlight fluctuated more than usual, causing contrast and color to vary depending on scene content. Its picture loses fidelity from off-angle in dark scenes worse than other LCDs. The Net TV internet portal is light on content compared to competitors. Passive 3D shows a softer image with more artifacts and worse overall quality than active.
The bottom line: Although its attractive features, design, and passive 3D have merit, the picture quality issues of the Toshiba TL515U LED-based LCD TV lessen its appeal in the face of the stiff competition.
Pros: Picture quality is decent, high-def comes in clear. Games play with little lag on PS3. Although I a waiting until nVidia releases Kepler graphics cards to check native 3D PC gaming, so stay tuned.

Summary: Despite random backlight flickering, and a slow boot up time, this does pretty much anything you'd expect from a 3D television of this size. Still waiting on nVidia's new generation of GPUs to try out 3D Vision on this, but Blu-ray quality, and PS3 gaming quality, as well as 2D picture quality are rather decent, but not great.
