The latest addition to the Toshiba HDTV lineup is the Regza Super Narrow bezel LCD TV, which we were already able to check out momentarily at this year’s CEDIA. While we love to talk about how great a TV looks, to most, picture quality is not the most important aspect when choosing a new set. Some people are very attached to their furniture, so the maximum width of the TV can be more important than anything else. After all, who doesn’t want to get the biggest HDTV they can fit in that nice cherry armoire; for these people, Toshiba’s latest HDTV is just what they are looking for. But even if you aren’t trying to buy a TV that fits your existing furniture, there is something pleasantly enigmatic about a TV that almost appears to be a screen floating on a wall — albeit a few inches from it.

The Super Thin Bezel Regza isn’t super thin in every category though, in fact it’s the opposite from front to back, but most won’t ever notice unless they’re going for the up against the wall look.

Out of the box, the stand isn’t installed, but it’s easy enough to use the supplied Allen key to fasten it on to the bottom. The remote is sufficient enough, but then again, maybe we’re just used to the el cheapo remotes that come with the HD DVD players these days. Frankly, the unit is nice and wide and the buttons are well placed, and while we would’ve preferred if it were backlit, we realize you can’t have everything … especially for this kind of price!
