Great Bedroom HDTV,
This is my first HDTV, but from what I’ve seen so far, I’m impressed, although I don’t really have much against which to compare it. I’m using it in my bedroom, where it sits next to my PC monitor. Just the OTA broadcasts I have seen so far have looked quite good. Having previously had my Playstation 3 connected to a much smaller LCD SDTV, I’m tempted to replay everything again just to see it in HD, not to mention Blu-ray movies. I had actually been waiting for a good deal on a slightly smaller Samsung LED backlit TV, but found this on sale elsewhere for the same target price for which I had been waiting, so I jumped on it. It turns out that one of the features I had been interested in with the Samsung, the ConnectShare for playback of videos through a USB drive, is actually present in a similar form on this set. Even better, it seems that the Toshiba has a wider range of acceptable formats than the Samsung.
Pros: The image quality is quite acceptable from what I’ve seen so far, as one should expect with a FHD display. As an LED backlit TV, it is impressively thin. The set is web-enabled with such services as Netflix available, though I haven’t used them much yet. Setting up the wireless connection was quite easy. The set includes a very thorough universal remote control. The media player, though not as extensive as a standalone device such as the WD TV Live, is a useful feature. For a set its size, this TV has a good amount of inputs, including 3 HDMI.
Cons: As others have mentioned, the speakers are a bit tinny. Unfortunately, this really is just seems to be inherent in most thin TVs. With digital and analog audio outputs though, it is easily rectified. Though I have not yet tried it, I am hoping that the several USB ports can be used to power a set of small speakers. Using speakers with a 3.5mm connector will of course require an adapter cable. The set also takes several seconds to power on, and around a second or two to change channels.

Excellent TV – Almost,
Nit-Picking: No back lighting on the remote – just a very small raised point on the 5 and Volume keys to help find them in a darken bedroom. …no current time display. This is the level of issues I have – nothing serious, just inconvenient, considering how long Toshiba has been producing televisions. Oh, regarding the sound – it was fine right out of the box – a previous comment about it might be due to a faulty product or the individual didn’t have the opportunity to go to the Internet to review the “User’s Guide” as regards “tweaking” the sound capabilities, which are fairly complete and potentially complex. That’s right, no printed “User’s Guide”. Hopefully, you have a laptop to take into the room where you’ve set up the unit so you can read, from the downloaded .pdf file, the specific instructions regarding: How to… More (1/12/12) Nit-Picking: you can’t enter a 4 digit channel number using the remote – example: 1234 – so you have to press the “CH” up or down to get to a 4 digit channel. The “Response” time to turn on and switch channels is “slooow!” especially when compared with a “analog” Toshiba in another room on the same cable hookup. The base contains a “set screw” which is not shown in the “Users Guide” that allows you to tilt the screen backwards, but, not forward, which was required for placement and proper viewing. Someone mentioned in one of the reviews that the remote stops working – at random – streaming issue? I have experienced this issue. Also mentioned – picture lock – be ready to press the “PIC SIZE” button a lot if you are a channel changer.
