Great picture and pretty good sound too,
The stand had to be attached to the TV. You may have to look at the picture instructions a few extra seconds to understand them, I am a little old school and am still use to word instructions. After you figure out the diagram, it takes about a minute to attach the stand.
Setup is fairly easy, a alpha/numeric keyboard automatically pops up when needed to make entering network names and passwords easy. The TV menus are easy to use and are accessed using one button on the remote, setup. The remote is easy to use also, similar to a DirecTv remote. In fact, I setup the Toshiba ‘IR Blaster’ to control my DirecTv box rather than using two remotes.
There was a firmware update available when I turned the TV on the second time. Easy to install, just pushed a few buttons. There will be more in the future.
The apps are in the cloud, but most aren’t available at this time. I will update this review as they become available. Some of the major apps usable now are Netflix, Cinema Now, HuluPlus, Pandoria, Skype, and YouTube. There’s a Netflix button on the remote, press it and you’re there. The Netflix app has the same layout as their website, very easy to navigate with only arrow keys on a TV remote.
I decided not to set-up surround sound for this Toshiba TV because I wanted to hear how good or bad the sound was using the normal TV speakers. The sound is pretty good for a thin TV, so good that I haven’t bothered attaching the cable for surround sound just yet.
Also, it was easy to wirelessly connect the TV to my home PC to display shared pictures, movies, and, music. So easy in fact, that the TV connected automatically. I didn’t need these features and only used them to make sure they worked. It only saw folders that I had previously set up to be shared.
That’s about it for now. I will update this review as more features and apps become available in the cloud.
I have been watching quite a bit of baseball lately. The picture is great, I haven’t noticed any blurring at all. Actually the picture is better on HD sports than on your usual HD network channels but this may have more to do with DirecTv and their Extra Innings baseball programming than Toshiba, but it does give a indication of how good the picture really is.
A review update. Last Night, June 7th 2013, when I turned the TV on, a message appeared saying new software was available. So, I updated. Vudu apps was added, well, actually, the icons were there, they weren’t accessible until now. With Vudu apps you now have access to Vudu movies, Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, and various news apps like, CNN Daily, AC 360, NBC Today Show, NBC Nightly News and New York Times Video News.
