The primary reason why I prefer Toshiba is because its “probably” the only TV that sports a 20W front firing sound bar speaker system. The sound fills the room and is natural. Unlike all other TVs that have their speakers placed behind the LCD panel, they usually face downwards or side way and are usually weak and sound awful.
Whats a TV without sound?
You end up adding external speakers that consume extra power and makes the setup messy.
I didn’t want to spend a fortune on a HD TV and was looking for a decent one with good sound. Toshiba was the only contender! I was very confident about Toshiba’s picture quality and the TVs display out performed my expectation. Brilliant colors. Ofcourse why not Toshiba is know for its innovations. They were the first to make the laptop computer! You can also adjust individual colors as per your preference.
Who should buy this TV?
For those who watch TV and want to play HD movies or connect a laptop or a PC.
Who shouldn’t but this TV?
If you are a serious gamer or watch sports very often. The panel has 60Hz refresh rate,
you will need atleast 120Hz for gaming and sports if you want to avoid ghosting and tear.
Pros:
Very good picture quality. Supports Full HD 1080p video playback.
Awesome sound (10W + 10W) front firing sound bar
USB port for playing photo slide show from pen drive.
3.5mm jack for connecting headphones
Signal booster and digital noise reduction for clear and smooth cable TV reception.
Ports: HDMI x1, composite, component, USB, 3.5mm stereo jack, TV input and PC input.
Cons:
None really. I felt a need for 2 HDMI ports. But that doesn’t hinder the experience. Just add a HDMI splitter and it works fine.
Verdict:
Overall a very good TV (quality picture and sound) for your bedroom for playing HD contents or watching TV.
Very competitively priced entry level model. Toshiba today has many new models compared to what they had a year ago and will make a strong presence with its quality products and pocket friendly pricing.
This is worth recommending.
