Clean Picture Quality and the Slimness is insane…, January 13, 2011

Toshiba has a winner on their hands with this HDTV. The Picture Quality is stunning, just like if you were looking outside a window but there’s no window. You get a nice 55-inch HDTV 1080p with 120Hz refresh rate and a stunning 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio along with built-in Wi-Fi. Netflix support is on the way from what I was told, but anyway.

The Audio Quality is real clean sounding. The remote is a fully loaded and very easy to navigate. Its super narrow size is what caught my eye; it’s just pleasant to look at and goes with any decor within the home. I’ve parked this HDTV in my theatre room.

Look out Plasma, LCD / LED is catching up fast and eventually will take over IMO. Don’t hesitate; this is the buy of a life time for super Picture and Audio Quality with some class… 100% this HDTV gets a 5**** rating…

Note to Canadian Customers:

I love the 50 month warranty Toshiba Canada offers. (Not sure about the USA) That’s a nice 4+ years of peace of mind, they definitely back there product(s). Normally a 4 year warranty costs about 9+ at a big box store. Anyway,

No Netflix access., January 11, 2011

I bought this TV specifically so I could get Netflix over the internet. Well, that does not happen.

I can access the internet but there is no Netflix widget in their NET TV menu. The manual, on page 61, tells you what to do

to activate Netflix but it will not work without the Widget being available to be selected.

I have been talking to Netflix and Toshiba customer service with no help. Netflix tells me if the widget is on the

TV it should work, but with no widget, good luck.

Toshiba does not know what is happening and they tell me they will get back to me in two or three days after they research it.

I doubt this because on Sunday one of their customer service reps was very rude so I asked to speak to a supervisor. I was informed that

a supervisor would get back to me on Monday. Here it is Tuesday and I am still waiting for a call back from a supervisor.

All other features of the TV set a great i.e. picture sound …etc… But their customer does not seem to informed about their

product. This does not bode well for other problems I may have.

It’s a fantastic product for the picture quality.

Glare is awful., January 24, 2011

By 

Brooke A. Fowler – See all my reviews

  

This television is beautiful as long as the lights are off. The CrystalCoat does not do anything for the glare factor that was a problem with old tube TVs. We have to eliminate all sources of light from the room to be able to see a decent picture.

Contrary to the other reviews, we have had no issues connecting to Netflix or Blockbuster apps after we ran the update. The picture itself is awesome and the remote works perfectly with a U-verse cable box. Set up was easy and we love watching movies on it… in the dark.

On a side note, the sound on this thing is a bit off as well. We are going to get a soundbar with sub to see if that helps but it’s very pitchy on it’s own. I think this is very common with most flat screens that are this thin so I’m not that upset about it.
