Fab tv & DOES have Bluetooth!
Love this tv, when looking for one I specifically wanted Bluetooth & there were many reviews that said this doesn’t have it. Well it does and it is in the settings!
You must do a full factory reset on delivery.
Always liked Toshiba,very reliable,the value for the 55″ is incredible,everything brilliant after the factory reset,but you need to do this if your aerial,hdmi ,sky box settings etc don’t work,it’s a common fault apparently.Enjoy.
Very good value for money
Was dubious ordering a TV on amazon but I’m so glad I did. Great value for money. Great picture quality for the price paid. Good sound etc.
Love the fully built in amazon/Alexa. Highly recommend.
Would not connect to cable box
I followed the very basic instructions. Everything worked except it would not find my Virgin cable box.
Eventually decided to return it after a very helpful Amazon techie could not solve the problem and Toshiba’s help was too busy.
However after a factory reset to remove my passwords and personal data the Virgin Box connected and all is well.
One other nigle , the optical socket is very poor and the cable kept falling out, I have connected with an HDMI to the ark socket instead.
An up grade needed
Like the look of the telly great picture quite easy to install. Reviews helped as one little problem in setting up. But put back to factory settings for the HDMI cable as it wasn’t recognising it. Then it was all sorted. Dislike only personal choice the stand prefer a swivel base.
I’ve had this TV a while now and it’s been a Gem, the installed fireTV makes it a doddle to use with most of the same features. The HDMI 2.1 works as expected (there seems to be some confusion amongst other reviews about this) I can clarify that it indeed does work as 2.1 should expect with eArc/Arc and how a 60hz TV should work. What it won’t do is turn the TV into a 120hz TV so you can hook your ps5 or Xbox up and pretend to be a PC gamer you’ll need a 120hz TV for that and this one is only 60hz
HDMI connections work
You should connect either your Xbox or Playstation console before turning on and setting up the TV. I had the same issue but I solved it by doing a factory reset and turned off the TV, connect my Xbox with hdmi cable before you turn on the TV and it worked.
Lovely TV, light for its size. Easy to set up. Loads quick. Picture quality is as good as you’d expect from a 4kUHD. Its only downside is the sound quality. Very quiet and sounds like it’s coming through a tin can. I would 100% recommend external speakers or a sound bar.
TV review
I like Toshiba company for TVs as i used them before, however this TV picture was little red in my opinion and maybe it was due to fact that i could not adjust it despite some efforts.
Did this video because had i known how slow it is to boot up (not from Standby, from Off), it would’ve influenced my decision pre-purchase. I can (do) live with it, but thought it might be helpful to others (I’ve had it for about 4 or 5 months). In essence, it was 400 pounds very well spent: picture is good, sound sync via optical link with soundbar is very good (you need to set the lag in settings), and I like the fact that there are plenty of ports (most of mine are unused, but good to have). The built-in WiFi is flawless, as is the Fire TV element. I’ve tested it’s picture and sound between a) coax (‘normal’ TV aerial), b) WiFi and c) hard-wired ethernet cable (I don’t have Sky or cable TV, just Freeserve, Netflix & Prime Video). All are good, although the hard-wired ethernet connection compares especially well vs aerial, especially in poor weather when the DTV aerial picture sometimes struggles. This 65″ TV replaced a 65″ LG OLED for which I paid 3,000 pounds 6 years ago, and which was starting to suffer from screen burn. The only reason for mentioning that, is to put into context against what I’m comparing this TV. The 6 year-old LG OLED was much better when I used UHD and it had less reflection (see vid), no lag from Off and wasn’t restricted to Tosh/Fire apps., but is that worth 2,400 pounds extra? Not in my world. This TV’s great (I also bought one for my Dad), and most people won’t be disappointed by the general features, but do be aware the start-up takes around 65 seconds. Also, it’s important to know that unless your plug socket is within 3m of the TV, you’ll have to either rewire and extend it (immediately nullifying your warranty), or buy a longer cable. If you’ve chased cables behind the wall mount and swing bracket (as I’ve done), you immediately lose 1m between the right hand side TV power port and the recessed wall tunnel (allowing for the bracket to swing without pulling out the cable), then ~1.5m to the skirting board, so if your socket isn’t right there, buy that longer cable alongside the TV.
(review left after a week of usage, having bought the item myself!)
I bought the set to replace an older Toshiba model. I had upgraded to an Xbox Series X, so wanted to get the best compatiblity from that with the new set. The first thing to say is that out of the box, the colour settings will give you an immediate migraine, so you will want to address that immediately! The problem here is, there is NO MANUAL with the set (55″) to show you how to achieve this. You need to hold the “HOME” button on the remote until the menu comes up for the input you are trying to change settings for, and you can go from there to get to your liking. (The remote, by the way – will look very familiar if you have ever owned a Fire Stick!) You will need to repeat this procedure for each active input you have on your set.
The next main issue I encountered, was that the set will not by default play ANY of the media I have on my external HDDs, despite there being a native “media player” built in to the set. If you want to remedy this, you can go into the app store and download “VLC PLAYER” which will solve the problem. I know you shouldn’t have to do this, but it’s a work-around to get things going.
Other than that, a fairly pleasant experience using it and watching content etc. The HDR was easy enough to configure, but as this is my 1st HDR set, I have nothing to base this against. As such, I won’t go into too much detail about it either – suffice it to say that what I’ve seen with it was not displeasing! Overall, a solid 4 stars, taking into account the lack of instructions, and the media player issues.
100% worth the price, quality of the sound produced is amazing from the tv alone, gives off a great atmosphere. Screen quality is mind blowing, genuinely amazed of the things it can do and the quality it produces for the price.
To get apple airplay to work you must first set the TV up. Then FORCE a software download. On TV select settings ‘Device & software’ then ‘About’ then ‘Check for updates’.
Once you have done this if you go to settings screen on TV select ‘Display & Audio’ you can now select ‘Apple Airplay and Homekit’ , follow the onscreen prompts on TV and select screen mirroring on your iPhone.
Good luck, the manual is pointless.
A real improvement over our 5-year-old TV, picture quality is good.
Did take a while to get it connected to Sky Wifi, but once connected has been okay.
The only downside has been the time it takes to start up from cold.
Absolute bargain for the quality!
It’s hard to show the actual sharpness of the image watching on this tv! For the price, at 50″ I am SO pleased with the image quality, colours, sharpness etc. having an Amazon fire tv is perfect for jumping between all your fave streaming subscriptions and I can’t recommend this tv enough for its ease of use and screen quality. Even the sound is full, clear and even I love it!!
The one thing I dislike about this tv is that it’s incorporated with Amazon fire so if you want to download apps with it you have to go through the one-click witch is always infuriating
4.0 out of 5 stars very nice tv .Thanks
Great picture quality, lets hope it lasts a few years.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great value for money on a 4K HD fire-tv
Brought with discount and apart from smudge on top of screen (seen at sides), watching 4K is great. Must be great for gaming too, but not tried.
Great TV
For that price, I have to say it is a lovely TV with clear pictures and prompt response using the remote controller.
Good value for money!
Will test Alexa settings next week.
A fantastic package of 4K UHD, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and Fire TV at a great price. Easy to set up, connect to home network, and launch favourite apps. Downloaded a full user manual to see what’s what and try a few tweaks but my THX tv tuning app confirmed that the factory settings for brightness, contrast, colour and tint are spot on. The tv drives our soundbase really well, the sound is much more detailed and involving than before. Movies made in HDR look and sound stunning. Glastonbury streamed live in UHD was spectacular. Day to day broadcasting and streaming in HD are great. The TV’s remote handles the sound base and Blu-ray player very neatly.
Coming from a low base, this is a really big upgrade and super value.
The picture is good, the sound is not as good as I was expecting a the TV has Dolby Atmos and a built in Sub. The picture and sound adjustments are not as variable as my old TV. The most annoying thing is the on/off illumination on the bottom right of the TV which during the evenings distracts from the picture, have stuck a piece of gaffer tape over it.
easy set up, love the voice control and all easy set up of channels. You need an amazon prime account to take full advantage of all features.
Bought as cheap pc monitor and got so much more
2 days of use and really blown away by picture quality. Alexa can be used to access all functions including switching inputs and picture adjustment. Would highly recommend.
The first thing I will state that I was very disappointed with and a little feeling of being mislead is the fact that this TV does not have hdmi 2.1 ports even though the title and specs says it does , the main reason I purchased this TV was because of this because I wanted to use my Xbox series s with it and run at 4k 120hz and have HDR capabilities and I even made sure I ordered a 2.1 capable hdmi cable to come with it but when it arrived I unfortunately found out it only has hdmi 2.0 ports so please be aware of this before buying ( note you can still play games at 4k 60hz but you won’t be able to run 4k 120hz with this TV )
However away from that fact , the screen is great and the resolution is fantastic when you can achieve the 4k but even when you can’t things are still nice and clear and definitely an upgrade from my 1080p TV , the speakers aswell sound very nice and clear and music does sound good and having the option of Dolby or surround is nice and is noticeable,
Having Alexa built in as well was a good add on for me as I have an echo as well so can control the TV with it etc and have my Amazon accounts linked to it including Amazon music unlimited
Good overall tv and would recommend but they need to stop misleading people about the hdmi 2.1
Good mid range tv, easy set up and so far no problem. Good sharp picture and clear sound. So far so good
The TV is great, picture quality and sound, easy to set up and use. The only downside to it is that it doesn’t have any sort of ports other than usb and hdmi, so if like me you have any consoles that need either scart or AV input etc you can’t connect them. I know most things are wireless, Bluetooth, HDMI etc these days but to not compensate for older consoles isn’t good or at least provide adapters. But other than that I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t quality for the money I paid and would recommend it, just keep in mind about the connections.
Wow…reading the reviews, some negative points some really good, but I think those with the negative comments are being far too picky and i think, for the price it is brilliant.
For those that are moaning about this and that, you want perfection, go spend the money.
Great picture, fantastic sound, fabulous as a TV, or for Gaming and using as a Monitor.
4k films are brilliant and really stand out, as do games (I am using a PC Tower Unit, with plenty of poke).
Those with the negative comments paid 349, I only paid 229, so you can imagine my delight.
Menus easy to navigate and there is plenty to keep you in front of this TV for the rest of your life and you will not want to leave it lol
I have the same size (43″), although a different make, in my bedroom, I shall be selling that and putting the money towards getting me another one of these.
Purchase this and you will not be disappointed
Very happy with the purchase for use as a TV c/w fire stick.
4.0 out of 5 stars Value for Money
It is a good product and the main aspect is picture quality.
After purchasing a RCA and had problems with it twice in two months I returned it and got a Toshiba. To be fair I only realised ot is a firetv too when it arrived. But was happy anyways. The sound is amazing, the picture however tricky. It would be five star if I would be able to control black light and brighness settings without doing them everytime I turn it on and or even while watching live tv do it again and again. I I even tried to trun off the Dolby Vision but it keeps turn itself back on…. Which give a level of brightness I am not necessarily comfortable with on the long shot. When I go to picture settings I only can set the live tv’s settings for a while or the video but no app’s such as YouTube or Netflix is affected by it…sadly. As I had it for a couple of days only we will see how it goes… I might and up retuning it and by a more simple version of Toshiba. Other then this issue it is absolutely a great bargain for the price!
I’m not really complaining at the price, and I sit in the same place to watch TV so doesn’t affect me much, but you only have to move a couple of metres to either side and the picture washes out and loses definition – a major negative if several people are watching from different places in the room. I also can’t make Alexa work, but that may be me being stupid. Seen a few comments about remote, don’t really understand them unless you’ve got fingers like the incredible hulk. Small, neat, does what it says on the tin. All in all I think a 55” Smart, HD TV for 329 is decent and I’m happy. Set up is also easy – though be patient with update and download, it does them twice which it doesn’t say in manual. Mostly good, let’s see how long it lasts – I’ve got an LG upstairs that’s 18 years old and perfect, but this is to replace a Sharp that died after 6.
UPDATED REVIEW: I had some issues with the first unit that Amazon sent me, but after getting a replacement I can finally give a final score. This TV offers a decent panel, with pretty bright colours and a bunch of nice features also present in most TVs at this price point, but I would say that the sound, which isn’t great (something that I expected) is probably a bit better than their rivals. However, most of you would probably rather use a decent soundbar with eARC technology.
One thing that I liked is the fact that Fire TV works much better and in a snappier way than Android TV at this price point, so browsing the menus and looking for apps or content is much nicer from my point of view. The drawback is that Fire TV is much more limited, so there are less apps, less flexibility and it won’t allow you to rename your inputs with whatever name you want (you will have to select from a very limited list that it doesn’t contain something as simple as “Computer”) Another think that I didn’t like is that if you select UK as your location it will just offer you a few language in the TV OS. My mother language is Spanish so I found that a bit annoying that Canadian French was an option over a European language that can be understood by almost a billion people in the world. Seriously Amazon?
If you are going to use this TV with a PC, it might require a bit of tinkering in order to remove all the pre-processing stuff that is applied to image by default. Once you have done that you should be getting a clear enough image with almost no artifacting and you can save the configuration for each input. It’s still not an ideal panel to connect a PC though, a big monitor with high refresh rate, or a high-end gaming TV will be much more suitable options. But if you are ok with that, it will definitely do the trick.
The VESA mounting system chosen is a bit strange, to be honest. 100×100 for a 43″ TV is going to put quite a lot of stress into the plastic carcass. I have mounted it on the wall and for the moment it looks good, but I wouldn’t try to tilt it down in case the plastic casing isn’t strong enough. It’s preferable to install the wall mount a bit lower. Also, be careful with the bottom left screw hole, it seems to be less deep than the rest. I needed to use a shorter screw in order to be able to mount it.
In conclusion, this TV is a good option if your are on a tight budget that pair up nicely with an Xbox Series S or a budget PC. It will also work very well as a cheap video streaming solution. But with some noticeable compromises. It won’t be ideal for those who look for top-notch features.
OLD REVIEW: The TV was faulty and it’s going back to Amazon. I guess that I just was unlucky, so I ordered a replacement. I’ll be updating this review when I get a unit that works as it should, but it has to be one star for the time being.
Absolutely love this tv with a smooth Alexa voice control. Stylish, sleek, ultra thin with a great sound and a beautiful clear picture. Already loaded with Prime & Netflix and lots of free apps, I am ‘hooked’ on this beautiful tv.
This was a great deal at 269 or an even better deal to buy the bundle; same tv + video ring doorbell for the SAME price of 269. Who wouldn’t love a deal like that? Sadly my tv arrived without the ring doorbell and when I spoke to customer services (normally a positive experience) the lady told me “I had accidentally unchecked the bundle and selected just the tv” hence no ring doorbell. Errr what?
The second lady I spoke to told me “at the time I ordered the bundle the promotion was finished” .. I checked and it was still ongoing. So no ring doorbell. Huh? Are you saying I saw a great bundle deal, but when I ordered it, the promotion ‘suddenly’ became unavailable and then the next day became available again???
Becoming a tad irate I sent an email to customer services attaching a screenshot of the bundle promotion showing it still available. Then I spoke to a third lady.. “that’s not very good service from us” she said. “Don’t worry, be patient and I will send you a ring doorbell .. you will receive it by the 21st October. Ahh relief, somebody is taking my complaint seriously!
Needless to say the 21st came and went .. and no ring doorbell. At that point I confess, I gave up.
So, here we are reviewing my fabulous new tv..
However, for the outrageous customer service, Amazon .. I’m giving you a 4 star rating (it would have been a 5 star because I absolutely love the tv). But instead of the joy of playing with my video ring doorbell (I’ve secretly coveted one since they first came out) instead at the age of 65 I’m moving in two weeks, sadly alone, into a new flat. The ring doorbell would have provided extra security for me, but being an OAP, I can’t afford to buy the video ring doorbell.. I’m still paying for the tv.
I have since found out that when you add the bundle to your basket, it’s fine until you go to pay for it (in this case through Klarna) because it automatically selects the single item and you have to re select the bundle. Sadly, didn’t notice (being new to Klarna and all.
So instead of dreaming of a white Christmas, I’m dreaming of a video ring doorbell. Perhaps .. just perhaps .. when Amazon review my review they will relent .. and send me the video ring doorbell I ordered. Now that would be the excellent customer service I know they usually provide .. and they’d be keeping an old lady safe in her new home!
Toshiba UF3D 43 Inch Smart Fire TV 109.2 cm (4K Ultra HD, HDR10, Freeview Play, Prime Video, Netflix, Alexa voice control, HDMI 2.1, Bluetooth, Airplay).
This arrived promptly the next upon ordering in perfect condition.
My husband and I unpackaged it carefully and took it upstairs as we decided to put it in the bedroom and remove our old TV, the old TV was a 50″ but just a basic TV with built in free view only and it had shadowing on the screen.
This Toshiba TV has gone on the wall, on the same wall mount and in the same place the old one was…… It didn’t take long to do this.
Once switched on we got it connected to our WiFi, it connected with no issues on the first attempt.
We then did an auto search for channels, signed into amazon ect.
This TV is fantastic but the settings are not very good especially if you want to change the sound as you can not hear what you are setting it too as it takes you from the TV to the settings so if the sound settings arnt right you have to keep going back to settings to get it to your liking…. So I think there should be a ghost screen so you don’t have to keep going back as its quite annoying.
The remote control is like an amazon firestick control, its quite small but works as it should….. The remote works the same as the amazon firestick remote.
This TV is exactly as the description describes and works perfectly, just the minor settings issue but I guess I will get used to that.
It’s so good that I can lay in bed and watch anything I like which could be on normal TV, amazon, you tube and so much more.
It works fast too.
I can reccomend and the price is actually reasonable considering all the things that are built into it.
Very happy with this!
The TV is 4k with hdr content, it has a 43″ screen, the screen is very clear and even more clear on the HD channels.
