I purchased this 50" Toshiba 4K TV via another online retailer a week ago for a similar price. I'll highlight the negatives, followed by the positives and why I rate it a 5 star TV.
As others posts have mentioned, it's not quick. When left on standby overnight and turned on in the morning, it feels as though it's coming out of deep hibernation. The power light turns green, and it can feel like an eternity before the program actually appears.
The instruction leaflet is terrible, tiny print and nonsensical.
To attach the stand is a 2 person job, try turning TV upside down on a sofa which helps (be careful!) The 4 flat head screws attach underneath, and the 4 round head screws to the back of the stand.
Power light may bother some, I find it unobtrusive myself.
Build quality is okay for the price, the bezels are not the slimmest, however it still looks smart. The grey / pewter effect looking stand adds some welcome interest.
Remote control is compact, numerical buttons in particular are very small. Might not be suitable for older people because of this.
General lag, as mentioned earlier with powering up, the same applies with general use. Changing channels there's a noticeable delay, it all works, but don't expect instant responses.
Encountered a couple of glitches, powered up, got sound but no picture (Freeview through aerial). Switched off from the mains and problem seemed sorted. Occured again, repeated process, retuned channels and all appears okay so far.
Sound not the greatest, although more than acceptable.
Now the positives, picture quality is very good, once you've tweaked the settings to suit your tastes.
If you like apps, this has access via Amazon to a huge selection, plus a fair amount of free ones.
Navigating the menu is pretty straightforward, holding down the "Home" button is a shortcut to the settings.
Despite the plastic build, it's a smart looking set. The 50" option fitting nicely on my unit, much better than my previous 42" LG set.
There's an unmistakable retro vibe to this TV (Hello Tosh, got a Toshiba? For those of a certain age! Lol ) you know it's not a Samsung, which is what appealed to me.
In conclusion, this TV ticks so many boxes. It's a Toshiba, although manufactured in Turkey, it feels well put together, so gives peace of mind.
It's not without slight irritations for some, the slow responses being the most obvious, however I can overlook these given the overall value on offer.
A Samsung or Sony may well be that much quicker, but you're probably looking at twice the price at least.
All things taken into account, I have no hesitation rating it as a 5 star purchase. The price is amazing value, accept some of the limitations, and you won't be disappointed.
