New purchase OK One last update Returned this T.V to store and bought another T.V. all together. This T.V is a complete joke TV would turn off and back on with nothing happening. No way am I buying something that just turns off all by itself. Even firmware updates should resolve issues if this is the case.As mentioned my computer speakers have better sound than this TV and the people are wrong you should be able to expect better sound from a thin TV if my laptop can sound good and loud than a TV should sound like I am in a concert hall. No additional amplification or stereo should be required. My laptop sound actually drowned out the sound from T.V.previous Update OK an update to my review. Like others I have to agree the volume on this thing is just atrocious. Toshiba should be ashamed of the volume level for this T.V. virtually no bass what so ever even at the highest setting. I went too 100 on volume and it was still weak volume. Any outside noise almost drowned out the sound my laptop has way better sound. I even watched a movie off laptop and the sound was louder on my laptop then on tv. This needs to be fixed because Toshiba touts sounds as crisp clear and loud on web site. It was one of the highlighted features on website. What a joke.Standard definition output is just horrible lots of ghosting and color spill. and the viewing angle is just awful as well. The only way to see the true vivid colors is to sit directly in front of T.V. I have gone through most of the settings and find that some things are lacking. I have bought several Toshiba's in the past and so far am a little disappointed. HD is decent but still see some artifacts where the picture is not as sharp as I feel it should be.
I will GIve you 5 and 2 I like this TV excellent video and very bright colors its design is very nice and well done with glass top and base of aluminum and chromium at the ends.Look at something on the TV software is a bit complex and then the instruction manual is poor information on how to do everything the TV.
great TV for the money I had it for a months now. Video is great . Sound is 10 Watt but it more than enough for me for regular TV.For movie use my soound system.Remote control is kind of confusing initially but getting use it after learning curve. Had to call support good response time.Overall it is a beautiful TV for the money.
Do not expect it to last I purchased this HDTV 6 months ago and used all it's features Netflix Pandora vudu etc and I must say I am very dissatisfied. The firmware updates were worthless. Every time I turned the TV on and wanted to connect with the internet it would always say network error while I'm on Netflix! It has a nasty habit of shutting itself down and turning itself on with a unchangeable black screen it only changes when you pull the plug. Every time I spoke to Toshiba's customer service it was like yelling at a brick wall completely futile. They always told me that they were solving it or to get the latest firmware and when I did get the latest firmware I already had but gave it another chance they gave me the runaround and pretty much told me to piss off.The picture is wonderful can't complain too much about the sound because its never on the TV system but instead played through my surround sound system. I got this TV for the Internet applicability and it has failed. Monday I am returning it and getting a larger Sony Bravia with similar and/or better features. In my opinion save your money and purchase something at least worth the paper it's printed on. I hope Toshiba focuses on their customer service and the technology that once drew me in as a customer. I will think twice before ever purchasing any Toshiba device again.
Not for the money I purchased this TV for my wife. We're wrapping up redecorating the bedroom and I sold the Toshiba 32 LCD that we had in there. I wanted a moderately priced 40 or 42 inch TV to mount on the wall. We cancelled our cable service so I wanted to have Netflix and connection to our PC video files built into the TV that we purchase. This Toshiba advertised these features and since my previous two Toshiba TVs were so good I thought why not?Once I got it home and mounted the problems started to show up. The navigation through the menu is very slow. This is especially true when I connected to my Windows 7 PC over the network. Didn't matter if I used wireless or wired networking. Netflix works but it's very slow to connect and takes forever to load up the video once you are finally able to see all of the album covers. Then a few days later it stopped working and only showed the Getting titles screen. It wouldn't load any further. All of my other devices worked fine. I have an 8mbps internet connection.The built in audio is very thin and tinny sounding. To be expected really. I'm going to buy a sound bar for it. The Samsung one looks like it's probably the winner.The picture on the screen is pretty good. No real complaints there. I don't see any splotches or light leaks. There aren't any dead pixels either.All in all if you want to actually use this TV for its features don't bother. Either look for something better in the competition's line up or buy a simpler TV and get separate set top box to handle the rest.
THSHIBA 42SL417U BOUGHT THIS TV BRAND NEW. HAD PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE. LOSES INTERNET CONNECTION SOMETIME AND YOU HAVE TO RESET IT. IT FREEZES SOMETIME FOR NO REASON.BUT I REALLY LOVE THE PICTURE QUALITY AND THE DESIGN FOR THIS TV. SOUND QUALITY SUCKS AND YOU HAVE TO CONNECTED TO YOUR HEME THEATER SYSTEM.USB DOESN'T SUPPORT A LOT OF FORMATS AND SOMETIME IT DOESN'T READ. TO VIEW PHOTO ON THIS TV IS REALLY REALLY SLOW.BAD TV WITH GOOD PICTURE QUALITY. IF YOU HAVE MORE MONEY BUY LG OR SAMSUNG.
Great TV great price Great TV. very nice picture netflix and pandora work great with this as well as wireless access to router. Easy setup. Super thin looks great in the living room. Several options for audio video hook ups. Random but guitar hero work great with no controller lag.
Toshiba LED 42SL417U First of allthe manual included is terrible for a MUCH better one go to Toshiba's sitehere NowI haven't had too many issues w/ this TV and I've had it in our bedroom for about a week now. The speakers are terrible which was expected especially on a superthin LED tvnot a problem since I expected it but you'd think with the amazing sound quality they get out of headphones that they could do something similar with smaller speakers huh?I have had no issues after turning off the dynamic volume option and the auto dimming sensor option would dim every time someone walked in front of the tv or if the sun covered up the clouds since it shines through our windowswas very annoying.My games look fantastic on it and movies are great and the streaming is a very nice touch since I have a media server in the house. One issue I noticed was the sound is actually worse on the speakers whenever you're streaming from a media server as opposed to watching tv or gaming as I streamed from my Ps3 and the sound from the video was fine even on the tiny speakers but it was terrible when it was streaming straight to the tv from the media browser. I'm sure that I can remedy this once I hook up some 'real' speakers to it eventually.All in all it's a great tv..slightly heavier than I expected it to be think it weighs in at 35lbs?. It's sleek thin picture is phenomenal. I have a 46 Samsung LN46A550 in the living room and I notice this one having a much bright picture than my sammy.
Return to Sender Try Again I posted this to Toshiba's website today but I'm posting it here for others to benefit from.Also I FORGOT ABOUT THE BRIGHTNESS PROBLEM I had encountered when writing the Toshiba review so I'll add it at the bottom.**************************Just got this set from Amazon about 3 weeks ago after laboriously weeding out others because of size/features. I'm returning it to Amazon today for a replacement. Thanks for great service AMAZON! I had fairly high expectations for the set even though I'd seen online reviews that said the sound was lousy. When I first turned the set on it was confirmed the SOUND actually WAS LOUSY. What a surprise! The lack of analog RCA audio output jacks is a pain but technology marches onward! With a purchased stereo adapter we got our version of 4ch simultaed stereo/quad.So we gave the set a run for it's money. Within a couple of weeks we found that the set randomly CYCLES ITSELF OFF for 1530 seconds and then turns itself back on again. This is NOT a result of accidentally hitting the SLEEP MODE button on the remote control as one might think.
Great bright picture Wifi and other functionality are good! Got this TV 3 weeks back after the intial learning curve TV working great.Picture 5 star great picture Bright and sharp give a sony a run for its moneyNet TV 4 star After the intial learning curve worked seamlessly after hooking up the wifi. Had to call Toshiba Customer service to learn how to use Net TV was not very intutive. They were paitent and gave good tips on using the NET TV functionality. Netflix is good however missing HuluplusCompatiblity Hooked ATT Uverse and Sony Blu ray HTS and TV worked perfectly fine with the Uverse remote.
