Quick review

The good: Superb contrast, high-def detail, great showcase screen for Blu-ray
The bad: Frustrating remote control and onscreen menus, cumbersome DLNA networking, disappointing upscaling, expensive
Verdict: Toshiba has created a Full HD marvel that uses its LED backlighting to create astonishingly deep blacks and rich colours for a LCD TV, but its £4,500 price tag proves it's downfall
Key specs: Analogue audio, Component, Composite, Ethernet, HDMI, Optical, Scart, SD, SDHC, USB, VGA

I think you'll find that a £1500 TV offers better value for money than any £4500 TV, even if it not only makes the tea but also washes the cups up afterwards. Posted by adrianaitken, United Kingdom
