Was looking at one of these in a shop & saw that the screen is very non-reflective (matte?) but still had good contrast & tonal range, esp compared to others in the same price range. In fact it seemed much better than any other non-reflective screen & looked good from angles. Think I may well opt for this one.
I laid it face down on my double bed with the bottom slightly overhanging and attached the stand first time with no problems. Would have been a pain attaching it the right way up with two people moving independently from one another as suggested in the video.
Amazon are offering this with either LED or QLED for a bit more, would it be better to buy the QLED? I'm not sure what difference it would bring but for £70 more would it be worth it? Many thanks
This was really helpful. I’ve been comparing this with various models for a fortnight, but your video has convinced me to take advantage of today’s Prime offer (11/07/23). Thank you for such a clear, succinct and informative review.
I would love to review more under £500 TVs brother but the budget doesn’t allow I am afraid. Hopefully soon I will get the opportunity to do more reviews of TVs within that price range.
I have a Sony £1800 TV 2023 and Toshiba my previous TV and to be honest i didn't notice any different i should of stayed with this TV for a few more years
Some things to be aware of.... 1. 350 Nits does not an HDR TV make, even in a darkened room 2. You cannot switch off HDR on this set unless you use an external device that has that capability (NVidia Shield, Amazon Firestick 4K etc). So the built in fire tv stuff will be useless to you if you want SDR instead of HDR where it's offered. 3. The power cord is junk. It's a figure of 8 lead that just wants to fall straight back out of the socket. 4. A lot of the 4k content on youtube is shot at 60fps. This TV is 50Hz. 5. The settings restore themselves! Yes, you thought you'd switched off sharpening? Hah! Not for long... 6. The box it comes in is unlike other big tv boxes. It DOES NOT just lift off giving access... 7. You cannot alter the picture settings of a source that is inactive. 8. There is NO INPUT selection on the remote. This WILL drive you nuts.
I would recommend putting the tele face flat on something soft like a bed or a couch and then put the stand on that way that's how I done it without needing 3 people 😂😂
Thank you for reviewing this TV - this is one of only two reviews for this TV I could find. I bought the 43” model and am really impressed with it. Also, I don’t understand people complaining about the UI being laggy - I have an LG OLED TV and it’s about the same speed opening apps, and I think the Toshiba might actually be faster. The picture quality for the price is amazing, I think. Once you put the picture mode into “Film” it’s great.
You’re welcome for the kind words. Everything has to be considered and as this cost significantly less than any other 65” there are certain compromises that will need to be made. Factoring in everything I think this is a great TV for the price. 4K content looks sharp and clear, although I’ve noticed not all 1080p content look great especially on Amazon Prime. In terms of UI it’s perfectly usable however if people have experience with better OS then they might might some of the aspects a bit sluggish.
Great video, I was thinking about getting this tv as ive returned 2 lg tvs due to ghosting after trail on objects in certain scenes and games with certain lighting so I just wanted to see how this tv is with ghosting and after image trailing as I would hate to get this tv and have to return it due to ghosting trail like the 2 previous ones 👍🏻 btw the lg tvs models that had to be returned due to this are the 43uq75006lf and the 43uq8000lb
Hy just bouth this tv having trouble adjusting picture setings and specially watching amazon prime or netflix don't know what yo do the menu doesn't give many options any help it's app thank you
When you're watching something hold down the home button,go down to picture setting and you will be able to change pretty much everything,I recommend turning the sharpness down,motion processing off and noise reduction off,hope this helps
Anyone else had issues with connecting consoles? Weve tried different HDMI leads specifically for 4k tvs and its still not showing up a PS5 or a switch
I have just bought this tv but the 55inch same model and the hdmi wont connect my ps5 tried hdmi 123 and no luck and i carnt get my tv channels to work they are ther but the screen goes black when clicking on any channel really hard tv to use
Hey I just got this tv and am having issue with setting the picture.I can’t change the picture.I can change it for any connected HDMI connected to my tv but for the main screen the picture still isn’t how I want it .
Wouldn't it be easier to fit the bracket to the tv and then the stand? Just got one delivered half price on Amazon, thanks for the review and helping me make up my mind 👍
Pleaseee help ive got this but every thing looks so relastic and its like the heads are dead big and popping out the screen i dont aant it to feel so 3d how dya get it off x its like the main thing for example the person stands out so much and the back ground goes blurry so they stand out even more
Thanks for the review, can you confirm if the headset audio output socket is used does this cut off the TV's internal speakers? And if so then does the output vary when using the remote control Vol+ & Vol- controls
Hello, I have just bought a Toshiba 43" which has the same stand as yours but I have difficulties in changing channels and feel that the front of the stand interfers with the connection between the light and the remote control or maybe its the remote not working properly? Your reply would be appreciated. Thank you.
I was looking at another Toshiba model, C350 65 inch and they said they could not find settings for motion so it may have the soap opera effect. Do you know if this tv suffers from this as well?
Hi Kal, i am looking into acquiring this tv and planning to have it upstairs bedroom will it connect to wifi as im getting an wifi extender aswell i take it connected to an standard indoor ariel it will download or search freeview channels
I am a casual gamer and occasionally use the PS5 on this TV. The quality is good however please be warned this TV does not support 2.1HDMI even though all retailers state it does. The refresh rate is limited to 60Hz
I have this TV and honestly the base settings are pretty good. I'd turn off any post processing. Set your backlight to 100. Knock the colour down to around 60 and turn the sharpness down to about 5.
There is no dedicated button for input switching on the remote unfortunately. You can long press on the home button and it brings up a shortcut to change inputs.
Can this TV actually support gaming in 4k ? Because I have this TV (43inch version ) and my Xbox series s keeps telling me the TV does not support 4k or HDR
This is listed as hdmi 2.1 everywhere its for sale. I have even asked several representatives from different outlets. How can this be hdmi 2.1 but doesnt do 120hz for ps5 . Makes no sense
Under £400 on very now plus £30 money back once dispatched. Only thing i dont like, is no RUclips button on control fir quicker access. Great video btw mate.
Thanks for the tip about the threaded screws, wouldn't have known otherwise. I found the stand quite easy to put on, the back of the TV almost has a slot that you need to put the stand part in, like putting a battery in a phone kind of thing, when it's in and aligned the screws go in pretty easily. I bought the 65 inch, now have to work out how to lift it into position on my own without touching the screen 😅
You’re welcome, I found it quite hard putting the bracket on but once on it’s a sturdy stand. I would definitely recommend a helping hand you don’t want any mishaps lol.

That’s the best way to do it, I usually have the knack for making stuff look harder than it is. 🙃
Amazing video, thanks for the setup and explanation looks like a great budget TV
Thank you, great TV indeed and will suit the majority of consumers.
Very helpful - thanks mate!
You're welcome
Thanks Khaled, very helpful review 👍
You’re most welcome my friend

Hope you enjoy your new purchase 😊
i wish this guy would make more videos - one of the best reviewers out there
This is such a wholesome comment, thank you very much. Will be uploading frequently very soon. Keep an eye out 😁
Just got the 55" i was gutted with other reviewers constantly comparing to £1000 tvs until i saw your review ta pal
Fantastic, and you’re most welcome. For the price you can’t fault it much.
My neighbour has same TV sound is amazing
Amazon are offering this with either LED or QLED for a bit more, would it be better to buy the QLED? I'm not sure what difference it would bring but for £70 more would it be worth it? Many thanks
Personally I would go for the QLED panel.
This was really helpful. I’ve been comparing this with various models for a fortnight, but your video has convinced me to take advantage of today’s Prime offer (11/07/23). Thank you for such a clear, succinct and informative review.
You’re welcome, glad the video could be of use. Hope you enjoy your new purchase.

What? And how do i Chance the inputsignal, when i want to Chance from gaming, to normal tv etc? 😮
You have to change through the TV menu system
Great video. Can’t believe how much value for money this is for a 65”
Thank you, great value for money!
You get what you pay for. Nothing on it's Samsung equivalent.
I would recommend putting the tele face flat on something soft like a bed or a couch and then put the stand on that way that's how I done it without needing 3 people 😂😂
You my friend are 100% right, but then there would be no theatrics 👀
Toshiba 65QF5D53DB is this one?
Does this have physical buttons on the TV itself like power button and input?
I just got this tv lovely picture but for some reason it won’t scan for normal channels I tryed everything can any one help me please

Hi I've just brought this tv and I'm having trouble connecting my xbox to it it won't let me select and of the HDMI inputs

Hey I just got this tv and am having issue with setting the picture.I can’t change the picture.I can change it for any connected HDMI connected to my tv but for the main screen the picture still isn’t how I want it .
Hello, Can you go into further details, do you mean not getting the picture quality as to how you want it? Such as brightness and contrast etc.
Wouldn't it be easier to fit the bracket to the tv and then the stand? Just got one delivered half price on Amazon, thanks for the review and helping me make up my mind 👍
3 people ? Just lay it down on 2 couch cushions lol
You’ve got a point, but 3 people sounds more dramatic lol
Do you haft to go to display and audio to pick what hdmi channel u want to use iv been trying using input but doesint work
I can't get my ps5 to switch over can anybody help
How do I connect my firestick on this tv Caz I think the sockets for HDMI

What are you viewing on the TV, are you streaming, or have a Sky box? Can you let me know what source you’re using.
Amazing video but I’m confused cause I’m trying to use the audio but it says to turn on built-in tv speakers , any idea where that is lol
Thank you very much, how you increased the volume? It may be on mute.
Thanks for the review, can you confirm if the headset audio output socket is used does this cut off the TV's internal speakers? And if so then does the output vary when using the remote control Vol+ & Vol- controls
Very stylish video. Enjoyed the intro hugely. Thanks.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed the video my friend.
Does the TV mirror android?
yeah it has screen mirror but it also has airplay
Bought this new and already has shadowing
Does anyone know the optimal picture settings for this tv?
I recommend turning off motion processing,and noise reduction,also turn the sharpness down
Has any one managed to wall mount this tv
Hello, I have just bought a Toshiba 43" which has the same stand as yours but I have difficulties in changing channels and feel that the front of the stand interfers with the connection between the light and the remote control or maybe its the remote not working properly?
Your reply would be appreciated. Thank you.
My TV doesn’t have this problem however after a few months of use I did need to replace the remote control.
Worthless
Why?
An E rating isn't bad?
I was looking at another Toshiba model, C350 65 inch and they said they could not find settings for motion so it may have the soap opera effect. Do you know if this tv suffers from this as well?
Not that I have noticed.
Hi. I bought this TV yesterday after watching your video on RUclips. I have a question: can any web browser be installed on it? Cheers 😊
From my understanding it’s just Amazon Silk and Firefox.
Hi Kal, i am looking into acquiring this tv and planning to have it upstairs bedroom will it connect to wifi as im getting an wifi extender aswell i take it connected to an standard indoor ariel it will download or search freeview channels
Hi, yes it will connect to WiFi fine.
what is this like for PS5 use? I have read online some comments it is not great for next gen consoles as it wont go past 60Hz and only plays at 1080p
I am a casual gamer and occasionally use the PS5 on this TV. The quality is good however please be warned this TV does not support 2.1HDMI even though all retailers state it does. The refresh rate is limited to 60Hz
I just bought this tv
I dont have prime amazon
Do i need it
You can still use it as a conventional TV but will miss out on the smart tv aspect
Thanks it doesn't let me cast a video from my phone does anyone else have this issue it also switches off in 5 mins if I pause tv to go do something
I have an Amazon account but no "Prime" subscription and there is PLENTY of free Amazon FireTV content available.
Hi do you have a guide for perfect picture and audio settings for this tv just purchase this for me mom birthday thank you
I have this TV and honestly the base settings are pretty good. I'd turn off any post processing. Set your backlight to 100. Knock the colour down to around 60 and turn the sharpness down to about 5.
does the firestick side of things work the same as a normal firestick , can you get downloader on it and get iptv ect?
Yes you can.
Can you use this tv without an
Amazon account🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Yes you can but won’t get FireTV features
This tv is absolute garbage my little 1080p tv better
Why?
Does the fire os feature have the downloader similar to the firestick?
Great review too mate, thanks
Pete
Thank you Pete, yes you can get downloader on it.
Does this TV have a motion smoothing feature like most other Toshiba tvs?
yes
Hdmi 2.0 compliant you said? I thought these were hdmi 2.1?
This TV cannot output 120hz content.
Can you change input using the remote or do you have to go via the Home Screen every time?
There is no dedicated button for input switching on the remote unfortunately.
You can long press on the home button and it brings up a shortcut to change inputs.
Can you speak to the TV to change the input with voice control?
@@offbeatwarbleYes, if you have "Alexa."
Can this TV actually support gaming in 4k ? Because I have this TV (43inch version ) and my Xbox series s keeps telling me the TV does not support 4k or HDR
My brother has my PS5 at the moment, I will check once I get it back.
you might not be using a sufficient hdmi cable
i play ps5 on this tv, it’s definitely 4k hdr, overwatch with hdr switched on in the settings is insane
This is listed as hdmi 2.1 everywhere its for sale. I have even asked several representatives from different outlets. How can this be hdmi 2.1 but doesnt do 120hz for ps5 . Makes no sense
This TV does not support HDMI 2.1 as the max refresh rate is 60hz. This needs to be rectified as it’s misleading.
it's 2.1 for soundbars Earc
Does this TV has a inbuilt cromecast and airplay?
No Chromecast built in
Hi,how to connect satellite coaxial cable and how to scan them
Hello, I will let you know over the weekend
Is this tv 60hz
Yes it’s only 60hz, the adverts and descriptions on shopping sites are misleading.
Thanks for the reply
Can you mirror screen with iPhone on this tv
Yes you can
how to connect satellite dish with tv please ?
You need to have a cable box, either Sky or Virgin if in the UK.
Thank you much appreciated
You’re welcome
Thanks for this. Just cancelled my Samsung order and bought this instead. Used the extra money to get a PS5. Awesome video
You’re welcome, how are you finding the TV so far?
I was gonna do the same thing to save money thanks for this video
You’re welcome
That's fine as long as you don't want it for OTA channels...Samsung has a FAR superior tuner!
Hi does this tv have apple airplay?
Hi Nabeel, yes it does.
Can i do the same as android tv ?
You should be able to get most of the apps, but Android TV is usually more sophisticated.
Can this tv be wall mounted
3:01
Would not buy a DLED💩💩
What's that exactly compared to regular led
@@SRC267the lights in the panel are spread evenly rather than around the edges, better not worse than led
Hows a ps5 run on this?
It runs pretty well.
My ps5 looks terrible on it its all pixilated do you have any tips i picked this tv up last weekend
Check the display output settings on the PS5, also try changing the HDMI cable
@@KhaledsTech its the hdmi cable that came with the ps5 though did you change any settings on your ps5 am not even joking it is so bad
So update the only way i can get a clear picture on ps5 with this tv is to change it to 1080p madness
Sorry for the late reply, I am currently abroad. I will have a play around, I will double check my settings.
@@KhaledsTech ok thank you very much really appreciate that its doing my nut in lol
Under £400 on very now plus £30 money back once dispatched.
Only thing i dont like, is no RUclips button on control fir quicker access.
Great video btw mate.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks for the tip about the threaded screws, wouldn't have known otherwise. I found the stand quite easy to put on, the back of the TV almost has a slot that you need to put the stand part in, like putting a battery in a phone kind of thing, when it's in and aligned the screws go in pretty easily. I bought the 65 inch, now have to work out how to lift it into position on my own without touching the screen 😅
You’re welcome, I found it quite hard putting the bracket on but once on it’s a sturdy stand. I would definitely recommend a helping hand you don’t want any mishaps lol.
what button is the source button to change to different HDMI to watch different device your DVD player or sky box ?
You have to do it through the menu interface, no dedicated button as such.
Got it sorted 👍 Thanks for quick reply
