Wanted a smaller TV to replace a 65 inch Samsung Smart HDTV, so looked online for something around 50 inches. Happened onto this Toshiba via Best Buy, which was on sale for $279 at the time.
Ordered it sight unseen, found it remarkably easy to unpack and set it up by myself!
(Arrived in good condition, with all necessary items and very clear, written instructions.)
Superbly sharp picture with good balance and definition.
The sound is also good on most channels, though (as others have mentioned) somewhat dull when the audio is lacking via the source of broadcast, such as some of the lesser channels.
I have a Bose adjunct to compensate at those times, which was purchased years ago, with the Samsung Smart TV . . .
(The $2000 Samsung sound wasn't any better quality)
Have read that the speakers in these ultra flat panel televisions are just not as powerful as those in the older models with more cabinetry? !
Friends and family who watched the Samsung here previously are now surprised by the quality of the 50 inch Toshiba; it actually recommends itself perfectly!
VERY pleased with this 50 inch Toshiba TV, as well as the free delivery provided from Best Buy~~!!

I purchased the Toshiba - 50" Class (49.5" Diag.) - LED - 1080p - HDTV - Black, online. I was a bit hesitant regarding the shipping etc. It was shipped carefully and delivered quickly. The set up was so easy, even I could do it. The quality and price were awesome. I love it and will buy again soon. Beautiful picture on this screen, too.

I guess i have the worst luck, i raved about Toshiba HDTV's my family bought 3. Now less than 2 years of owning my 50L420U it developed this defect in the screen. The TV has a great pic and sound that's why the 5 stars until now. I hope BB or Toshiba will show me some courtesy and help me resolve this, i'm bummed.

Set up was easy and straight forward, attach the legs and plug in the HDMI and power. Can't get any easier than that. I didn't feel the need to tweek any settings and the picture looks perfect. Sound is very good and plenty of volume. Wally from Comcast found this TV and set up the remote to control TV volume and mute. Happy I choose another Toshiba.

This is not going to be the greatest TV out there, but for the price it is hard to beat. I originally bought this for our home office, but have since moved it into our bedroom and it has been a wonderful TV for both places.

This TV is a nice size, has great picture, and great sound despite what I had seen on other reviews. However, I had no idea that the only way to control the volume is through the remote! Period! Of course my son lost the remote on day two of unboxing the tv. Lol.

Wanted to upgrade from my 32" Samsung in my bedroom after I bought a PS4 and was looking at the 40-43" range because I wanted to spend less than $300. I was about to buy a 40" Sharp for 229.99 but found this on sale for 279.99 and thought the extra 10" was worth the $50.00 difference. So far I am pleased with my purchase. In terms of visual quality it's definitely not the best, but it is really solid. I'd say an 8 out of 10. If you're not going to get a 4K tv, I don't see a point in spending a lot on a 1080p, so this is pretty much perfect. And for those worried about smart tv capabilities, a simple chromecast can fix that for you.

This Toshiba 50" is excellent for under $300, replaced a Samsung Plasma 50" 720p. Great picture good sound even better with a sound bar that plugs right into the side jack. Only draw back it does not show time on screen or full days programming of whats on. Hooked up to over the air antenna. Scanned channels got them all the first time, The fact that it is not a smart TV is what sold me. Got my ROKU connected tuned to Netflix and man what clarity of these movies compared to 720p. Had a Toshiba back in the tube days out lasted all others by far.You cannot beat this deal.!!

Cannot beat a smart tv under $300 with a 55 inch screen. Easy set up, cromecast works great. Has a tuner so both cable and antenna work unlike some more expensive models. Remote is nothing to brag about otherwise would have gotten 5 stars. No number keys so you have to cycle through all the channels to get the one you want. Solved that problem by using remote from my 50 inch that I only use to turn it on and off and use a Roku for internet. Would recommend it, great picture and sound can be used using a lower setting and still hear just fine.

Impressed. I bought this to replace one in the bedroom (super sale $270.00). Looks great. Sound is very nice. Much improved over the 32" Samsung that I had. I was NOT looking for a SMART TV and for the price, this one is perfect. No cons to mention.

Lighter than my 2007 40" HD TV, also Toshiba. Easy to set up, and never even needed to use the remote supplied. This 50" HD TV is crystal clear and it is at a great price. Don't need WiFi and it is outstanding!

I got it on sale and it is the lowest price for the 50 inches TV at the time. No big expectations. It does what it's suppose to do. Picture is decent. Set up is easy enough. Have not find anything wrong with the unit yet. So over all it is a good value.

I was looking for a television to replace my old projection set and the Toshiba 50 inch LED fit the bill perfectly. Remote is easy to use and the picture rivals much more expensive televisions. For the $299.00 sale price was a no brainer. Have had this tv for a month now and I am very pleased with it. Would highly recommend this tv for someone that just wants a good tv and don't need all the frills.
