General Toshiba TV Opinions

I used to work in the industry and i've heard a lot of horror stories about electrical equipment exploding after a few weeks however there is little that I know to be true. One of the things I can say is true is the fault level of a particular manufacturers tvs. Obviously I can't mention the name but it's not Toshiba, basically 1 in every 5 sets has a fault within the first week. Now that is quite worrying! Tosh however have one of the best reputations for quality and reliablity in the industry!! The picture quality in my opinion is far superior to othe brand such as Sony and Hitachi and the sound (particularly with the Dolby Digital sets) ...  Read the complete review

The Toshiba 2987DB. This is a beast. No doubt about it. So, the TV I’ve got is a 29" non-widescreen, with the full trimmings of Dolby Surround Sound, and a Toshiba VCR to boot. The whole kaboodle comes as a single unit, with the tv sitting atop a sturdy charcoal colored stand which has shelves underneath for the VCR and two other things, such as a sky box and a playstation. The whole thing as a unit looks impressive in its own right. It has that kind of urban techie aura to it but with a bit more beef, this thing really stands tall and proud. Of course, you could lock the TV away in a nice wooden cabinet or something, but I ...  Read the complete review

I've been looking to replace my tv for awhile and after looking around settled for this (especially after having read write ups in trade mags.). I actually decided to look around and find out the best buy. It is surprising how much difference there is in price for this machine ranging from some £2500 in some well known high street stores to £1850 from some shops in mags and on the internet. I suggest you do as I did. First check out the machine specs etc on Toshiba site (www.toshiba.com or co.uk) in fact get them to send you glossy brochure. Next go to local electrical stores and look interested (it's surprising how little they know and they'll ...  Read the complete review

Buy one, be moved. This is beginning to sound like the Mazda ad. The Toshiba 2950XMJ, Dramatic V, 28 system television that I bought four years ago, was probably my most useful purchase. I paid around PDS 400.00 for it at that time and it was later on that I found out that my friends had been splashing 50% and even more on other brands like Sony and Sharp, at the same time that I bought mine. When you think Televisions then Toshiba is not one that comes to mind. Maybe they don’t advertise as much as the other producers but believe you me I would rank them at least amongst the top three. Firstly you have to look at the price. They ...  Read the complete review

I recently had to(wated to!) buy a new wide screen TV with about a budget of 450 notes. I popped off down to my local TV dealer, Comet and browsed the web and found that the makes that where in my price range and that I would be happy with were - Toshiba, Sharp, Samsung, Goodmans and Hitachi. They all had nice but limited features so this wasn't really an issue - it all came down to picture quality - the Goodmans was an instant no no as the picture was fuzzy and the colours not very nice! After hours of looking and asking I had it down to the Sharp, Hitachi or Toshiba - then Sharp and Tosh. The picture quality on the Tosh was excellent for the price and ...  Read the complete review
