Toshiba 40RL953

 

Toshiba's latest 40in TV is a solid but flawed budget option.

Excellent design ; Aggressive price ; Fair picture quality

Not enough online content ; Tuner pictures - especially standard def ones - lack sharpness ; Clumsy remote control

Not user friendly and limited function. Compared with the Samsung it falls far behind. Item also advertise as LED but actually is LCD. Item returned and Samsung purchased in its place.
