Toshiba 50L5200U Review

 

The Toshiba 50L5200U makes an excellent solution as a wall-mounted, everyday watching TV and the price ain't too shabby, either.

Toshiba set out to provide a large, premium-quality picture backed with its recognized name in a TV with an accessible price tag. In that regard, the 50L5200U succeeds. However, a number of trade-offs were made in order to bring the price-point down...

Toshiba 50L5200U

Toshiba 50L5200U

The only con related with this TV is it makes all of my other sets look really crummy. After watching programs on this Toshiba, even the picture on my 32" LCD, whose picture I thought was top notch, pales by comparison

Best TV Ever!

 

I love this TV! I never knew a picture could be this clear. The picture is so clear it almost appears as if you can touch the actors. I only wish I had purchased a larger screen. The sound is excellent even without any additional surround sound...
