Toshiba 40BV700 > Reviews (2)

I bought one of these for my partner and we have been happy all together with it as a unit. We used to have a 32AV713 which was a nice unit, but we wanted to upgrade to a newer one. This unit looks very smart and sleek either on the accompanying stand or on a separate wall mount. As with every Toshiba I have installed it is very easy, and the menus are very easy to navigate. The remote has an excellent layout and the buttons are self explanatory. The built in Freeview is very easy to use through the Electronic Program Guide, I especially like the feature that you can view up to 7 days of television very quickly. There are four HDMI connections which makes the unit ideal for a family with games consoles, blue ray DVD players, whilst leaving the two SCART connections free for VHS players. The USB feature is very useful for playing music, and pictures. With this model there isn't any compatibility for video files via USB. The screen is very good for using with a laptop or home PC via the VGA port which the unit has. The 1080 resolution means that a Freeview HD box is really done justice on the clear, crisp screen. The sound is as good as can be expected for a television of the size, although I would recommend using an external sound system, especially if watching Blu Ray or playing XBOX 360/PS3. Overall this is a very nice well manufactured unit, and I would definitely recommend putting it on a wall bracket if in a family home.
