Advantages: Picture, Sound, Size, Experience of new TV
Disadvantages: Buttons at the side ae not labelled!

...We bought this 37" LCD TV, which is HD ready from Dixons.co.uk. We already knew that Dixons high street stores were good. At this point, the high street stores had shut down, and was only available online. We decided to give Dixons.co.uk a shot, as we thought that they would be just as good. We ordered it from the products page on the website and the website told us that the TV would be with us within 14 days, without fail.This turned out to disapoint, as after weeks of phone calls, staff hanging up, and rude staff, we finally got our TV 2 months later. The cost of the TV was £700 at the time of buying. But I am not here to talk about where I bought it from, I am going to tell you about the TV itself and how much fun you will have using it. In the box came loads and loads of polystyrene, fun if your a kid, but we didn't think... Read review

Advantages: Good sturdy HDTV ready LCD TV. 2 HDMI slots
Disadvantages: Similar TV's are coming rapidly down in price - hold back before buying

...We needed a new TV. The old one had finally given up the ghost and was on its way back to the land of scrap. The purple haze in one corner had become something of a quirky trait to the X-Factor but it was annoying none-the-less. So we scoured the internet and found some good prices for LCD TV's. Hubby rather likes his XBox so we knew a plasma wouldn't do. But it was time to invest - and heavily invest we did. Our final choice was a Toshiba 37WLT66. A HD ready LCD TV with the all important integrated freeview digital tuner. Now we have Sky, but with all the warnings about the switch to digital only TV coming, it is worth knowing that your cash has got you something that will still work should you fall out with the providers of everything worth watching. The Freeview Digital Tuner means you get all those freeview channels... Read review

Advantages: Quality overall piece. Very worthy of it's price tag
Disadvantages: They don't have the name of Sony

...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 wouldn't want to hide it away I'm proud of my huge ominous box looming in the corner. Of course, a powerful design is all well and good, but it would be handy if I told you about the wonders that lie beneath. The TV... Read review

Advantages: Slimline, lightweight, reliable
Disadvantages: Remote control is slow to respond

...can push them against a wall and hey presto, a whole new area of worktop space. So, despite my old analogue working perfectly, it was time to consign it to the pavement outside. I never need worry about it being collected by the bin men. It'll be long gone before then. We can guarantee one of the locals, who regularly scour the streets for unwanted electrical items, will rescue it. Before too long, it'll re-appear down at the local market where someone will make a small profit. After a bit of research, I decided to go for the Toshiba 15" 4:3, LCD, Integrated Digital TV with Freeview. Pricewise, it seemed to be very competitive and its performance was highly rated. I'm very loyal to Toshiba anyway, especially when it comes to televisions and DVD players. I've always found them to be a very trustworthy brand, with few, if any... Read review

Advantages: flat lcd screen, good sound, mounts on wall.
Disadvantages: motion blur watching fast moving objects

...of a player or the ball you get a ghosting or motion blur, this is because the TV only has a 25ms response time. LCD tv's are best under 15ms, but how often would you watch sport on a 14" TV. Teletext is easy to use with the remote which includes fasttext. Another television from Toshiba that they can be proud of, looks good easy to use and fantastic to watch. Thanks for reading...

Advantages: It's silver
Disadvantages: everything

...I bought this tv as a second tv for my bedroom, I was going to buy a portable but my friends pursaded me to get a bigger tv. I looked at various manufactureres and prices of tv's and finally went for this one, it looked good and the product specs also seemed great, coupled with it being a well known brand. So went ahead and purchased it. I didn't purchase an extended warranty as I think usually they are money for old rope. How wrong could I be. Thirteen months later the tv standby button blew up, and I mean literally blew up. I changed both the internal and external fuses and nothing, dead as a dodo. So I contacted Toshiba to see if this was perhaps a known product fault and to ask for advice...... what I got was a complete denial of any such problem and a no for tosh authorised repairers....... Me being me wouldn't just let... Read review

Advantages: Reasonable price, uncomplicated, looks good
Disadvantages: On-off button is a bit fiddly

...I recently replaced my 21-year-old television with a new Toshiba. I discovered that television sets have moved on considerably since 1980 and choosing a new television meant embarking on a fairly steep learning curve. I navigated my way through the bewildering maze of new technology, puzzled over the meaning of flat and wide screens and the science of the analogue and digital -and - what on earth was Nicam stereo and scart sockets? Alongside the enormous variations in size and technology of televisions was the price. I was amazed to discover that some televisions cost up to an incredible £8,000. I could buy a new car for that sort of money and have some change for the petrol. After much deliberation I eventually settled on my Toshiba 21inch tellie. The cost was quite reasonable at £219.00 from Cole Brothers in Sheffield... Read review

Advantages: Great sound quality and enormous clear picture.
Disadvantages: Weak cabinet design

...The popularity of both wide screen and large screen TVs seems to be on the increase yet again, and even in my case it's a priority to acquire one. I have recently been looking around to see whats on offer at a price worthy of the product. So far I have only found two models that seem to have it all with the exception of a couple of drawbacks. Both TVs that have got my attention are from the Toshiba range, and this op is about the 37 inch surround sound model. Firstly, The drawbacks. The actual cabinet that surrounds the workings is only available in a standard dark silvery grey colour which unfortunately shows up any scratches or knocks quickly, also there are 2 drop down covers that hide various controls that I think are far below the strength required for any real last ability. Little covers may seem like unimportant features... Read review

Advantages: Huge Screen, Price
Disadvantages: Can only be viewed from certain angles

...After deciding my poxy 20 inch tv was too small for the living room I went shopping for a replacement. I visited my local Dixons and spent half an hour looking at the various sets they had on offer. The massive projection TVs caught my eye and I immediately fell in love with the 42” Toshiba. It looked superior to the other projection sets there and was an absolute bargain. I paid £899 for mine but recently have found it selling for £849. It is fantastic value for money, where else are you going to get 42 inches for less then £850? I thought about buying the equivalent plasma set, but at more then three times the price I decided to go for the projection. It was delivered 3 days later and was that big I couldn’t get it out of the box without cutting down the side of it. It took all of 2 minutes to set it up and away we went... Read review

Advantages: Multi Region, Good picture, slim, durable
Disadvantages: No Scart, not a recorder

...has been awarded five stars from the magazine itself. I'd initially like to focus on the build of the Toshiba SD340E. The Toshiba SD340E is well packaged and in the box, enclosed is the DVD player itself, manual, remote and power lead. There is one fundamental piece missing from the box, a scart lead. The scart lead is the wire that connects the DVD player to the television for optimum performance. It is widely accepted that most DVD players do not contain a scart lead, so while this is a criticism of the Toshiba SD340E, competitors suffer from the same criticism. The design and build of the Toshiba is fantastic. The Toshiba SD340E is a product offered at a good price, but at the same time it is built to last. The product feels very strong and will be durable. One of the main attractions for me of the Toshiba SD340E. Although Im sure you... Read review
