Customer Ratings & Reviews

Our old Toshiba TV 50" (lasted 10 years and was not a Smart TV) started to have brightness issues with one of the main LED panels. Found this as a replacement and when comparing the price and the specs to other options, this was what I felt was the best deal to replace our other TV. So far it's been a sound upgrade. No issues with watching TV or playing games (PS5). We did need to order a new mounting screw set to convert this TV to what we were previously using with our older Toshiba model.

This TV is excellent in both picture quality and sound. No need for sound bar unless you want surround sound. I have purchased an LG and Samsung which only lasted 2 years respectively. Neither had the picture and sound quality of the Toshiba. I highly recommend this TV.

It works and looks great, especially with 4K. Streaming is good. Plenty of imputs. Optical output for audio. Voice remote. Stand is a little different but metal and sturdy

Great picture quality and sound. Replaced Samsung 50” that was showing those bad large white circles. This TV is perfect for our needs. Everything looks sharp and natural.

If this Toshiba unit lasts as long as the 46” Toshiba I bought 14 years ago, I’ll be one very satisfied customer. I only bought a new TV because my old 46”one was just beginning to show its age. As you can see from the photo, It still had a good picture. I just wanted one a bit bigger, smarter and 4K.

Choose the Toshiba - 55" Class M550 Series QLED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV if better picture technology is more important to you. Its QLED panel, Full Array Local Dimming, and 120Hz native refresh rate provide superior contrast, more vibrant colors, and smoother motion for gaming and sports, features typically found in higher-priced TVs. The Toshiba also has a superior built-in sound system with a subwoofer.

Set up fairly easy. Great TV. Both picture and sound are very good. Remote pretty basic and would be better with more functions.

Very nice tv everything on my tv looks perfect I recommend to buy at Best Buy

Excellent tv, picture and sound are excellent for the price.

I like the color and high deph the sound is good clear piture 4k realistic in mo ies and shows i watch

Great TV, very bright and easy to use. In this price range its one of the best TVs you can get. The sound is good, I use it to play video games on PS5. The legs that come with the TV are solid metal so it is sturdy.

Got on sale. It was a good value for the price. I do not believe it compares well to OLED tvs, but it is less than 1/2 the price. Much better than my old "dumb" 1080p TV.

Toshiba has always been long lasting I have watched tv since 1966 This TV has great color, sound and ease of use. I can find anything anytime. Also quick set up!

The picture is good and the installation is easy. The value-to-cost is very good on this television. However, this required a factory-reset right out of the box because the default settings would not play audio from any of the plugged in HDMI sources without the factory reset and nearly a dozen software update installations. The motion smoothing/"soap-opera" mode is an absolute nuisance to try to find and turn off in order to make action movies watchable. And all of these updates and setting changes have to be accomplished with a significant lag between the controller input and response on the tv. I am sure that this is fantastic for live sports (not my preferred pastime) and I do not regret buying it. But you should be prepared for a lengthy negotiation through software and lag to turn it into your daily media device.

I chose this for the advertized full array local dimming. This was the only option that offered it below 250usd. Blacks are certainly better than comparable non FALD TVs. The sound is also above average. As for the fire tv, it is what it is. TV feels sluggish sometimes and you may feel lack of options if you are coming from a google tv. Overall very colorful, contrasty, clean image. Good sound for the money. Sub 250 this is the best option I found.

Excellent, v. Great picture quality, highly recommended to anybody purchasing a new television. Some of the reviews are lying.It does great upscaling with old television shows like Seinfeld look great

I think the colors and contrast looks great but the processor and the os is slow as dirt never liked firetv so i use googletv and roku with it. dont use the firetv much because of it bring up apps so slow and kinda hanging from time to time.

Clear picture, easy to set up & use. Great value!!

I purchased this TV based on my personal history with Toshiba TVs. From my perspective, Toshiba has always made TVs that punch above their weight class in terms of picture quality. This is my first smart Toshiba TV though, and I will be sadly returning it. I will start by saying that after some adjustments, the picture quality is great. I found that the "PC" preset provided the best picture for my tastes and environment. There's a lot of additional picture quality settings to tweak if desired as well. I always turn of the dynamic features and motion control. local dimming is a nice feature for a TV of this price. Sound is good too with a built-in subwoofer. The picture quality and sound are the only good things about this TV. The software in the TV is less than stellar for everything else though. first off it is pretty slow to respond when pulling up the input menu. It also does not allow for manual wireless network configuration (IP, gateway, etc.). It is running the Amazon Vega OS so you can't use developer options either if you wanted to integrate into a home automation platform. My absolute biggest gripe is that I can't reliably use a universal remote with this device. I use my Xbox One as the media center for my TV, and have always been able to control TV power with my Xbox using the IR blaster on the Xbox. First of all, the TV is manufactured by Hisense and rebranded as Toshiba, so I had to use a Hisense remote code for any interaction at all. I didn't find a Toshiba code that worked. When on, remote functions as expected but if TV is powered off for an extended period of time you apparently can't use IR to wake the TV. So you have to use the provided remote for the sole purpose of turning the TV on. I don't want to keep two remotes. Toshiba phone support was less than helpful, saying they don't support universal remotes. So yeah, if you want this TV for the Amazon account integration and do not plan to use any universal remotes or home assistant with it. I'd say it represents a decent value for the price (at $249). I wouldn't pay much more for it though, and it doesn't work for me.

TV was easy to set up and performs well. I like the size and the brightness of the unit.
