A Cost Efficient Upgrade

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.

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.

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

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.

For the price this is a great TV. Viewing content such as YouTube videos and movies is a great experience. Picture is bright and vivid. HDR content is pretty good as well. Haven’t gamed on it as I bought it for the living room so can’t address gaming performance in this review. The speakers are very good for TV speakers but you’ll obviously want a soundbar for solid bass and better sound for movies. If you’re looking for a step above the cheapest TV option this is a good choice!

Shockingly good picture for the price when broadcasting an HD source after some adjustments. Pronounced "soap opera" effect with default settings. Upscaling is where you see the manufacturer cut corners - it's not good.

This TV has some issues

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I purchased this TV three months ago. Since then every few weeks when I watch something on YouTube TV, YouTube, Netflix or any other streaming app, I get a loud continuous hum in the sound. The only way to fix this is to do a restart on the TV. I've had to do this three times now. Very annoying !
The second complaint is navigating through different apps using the remote is slow and sluggish. It's especially annoying when watching YouTube TV and navigating to different channels - response is slow and sluggish.
Anyone else having these issues ?
Something told we to buy a Samsung LG or Sony TV, but I wanted to save some money - but now kind of regret my choice. On a positive note, though, the TV picture quality is pretty good.

Annoying issue of closing out Hulu app

The picture quality is fantastic, but It is constantly closing out the hulu app where I have to restart it several times per day. I have been on the phone with hulu every day trying to resolve the issue for the first ten days of owning it. I have even been on the phone with hulu and my internet service at the same time trying to resolve this issue. I have always strived to have firetv through Toshiba and Insignia. I own four other TV which are working fine. With this TV, I have no other issues as far as Disney, Netflix. It is only on Hulu, which is my main viewing service. I have done all resets and uninstall with no sign of resolving the problem. I will be returning this set.

I have to say this is a great purchase. As a Family we’ve always had the Toshiba TV brand in our homes. And great for the price and the performance. I decided for purchase in my new home if this model because I am also a gamer with a Xbox series X and the faster speeds for gaming I found important as well as the 4K. Is great for gaming and streaming and watching 4K movies. And is very easy to setup and use out if the box. I have no complaints I would say yes buy it and enjoy!!

Solid Budget 4K TV, But With Some Drawbacks

The Toshiba 55" M550 QLED TV is a value for the price — sharp 4K picture, good brightness, and Dolby Vision support. However, the experience is held back by a sluggish and limited Fire OS, underwhelming color accuracy, very few calibration options, and outdated USB 2.0 ports.

Toshiba Implementation of FireTV OS is flawed

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I am a fan of the FireTV platform, using Fire Sticks, Fire Cubes and TV's with the FireTV operating system. Unfortunately, Toshiba's implementation on this TV is flawed. It fails to screen mirror most of the time, s and I get kicked out of apps when I am watching something, at least once per day. Other FireTvs in my home, on the same network do not do this. Hopefully it is straightened out in a future firmware update.

Best valued high quality tv found in recent years

This thing is a lot of bang for your buck, superior 4k picture and nice out of the box sound.
I’ve had more expensive sets with built in subwoofers that sound like tin cans, this thing fills the room with all the frequencies even at low volume, turn it up and it's home theatre sound without the hassle of bars and satellites and subs to set up.
The picture is excellent with very vibrant colors and great blacks, it does have a lot of residual bloom when you get something very bright against a dark black but that is the only negative of the tv. If I had found this before I bought my more expensive sets I wouldn’t have bought them, great picture and sound at a great price.

Great Picture and Sound Quality

The picture quality is impressive, and the sound is amazing—I rarely need to raise the volume above 15. However, I would suggest that management better inform their employees about the extended warranty options, as it was not offered to me until I inquired. Our expectations from Best Buy are much higher.
