You’re welcome Hunter

[@qdood]

Hey Steve, I bought this tv a while back and like you i was pleasantly surprised with its picture quality and feature set. I really like the fact that I can control the tv thru alexa. Thanks for another good video!

[@HalfaBeast]

I was using an older model flat screen television with Fire Stick. I would use a set of Blue Tooth ear buds while watching TV at night. The sound was good and I would use the volume controls on the ear buds to adjust the volume. The TV recently started suffering from darkening of the screen so I purchased a 43 inch Toshiba Fire TV. After the initial setup I paired my ear buds to my new TV. Reception was good but the volume was way low. I went through all the volume options on the TV as well as watched KZbin videos and searching on the net for a fix to this low volume. After exhausting all measures and just as an after thought I used the volume controls on the remote. That proved to be my problem. I adjusted to volume via the remote and I once again had adequate volume. I have the TV speakers off and use a non Blue Tooth sound bar and didn't think the volume control on the remote would work. Stupid me........

[@michelletoni3067]

Toshiba is a great Tv brand, i had an older 2009 Toshiba, & I swear, I watch a ton of tv😂 Im talking a-lot & Its still going strong, talking gaming for 12 hrs a day & watching tv….. I only upgraded to this tv, because I absolutely knew it would last forever, plus I really love this TV, its great 👍

[@TechSteve]

[@reesesman8821]

I have the 32 inch version for my small bedroom just bought it and I love it

[@Ferrari96]

Bought this TV on Black Friday (2019) for $330 for the 55 inch! Overall a great budget 4K TV that has all the essential needs in terms of watching movies and playing video games. Toshiba is a very reliable brand in terms of getting your money’s worth for the overall build/internal quality of the TV. Can’t wait for next gen consoles on this TV! 😁

[@vijayagovind9488]

Hey does it game well?

[@vijayagovind9488]

I want to buy a ps5 which is best at 4k. Do you think this tv is good enough to handle that kind of gameplay?

[@Ferrari96]

Vijaya Govind This TV would definitely handle 4K at 60fps perfectly fine with “game mode” on which reduces game lag flawlessly. It has a built in quad core processor that’s capable of running 4K content rather its movies or games. I been playing PS4 games such as COD, and GTA as well as PS3 and Xbox 360 games and have experienced them all well with no game lag and great graphics. I also plan on buying and playing PS5 games on this beauty once the day comes. 👍🏼

[@truzz4]

@@Ferrari96 Bought mine for the PS5 for $330 CAD, arriving in a few weeks and so is my PS5 😁. Glad to hear that, I wanted a 4K 120Hz TV originally, but at the same time I didn’t want to pay that much for one right now since most games won’t even support 120 FPS for the first year after launch. So I decided to grab this on Amazon for a cheap price and use it for 1-2 years with the PS5. Also how’s the input lag? I’m hearing it’s fairly low compared to other TV’s, like 10ms with Game Mode or something?

[@truzz4]

Just had one of these (55" model) crap out after only a year and a half. I was leery because of the low price and I should have listened to myself. Spend a few extra bucks. It's worth it.

[@marcaube7257]

The Fire edition TV's were on display at Best Buy in Canada this week and I observed that the larger screens 55" were slow during fast actions scenes from the Avengers movie while watching the preview mode at the store. However the 43" & 50 " TV's were flawless. The same demo was being played for all TV's at the store. Another brand also displayed speed issues with larger screens. The other brand was a discount brand sold at Best BUY.

[@Soulintent95]

tvs dont slow down, that was their internet. its literally impossible for a tv to have slowdown, all its doing is receiving a signal, not rendering graphics.

Dolby vision is 12 bit which is why it has more colours. It’s not just a format. there is a physical difference such as HDMI 2.1 with 48 Gbps speed. I would expect that level of technology on an entry level tv in 2021 yet.

[@peteandtessTube]

Great video! I’m getting mine delivered Monday to replace my Samsung. I’m used to using a Firestick so the fire tv will be all of that already installed. I have 3 questions you may be able to help me with: 1. can I connect sound output to an Echo via Wi-Fi not Bluetooth? For example Alexa play Tv upstairs? 2. Can you project your iPad screen to the Tv? 3. Do you know if it has more hard drive space for apps than a Firestick? I will be experimenting with these questions and more as I play with the tv once I get it but your experience might point me in the right direction. Kudos for a great, friendly and informative video without a bunch of distracting music and soliciting for Likes etc. but because of that I will Thumbs up and subscribe. Thanks Again!
