Bought this tv today after some extensive reviewing of tvs online within the price range that I wanted ($300 to 400). This was on the low end of that range, and for what I got I am very pleased. I previously had a Toshiba tv unit that I bought in 2010 that had been going strong for 6 years, and have owned several Toshiba laptops, so I figured this would be a good brand to stick with for hardware quality. Picture: On first impression, the picture isn't great, but with tweaking in the settings, which are extensive, this thing can make a great display for tv shows, movies, and games. I recommend setting up a different mode and tweaking them for each of these that you want to view. The only issue I have with the picture is that at 60hz and an 8ms response time, action scenes in games and sports WILL blur some. This is going to happen with any 60hz set, so I wasn't surprised to find it on this unit. As with most tvs, I recommend turning off anything that says "dynamic" on the advanced settings page, and then tweaking settings from there. There is also a good bit of glare from harsh light sources since this screen is gloss and not matte, but once again that is an aspect of the tv and will be the case on any other glossy tv. 8/10. Sound: I am pleasantly happy with this tv's sound. My previous Toshiba tv had very tinny speakers, and I can say this unit has full sound, with great mids and highs and pretty good bass for what you'd expect from a tv unit. It is powered by two 10w speakers, so the sound can get decently loud as well. I recommend upping the bass and treble settings to +8 or so for most uses, and also turn off TruSurround and see if you prefer it off or on. I personally prefer it to be off for most uses, but it does add some immersion when watching movies. Sound is actually really solid, and if it bothers you there is both a 3.5mm sound output and an optical digital output for sound bars. 10/10. Other aspects: The tv weighs only 24-25 pounds and is very easy to transport. I was able to lug it up three flights of stairs to my apartment by myself, with minimal effort, however I am pretty tall. For those that are short, two average-strength people could also easily get it up several flights without worrying about it hitting the stairs. The tv's stands were easy to assemble, and I had the tv unboxed, stand assembled, and hooked up in about 8-10 minutes. It wobbles a tiny bit on the stand, but after giving a solid 10 lbs of pressure on it in either direction, the stand does not budge and it doesn't look like it would fall over without considerable effort. Overall I'd give the tv a 9/10 for a no-frills, non-smart tv that is 1080p and runs at 60hz and is super cheap. For its price its picture is good, its sound is excellent, and it does exactly what it is supposed to do.
