Watch movies or play games with exceptional clarity by using this Toshiba Full HD TV with 1080p resolution. Three HDMI inputs and a USB port make it easy to connect other devices. This Toshiba Full HD TV has DTS TruSurround and two built-in speakers to project high-quality sound throughout the room.

When lightning struck my TV through the cable line I had to purchase a new one and this one fit within my budget. My old TV was a Toshiba 720p 32" so this one is an upgrade.
Setup was easy. The picture is great. The sound is terrible.
You'll need to adjust the picture quality but it isn't that hard to do and you should have no trouble playing around with the settings. There is a reset button so you can put everything back to factory settings if you need to start over.
As for the sound- The speakers aren't bad speakers. It's the positioning of the speakers. The sound comes out from the BOTTOM of the TV between the legs. The sound quality (because of position) is far worse than my 5 year old Toshiba TV. It works in a small room with little background noise but if you have a loud house or big room then you will need a sound bar/external speakers. I'm buying a sound bar.
It's not a Smart TV but with a Firestick or other streaming service you can easily make this into a not-dumb TV. You can also hook it up to your laptop or desktop with an HDMI cable and use it for internet streaming. You don't need to spend the extra money for Smart if you don't want to.
Lastly this TV comes with a QAM tuner. This means you don't need to rent a cable box from the cable company to use it. I am using the TV in the bedroom where I just plug the cable directly into the TV. You will not get HD programming other than OTA channels (local) but you aren't paying an extra $20/month for a 2nd box either.
(some cable companies are getting rid of direct cable hookups. Your area/cable company might be different from mine.)
All in all it was a good purchase for me. I am familiar with Toshiba and hadn't had any major problems with the other two Toshiba TVs I've owned.
My Best Buy number: 4147569857
I would recommend this to a friend!

This model Toshiba - 43" Class (42.5" Diag.) - LED - 1080p has Roku ?
No it does not have Roku but you can add streaming services with 3rd party hardware. (Firestick, etc)
