Excellent Budget TV

After moving to a new apartment, I'd been looking to replace my LG 32" TV. It used to be in my room at my rents' place, but now having a couch and sitting further back, 32" wasn't cutting it. I found this Toshiba 43" Open Box - Geek Squad Certified deal and took the plunge. I was hesitant, especially not hearing many good things about any TV brands other than LG, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, Vizio, etc. I'm happy to say that this TV, for the price, is outstanding.
I will say that when I took the TV out of the box it had some scuffs on the black plastic trim around the screen; it was open box after all. I took some Meguiar's Plastic Polish and a microfiber cloth and buffed this area a little bit, cleaned the screen with a white vinegar/water solution, and did an all over dusting and now it looks like a brand new item.
The Toshiba won't have all the bells and whistles of some of the higher end TV's, but it doesn't cost nearly as much either. It's not a Smart TV, it doesn't have a 120 Hz+ refresh rate, but it's a solid unit with solid performance. I would say the key thing with this TV is to know what you're buying. I'll outline it's performance below.
The picture, for me, is fantastic. Now, I'm using this TV primarily for gaming and the occasional DVD nothing more nothing less. I don't need to see the pores or the individual hairs of people on the screen. Why? Because even if I wanted to I can't. As an Xbox 360/Playstation 3 owner, the games' graphics aren't that high. I did some trials on some of my most graphically demanding games however and the TV showed them beautifully. Blacks were nice and dark, colors were vibrant and popped (where they needed to) and there was no motion blur or errors in places there shouldn't have been. For most, this TV will look fantastic. 1080P LED has been a solid choice for years and still is. If you don't demand to see the finest details TV's can offer, this Toshiba will more than please. If you absolutely must have the latest and greatest, look elsewhere.
What really impressed me about this TV was the speaker system. I have never heard built-in TV speakers that sounded this good. I was using an iSound sound bar on my old 32" TV because the speakers weren't anything special, but the Toshiba blows even the sound bar out of the water. Highs are nice and clear with no distortion, there's a strong bass, and the DTS surround sound is equally impressive. The sound really does go from one end of the TV to another like surround sound and it projects so well you'd swear you had speakers on the side of you.
All in all for the price I got it for, this TV was a steal. I hadn't heard much about Toshiba TV's but if they continue to stay in the market I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. I highly recommend this TV for someone who wants a "Mustang" of TV's. Yeah it's not a "Ferrari" but it's not trying to be. It's an incredibly strong performer in its own right.
I would recommend this to a friend!
