Great TV, Great Computer Monitor, Great Price
on June 7, 2016

I originally ordered a $250 43" 4K TV from WalMart, it arrived broken. I returned it and went to BestBuy, bought this TV instead. $150 more expensive, but it is a smart TV, which allows you to hook directly to NetFlix, Amazon, YouTube and several others. The TV also hooks to your network wirelessly.
I am actually using the TV as a 3840x2160 computer monitor, hooked to my laptop via HDMI. No problems, frame rates are perfect.
I was particulary impressed with the speakers on this TV. I normally don't expect the speakers on a budget TV to be worth much, but I don't think anyone would think these are budget unless you told them. They really sound great, and have replaced a bluetooth $100 sony stand-alone speaker I had originally been using, they are actually much better. So consider just the speakers alone to be worth $100.
I am writing this review right now on this TV as a monitor.
The only drawback at all would be it would be nice if it was curved, but you need to step up another $300 or so to get a curved Samsung that is equivelant, not really worth it.
Great TV / Great computer monitor (BTW you will never find a 4K computer monitor of any size for $399, these days there is no difference, so go big and get the TV as your monitor).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome Price But No USB 3.0 Support

The laptop is great. However as a previous reviewer had pointed out, the laptop has USB 2.0 support only, not USB 3.0. Amazingly, the demo unit at Best Buy does have a sticker right on the keyboard area that talks about USB 3.0 and how fast it is. Listen people, this is not a mistake by me or Best Buy, this is a sticker directly from Toshiba. And no, we did not mistake the wrong computer on the shelf, you can see that the demo unit does not have the blue usb SS-> symbol, but its more expensive brother DOES. Additionally, there is another sticker on the side of the box the computer comes in, and it says "Fast file transfers with USB 3.0". I know what happened, the next model up DOES have USB 3.0 and looks absolutely identical, somebody back in Toshiba town forgot to check if the three things the sticker talks about is actually true for all models. SO, just be aware that USB 3.0 is not in this laptop, but even so its a great price and a nice laptop. BTW we bought 2 of them. (Yes stickers are all the same on both of them, USB 3.0 and all.)
What's great about it: Amazing Price, 4GB of memory
What's not so great: Despite being shown on the packaging, USB 3.0 is not supported
I would recommend this to a friend!
