"This is a nice TV and the sound is sufficient if you use it in a regular size room e.g a bedroom. I originally had the TV in my LR/DR area and the sound was awful but that is due to the space being extremely large. Once I moved the TV to my bedroom I have not had a problem with the sound.
I am trying to figure out how to remove a favorite channel from the list. When I clicked on favorite it reads add/remove but it added the same channel again :("

"I Love this TV! The only thing that would make it better would be to have analog audio output (R/L RCA) for easier integration. Also for people that don't realize that ANY FLAT PANEL TV has "poor quality" sound (due to basic design/size restraints) can easily plug the TV's audio into their home stereo equipment without having to upgrade all of their electronics ~ More options would be nice. I own several Toshiba products including the laptop I'm writing this with now and have been nothing but pleased, Good Job!! :)"

"I have had my Toshiba for about 10 days. I love the size of the screen and I am happy with the quality of the picture. (I'm not using the HDTV) My only issue is the sound. Its terrible. I invested in a sound bar and fingers cross it will do the trick."

"*Toshiba delete comments made by people who haven't yet received the product, or bothered to take it out of the box. Look up the definition of review! You can't do so based on OTHER reviews... If you like your eardrums then there is nothing wrong with this TV whatsoever. The sound isn't either of the extremes. If you fancy abusing your poor ears, and blasting music, and movies in them then no this isn't the TV for you. No decent priced TV alone is. You can't expect the absolute best if you're not willing to pay the absolute most. I love this television. The picture is great, the sound is just fine, PC resolution is beautiful, and the price is pretty good. It's a great bargain. My only gripe is no user manual. Shame on that new trend..."

"I haven`t even hooked mine up yet, Just bought it today.
I am replacing a Toshiba product that is only 5 yrs old.
After reading the reviews I am wondering if I made the right choice. My last tv lasted over 20 years and is still currently working.
The Toshiba TV I bought 5 yrs ago is already failing.
I think I should have bought the Panasonic instead.
I will probably return this one and buy the Panasonic as it has a way better rating than this one and i`m afraid that this one will let me down too.
Wow!! I havent even got it out of the box yet.
I am very upset that this TV can be this bad.
Is someone from Toshiba reading this!!.
If so, you should price match a similar size TV that is of better quality, without the quirks associated with this one.
Otherwise you will see this one returned."

"This TV set had problems since the first day. Initially, we had problems with the HDMI input. We thought that the problem was the HDMI cable so I decided to replace it with another cable. Same problem but finally I started working from the second HDMI port. After a week the TV set went crazy. We were unable view any image on the screen, no matter which input you use, no matter which cable or source. Not even the tv setup menu. A technician came and ‘fix’ the TV set in about 30 minutes. After 2 hours, the TV set stop working once again with the same problem. Today, I am going to call for service (again). Please save time , money and your health. Don’t ever consider buying this unit. Thank you."

"This TV was a gift from my employer for 30 yrs. of service along with a Toshiba BluRay player.The pic is not nearly as clear as my 2 year old Vizio 32" 780p unit.Thankfully I run the sound thru my A/V receiver as the audio is abysmal.I will donate this TV to my church and go back to the Vizio. I wish they had given me a watch. . ."

"For the money the picture and other features are good. But the sound is horrible! Not enough volume and very high treble. I finally got a little more volume by going through the HDMI port, but still not good quality sound. I purchased a home theater system and cannot figure out how to get the tv sound to come thru the system. That is likely my fault and not the tv's, but I have been thru every menu option for sound and cant find anything to switch it to the external system. Overall for the money its an ok tv, but I was very disappointed and even surprised with the sound quality."

"Very slow response when turning the set on, changing channels or any feature. The sound is absolutely terrible. Voices are tinny and it sounds like they are talking from inside a vacuum.In this case, I guess you get what you pay for. Unfortunately, I will not be able to recommend this particular product to any of my friends"

"LIke others have said, the sound on the TV is simply terrible. It's a fine set if you have a separate audio system, but just bad if you don't. My significant other, who is not usually bothered by this sort of thing, is the one who first noticed. It's that bad. Picture is decent, but nothing to write home about."

"The picture quality is good for a tv in this price range, the gaming mode works realy well without lag but the sound quality is beyond auful and there are no analog audio outs. it is like listening to a stereo with no woofers or midranges, just tweeters. It is tinny and harsh, sounds like a laptop. toshiba had to buy the absolute cheepest components to get it to sound this bad, the ringtone on a cell phone is in the same range and the phone fits in your pocket. there is no effective adjustment, with the bass on 10 and the treble on 0, still tinny, NO BASS"
