Toshiba TV Reviews

My Toshiba Smart TV is the worst electrical item I have ever purchased. It regularly turns itself off and then on again; it defaults to the media setting frequently which is so annoying; the WiFi turns off all the time and so has to be rebooted. Do not buy a Toshiba TV as my one is a complete waste of money - pay a bit more and get a decent TV.

I have a Toshiba 32" and I have had no problem so far. Bright, Loud, Clear, no buzz, no hums. It on all night. Cut off at noon and turn back on at 4 or 5. I've had the flat screen since 2014. The price was right to purchase around $89 - $99. I'm enjoying it. I guess when it shuts down I'll need another one. Good product.

Toshiba TV stopped working at 15 months. On the phone with Toshiba for 1hr 20min, with sub-par customer service and no support to resolve the issue, as the warranty just expired. TVs should not be dispensable like this. Will NEVER buy Toshiba again. Buyer beware!

Picture keeps going can, on and off. Sound keeps working. Don't buy from Toshiba once you buy it... IT'S YOURS! If you do, get ready for phone calls that cost you time + the cost of the tv... I wonder why the people on the service line can't speak English. Just part of the scam. You have been warned.

Toshiba TV, CT-90325. Today, out of the blue, my tv quit working. When I turned the tv on, it flashed the Toshiba logo as it always does, but that was it. There was no picture or sound. I tried troubleshooting, but when that didn’t work I contacted Toshiba. The language barrier made communication difficult. I had to repeat myself several times, he had to repeat himself, and continually talked over me. As soon as he learned my tv was 5-6 years old he said he couldn’t help, and gave me a different number to call. I tried to ask a question but he wouldn’t answer and again stated I needed to call the other number. When I called that number the automated voice informed me that Toshiba no longer offered assistance for tv’s over 2 years old. Horrible customer service! Stay away!!!

I don't recommend any product made by Toshiba based on their lack of Customer Support. Not only is my Toshiba product unsupported but after speaking with multiple people throughout the company not one gave me any hint that they could help me, only a clear message of... "Dunno, this isn't our dept." Well from now on Toshiba is not a company I will ever use.

We've never had a problem with our TV. Our Toshiba has served our purposes for several years now. There are only 2 reasons we would replace this TV, if it developed a problem needing repair or we would see another TV with better picture or better options.

Good purchase price and does the basics well. I think Toshiba TV are all pretty much the same. In my case, find the size I want at or about the price I want to pay. Have tried many brands over the years and find it depends on where you buy it, not what brand you buy. Nobody fixes TVs anymore! Have 2 flatscreens in my locker.

Toshiba decided to suddenly cull its support of YouTube as far as Network connections are concerned. Now it seems this has been done with Netflix too. "Toshiba Places" which allows one to connect to servers and access Netflix does no longer work. No choice left but bin the TV and buy a new one... NOT TOSHIBA!

Our Toshiba is 32 inches and we bought it for less than $200. Its performance has been great, and it looks great as well. It’s got plenty of HDMI space and even USB spaces. We purchased it at Best Buy.

I'm very happy with my choice. I'm a senior citizen that need a TV I can operate. I don't want to purchase something I can't operate. I also like the price of the TV and the Quality of the picture.

I purchased a 50 in LED and a 39 in LED TV in July 2013. The 50 in went out and they said it was the motherboard. A year later it started again problems turning on. It went out in November and has not come on since. It has been a problem trying to contact Toshiba for help. I think this TV is defective. Such a waste of money on the 50 and the 39 is still working and I have a Proscan I purchased in 2008 and it is showing the best picture ever. Never will purchase a Toshiba product again.

Never used Toshiba before until my Ex brought this home. I was amazed in the quality of the picture from my smart T.V. It also has a sleek look and the big 60" Flat Screen gives amazing performance along with features that all smart T.V. usually has. It has great color, sound, Energy Saving Flat Screen and graphics feel like 3D. Overall great Smart T.V. Great Buy for the Quality I receive. Would Recommend this product.

My 50 inch (50L1350U) Toshiba TV went from an amazing picture to no picture with 3 1/2 years of minimal use. Last week picture suddenly went black with audio still working. We changed HDMI outlets on the TV for a temporary fix but a couple of days later black screen again. Looked online to troubleshoot. As one possible problem I bought an inverter board replacement on eBay but that was not the problem. I called a TV repair shop in my area. As soon as he heard Toshiba TV he told me "Throw it out and buy a new TV". SO disappointed with Toshiba! I would highly Not recommend any Toshiba TV unless you want to junk it after a few years. What a rip off!!!

Toshiba is resolving my complaint no ** (within warranty period). My LED TV having sound issue, I had made complaint on 6/09/ 2017. Customer care does not have any confirm solutions. They have no part available and not able to resolve the case. In Aug 2017 had issue of panel that was resolved after so much follow up, but this time no proper answer for my complaint. This is very frustrating to us. If anyone know let me know how to complaint in consumer court.

My Toshiba TV is a 13-inch set that has performed well and I will not replace it with another set until it no longer works. The unit is at least 10 years old and has a great picture. I am please with this brand.

I have previously purchased this brand in the past, and have no problems with the set after having it for many years. The color, clarity and sound are of excellent quality. It's a 32-inch screen size, which is appropriate for my room size. The overall characteristics far exceed those of other TVs I have owned.

Toshiba televisions seem to be fairly reliable and can be linked to other Toshiba products. There are many viewing options so that you can adjust things to your personal preferences. Great picture and no repairs required as of yet.

I have had this Toshiba TV going on 8 years and not a speck of trouble. The sound and clarity of the picture is amazing and handles all my extras beautifully. I like my Blu-ray and DVR service.

We bought a 3D television and four sets of 3D glasses thinking it would be an awesome experience to have in our home. Unfortunately, to watch TV using 3D we would have to sit on the top, back of our couch!! That was the only place we could really experience the 3D viewing. It is not a very comfortable position to watch movies! So, after spending a lot of extra money for this feature we were very disappointed. Other than that disappointment, the TV has been great! It has an excellent picture.

So far, it's been an excellent television. It's about a 32 inch screen and so far it has lasted through 3 moves and still works great.

We've owned our current Toshiba TV for a number of years. I did some research before I bought it, which I highly recommend. I got a good price when I purchased it (though had I waited a couple of months for the new year, I would have gotten an even better price) and I have had no maintenance issues at all. It has a nice picture and I connected it to a Bose sound system, so the sound's excellent. It does everything one expects of a TV.

I have found all their products to be dependable and of the best quality. I've had several Toshiba televisions (as well as other products from this company). This TV is several years old, while it predates the Smart TVs - the picture is excellent and can't rationalize an update. The Toshiba TV I had before this one was 25 years old and still working perfectly before I decided I just needed a new model!

I owned this Toshiba TV for over 8 years without any problems. The TV is a 42-inch Regza model with fast response and good sound. Also, the viewing and color are fabulous.

It is a regular screen television with a DVD and VHS accessory. All three of these components have served me well over the past twenty-five years. I sincerely doubt a television these days have such components. I weathered the storm by not buying Beta when it was at war with VHS. The minority of my associates scoffed me when I opted to buy VHS. I would not turn in this television for it has all the proverbial bells and whistles I really need. Having a product that has withstood the rigors of children and grandchildren says something for the manufacturer. I would NEVER buy an American-made product for from personal experience have seen the American-made product fall apart after less than six months of use. It goes to prove that Japanese electronics put American electronics on the back burner. This even goes for automobiles.

I like Toshiba products (my previous computer was this brand, and I used it for a number of years). My current TV is also Toshiba and it is a good size for my room where it sits on top of my dresser. It's narrower top to bottom and wider sideways, but I got used to it being this configuration. The picture is very clear and the color is good. It serves me adequately.

Bought a Toshiba 50 inch LC1400 TV approximately 27 months ago. The installer made a comment to me that TV nowadays are built to last about 2 years. I scoffed. Turns out he was right. The backlight in the screen is gone and the darkness is progressing up the screen to the point that I can only see the top third. Not worth the cost to have it repaired so I now have to buy a new one, 2 years later.

We bought a new Toshiba LCD 50" tv in Dec of 2013. We had a three year warranty (mfg 1 year). We had the screen go black one time and were told to turn off the tv and turn it back on and it worked fine for a few months. Now the screen is black and you can use a flashlight to barely see a picture. We have sound. We were told it was a board that has gone out and it seems to be a frequent problem with Toshiba's. I tried calling Toshiba to see if there were any recalls. The number tells you to call another number. When I call the new number it tells you to go online. I did that but can't find any way to contact a live person to find out if there are any recalls. A tv like this should not go out after owning it for 3 1/2 years!!

Problem in 29" Led TV, Toshiba is not providing me the service. Complaint has been logged on 26-11-16. Almost 7 months nobody is there listen my complaint. Mr. Shyam ** (Manager Service) never picked up my phone. He gave me assurance 3 months back that problem will be solved. Very pathetic. I strongly recommend all buyers not to buy Toshiba products because you will never get a service.

This television has not had one repair in over 12 years. The only part that may need replaced is the on/Off button which will only work if I turn it on at the tv. Will not work with the remote and that only occurred this past year.

For a small TV it gets the job done, just nicely for a small room. Volume comes across nicely, puts out a nice clear picture even though not connected to cable, internet, DishTV.

Toshiba TV has been an excellent television, it serves me well! A very reliable television ~ wonderful picture, excellent size; however, there is one downside... The volume level could be improved. I had to purchase a sound bar!

We got this TV 2 months ago and we truly enjoy our new Toshiba and all the features it include. Great picture, perfect size for us, sound is great without surround sound added. Didn't realize how different the brands were until taking the time to use different TVs. Our other TV needs an upgrade, after viewing the new TV. We will probably buy another Toshiba.

I am highly disappointed in PC Richard and sons. I purchased a 50 inch television not even three years ago for my mom's mother's day gift and it is not working won't even turn on. I purchased the extended warranty which of course is expired now so I figured I would go to the store to try and speak with someone hoping they would want to fix the issue being as though the tv is nowhere near old only to speak with a gentleman that basically said, "Oh well it's man made. Your warranty is expired. Pay for someone to come out and look at it or buy another tv." Are you kidding me! I am so angry I thought pc richard and sons stood by their products. I could understand if the tv was 5 or more years old but my god not even three years and it was a mother's day gift.

I had registered a complaint about my 40'' led tv (Toshiba tv 40l2400) that its not working from 25 Dec 2016. Complaint number is **, after that nobody had come to check that. Then after 4 days I received a call from a service center name OM AIRCOM Solution that they are from Toshiba and asked the problem. Then they said "it's a problem of your panel" and they will repair the tv within 2 to 3 days but now it's 40 days had been gone and nobody had come at my home to repair it. I had called many times to the customer care team and every time they said that "your panel is in Bengaluru warehouse and it will reach to service center soon." I think Toshiba don't care about their customer and they don't want to make loyal customer in India. Very pathetic service TOSHIBA. 40 days had gone but nobody had come and there is no solution provided. I will recommend to all that don't buy the products of TOSHIBA. POOR POOR POOR service.

55SV670U - I purchases this high dollar TV less than 7 years ago. Within the first year there were issues with this television. The Main board was replaced due to a weird double picture and echo audio problem. Within a few months the problem returned. Keep in mind the tv is now less than 2 years old. Turning the tv off for a few minutes then back on usually helped with restoring it back to normal. The next problem was the red, blue and green vertical lines and dark spots on the screen that lasted for about a year before the tv finally would only display a blue screen when turned on. Now I have an expensive Toshiba paperweight sitting in my living room. This is the worst tv I've ever purchased in my life! Toshiba customer service is nonexistent. I see a class action lawsuit in the future to compensate the tens of thousands or millions who have wasted money on these beautiful yet worthless televisions.

Bought Toshiba 47L6200U TV from TigerDirect in August of 2012 and after a recent firmware update it is stuck on the red Toshiba logo when it is turned on. After doing some research online, many people have the same issue. Contacted Toshiba and they were absolutely no help. It seems this TV has a defect and Toshiba will not stand by their product. The TV needs a new mainboard and the part is not in stock anywhere. My options are to throw the TV into the dump or buy a used mainboard that may have the same problem. I will never buy another Toshiba product again (have bought to laptops in the past) and will not recommend their products to anyone. Feeling duped.

4 yr old TV - Screen stays on for ten seconds then goes black. Cable output continues but without picture. Went online and guess what? Toshiba no longer offers any support for TVs. AVOID TOSHIBA AT ALL COSTS. It's a corporation that does not stand behind its products.

I purchased two 50" Toshiba tvs #50L3400U on 4-29-14. Before the year was up I began having trouble with both of them. They sent a tech out to replace all the boards in both tvs. [They would not respond to remote or manual commands.] This fixed prob for a while. Now 10-26-2016 tv #1 only 1/2 screen lights up. I'm done. I went out and bought a samsung. I will never buy anything from Toshiba again. Tv # two still has command problems.

We purchased a Toshiba 49" flat screen. When we got it home and hooked it up, the base had a wobble to it, so we contacted Best Buy. They stated that if there were issues, the manufacturer would be responsible with the warranty. We were nervous but went ahead and set it up with the base that came with the tv. It fell over, smashing the screen and breaking our PlayStation in the process. We contacted Toshiba. After many unreturned phone calls, a visit from Best Buy (who stated the base was MADE incorrectly), we got a denial for the warranty.

I purchased a Toshiba LED television just over 3 1/2 years ago. About 3 months ago the television would turn on but I would only get audio--no video. I had to take my television to a local repair shop to fix the problem. It turned out that a diode had to be replaced. Toshiba no longer supplied the diode. The part had to be shipped from China. Apparently this problem with Toshiba televisions is not uncommon.

I have owned a Toshiba 55" TV when the co-axial cable input fell out of the back of the tv. I waited 3 months for parts when they finally told me parts aren't available so they would replace. They came by and then told me it isn't warrantied and I basically out the money I paid for it. They said the TV was gouged in the back. I told they I would go to the store and if anyone could tell the difference between mine and one in the store I would buy them a new TV... Mine is not gouged and looks brand new.

We called Toshiba and in order to talk to someone in service we must pay a fee. What is wrong with customer service these days? We have used this TV for not quite 3 years and the screen is black, sound but no picture. Are they built to last this short a time?

I purchased new 55 inch Toshiba LED TV Model # 55L6200U; SN C45224T16242L1 from Best Buy on Jan. 5, 2013. From this January, the TV intermittently started getting stuck on Toshiba logo when started. However, from approx. March 2016 onwards, the TV is permanently stuck on Toshiba logo! I lodged a complaint with Toshiba on May 27, 2016 under ticket # **. On Jun. 27, the company called and asked me to take my TV to Japan Video Service Ltd., Edmonton for diagnostic check to be paid by Toshiba. On July 8th, after getting a report from Japan Video, Toshiba informed me that the mainboard required replacement but the part wasn’t available with them therefore, they would not pay for the part or the labour for the repair. Today, Toshiba informed me that they had sourced the part from CCSI Ontario but since the part is not from “their stock”, Toshiba would not pay for the repairs.

I am writing this review due to the bad reviews of others. We have had our 40" Toshiba Flat Screen TV for 7 years and have not had any problems with it at all. The color, sound and picture are all still perfect. We have been very happy with this purchase, recommend it, and will purchase another Toshiba when this one does die, but hopefully, that will be after we die. LOL.

My 15 yr. old autistic son saved enough money to buy his own TV set. Budget was limited so choices were down to unknown Chinese brands and a 32" Toshiba. Since my wife and I readily recognized Toshiba as an old Japanese brand, we went for it. The TV tested fine at the store but the moment we reached home and plugged it in, the display became inverted. We returned the TV to the store the very next day and after spending some time in the technical booth, they replaced it with a new one. Again, they tested it and it was fine.

LED display faulty. My complaint no is **. I had lodged this complaint to Toshiba customer care in June. 15 days no information from the customer care. After 15 days, when I called them, they told me that "you will get a new TV." After 1 week I called them - they told me "we have initiated a refund for the case." Manpreet is a person who deals with all the refunds. He told me call on Tuesday, i.e 10th of April, but he is not receiving my call. Got a call from Charu **. She told me to give the confirmation on Tuesday. She is also not receiving my call and I had mailed customer care for 20 times. Charu is not responding on the same mail. Please suggest me what should I do.

I bought a 50" Toshiba TV and figured the product should last at least 3-5 yrs... Good, reputable brand. I didn't purchase the extended warranty. After less than a year and a half, I am seeing the top third of the screen turning dark. Best Buy Geek Squad told me by the time they came out, charged for the service and parts, I might as well buy a new one. I will not purchase another Toshiba product. Had trouble with my laptop as well.

I purchased a TOSHIBA laptop and within 23 days it wouldn't even boot. Called Toshiba and they sent me a box for repair that took more than a week. Then when I sent it back to them by some Fedex ground box that they sent, it took a week to reach and week to seemingly repair. Was supposed to receive it 23rd march, but didn't. Finally made it to my door on 24th... guess what. Not repaired!!! They are not willing to replace or refund! Are we in the US??

So I bought the TV and it was working great until the 14th month and it wouldn't turn on. So we called Toshiba and they said, "You don't have the extended warranty." So they gave me a # for a repair shop all tech repair. So we brought it and they charged me a $200 plus $45.00 deposit to see what was wrong with it. And three months later you don't have a picture. I called again and they said we can't do anything about it. So now I have to buy a new TV after I spent 950 on a 50 inch TV. This product is garbage. I recommend to NEVER BUY THIS PRODUCT EVER. If somebody wants to sue I would go for it.

My Toshiba TV has been very reliable and has most of the features I like. It is about 5 years old and is a 55" LED TV. The sound quality of this TV is good but not great. We do have a sound system attached but very seldom use it as the sound from the TV's quite adequate. The colors are very good and when the cable is working good, it has no problem keeping up with the action on movies or sports.

I bought my 40" Toshiba for our bedroom. Plenty big for the distance between our bed/pillows and the wall we hung the TV on and the size of our bedroom. Other than the obstacles of dealing with DIRECTV whenever we attempt to do a pay per view and our DIRECTV Genie is challenged at random times it seems the Toshiba performs wonderful.

Good for live shows. Lots of ports and can connect to many devices. Good picture with HD menu is easy to use. Good scan for quick channels and sideways ports.

It's easily the most sophisticated, easy to use, and reliable television I've ever owned. Everyone should have a television this wonderful. There's simply nothing about it that I would change.

MY ONLY DISSATISFACTION IS THE INSTRUCTIONS. On the back are a mired of places of possible connections. Lay on my back looking up and trying different combinations. Got AT&T U-verse to work but never accomplished a CD or DVD configuration. Made me remember the first Honda M/C I worked on. The SHOP MANUAL was written by a Japanese person and translated by a Japanese person with a poor knowledge of English. Phrases close to: "Raise the Window Down".

I like them enough to buy more than 1. I bought several brands. Sanyo, Sharp, Emerson, Sony, RCA. They were all good tv's. My favorite is Samsung. Buying a new one today, 50".

I have a 52' inch Toshiba tv that is only 3 years old. It has recently started to turn itself off then back on again. I have tried unplugging it, disconnecting it from the cable, resetting it and nothing has worked. I have spoken with Toshiba and they have said, "They have no idea what is the issue and could not offer any suggestions". They have also said they have had no other complaints which is not true because if you look online there are numerous complaints for the same thing. It is ridiculous that you spend so much money on something just to have issues in only 3 years.

I have a Toshiba 19C100U. I find the instruction book a bit screwy and have a hard time hooking up other devices to it. But I am old, maybe that's the problem. Also, the guy in the store in Las Vegas that sold it to me was very rude.

Bought a Toshiba years ago. Never had any problem with the television. It lasted for years. I recently took it to east texas and it is still working good. Take care of your product it will last. The Toshiba was a big screen 55 inch. Now the Lg is an excellent product.

Do not know the model of Toshiba but it lasted 23 years and gave us no problems. We would buy the same again without question. We are getting a new one soon as we want a larger screen.

I'm not sure how old it is. Too heavy to move (CRT type) up on my chest of drawers. In my bedroom it has worked flawlessly since new. I use it every night before bed & in the mornings when I awake. It's a 27" as long as it works. Thanks for reading this report of satisfaction of my tv.

No issues. Beautiful and lifelike picture. I don't use the other features of the T.V. so it would not be fair to comment on these. However, switching back and forth from my DVD bluray and the T.V. requires the original remote and is not compatible with the remote for my satellite.

Have owned either Toshiba or Sony my entire life. Toshiba has never let me down. Sony has become a little overpriced but still a good set. I sold video products in my earlier years and always recommended Toshiba.

We have Toshiba sets in our house and have had very good service, color and reception from all of them. Two are connected to DISH Network and one is on a conventional antenna and the reception is equally clear. I am an older person and have not had any problem with the controls.

I have a mid-size Toshiba TV that is about a year old. It is almost useless as an over-the-air model. There is a huge amount of static and a lot of pixel loss during use. Actors just stop talking for sometimes one or two minutes on screen as it just sits there frozen. My old LG television which was used for the same purpose in the same location as the Toshiba was 100% better. It is also almost impossible to change the channel on the Toshiba TV itself and the remote works only when it feels like it, even with new batteries. Do not purchase a Toshiba TV if you are going to use it for over-the-air programming.

My Toshiba Regza has great color and clarity. It is several years old, as it lacks the smart features. However, the reliability and great picture means that I will hold on to it for as long as I can.

Great TV for HD viewing. No problems at all. Great buy. Smart TV is even better. Very pleased with this brand. Happy with a great buy. Bought my TV a few years ago and still works great.

Generally this Toshiba has worked well for me, but the speakers are not the greatest. The sound fades; when I turn it up to maximum and it fades, I can't hear the dialog anymore.

I've had it for about 12 years. Great HD pictures, lots & lots of input/output jacks on back unlike new TVs with only one set of input jacks & no output jacks. Only problem, just occurred, is the IR sensor in the TV, not the remote, it stopped working. :-(( I'd recommend it even though it weighs 208#'s.

I knew right from the start, Toshiba TV is one of the best manufacturer for this brand. Great price and great product for the money we pay for. I never have a problem with my product.

We originally were looking at a Samsung TV at Best Buy, when we found this one on sale because it had no box. So for $300 less and the same size we wanted, 55", we bought it and have never regretted it.

The set is 2 years old. No failures yet. Picture is so-so (LED). Not nearly as good as my Philips which was a plasma set which you cannot get anymore. I bought this Toshiba at Costco and I purchased the contract from Square. This was a waste of money. I contacted this "extended" warranty people twice and got the runaround. I love Costco but not the extended warranty company. I got more help from Toshiba.

We have an LG 47 inch in living room and Toshiba 42 in bedroom. Top-notch, have good pictures and the color is bright and very clear. Great buy on both. Very satisfied. Highly recommend.

Really like our TV... should have purchased a large model at the time, but are in an apartment and we weren't sure if it would fit... but would now purchase larger unit. We now have a 37 inch... but enjoy it. Thanks and have a great day.

I have kept a Sharp and Toshiba for watching films only. Neither has been connected to any service for 15 years. The TVs are probably fine, but there is absolutely nothing I want to waste time watching. One plays old VHS, and the other both VHS and DVD.

I have a 52 inch Toshiba HD that has a very clear picture and every feature possible for enjoyment. You can select various picture sizes and it is very easy to watch TV and switch to DVD from the remote control. I prefer the self standing TV to the wall TV.

Its HD picture quality is excellent; it's been working for 11 years. Just recently the IR sensor in the TV went out. Can't use remote:-((. Has more inputs/outputs on the back for whatever accessory you want to use unlike the new TVs that only have one input. I'd buy another one.

My Toshiba tv is awesome and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. Had it for a very long time and I will keep on buying them because I'm a satisfied customer.

Good experience! Never experience any trouble! It's a 59" TV and images are neat and clear. Next TV I will purchase will be another Toshiba brand. I have felt very comfortable with Toshiba since then.

I purchased a Toshiba 50" Integrated High Definition LED TV, model #50L5300UC in January 2014, and I have been very happy with it (so far). It can be wall-mounted or set on a base (note that it requires 2 people set up).

Toshiba 75 inch, good graphics, with clear screen. Durable, lighting surge reset button and surge protector. Durability and perfect finishing, stable picture with cool box.

On December 27, 2010 we purchased a Toshiba, Model # 32DT1U, TV. We paid $450.00 for it which at that time was a really good price for it. With an awesome display this TV has worked flawlessly since we've owned it. We have owned a number of different brands in the last 35 years including Sony, Sharp and Samsung and none could compare to it. We also own a 2005 Model 35A44 (CRT) which still works flawlessly. I would spend my money on another Toshiba if the need arose. I cannot speak highly enough for them.

I have two Toshiba TVs and both have excellent pictures. The 42 inch tv has a problem with the remote. The remote is not always responsive unless aimed just right and when using the rooftop antenna, the set will sometimes lock up when changing channels too fast. Not major problems and I would buy another Toshiba.

This is an awesome television. We got a great price on our Toshiba and love it. It is a 65 inch smart TV and I never imagined how amazing the features would be. I honestly didn't think I would use them all but I do. I would highly recommend a Toshiba television to any of my friends and family.

Purchased a smart tv and found out that I cannot download apps at all. Called customer support and they tried to charge me a $35 support fee. LOL. The techs are rude and cannot speak proper english. This is the worse product ever and I will never recommend to anyone, ever ! Ugh.

2 years of owning a 50L1350U the TV went dark last night. Sound was still on but can only see screen if I put a flashlight to it. Called Tech support who could only give me advice to unplug it and then plug it back in. Of course that didn't do anything and they were quick to say it is not warrantied and gave me local numbers to TV repair shops. I asked to talk to customer service and the guy told me I would have to call back in the morning as that department is closed. I called back and got tech support again so I asked for customer service and I was told to call local TV repair people, that there is NO CUSTOMER SERVICE department. I asked for a supervisor and was handed to a "case manager" who informed me that there is no warranty past 1 year and no department that I can talk to, that they stand behind their product and their warranty.

I purchased a 65 inch Toshiba TV with a 240 refresh in late July of this year. Upon arriving home with it, I noticed a large dark imperfection on the screen about 4 inches wide and across 2/3 of the screen. I contacted Toshiba the following day and was told that I needed to provide my bill or sale to begin the warranty period. A subsequent call to them, actually talk about the problem resulted in my having to send photos of the screen for them to investigate.

The LCD television has been good, has lasted at least 5 years with no problems. It is not quite as bright and clear as others I have seen. I think I would try a different brand next time.

My 48 inch, four year old Samsung TV has given excellent service. It's been totally problem free. My 10+ year old Toshiba is a workhorse and again. I've been very lucky to experience a problem free appliance.

Although analog (bought it just after the levee break following Katrina in 2005), gorgeous picture with antenna only! It has required zero repair in all these years in spite of quite a few moves. I also got the home entertainment set at the same time - all doing well. I've had friends wonder why my tv sound is so much better than their newer super-duper brands!

Toshiba 55 inches 3D LED TV. It also has a 5.1 audio system hooked up. I do have to go to the cinema anymore as enjoy the movies; I watch what I want and when I want.

I have had no problem with this particular television set. At thirty nine inches it's smaller than I would like, but we will only upgrade when we finally decide where we will settle down to retire. In the meantime the clarity, color and dependability is the mainstay of this television.

I apologize I do not know the make and model other than it is a 32" and LCD screen. It has two HDMI ports, one coaxial cable, VGA Monitor connector, and RGB Cable connect. It doesn't have the Yellow White Red connector which is unfortunate.

This is the second Toshiba I've owned. Both have been good sets. Have owned the current one for about ten years and have never had a problem. Excellent picture and functionality.

I am satisfied with the television. Their picture-in-picture, the color and clarity are good. It has worked well with PlayStation and Wii. It has capabilities for Internet connection and phone. My biggest issue is it can become complicated for me to do those things.

My T.V. is 7 years old I have not had any problems with yet. I find that it does not have some connections that I was told were needed for certain devices to use with it. The picture is very clear and crisp. Most of the time I feel that the newer Toshiba will have what people today are looking for. The connections that it does come with are easy to identify and hook up to whatever the 2008 is compatible. You just have to read carefully. So far so good.

The picture is sharp and I can view it from all areas of my room. It is very thin so takes up very little room on a narrow shelf. The color and sound are excellent. I would have given 5 stars, but a shadow is creeping in on the right side... all tries to eliminate this have failed. This is a Toshiba LCD with Integrated High Def. bought in 2007.

Good picture and sound quality, easy to hook up, inexpensive to operate, never fail performance for three years.

I have a 42" Toshiba Regza that I have had for over 7 years now. Wonderful picture and sound. The menus are user-friendly and I have never had any problems with it. It has three (3) HD hookups plus extra hookups for games and such. I highly recommend it.

The screen on our television is 26" which is the perfect size. Was easy to install, so easy in fact, took all of about 5 minutes to connect to Cablevision (which is now Optimum). Would highly recommend.

I bought a 40" Toshiba and immediately noticed how clear the picture was; and surprisingly the clarity of the sound... Hearing background noises that I never heard before. Extremely pleased after owning an Insignia for a year which caused me no end of problems!

Toshiba 46l5200u1 - Back light led went bad within the 1st year.

I have two Toshiba 46l5200u1 TVs. Both have a backlight issue. After a little research, I've found this is a very common problem with tv. The TVs are only a few years old. Does anyone know of any recalls or lawsuits out there?

I purchased Toshiba smart TV last year 2014 because of Netflix. Well Netflix constantly does updates but your television doesn't need to update. You get the run around with Toshiba saying call Netflix and Netflix saying to have Toshiba do a factory reset and software/firmware update then you have to pay because your warranty has run out. So don't purchase any Toshiba smart TV if you plan on using their smart apps. Stick to your Blu-ray players or PlayStation or Xbox.

I purchased a Toshiba TV (Model #: 46L5200U1) on February 19, 2013. After only 2 years and a couple months of having this TV, it has stopped working. The screen is black, but you can still hear sound. I found out the warranty we had on it was only for 12 months from purchase date so of course this would happen only one year later from the end of the warranty. I contacted Toshiba on 06/21/2015 and explained the situation. They had me try unplugging the TV and plugging it back in to press Menu and see what happens -- of course only a black screen. They then advised me to speak with one of their specialists in my area. I spoke with them and was advised it wasn't worth my while to attempt fixing the TV.

I got a Toshiba 50" flat screen, model DL 50 L1400 5 months ago. A month ago I bought a wireless headphone set to use with the TV. I plug it into the audio jacks in the back and nothing happened. I checked the headset by plugging it to my other TV, and it worked with no problem. I also tried other speakers and none of them worked on the Toshiba. Finally I called the store where I bought it from. They sent out a tech, to see what the problem was. It was thought that it needed a new main board, so I had to wait until they got the new part. When the part came in the tech came out to install it. After it was installed he tried to connect the wireless headset, and other speakers to the set and none of them worked. So finally the tech called Toshiba tech support only to find out that, that model doesn't have a audio out even though the jacks for it are in the back of the TV.

I purchased Toshiba model #50L1400U from Best Buy March of 2014. June 2015 (NO EXTENDED WARRANTY) the 50" TV has developed a viewing issue. After the TV has been on for a few minutes a dark image appears at approx. 6" from the lower right corner of the TV and extends horizontally from right side of viewing screen to left side (I HAVE PHOTOS). I contacted Toshiba, they advised me my one year warranty had expired and directed me to a local Toshiba authorized repair shop. I was told the repair estimate would cost approx. $195.00 if I brought the TV in and the parts estimated at $200.00 (THIS ESTIMATE WAS DONE OVER THE PHONE WITH THE PERSON WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE. IT WAS NOT BROUGHT IN FOR ACTUAL DIAGNOSIS AND ESTIMATE).

I just got a Toshiba "smart" TV about 5 months ago. It has had issues ever since I got it but I had been thinking it was Netflix, YouTube, etc. rather than the TV itself. I called those companies over and over trying different solutions. Finally, I found out that the TV had not been updated since 2013. All I needed was a software update. I was so relieved to finally have my answer! That is until I called and asked for help doing that.

TV UN32F5500: Recent firmware upgrade enabled SAP! Could not disable it. Was so very irritating… Googled internet for work around and nothing worked. End of story… The TV was thrown in the trash as junk. Will never buy another Samsung TV. PERIOD!!! Firmware updates must completely validated before releasing!!!

Attempted to play DVDs o/a 45 days after purchase... nothing worked! Contacted TOSHIBA customer service center over a 3-day period. They run sufficient tests to confirm it was a hardware problem, not software. I explained this was an "out of box" problem... not working when I bought it! I was immediately advised I had to ship (at my expense) the laptop to their repair shop (weeks before return?). Two days later, and three levels of case rep phone discussion, my insistence on receiving a replacement computer and returning my malfunctioning one... was flat denied!

Reported a Toshiba television warranty claim in beginning of January. Television has two items that need to be replaced (under warranty). We keep getting emails on the parts delay (now two month delay). They cannot guarantee part delivery and the Toshiba solution is to offer to send us a used television! Will never buy Toshiba again.

Purchased Toshiba model 55UL610U (3D Led smart tv) in August of 2011. Very expensive tv that lasted just over 3 years. Spoke with Toshiba customer support who wanted $35 dollars to diagnose over the phone. Opted to call in local tv repairman who diagnosed it at home. Found out motherboard is no good after only 3 years. Long story short, It will cost nearly 500 dollars to repair. No more Toshibas.

My screen had a crack in the color display and Fixed itself one day and it's still working perfect.

After about 9 months the screen on my Toshiba 19-inch television began to go blank and turn different colors. I called Toshiba and was told by the rep since I was out of the 90-day courtesy period it could possibly be fixed over the phone but it would cost me $35 (non refundable whether it fixed it or not). Did not understand this policy since the TV was still under the 1 year warranty. Chose not to pay and today the TV is useless. Will never buy another Toshiba product.

I needed a replacement TV for my 9 year old daughter's room. Amazingly, I found a 25-inch color CRT stereo Toshiba manufactured in 1999 in pristine condition for...you will not believe this...$7.50! Yes, less than ten dollars! The picture and sound are perfect, hooked up to my satellite provider, and in the two years since I purchased it, it has been going approximately 16 hours a day. Quality personified.

I bought a Toshiba tablet, it stopped picking or even scanning for the internet. I went online for technical support and they wanted me to pay $100.00 to help me! I would rather go buy a new Samsung Galaxy S5 than pay for a crappy product I bought just 7 months ago to be fixed. I will NEVER buy a Toshiba anything again. Your products are CRAPPY!

It would turn off every now and then. The turn offs became more frequent and then one time it went black and wouldn't come back on. It was 2 & 1/2 years old. We have been told it's the motherboard and it's as much as a new TV to get one. We will most likely end up getting a new TV but IT WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER TOSHIBA...... NEVER!!!!

I have a Toshiba normal TV not LED not LCD but Toshiba TV and when I need any help and contact Toshiba customer support number they always tells me that "We only support LCD and LEDs" and no any other TV related Toshiba brand. And when I ask them what I do now so they tell me that "We are not responsible for that but we only support LED and LCD." I am facing so many problems and not getting help from anywhere.

My LCD TV screen went blank one day. The TV is approximately 18 months old. Since it was out of warranty I contacted Sears Repair. The tech advised me that the LCD panel had gone bad and not worth fixing. He further stated that this was an ongoing problem with Toshiba and to stay away from their TVs.

I purchased this TV in 2011 and I'm sure glad I had a warranty on the TV because it is stopped working - multiple sound issues and Freezing through the Regza Link on the TV and it is just overall a bad TV and the people at the customer Service were very rude. One person hung up on me. A horrid TV overall. Do not buy this TV ever.

Bought a 58-inch HDTV and a 5-year warranty. TV went bad after 5 months! I've spent **hours** and **days** on the phone and after 6 weeks, still no TV, no repair, no help, no time given when it will be repaired or replaced, will not let me to speak to a supervisor (they say there are none!). No help, no nothing! Never never never buy a Toshiba product **ever**. Toshiba does not stand behind its warranty! 6 weeks and no TV, still waiting and still no info on when it will be fixed after dozens of worthless calls over 6 weeks and counting!!! The worst company I've ever dealt with in 66 years!

I purchased a 70 inch Toshiba screen TV on 8/11/2013 from Brandsmart which has not worked since 2/2014 no picture, no sound, or no power. I called to file a claim for someone, a technician, to come out and check the TV which took 2 weeks only for him to tell me my DirecTV cable box definition was high enough. Apparently the tech wasn't knowledgeable at all because the box is indeed compatible to the television. I called Toshiba and advised what I'm experiencing with the TV and the gentleman stated he was going to call Toshiba and verify the warranty, order the part that's needed and call me back.

If you are considering purchasing a TOSHIBA product I would reconsider. You may end up having the worst customer service experience of your life! We purchased a flat screen TV in June. It went into the shop on November 24th. The shop owner tells me that he cant get parts from TOSHIBA. I called TOSHIBA warranty support and complained and the rep sort of scolded me for taking it to a private shop, which is an option that they gave me in the beginning. I chose this option because it was going to take a week to get their service rep to my home and then there was that "window" of wasted time waiting for them to arrive.

Bought TV for Christmas 2012, use it in the bedroom 2 maybe 3 nights a week. Sometimes if we forget the TV on all night we wake up to a black screen with sound and can't get it working. Thinking its broken we decided to take in for warranty June 2013. After a few days before packing it up, we turned it on and no problems everything is normal. Now after December 2013, we realized it goes black after leaving on for a long period but need to unplug for hours before getting picture back. We called Toshiba Canada and was told its out of warranty we only use the TV 4 hours per week if that much. We looked up the problem and found many others have similar issues with different Toshiba TVs.

We purchased the Television (Toshiba 42 inch LCD TV) on March 13, 2013 from Costco store in Kapolei, Hawaii. On October 15, after having the picture go out time after time, it went out again and did not come back on. The sound worked fine. We took it to Sam's Electronics in Waipahu, Hawaii as directed by Toshiba on October 15. They promised to send the part in about 10 days. We received a call from Sam's saying that the part was not shipped and the new shipment date is November 15. We called Sam’s on November 26 to ask when we should pick up our television and they said the part was not shipped yet and they gave us a new shipment date of December 2, 2013.

I assume the bulbs are getting too hot as they fail and making the tiny mirrors inside the chip melt. As the chip is getting heated and cooled, the mirrors begins to stick and becomes either stuck open or close giving off a white dot or a black dot. Toshiba will probably go bankrupt over this ordeal considering this was a ‘08 model and clearly Toshiba knew about this issue.

Bought a 40-inch TV for my elderly mother in a nursing home. After a few months, the picture started going out. The sound would stay on but the picture would go out. You would have to turn the TV off for a few hours, then turn it back on to get the picture again. Then not long after the picture would go out again. I was out of town and my 82-year-old mother couldn't carry the TV into Costco to get an exchange on the 90-day in-store warranty. About 4 months after she first bought it, I tried to explain to Costco why she couldn't bring it in sooner. They said sorry and, "You have to deal with Toshiba now."

Toshiba pleasantly surprised me by responding to a grievance note a few days after I submitted my concerns regarding the technical issues of our 42" LED TV. The end result was a technician was sent to our home on 4 separate occasions changing circuit boards until the technical problems with our TV were resolved, no charge. I give the company a lot of credit standing by their product and customer concerns. It is rare to find a company that will repeatedly work at resolving product issues in a professional manner. I will consider purchasing another product by Toshiba considering the good service we received for a TV that was out of warranty for 4 months.

I purchased a Toshiba television in September 2012. After opening the television, it failed to work. I contacted Toshiba and they informed me that they'd repair it. Seven months later, they have yet to either fix or replace my television. I've been calling various times and their customer relations offered me my money back $100 less of what I purchased it for, because it has "depreciated". I've been arguing for a full refund given the fact that I've never had the opportunity to use my television. Days later, I got the offer of a refurbished television. I argued that I should get a new one as it states in their warranty that, "replace the Product with a new or refurbished product that is at least equivalent to the original Product."

I would like to tell you about my experience with Toshiba. I purchased a 55L6200U Smart TV. Right off the bat, the sound wasn't very loud. You have to crank up the volume wide open. I called and asked them about it. They told me that I needed a sound bar to go with TV. This is first time ever I bought a TV with poor volume requiring a sound bar. The TV has several apps built in so I subscribed to Netflix and after getting it, I wanted to try the 3D out on Netflix movies and discovered that the TV has a software issue that requires me to pay for an upgrade of $100.

We purchased a Blu-Ray Player (model #BDX2250KC) in August of 2012. While watching a movie at Christmas time, the picture suddenly disappeared, but the sound continued to work. After trying different disks, and changing HDMI cables, the problem continued, so my husband called Toshiba tech support. He patiently tried the different things that the tech instructed him, with no results. We mailed the unit to Markham, as instructed (at our expense although there is a 1 yr warranty on it), and received a call about a week later, claiming that there was nothing wrong with the unit, and it was being returned to us.

I am constantly having problems with the Toshiba 62HM95 DLP television. The issue I'm having is that it will not also work full screen. I select the 'Split' option on the remote and the picture on the left is fine - absolutely clean and perfect, with audio. The picture on the right is completely distorted in very strange colors (mostly constant variations of purple), with audio as well. You should note that the same video information is fed into different inputs to select for the split. In other words, I feed the cable stream into the TV using the component video (Ybr) as well as the coaxial cable and select both options for the purpose of displaying the same information side-by-side. On screen, I select video option four (4 for color stream HD) and option (0 for cable/antenna). If I highlight either side and select one of them (4 or 0), the screen goes full screen and I see nothing but one solid color of purple.

This Toshiba LCD large panel TV was the worst consumer product I've ever purchased. It lasted less than 2 1/2 years for almost $2000. The panel started getting vertical colored lines through the right 40% of the screen - intermittent at first, then all the time. Authorized TV repair shop said this is common and it needed a new panel which cost as much as the TV did ($1800+). Toshiba first offered to reimburse me $550 for it then pretended nothing had been promised when I told them the TV was in the trash and declared dead by their own authorized repair shop! They're liars, on top of being makers of faulty electronics! Never buy a Toshiba ever. This site tells you why. I am not alone in this experience.

We purchased this Toshiba 42-inch television 4 years ago. It started to have black streaks run through the picture and if the picture was a dark night shot, you couldn't see a thing. We called Toshiba and they said to bring it in to a service center to have it looked at. After paying $50.00 for that, we found out we needed a new panel, which would cost $800, basically the cost of what we paid for the television. I called Toshiba and of course they said nothing could be done about it. Never buy a Toshiba TV!

We have replaced the lamp 3 times in this Toshiba 57HMI TV. We would never buy another Toshiba TV or product. It is a piece of junk. You should be made to replace this product; it costs a lot of money.

I purchased a Toshiba after my Sanyo TV went out (my 1st review is below) and was very dissatisfied with the picture so I turned it back to Walmart and replaced it with a Vizio. And I'm happy with the Vizio and will keep it.

We bought a Toshiba flatscreen TV at Video Only in Jan. 2012. It was seldom used in a spare room. It died in Sept., and we've had three service companies attempt to repair it. Parts have come from Toshiba dead, or the wrong part was sent. The first company replaced parts three times before giving up. Toshiba sent out another repairman, and he was here three times. Today, 11/2612, a third company sent out by Toshiba was sent the wrong panel, so he will be back. How can a company, Toshiba, exist when they provide such terrible service to people who bought their product? I understand electronic products fail, but Toshiba appears to have no respect for their customers and the repairman that try to provide customer service. This company doesn't deserve even a one-star rating.

I purchased a Toshiba TV about 5 months ago and for the past 2 months, it doesn't seem to work. I complained to them but in vain every week, they tell us that they will replace the TV next week. When you escalate the problem, they have the same answer next week. This is the 6th or 7th running next week. Absolutely horrible service. Would never recommend Toshiba to anyone.

TV LCD screen was defective in a year. About 1/2 year later, screen was replaced by Toshiba. Second screen was defective within a year; again, replaced by Toshiba. Third screen was defective. Toshiba refuses to replace because "out of warranty." I've never had a defect free TV for the period of a warranty.

Toshiba Regza HD LCD 42' TV was purchased in 11/2009 at Best Buy. Two years and 10 months later, the picture went out. Toshiba said I had to take it in to an authorized repair person - the board needs replacing. I googled the repair shop they provided and just as I'm reading in these complaints, long wait, expensive repair, and lots of unhappy people. Toshiba should be ashamed. Class Action lawsuit - yeah! Let's hope Toshiba didn't sink all their money into lobbying for building and construction of nuclear power plants! Now that's scary. Never ever another Tosh product!

I purchased my Toshiba TV on January 2, 2012 and it stopped working on July 13, 2012. I called customer service because my TV would not turn on. The power indicator would come on then go off within 30 seconds, but there was no picture or sound. The customer service told me that they would create a work order and I would get an email from Nexicore. They automatically ordered a motherboard without even seeing my TV. Once my part was in, the service provider would contact me within 24 hours to schedule. It took 3 days to schedule an appointment with (Nick). He then told me he had to come to my house before 4PM because he lives on the other side of town and wanted to miss traffic.

I have a 46" Toshiba LED TV which was purchased a year ago and still in warranty. After six months, there is no picture or sound. I called and informed them about the issue. The customer service first assumed that it's the LED panel and took five days to send the part to technician. After another five days, the tech arrived and finally found that the LED panel is good and power supply is the issue. He ordered the part but they said it was not available in stock and it was in backorder. I called after a month. There is no ETA also. When I checked with a manager specialist about the part, he was rude and said that I have to wait until they get the part, which can be month or year. No other way. This is a stupid waste of service/support and a third class product. Don't buy anything in this brand.

I have had my Toshiba TV for almost 4 years. Recently my daughter went to turn it on and there was no picture and now there is no sound. I called and they wanted to charge me 35 dollars just to talk to me and referred me to a place in Lawton (45 min. away) and told me I could get an estimate from them. They have been so unhelpful and rude. You would think they would want to keep their customers satisfied and they don't. I am not the only one that this has happened to. It is the bad thing. My computer that is Toshiba is still under warranty and I am returning it because I don't want the kind of customer service they have to offer when this messes up.

I paid $1200 for a 46" flat screen LCD TV in 2009. Two and a half years later, it began to be very slow to "come on" after being turned off. At a little over 3 years, it would not show a picture or sound when turned on. The power indicator was lit up and the screen changed to a dark purplish black. I took it to an authorized repairman per Toshiba's instructions. $1400 was bid for the repair. No thanks to that repair and no thanks to another Toshiba anything.

I purchased this TV (Toshiba 46" TV Model 46G310U) from Best Buy on 11/4/11, left town for 5 months, came back and the sound on the TV dwindled down to the point where I had to have it to 100 to barely hear it. Toshiba sent a repairman on 6/29/12 who replaced the motherboard. Sound is louder, but still sounds like an AM radio. On 7/28/12, not even a month after the repair, the TV started cutting off and back on, by itself! I called Toshiba again and was told it would be 7-14 days before they would have the necessary part to repair it and schedule someone to come out to fix it again. That's two repairs in under 30 days and the TV isn't even a year old! It's unacceptable! I was also told by a case manager that if the TV needs a 3rd repair, my case might be considered for a replacement TV. How many times do I have to have this thing fixed before they replace it! I'm pissed! Their customer service absolutely sucks!

I had purchased a Toshiba LCD TV model no. 32pb1e on 18.02.12. From 01.06.12 onwards, the TV was full of grains in digital cable connection and in video also. On 04.06.12, I had registered a complaint regarding this. No response from service center or the dealer. Again, I contacted the service center on the days 10.06.12, 14.06.12, 16.06.12 but no response. Nobody came or contacted me. It is very shameful and irresponsible from a reputable company like Toshiba.

In February 2008, we purchased a Toshiba Regza HDTV from a local TV dealer (UV Ultimate Vision) in a nearby town. This dealer has since gone out of business. We paid over two thousand dollars when a year later, in 2009, the set started giving us problems. Our display panel was no good, and since we were still under warranty, they took our set. Two weeks later, we supposedly got a new set back. Well, it just happened again! This time, Toshiba will not even give us the part since we are not under warranty. But the set's giving us the same problem that was supposed to have been fixed, and the repair person told me the part is over a thousand dollars. I will never ever buy a Toshiba product again, and I will make it my business to let everyone I know not to buy their products.

50" LCD Toshiba Regza - We too are victims of Toshiba's extremely poor product and poor customer service. Our 50" LCD TV was purchased from American on October 14, 2007 for $4,000.00 and by May 2010, we had vertical lines on the right side of the screen. We called American and were told to contact the Toshiba company, which we did and were told they would not be able to help us as it was out of warranty (the customer service rep said that she had never heard of any other issues such as ours) but they could refer us to a qualified Toshiba technician.

I had a problem with a rectangular black box covering 1/3 of my screen. After talking to several agents and spending hours on the telephone, the problem was not resolved. Finally, one of the agents contacted a Toshiba representative, my TV. The problem was solved in ten minutes. I incurred many hours on the telephone. The whole situation was time consuming and aggravating. I recommend that these technicians be given a higher level of training because at this point, in my opinion, they are useless. I have to go to a Toshiba technician to have a Verizon problem solved?

We purchased a 32-inch TV on Dec. 2011 and by the middle of March, it gave out. We took it to St. Johns, NL to be repaired and it took 6-7 weeks . At that time, they replaced it with a new one. When we got it home, we hooked it up and that one only lasted about half an hour and that one was giving us trouble. We contacted Toshiba and they had to get back to us. Guess what, still never heard from them. This is definitely not good service. I can guarantee you one thing, I will never buy a Toshiba product again. We purchased a Toshiba product thinking that we had a reliable product and now less than 6 months, it has not been working for two of them. Not good.

I bought a Toshiba 32AV502U TV 3 years ago and within the first year, the power supply board blew. Toshiba said it wasn't under warranty so, I had to travel 50 miles to a Toshiba repair shop. It cost me $150 to get it repaired. A year after that, the TV's power supply board blew again. I am angry that every year I have to keep putting money into this TV. It looks like there are a lot of people with the same complaints. Every time I talk to someone at Toshiba, they say it isn't under warranty anymore.

Like everyone else who submitted complaints, I too am a victim of Toshiba's poor manufacturing and lack of consumer interest. I bought a Toshiba TV in September of 2008, in April of 2012, not even four years later, the screen went black, sound no longer worked and it was completely dead. I called customer service and was told all they could do for me was give me the number for a repair company. I expressed my dissatisfaction and asked them to escalate my concern as there had to be something they could do.

I purchased 32-inch TV for Christmas. It stopped working early March. I called Toshiba service and after a short conversation, they assumed it was a certain part and said a service company would be contacting us to have a repair man come to our house to repair. They would not give us a new TV. Repair service contacted us quickly but did not indicate it was on back order. After almost five weeks and a call each week to Toshiba, we are no closer to knowing when our part is arriving. Toshiba customer service either doesn't care or they have no real process to handle product failures. I just hope the part they assumed will fix the set is correct or it will be a four week wait for nothing. Think hard before you buy Toshiba products!

I bought the TV around Dec. 25, found out it was on backorder. Finally, I received it on Jan. 14th, used it for 34 days until Feb. 17th and it has been at the shop since. My sons purchased a Toshiba 40" HDTV for me for Christmas from Sears. The TV was backordered and didn't arrive until Jan 14, 2012. 34 days later, it completely stopped working. I called Sears thinking that they would replace it for me since it was still brand new, but they refused. I called Toshiba, who told me to bring it into their authorized repair store. I dropped it off and called a couple days later. They told me that they had to order a part. After waiting for a month, I called the repair depot back and was told the part is on backorder.

The TV (46" Toshiba Regza LCD) is 3 years old and we can hardly watch it. It has lines and shadows all over the right side. We paid over a $1000 for it. I called American TV where we bought it and they said there was nothing they could do because it's out of warranty. I will never buy a Toshiba again. I expect when you pay that much, it would last more than 3 years. I will be looking for another TV.

I first contacted Toshiba's repair department on February 21, 2012. My TV had stopped working two months after the manufacturer's warranty expired. I was told that they couldn't help me without the cost of fixing it coming from me. However, I contacted Toshiba's Offices in Irvine, CA and spoke to a very pleasant rep in their Customer Relations department named Celina. She offered me a one-time repair of my TV without any cost to me. She arranged for Nexicore to fix my TV.

Worst TV and company ever. It will not last, defective products, no company integrity, difficult to reach anyone at Toshiba. Do not purchase Toshiba products. They are junk and they do, their company does not back their products. I bought a 52" Toshiba LCD from Costco (this is not a knock on Costco, I am a big fan and I am happy to see they are not carrying as many Toshiba products) for $2000 on 7/2008. It now has vertical lines obstructing the view in the middle of the TV. It is out of warranty, but less than 4 years old. It was not overused or damaged in any way. After weeks of trying to get someone from Toshiba on the phone, I just got off the phone with their management department, who very politely documented my complaint and told me there was nothing they could do since it was out of warranty.

Our 52" LCD Toshiba is now having its motherboard replaced for the third time in 2 1/2 years. We bought it at the CompUSA in Altamonte Springs, Florida. Can anyone please tell me if we have any consumer rights whatsoever with regard to getting a replacement or at the very least, a free extended warranty for another three years to cover the replacement motherboards that will most likely be needed? The Toshiba TV complaints site is packed with complaints about these TVs, yet there does not seem to be any recourse. Does anyone know what rights we have as consumers? If we buy a new car, which constantly needs repair, it is covered under the Florida Lemon Law. What about other goods? Is it worth a bunch of us hiring an attorney to get Toshiba to stand up and take responsibility?

I bought a TV less than 2 years ago thinking that the brand had a good name. How wrong I was. Toshiba did not want to know as it was out of the 12 months warranty. Never buy a Toshiba TV.

I purchased a Toshiba 40" TV on the 2nd of Jan 2012. On the 15th of February 2012, the set stopped working. It would not turn on. I called Toshiba service, which is in Manila and was referred to a service center which is in Victoria, 100KM south of here. I got a call from them to let me know a serviceman would come 4 days later to look at my set. He came and said he would have to take it back to have it repaired. I took the set back to Future Shop and asked for a replacement since they had a policy of returning goods within 30 days of purchase. This was 35 days. They would not exchange it, but said I would have to have it repaired and then bring it back and they would then replace it. I called the service center and made an appointment to have a serviceman come back and repair or take my set.

My LCD television stopped working within 6 weeks of bringing it home from the store. I had to take it to a Toshiba approved depot for fixing. It's now been 4 weeks without my television and I cannot get anyone from Toshiba to call me back. I call and get place on hold for over 10 minutes at a time, just to be told they can't get a hold of a case worker. I have never received such horrible customer service in my life. There is also no way to escalate to higher powers. I am beholden to an entry level analyst. I will never buy or recommend Toshiba. Not because their product broke so soon, but because their customer service is by far the worst I have ever encountered.

I have a 52 inch LCD TV only two and a half years old and half the screen is nothing but colored lines. And no one in my area works on TVs. We gave over $2000 for this TV.

I got this TV from Best Buy. It broke down after 1 1/2 month! I contacted Toshiba for repair. It needs a new main board (brain of the TV, so to speak). And now, it's over a week and they are still waiting for the repair part to arrive and they cannot even tell me when it's going to be fixed. They make thousands of these TVs, and they don't have a repair part? Totally unacceptable. The Nexicore repair department said "order" and "ship" are two different things. The repair part could be back-ordered and they can't come over to fix my TV until they get the part. I demanded that they send me a TV in the interim if they cannot give me an ETA, but they refused. This could go on for months.

I had a Toshiba 42-inch LCD. It was working fine just for a year when the picture just went off. My local technician needs the circuit diagram for this card model to fix it (# 83 47wlt66pb cmos, model no. 4hv1838351/e2).

I purchased an LED 55-inch flat screen TV in November of 2010. In January 2012, 1/3 of the screen was darker than normal. I called Toshiba up and no one could help me. Turns out that I have 4 bad boards and the wires had caught on fire. Had my son not been in the basement, this would have burnt my home down. I have pictures that I would like to send. These items should be on recall before somebody gets hurt.

I bought a brand new 42" Toshiba flat screen from Best Buy on 1/16/12. The first week or so, it made a weird zapping noise which I thought was odd. It did it again a week or two after that. Last night (2/28/12), we had a bad storm in Chicago. When I went to turn it on today (2/29/12), no picture, no sound. It's on a surge protector so I was surprised that the TV wasn't working because everything else on my surge protector was fine. I unplugged it from the surge protector and plugged it into the wall. I turned it off and on repeatedly, but nothing happened. The little green light on the bottom right of the screen would turn on for about 5 seconds and then turn off but still no picture, no sound.

I got a brand new Toshiba 40E210U, hooked it up by Jan 1st 2012. By Jan. 5, one HDMI port died. Great, okay, we will take it in, no problem. A few days later the whole TV dies and won't turn on now. So I took it in, my local repair shop is a great local shop, so they are good, it's Toshiba that's the problem. First they said a couple weeks to mail the part, then a couple more. Well it's been over a month and they say another 4-8 weeks for the part. This is ridiculous. I will never buy Toshiba again and make sure none of my friends or family do either.

I purchased a 46" Toshiba television in March of 2010 from a local Sears store. Shortly after the purchase, the vertical line started to appear on the screen. I contacted Sears and they refused to assist us in any way so we had to take it to a local television repair shop, who could not fix it either. I have been retired for 24 years and live on a fixed income so the idea of replacing this television after having paid over $900 less than two years ago is something that is not possible for us.

I bought a 52" Toshiba HDTV in January of 09, Saturday before the Superbowl of 11. It started having vertical lines over the right half of the TV. Then, Superbowl Sunday, the TV was almost unwatchable, with constantly going to half screen to full screen. I called an authorized Toshiba dealer who came out, and confirmed the worst, a bad panel. He then informed me there is an ongoing problem with the panels, but he said Toshiba was not fixing them out of warranty, but he gave me the phone number for their service line, and said he would install the panel for free, if I could convince Toshiba to replace it. Brina, who I talked to after taking my serial number and putting me on hold, to check if there was an issue. She came back to me in less than three minutes, telling me that there weren't. After telling what the service tech told me, there were issues with the panels, she said there was nothing she could do out of warranty.

I call on 1/17/12. I have my TV. Got line top to bottom of screen. They placed work order and told me repair company will call me in 2 to 3 days. But after 2 weeks no one called me. So I called Toshiba and they issued me a case ID number ask for company phone number. So they give me. I called the repair company and they said your parts have been ordered but is in backorder. So they don’t know when they will be able to fix. So I called again Toshiba. They said the same thing. They advised me to call back in one week. I called on 1/14/12 and talked to case manager. She said fax them the receipt. I told her I lost the receipt. I can not find it. She said then wait for parts. I asked her if company is making TV or anything, why they don’t keep or make parts so customers don’t have to wait? Next time I will never buy anything that is a Toshiba product. This is the second time.

After only 2 years our Toshiba has lines on the right side of the screen for at least half of the screen. I called Toshiba and was told we would have to pay $45, just to talk to one of their techs! I will never, ever buy this or any of their products again.

Like so many others on here and elsewhere, my 2-year old Toshiba Regza 52-inch TV had a defective panel, which would cost over $1000 to fix. Two years old! Finally, I gave up on their so-called customer service ** who could not care less. Never ever buy a Toshiba product. Tell your friends as I am telling you.

I got vertical colored lines on 40% of the screen on this $1,400 2 year old TV. Toshiba customer service actually promised a $575 refund. Then, after finding out TV was in the trash, they refused to acknowledge their own promised refund! They are totally aware of the poor quality (evidenced by the initial refund) then ignore you after you contact them and confront them with the facts of their poor quality product! I’ll never buy a Toshiba product - ever.

After replacing my second bulb in the television, white dots began appearing. Problems with the light engine/DLP chip is failing. Average price is $600 for just the chip. It has quickly progressed from one irritating dot to so many. The TV is unusable. The TV is less than five years old. When you combine that part cost with two bulbs at $250 each, a ridiculous total of $2000 for the TV, two bulbs $500 and the chip in the light engine $600 + labor, it comes to $3100. That is $1100 in parts, plus labor, for a TV less than five years old. It needs to be recalled by the manufacturer and credited or replaced at no cost to the consumer. People have been ripped off.

I have a Toshiba 65HM167 DLP TV which is about 4 years old. It started having the "white dot" issue. I did a lot of research and it seems these TV develop this issue at about the same time. The white dots get worse until they eventually take over the entire screen. Samsung used the same defective part and are repairing their TVs at no cost to consumer. Toshiba, however, apparently denies there's an issue. No one I've spoken to acknowledges they've ever heard of the problem before. Really?! There are hundreds of complains online, so I know I'm not the first, and these issues go back 2-3 years!

Same experience as the others with my Toshiba TV. It worked fine for year and a half and then started getting blue vertical lines lasting approximately 30 minutes. Then eventually TV picture comes on. Very disappointed.

My TV is only 2 and half years old and like many others on here I see that many have the same white specks. I'm afraid to fix it!

I bought two Toshiba LCD TVs end of Sept. 2009. We did not get the extended warranty on the smaller 37" one. We thought with Toshiba being a very good brand we shouldn't need it. Ha! After a little over 2 years, the screen started going black but still had sound. Called Toshiba & they referred me to an authorized service joint. They told me the main board & power supply had both gone bad & it would cost $400 to fix. Since we only paid $600 for the TV, I told them thanks, but, no thanks.

In late December 2009, we purchased 2 Toshiba flatscreen TVs (different models). Within a couple of months one of them developed a major problem with the audio and it was taken to a local authorized repair company. We were told it needed to be retrofitted with a part as that particular model, as it turned out, had a specific audio problem. Approximately six months later, having spent the entire time fighting with Toshiba to get the set fixed or replace it with another, Toshiba finally replaced it with a different model since no point giving us the same defective model we bought.

We purchased a 62" Toshiba projection television model number 62MX195 in 2006 . The first light bulb when out 4 times. They lasted a year. They did cover the first 2 (mind you, this was under extended warranty that began in 4/19/2007, and ended 4/19/11). After that the first two, they said they wouldn't cover the new replacement bulbs. Then, in Dec 2011, we noticed a funny noise, and the television has a red ghost to it. We had a repairman come out on Dec 27,2011. He said it was the color wheel, and it had to be replaced. It cost $195.00 for him to come out, $400.00 for the part, and $195.00 for labor. The repairman suggested we call Toshiba to see if they would at least cover the part, even though we were out of warranty, which we did, and they said no.

I purchased a 37" Regza Toshiba Television 4 years ago. Last night, the screen blinked and then went black. Now, when I turn the TV on, the sound comes on, the screen blinks and turns black. It is now an $800.00 paper weight because the Toshiba technician informed me that it appears as though the panel is bad. Not a good product.

I purchased a Toshiba Blu-Ray player model BDX2700KU on 12/18/2011. The unit will not connect to WiFi, making applications, such as NetFlix unusable. The customer service reference numbers given to me were 111219-000252 and 111219-006302. The number of calls to Toshiba exceeded 10, over a period of 5 days. I was consistently assured that a senior technician would call me back, which never happened. On the last phone call, the representative stated that his senior technician was aware of the problem, and that they would replace the unit since it is still under warranty, and that someone from their warranty department would call back within 48 hours. Again, this has not happened. I am seeking a replacement of the unit, and I will return current unit upon receipt.

I purchased a Toshiba LCD 52xv545u TV about two years ago and it started having segmented ghosting that was intermittent at first and got progressively worse. A trip to an authorized Toshiba repair center resulted in a diagnosis of a failed or defective panel with a repair estimate of $1,050. Calls to Toshiba's "no customer service" resulted in a refusal to stand behind the defective product. I hope to pursue a small claims suit or join in a class action suit against Toshiba.

I have a 46"(46RV530U) I believe is the TV description. I have had the TV less than 3 years. It started with a vertical red line about 3 or 4 months ago on the left side of the TV. Now they are on both sides of the TV about 2 inches of each side. I didn't know when you spent over a thousand dollars on a TV that they didn't last 3 years functioning properly. I have not called to find out how much it is to fix because I have read all your complaints. I can't handle any more bad news and would love to sue these crooks! Can't anyone make anything they stand behind anymore? Toshiba you suck and stop making junk! Never Buy Toshiba TVs!

A little over two years ago I purchased a Toshiba 32-inch Regza HDTV and loved it so much I purchased a bigger 40-inch Toshiba HDTV. Now our 32-inch Toshiba has very dark and blurry picture that is waves of blue and red. When you turn it on, lots of colored lines are all over the screen going up and down. After reading all these complaints, I am afraid to call for a service technician for fear it will cost me more than I paid for it, which was $749.00. Also after reading all these complaints, I am wondering how long it will be before our other new Toshiba HDTV goes bad. I will be calling a service technician and if I get bad news, I to would like to join a class action suit. I think they knew about this problem and put the TV's on the market anyway. Then they tell you that you are SOL.

Two years after buying a Toshiba 52-inch Regza LCD TV, it developed 4-inch vertical lines down middle of the screen. Toshiba would not help cover cost of repairs.

Same story as everyone else. We paid dearly for the 52" Toshiba and less than two years later, it has lines all over the left side. Also at times, it's just a big white box on the left side of the screen. I also have one in my bedroom that is newer. I guess now I just wait for that one to go bad also.

I can't believe I stumbled upon all these exact same complaints as my story. But it's the same thing. I bought my Toshiba Regza 52" (model 52XV545U) at the beginning of December 2008 brand-new. I set up the TV the day I bought it in one spot in my home and have never moved it since. Earlier this year, I started to see weird horizontal lines across the screen, but they're mostly concentrated on the right lower side. They would go away if I tapped the TV. This would happen maybe once a week.

The Toshiba 50 inch plasma 50HP66 has a thin red line that just started down the center of the screen after only 2 years of use. We don't even watch the TV that much and I find it pretty remarkable that it is happening to everyone at the same time. Toshiba should either replace or refund.

We purchased a Toshiba Regza 52" (52RV535U), and within 2 years of purchase, vertical lines started appearing intermittently on the left side of the screen. Eventually, the issue became permanent, and the television is of no use. We contacted Sixth Ave. to confirm if we have an extended warranty, and they said we did, and they sent a technician for an evaluation. They advised us we needed a control board, and that we did not purchase a warranty, after they told us we did have one.

Same old story that I've read on previous posts. My Toshiba Regza 52RV535U 52-inch LCD TV has gone bad again. I purchased it new in December 2008. It developed the vertical, multi-colored banding over 1/3 of the screen approximately 18 months later. To my surprise, I was provided a refurbed 52R535U. I considered myself fortunate, especially with all of the run-around everyone else is getting. Now, approximately 18 months later, again the banding has returned. I spent over $1,700 for a television that I barely got 3 years out of. I feel that Toshiba knew about this problem and continued to put it out for consumers to get "suckered in to." Add my name to any class action lawsuit that arises from this. It is too common of a problem for this to go unchallenged by us, the consumers, who bought an expensive item with the belief that it would last.

I bought a Toshiba 55” LCD TV model #55G300U about 19 months ago and it was working fine until recently. My problem is, first, my picture flickered for a couple seconds and then it went dark, not completely dark, but not as bright as before. I'm thinking the backlight burnt out.

I bought a 46-inch Regza 2 years ago "POS" and the screen comes on then goes black. All I get is a sound every time I turn it off and on. It turns on then after a few seconds, it goes black again and all I get is sound. I called the supposed customer support and as soon as I mention my Regza TV isn't working, the phone line goes dead. I want to be in the class action suit. My contact email is **.

I bought a 55" LED Toshiba (55SL417U) on September 24, 2011. TV went out December 10, 2011 (less than three months). I could not register the warranty online or through Toshiba technical support. I had to wait for the warranty department to open (Mon-Fri; 8 am to 4). Service was supposed to be scheduled but never got a call, so I called them. They are waiting for the part that could take 14 days to come in. Toshiba customer service sucks. They won't call you when they say they will and will hang up on you if you push for results. Bad product and terrible customer service.

We purchased a 40 inch LCD TV (40E200U) seven months ago and it stopped working. I called Toshiba because it was still under warranty. They told me they would send a repairman out but did not give a time frame. It took 10 days for him to come out. He brought parts that Toshiba told him would fix the TV even though no one had ever looked at it. The parts did not fix the TV and he had to ask for the parts that would fix it. That took another 10 days. I called Toshiba back and complained and was told that after 20 days, I would get a replacement voucher for a new TV. But after 21 days when I called, they said that it was actually 30 days and that began after each part was ordered. If they (Toshiba) eventually decides that the TV is costing too much to repair, only then would I get a new TV. This is not good customer service and I will never purchase a Toshiba product again.

I have the same problem as many others do on this website. A Toshiba piece of junk (MN52RV535U) that I paid $800 for 3 years ago and the LCD panel is bad. Toshiba needs to repair this TV's at no cost. Their referenced repair facility wants $1600 to do this repair. Toshiba refuses to even help any with this problem. This is ridiculous and some lawyer needs to get in this game and hold them accountable on a class action suit. I will never buy anything Toshiba sells and I am spreading the word to all my friends and relatives to do the same. I had a similar problem with a Mitsubishi TV 3 years ago and they furnished all the parts to repair my TV. All I paid was the labor. It also was out of warranty, but Mitsubishi understood their TV should last longer than 3 Years. Whatever happened to complete customer satisfaction? The repair facility wants over $1600 to repair the TV with no help or consideration or complete customer satisfaction from Toshiba.

We purchased our TV in November 2008 from Rex TV. It is a 60 inch Toshiba model #65hm167, and it has white dots all over it. I called Toshiba, and they will not do anything about this problem. I would love to be involved in a class action suit for this issue. We paid close to $2,000.00 for it, to only last 3 years. That's crazy. They said it is out of warranty. I heard the repair is around $800-$900.

Toshiba makes a poor television and does not stand behind it. Their "customer service" is completely apathetic toward the customers' needs. I will never buy anything else with the Toshiba label on it.

I received an email from Toshiba requesting I participate in their product review. I spent 25 minutes on it. I have been inundated with telemarketers calling me since, especially at work. I have been asking to not be called. The calls continue mostly from California. I trusted Toshiba to safeguard my contact information. I am very dissatisfied with this experience. I'm not sure what you can do about it, but I wish you could rectify the damage done.

I bought a new Toshiba LCD TV (52RV53U). It’s been over 2 years now and half the TV picture went out. About 6 months ago, I contacted Toshiba and they basically told me that I am out of luck and that they have not had any problems with that TV in the field. They will not do anything to help me unless I want to buy a new LCD screen for my TV at a price of $1700.00. I checked the net and found what seems like every one of these TVs has the same problem and Toshiba will not fix it for their customers.
