Pros & Cons

Pros

Toshiba 75" 75C350KU LED 4K UHD Fire TV. Bought the Toshiba 75" C350 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV (75C350KU) for $499.99 on December 18th from Best Buy. I set the delivery for 12/24 so that I could find the television in a store and cancel if it did not meet expectations. Even the stores that stocked this set did not have it on display, so this review is after having the television in my home for a week. I was very impressed with the packaging. The box comes in two pieces -- a short base and a tall 'cover' held together with four plastic clips which can be reused if the set is returned. The set was held firmly in the middle of the box by Styrofoam packaging with an air filled 'pillow' and cardboard protection between the screen and the box. Hard plastic strips protected the screen from careless handholds. A plastic sheet that covered the screen was easily removed without leaving any kind of residue. Out of the box, no dead pixels, no physical damage, and nothing missing. Good start. I attached the stand, plugged in power, and powered on the set. Once I logged in to Amazon, I could access my antenna via an Amazon Recast -- wirelessly. Upscaling on this set is outstanding. SD looks great. From the westerns of the 50s and 60s to the dramas of the 80s and 90s to modern HD programming, everything is clear and properly sized/scaled. Then I plugged the TV into my antenna. The picture quality was better than through the Recast. UI was still Fire TV. For television, I can choose a grid style guide that integrates antenna and streaming. Top of the screen is a description of the selected show. I like that. So, I plugged in a TiVo. The TiVo autoscales to 1080p. It looked almost as good as the antenna. Good enough for me to choose the TiVo input over the antenna input...sometimes. New Year's Eve, I was hopping among inputs watching a New Year's Celebration and the 1080i programming looked great via the Recast, the TiVo, and straight from the antenna. For the most part, I am watching the antenna plus streaming media via the Fire TV grid style guide. Audio is very good. There are two 10w speakers. I'm not an audiophile, but they sound fine to me. My desk is on the same wall as the television in my bedroom. From my desk, the viewing angle is probably around 160 degrees. The viewing angle of this television is excellent. Not as bright as head on, but very watchable. The remote resembles a Fire TV remote. It is about half an inch longer. There are four additional buttons for TV control -- channel up/down, guide, recents, and quick settings. There are also four additional buttons for Prime, Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu. The remote contains a mic and the TV is Alexa enabled. On a couple of occasions, pressing a remote navigation button once has caused multiple actions. There are four HDMI ports, one USB port, one LAN/Ethernet port, one digital audio out port, one RF input (antenna), one headphone out, and one AV input. Movies, music, and pictures can be played off a device attached to the USB port. The port powers drives that require up to 500mA. I am using the port to power a Roku that requires 5V/1A. No problem -- not even the expected Roku INSUFFICIENT POWER warning. The TV has a Native refresh rate of 60Hz with a Motion Rate of 120Hz. I did not experience motion blur watching basketball or football. Hockey will be the ultimate test. Documentation is less than sparse and completely unnecessary. Complete specs are available on the Toshiba web site. If this television proves to be durable, it was a steal for $500.

Great Value But Has Some Inconveniences. The size and picture quality for the cost is pretty unbeatable. It's a great screen, colors look great, bevel is thin. It's got all the apps we could ever want. It's been a really solid tv. That being said there are a couple things to know. You'll definitely want some kind of a sound bar with this. The audio coming straight out of the tv sounds like it's coming out of a tin can. And the most annoying thing—for whatever reason the "motion smoothing" feature always kicks on by default. So if the tv puts on the screen saver mode (which kicks on very fast), motion smoothing kicks on automatically. And a lot of times, even when you go to the settings, it'll say that it's off. So then you just have to turn it on and then off again and it's fine. We've gotten very fast at accessing this in the advanced settings. Not the end of the world, just annoying. If motion smoothing doesn't bother you, this won't be an issue for you. If the sound was better and the motion smoothing wasn't an issue, this would be a 5-star tv for sure.

Very Pleased with this Purchase. If you are looking for a review of the latest technology features of this product and a discussion of how its controlled via a dozen interconnected electronic devices linked through WI-Fi and Bluetooth so the TV can be turned on and the channel selected while your auto driving car is self parking itself in your "smart house", this review is certainly to disappoint you. There are those who demand and use every feature on their "Smart TV's" and then there are those of us who simply watch TV and want it simple to use. Turn it on, pick the channel and watch. My wife and I are in this we "want it simple and have it work" group. Truth is, we probably won't or don't use 90% of the electronic features and probably never will. We simply want a very good picture, an easy to use remote or control method and the item to be reliable. This TV has not disappointed us and we are very pleased with this purchase. Purchased during Prime Days, I was very pleasantly surprised to learn this TV was to be delivered via Best Buy's Geek Squad, the very next day after purchase. When I received the email from Best Buy, they asked me to select a delivery time of either 7am to 1pm or 1pm to 8pm. I selected the later delivery option. Less than 24 hours after purchase, the Geek Squad van pulled into the driveway at 9am, with the TV. I was a little surprised they had never called me, but the delivery time worked out fine. The two young men delivering the TV set stated that they hoped the "earlier delivery time" would be OK and since we happened to be home, it was. They carried the TV box right into the upstairs bedroom where it was to be installed. They mentioned that if I had purchased an optional service through Best Buy that they would have installed the TV, including mounting the TV on the wall mount (if desired) and that they would also remove and dispose of our old TV, which had been purchased through Best Buy many years earlier. The one young man doing most of the talking pulled out his phone and checked to see if it was possible to "add this upgrade" to the Amazon purchase while they were in the house, so they could handle the removal of the old TV and set up the new set. He did state that the package from Best Buy which included these optional services apparently couldn't be added to my purchase since it was a Prime Day Special, but I could add the option by going directly to Best Buy's website. The purchase of this optional package provided a number of benefits including in home service, etc. The TV works great, it was very helpful to have it delivered and placed right where it belongs and it was very helpful to have the old TV removed and properly disposed of, as it was a struggle for the two delivery men to get it down the stairs and out of the house, there is no way I could have done it on my own and what would I have done with it, if I could get it removed from the house? There is an electronics recycle firm within an hours drive from our home, where you have to pay them to take the electronics. It requires you must transport the items to their facility and the old TV was 5' tall and nearly 6' wide and nearly a foot deep at it's base and weighed at least 175 pounds. It would require a trailer to get the set to the recycling center, assuming of course, one is able to get the old item out of their home on their own. Instead, for one fee, the entire situation was resolved and within minutes, my new TV was set up and all of the packaging removed along with the old TV set. Plus, the optional Best Buy package had numerous other benefits, including in home service on the new TV etc. The TV works great, the delivery experience exceeded my expectations and the set up of the new TV plus the removal of the prior TV and all new TV packaging, made the purchase superb. I am glad to see Amazon and Best Buy working together in this way. Their collaboration made the purchase an even greater deal and wonderful experience.........

Great for the money. I purchased this tv about a month ago to replace my previous tv that died unexpectedly. I wanted something cheap and this was cheaper than my old tv and bigger! It's perfect for my small apartment. Pros- easy to use, easy to set up, all of the apps are built into the tv so it makes things much more seamless. Cons- the color! I don't know what it is, but when I watch live tv (cable) the color is off. It's not all shows but there is definitely a difference in the picture color quality. This is not an issue with any of the streaming apps at all. Also the sound when using cable is much lower than when using the apps. It's a very weird thing I have tried to fix several times. I also don't like that I can't set the tv up to always turn on to the cable. It always turns on to the home app screen which is fine but a bit annoying because I have to always have both remotes with me for the tv. But it's a great tv. Very affordable.

Overall excellent TV at any price. Bought this TV to replace a several years old Samsung 65" TV. As much I enjoyed the Samsung TV, the picture quality on this Toshiba TV is so much more vibrant and brighter. A few months ago bought the size 55" model of this TV which then led me to buy this 75". As always I set the picture to Movie mode, with super resolution turned on, and dynamic contrast set to low Pros: - Great picture quality with vibrant colors, excellent contrast, and sharp bright picture - Smooth fast action on both HDMI (60 HZ) and non-HDMI (120 HZ) - Sound quality with Bass and Treble turned up to max, TruVolume turned on, and DTS Virual:X set to Medium rivals my Excellent Sony soundbar with nice bass and clear dialog - Have noticed no issues with up-scaling non-4K sources - Mutli-screen feature works great. You easily can switch amongst what sources you currently and have been watching - Absolutely no issues with speed and TV's responses when playing games with or without using HDMI inputs - Material quality seems quite high and the TV well made - Amazon Fire TV has excellent ease of use and TV setup - For those who whine about this essentially being a Hisense TV, well, all TV panels these days are made by a few manufacturers. Manufactures buy these panels and then customize the rest of the TV to their specs - You can spend far more on a similar size TV, but not sure if you would get much more value Cons - For functions that require much screen traversing, I miss the Samsung TV's cursor like remote

Great so far. Picture is great, sound not amazing but we use a soundbar and surround. Which sometimes it has issues automatically connecting to but usually solved by turning it off and back on. Many have commented on the remote pooping out after a couple weeks. This did happen to us, first the mic search stopped working then the whole remote. This was solved by changing the batteries... hopefully other folks checked that eventually.

Cons

Product great but delivery needs work. Best Buy had a problem with on time delivery. But when we finally received the product it was great for the price. Delivery guys did a great job delivering the product. Thank you.

Was defected. The item we ordered was defective the aerial connection was extremely loose and would not hold a signal returned it and bought one from Best Buy direct much happier with that one no issues great buy from Best Buy

Remote control doesn’t always works. The remote control doesn’t work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn’t. It’s random. We made sure we bought different brand of new batteries and it just doesn’t badge Not happy about it! What good is a good tv with a not working remote control! Sometimes I just leave it as it freezes and use my tv upstairs

Meh. Picture quality is great, but the sound quality is kind of terrible. Sound just bounces off the wall behind it. It sounds a little better when you move it further away from the wall, but I haven't ever had this issue with a TV before. I do like that you can talk to the remote and so far the tv seems pretty nice. I just recommended getting a soundbar for it.

Arrived damaged. Screen damaged

Seems OK up front.... Read some varying reviews on this and took the plunge for Prime day becasue we needed a replacement for the bedromm unit that was going out. This is a good looking tv with minimal bezel top and sides and a small "banner" at the bottom. The quality is per the price paid. Its not mega quality. THe re are minor backlighting blemishes in the corners but what would you expect for $300? One thing to note that happened with ours and I couldnt find any fix via a google search but turning the tv on prompted with a language setting screen. While the tv turned on and off fine the remote wouldnt work to select any option (up or down) or select the desired language (ok) The only indication was that if the remote was not paired with the tv, it would prompt to press a button to pair, but it was already paired becasue it turned on & off. WITH 100% LUCK I FOUND TO HOLD THE HOME BUTTON FOR 5-10 SECONDS UNTIL IT BEEPED AND THEN I COULD CHOOSE THE LANGUAGE OPTION AND PROGRESS TO USE THE TV AS NORMAL. This unit fine for what I need (a bedroom tv) the picture is sufficient and the audio is average. If youre looking for more quality, spend more money. Edit: Another issue that has come up is the remotes middle and right side buttons stop working after a while. Weird! We use the sleep function which is accessed via the bottom middle settings button. The only way to remedy it is to either unplug and replug the unit (forcing a restart) or somehow manage to get to the restart option in the settings menu (more a pain that unplug/replug) While it might seem minor you would expect these basic functions to work. -1 more star!
