Toshiba 55LF711U20 55-inch Smart 4K UHD
The dolby vision is just average on this tv, tcl actually performs better in this price range with there roku tvs on hdr and dolby vision content, but this is an overall very good picture at this price point. The biggest problem is the hdmi arc connection just won’t work properly therefore if you plan on connecting a soundbar that requires it, for instance to playback dolby atmos, dts-hd master audio, dolby truehd, or do 4k pass-through, forget it. It will be bringing up the volume control display every minute or so and the audio will even dropout periodically. I have tried three sound bars from two different brands, anker and yamaha, and they both had the same issue. Most concerning is that toshiba and best buy both refuse to take responsibility for this issue, trying first to lay it off as the responsibility of the speaker manufacturer having an incompatibility then straight up telling me they won’t even generate a replacement or repair order for arc because it is unreliable, so it’s the fault of the technology they’re claiming, not their fault. When i asked the guy they sent out to my house what all the other people who use sound bars w/ hdmi do, he told me “use optical”. I informed him you can pass atmos and dts-hd over optical and the previous soundbar i had attached had 4k pass-through and atmos, so how was i supposed to use it?. On that note, stay away if you plan on using the hdmi arc, sound bar or anything like that.
What do you do when you need a new tv, but your budget only allows for a few hundred bucks?. You shop prime day for the best deals. I had my choices narrowed down to this set, the tcl, and the hisense h8f. The tcl’s weren’t discounted much, and the hisense not at all, but this one was. Even though last year’s model had some sketchy reviews, i gambled on the 2019 toshiba 55′ fire tv edition with dolby vision. I was expecting to be disappointed. The picture is incredibly good, and bright, for a budget tv. It’s more than adequate for family viewing and gameplay, and is a drastic improvement over our old 720p vizio plasma that we’ve had for years. And the built-in fire tv system is the bomb.
I waited a year to leave this review, full disclosure. I bought one 14 months ago and two months latter it completely stopped working. After weeks of back and forth between best buy and amazon customer service i finally was able to ship that tv back and get it replaced with the one i currently have. I can honestly say after owning this latest tv for just over a year i love it. I am one of these people that is fully engulfed in the amazon ecosphere. I do not have cable, i do not use an antenna, i am 100% amazon video, hulu, netflix etc and it works perfectly for me. With each update it only gets better. If you are a true cord cutter this is the tv for you. I do not understand why people would buy this tv that still rely on cable?.This tv is all about streaming.
