Review: Fantastic picture quality and smooth performance! - I’m really impressed with the Toshiba 55QF5D53DB QLED 4K Smart Fire TV! The picture quality is sharp, vibrant, and offers great contrast, especially when watching 4K content. The smart features work seamlessly with easy access to streaming apps like Netflix and desertcart Prime. The setup was straightforward, and the remote is user-friendly. The sound quality is decent, though I’d recommend a soundbar for a more immersive experience. Overall, it’s an excellent TV for the price with great value for streaming and gaming. Highly recommended!
Review: Much better than expected - My old 50" plasma tv uses around 500w so is expensive to run. Due to the energy crisis I used my laptop for tv stuff and the projector in a dedicated room for occasional movies which deserve to be bigger, better and more epic, but really wanted something that was energy efficient for some tv shows that I wanted to see in the lounge larger than the laptop and with surround sound etc. Energy prices had kinda made me reticent to use the plasma, plus HDR would be nice which the plasma couldn't do. I wanted something fairly basic at around £400+, but reviews ended up with me looking at a more expensive U7 Hisense or even an LG OLED if I wanted something more like the plasma in image quality, so when Argos had this 65" tv on offer for £307 with 10% of, I figured £276 including delivery would be a good stop gap and better than the laptop for general tv etc which would be it's main use. The plasma had a large border so this 65" tv with it's thin border isn't much larger. Out of the box it's very bright and uses a lot more energy than the 85w its spec suggests for SDR. It's too bright, overly sharpened and colours are over saturated and unnatural. It gives people a kind of plastic look. As I will use the tv mostly in the evening, I found reducing the back light to around 25% uses approx 60w, and in natural colour mode and with the sharpness turned down to 5 it looks a lot more analogue and natural. Black levels are better than expected too, despite the low native contrast (helped by the reduce back light level), and I can't say that image noise due to poor compression/processing etc with streaming content has yet to be noticeable (the brighter the image, the more likely it will be visible). Putting it into local dimming mode increases energy and contrast but works quite well (blooming might be an issue but haven't used it enough to notice any yet). Will probably use that for sci fi stuff and HDR rather than normal tv content. I have to manually change between those modes so some presets on the remote would have been useful. At 500w the plasma uses a kW every two hours. With my current settings this 65" Toshiba tv uses a kW every 16 hours, which is way more than I would ever use in a day (maybe 3 or 4 hours a day at most), so although energy consumption is 5 or 6 times more than the laptop (around 11w when the battery isn't charging, and 30w when it is), it uses just a few pence for a few hours use and barely adds anything to the bill (approx 5p or 6p a day if I use it), especially compared to the plasma. Two hours on the plasma is like almost a weeks use on this 65" tv for me. Only negatives would be the FireTV interface. It seems a little slow and clunky, but I could use my Roku 4K instead if I found it too cumbersome. It took some time to set up. It did a firmware update immediately, and later one for the remote. Despite looking everywhere and even Googling, I couldn't see how to add this device to my desertcart account, so ended up using the remote to manually type in my details. One issue some people may find is the on/off and control button is on the bottom underneath the tv screen. If that's where you have a centre speaker or sound bar you won't be able to use the button (most will use the remote anyway), and you'll have to make sure there is enough gap between the two or it can accidentally operate the button after it warms up. Mine did that - it scrolled down through the menu and then switched off the tv before I worked out what was going on. Other than those minor quibbles there's not much wrong with it. I didn't have the HDMI issue some people had with the set not seeing connected devices. Maybe I connected thigs up in the right order to avoid that issue without realising. More luck than judgement. As an alternative to the laptop and as a replacement to the Plasma (which still throws a very nice picture) I couldn't be more pleased. Very energy efficient, good natural colours and contrast and an overall image that is far better than expected when set up. Unbelievable value for money. I really can't see me buying an OLED any time soon just for tv stuff.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ fantastic TV for this price
*by A***N on 13 September 2024*

Review after a month, I was initially skeptical about this product, knowing it might not match the quality of brands like Sony or Samsung. However, this TV is impressive and performs quite well in terms of its budget and features. I would have given it five stars if not for the sound quality it does decent as it is doulby atmos but sometimes you have to swap the sound to get the speaking voice in clarity, the picture and screen are vibrant, and the 4K resolution looks fantastic. The operating speed when switching between apps is decent, without being too slow. 65-inch is massive and feels like a mini home theater for me but eventually, we got used to the screen size.
