[Mister Rog]

Well, after all I said SWMBO has been on about us getting a smart TV. At present we only have stupid TVs.

Tesco 49" smart TV with all all sorts of crap that I probably won't use, £269. Unable to find exact specs on internet, but box says 4k Ultra HD blah blah blah, and I do like the way Toshiba TVs work, so done. I asked about scart and was told that almost everything these days is HDMI, so there goes my VHS player !

So probably a Hisense TV then (Toshiba don't make TVs, they just license the brand to others)

They usually have 1 scart socket as they are targeted at the low markets

Hmm, ok. I've been buying Toshiba TVs for years. I just like the way they work. Anyway, this is the model Tesco £269. Not set it up yet, so no comments for or against. I'm not one of these fussy people who debate screen resolutions etc for ages. I'm sure it will be fine for the price and do what I require.

It’s fairly well known tosh are going up the shitter almost as fast as John Lewis.

So I’d not bother with the warranty

Sorry to be pedantic, but surely that's down the shitter? Unless you suffer from a very unusual physical impediment, in which case I apologise for being unsympathetic.

I,ve got a Toshiba Regza that my late SIL    gave us when she upgraded to some monster set or other. It,s ok apart from an annoying chassis rattle at a certain soundtrack frequency. Tried changing the settings on sound menu to no avail and forums have loads of people with the same gripe.

[BazaJT]

So why in most places does "Black Friday" last a week at least?

[Bigron]

I have a similar model, ronnyd, and the sound is dreadful from its tiny sixpenny internal speakers, so I feed the audio out into a separate amplifier and speakers.
More annoying than that is its reluctance to come out of standby unless I switch it off at the mains and nack on again. Toshiba know of the problem, and have no cure. Others have reported similarissues - does yours do it as well?

Can,t say i,ve had that happen Ron lad. It sometimes changes channel when the hard drive recorder starts to record. Heap of shite really, just too stingy to get a new one while it,s still working (mostly) ok.

Our Bush TV, is 15 years old. Works fine. No 4k,no hd, and not smart.  Doesn't have valves just.
