We had been on the lookout for an LED for a long time. We wanted 100hz and full hd as a minimum but also coveted a glass fronted model but the Sony ones we'd seen were very expensive so we were delighted to find Toshiba did one too. This glass-fronted tv is very good looking and we think slimmer than the Sony. We read some reviews that the sound wasn't good but for a super-slim LED where there obviously isn't much room the sound is as good as can be expected. What we were a bit disappointed by is the very slow response time and the clickyness of the super-size remote. However, we would probably still buy it if we'd known. We bought the dongle for internet tv (BBC iPlayer and youtube) but have not been impressed - it's obviously still in the teething stages. We hope it gets a software upgrade at some point if this is possible. Most of the time we still plug in our laptop to get iPlayer but when it works it's good albeit a bit cumbersome with the navigation via the remote.

5.0 out of 5 stars Toshiba 40VL758B LED TV 8 Aug 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I recently purchased the Toshiba 40VL758B LED TV from Amazon, having spent quite a considerable length of time searching all the reviews that I could and also going to stores that had the TV on display. With a limited budget I knew what I wanted and I have always researched a future purchase quite vigorously as I do not like buying items on the spur of the moment only to find that it wasn't what you wanted. I knew that from a quality point of view that there would be no problem with Toshiba, but I had read some poor reviews on this TV, it must be noted however that most of the reviews were comparing it to TV's almost double the price and in some cases a lot more.

One of the main area's of concern was the sound quality, but after comparing the Toshiba to other higher priced TV's I came to the conclusion that the sound Navi 5 band equalizer could be used to tweak the sound output to an acceptable tone. I also had concerns with WLM-10U2 Dual Band WLAN Adapter as the reviews indicated that there was a problem with getting this side of the TV up and running, but I thought for the additional price of the adapter if this was a problem area then if things did not work out it was not a great expense.

I have now been using the TV for nearly 2 weeks and I must confess that I am over the moon with it, the picture quality is stunning and the sound quality is satisfyingly good. The design of this TV is quite exceptional as the front is a one piece of glass with a matching glass covered stand, there are no buttons or switches on the front, but there are touch sensors that react to your fingers and light up when you activate them.

4.0 out of 5 stars 40vl758B Jacob Jensen design a problem 15 Sep 2011
By EssCee
Accidentally toppled my favourite old Sony TV(inc surround sound speakers) in my bedroom onto the floor & it had to be consigned to the recyclying plant.(din`t claim on my insurance) Moved a 37 inch wall mounted Toshiba Regza from the "family room" to the bedroom and after a lot of searching decided on the 40VL758B. Delivery via DHS was excellent, set up was easy by following the on screne instruction. I knew the sound would be a liitle bit thin in camparison to my main Sony with a surround system (Onkyo AV receiver and Kef speakers, but the big dissapointment was the JJ full glass front design. Looks impressive, but because of where I have to wall mount the TV (no option)there is a huge reflective light, almost like a mirror that makes viewing difficult during the day. Excellent picture when the room is dark. Tweeking around with the equalizers improves the quality of the sound as with the viewing options.
Excellent LED TV, but if anyone is thinking about buying, just make sure any light coming into the room is from the rear of the TV. Surprised that this, in my view, a problem hasn`t been noted before

4.0 out of 5 stars Stunning good looks, can be a bit slow 24 Mar 2012
By Seren Ade HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER

This is a really beautiful TV - a purchase I'm really glad to have made. It's elegant, well-designed and has a minimal profile.

Both stand and TV provide cool, glass lines rather than the wedges of plastic so typical of current TV housings. Indeed, the entire front panel is glass - with no plastic housing on the outside adding bulk to the panel. Front to back, the TV is very slim indeed, at around a centimetre deep.

The picture quality is phenomenal. Beautiful, crisp, clear images with HD playback that's so clear you could practically touch what's on screen. The sound quality isn't quite as good - but is nonetheless not bad for the inbuilt speakers on display. The inbuilt TV guide, though generally well-laid out, can be very slow to load.

In my view, the biggest drawback is the remote - a standard Toshiba jobbie that hasn't been redesigned to accompany the panel - which is plasticey and lacks the clean lines of the TV. That said, it's easy to use and has large and clearly labelled buttons.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great TV for the money ! 6 Nov 2011
I just purchased this TV in October 2011 and really can't fault it for the price that i paid. After ordering the TV it arrived 2 days later and the glass panel on the front was smashed badly, so it had to be returned.It was collected the following day and a replacement followed 2 days after and this was ok. After checking the contents i found that the wireless dongle was not there even though it says the dongle is included in the advert. I then contacted Amazon 4 times asking for them to send the dongle but they just said according to their product discription it was not included, but i could purchase it seperately for around £40 if i wanted it. I looked at the Toshiba product discription for the same TV and this also stated that the dongle was included so i contacted them and they were more than happy to send it to me free of charge. All in all a great product with lots of features which works with my Windows 7 laptop for steaming pictures and videos to the TV without all the wires.
A big thanks to Toshiba for great customer service, but thumbs down to Amazon for theirs.
