Toshiba – 55″ Class C350 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV

Was wanting an inexpensive, good quality replacement TV for my home office (not my “main” TV): mission accomplished. This TV has a lot of features that you might not find on a similarly priced budget TV; like Dolby HDR and HDR10 (for enhanced picture quality) and Atmos (for enhanced audio quality). It also features an abundance of connectors, including (but not limited to): HDMI 2.1 (3), USB 2.0 (2) and digital optical. It even has a headphone jack and an ethernet port in case you can’t or don’t want to use Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. According to Best Buy, the TV I purchased is a newer version of the 55” C350 Series (Model Number 55C350LU); it became available in late May of 2023. Don’t really know what the difference is from the older 2021 version (Model Number 55C350KU). According to the online product descriptions, mine seems to have one less HDMI port (3 vs. 4), but all are now the more advanced HDMI 2.1 ports (3 vs. 1). Whatever the differences are, I’m guessing they’re relatively minor. (BTW, at the time of this writing, the posted Best Buy photo showing the back of this TV may not be accurate; the back of my TV looks exactly like the photo posted for the 2021 model, and yes, my TV has a label with the 2023 model number.) My only small complaint is that the VESA mounts for this TV are 200 mm X 300 mm, which to me seems a little unusual. (Again, the posted picture does not accurately show the position of the VESA mounts.) The horizontal measurement being only 200 mm and narrower than the vertical meant that none of the mounting patterns offered by my existing “universal” mount fits this TV. That’s another “no big deal” if you’re using the provided stand/feet and not wall mounting. Picture quality seems fine to me. Is the quality as good as a similar-sized “QLED” or “OLED” TV that costs 3-5X as much or more? Who knows?…probably not…but the only way I’d know for sure would be to compare them next to each other at home in the same room. To summarize, it may not be perfect, but this is a great, feature-packed TV for the price.
