Most TV manufacturers have chosen Roku TV or Android TV for their smart TV platforms, but Toshiba continues to stick with Amazon’s Fire TV. We don’t mind; Fire TV is a powerful system with lots of services and the useful presence of Amazon s Alexa voice assistant. The C350 is Toshiba’s latest, and currently only, line of TVs, and it s loaded with features for the price. The 50-inch 50C350 we tested has an MSRP of $469.99, and is often available for less. On paper it s an attractive option for penny-pinchers, and it has surprisingly low input lag for gamers, but a dim panel and low contrast make it hard to wholeheartedly recommend.

4K has established itself as the baseline for modern TVs, and 4K TVs have become quite affordable over the last couple of years. That said, you can still find some new 1080p TVs out there and they’ll almost certainly cost less than any 4K model. The Vizio D40f-J09 is one such option, and at $249.99, it’s one of the cheapest 40-inch TVs you can buy. As you might imagine, the picture quality fails to impress, which isn t surprising for the price. What is surprising, however, is that the lower resolution isn’t the main issue, but rather the dim panel and the lack of HDR support. This is definitely a case of getting what you pay for.
Vizio's MQ6 TV series doesn't get very bright, but it offers a generally strong picture, good gaming performance and features, and the option for a very big screen at an affordable price.
