Design
The Toshiba Smart TV looks very plain and simple. It has no cable management and is a bit thick at 3.43-inches. There are three HDMI inputs, an optical audio output, ethernet port, a USB port, and an RCA video input port. This great TV also comes with two 8 watt speakers which produce decent sound quality. The only small drawback is the internet browser, which isn’t user-friendly once you get past the home screen. This TV only goes up to 50-inches unlike the TCL 50S425, which goes up to 70-inches.
