Toshiba 55UF3D53DB 55 inch 4K Ultra HD HDR Smart LED TV Freeview Play £299 @ Richer Sounds

Save your money, this telly is junk.

I picked up the 50" just a few weeks back and can honestly say its great value for money, the picture has been shockingly good, colours pop and the blacks appear deep black not dark grey and dont bleed. I mostly use it for gaming on my Series X and its miles better than my old TV (highest end samsung at the time but now 6 years old). I got it thinking i would just buy the cheapest 50" i could find as a temporary replacement but now im happy to keep it. Dolby vision has been alot better than standard HDR, the menus have been snappy and responsive which shocked me as alot of reviews suggested it was slow. I will list a few cons ive found though just to make potential buyers aware, the tv doesnt have the best viewing angles and is best viewed face on as a result. The sound isnt the worst especially when dolby atmos is on but like most TVs i would pair it with a soundbar still. Everytime a source uses Dolby vision or game mode/film mode it switches automatically which is a neat feature however a little pop up appears telling you everytime, just a silly con but this gets annoying fast. The picture needs adjusting for each mode as the presets out of the box are lacking, overly sharp and colour was overblown but this can be changed easy enough so only an initial problem. The biggest Con of all is that it is a vestel TV so buying one is like flipping a coin, thankfully mines been perfect however alot of people have received broken, faulty and obvious refurbished sets listed as new, just look at amazon reviews and you will see what i mean. I am sorry if any of the cons ive listed put you off as i love my TV and am really happy i picked it up, you would strugle to find another TV as good for the price and size, i just think its important to make buyers aware before they part with hard earned money.

Would rather get a TCL for same price than a Vestel TV , currently 15% off on EBay so £296 and a 2yr warranty

When people's first (and often only) consideration is size it would make your teeth itch.

If you're only bothered about having a big tv then buy it, it's probably for you. (edited)

Are these TV's 3D ready?

Thanks, I have a lot of 3D discs and games also Avatar 2 is coming out on 3D blue in a few weeks so was hoping for an upgrade to my old TV, oh well.
