Toshiba 46TL963 Pro Reviews

Although it's not without its issues, there's no doubt that Toshiba has delivered another cracking affordable TV in the Toshiba 46TL963. Its slim design is as space-saving as it is attractive, and the fact that it offers both multimedia streaming/direct USB playback and online features is impressive for its price tag, even if both of these systems are limited in scope. Where it really stands out from the similarly affordable 46-inch TV crowd, though, is with its picture quality. Yes, a few backlight consistency issues and some minor 3D crosstalk might deter enthusiasts. But then a 46-inch TV this cheap was never going to deliver perfection. The best you could probably hope for at that price would be punchy colours, impressive sharpness, solid motion reproduction and good contrast. And with the Toshiba 46TL963, that's exactly what you get.

There’s little doubt that you get a lot of screen for your money with the 46TL963. Its HD performance is generally fine, the cosmetics are swish and there’s a reasonable selection of catch-up and video on demand. Just don’t buy it if you want clean 3D or need to play multimedia files across a network.
