Toshiba 55L7200U Pro Reviews

With Korean television titans Samsung and LG dominating headlines, garnering heaps of favorable reviews, and duking it out for consumer attention, consumers can easily overlook the other industry heavyweights still in contention with their own high-quality televisions. Although Sony’s and Toshiba’s profits may have eroded over the past few years, both of these Japanese manufacturers are turning out some appealing options with attractive design and signature picture quality. The L7200U is Toshiba’s top-of-the-line LED backlit LCD television. As such, it offers most of the essential smart television-related bells and whistles you’d expect from today’s flagship televisions, wrapped in a nearly bezel-free package. What sets the L7200U series apart from the equally eye-catching competition is Toshiba’s unique flavor of picture and alluring price tag. The 55-inch model we review here has a street price anywhere from $400 to $600 less than the competing Samsung ES8000 and nearly $1,000 less than LG’s LM9600 series. The question is, however, can the L7200U hang tough when pixel meets the eye?

Toshiba's L7200 HDTV line has gorgeous 3D LED HDTVs that deliver accurate colors and nice, dark blacks. They come with some neat features, but backlighting issues hold it back.

Toshiba's L7200U LED TV comes loaded with features, but mediocre picture quality makes its high price tough to stomach.
