Kevin, Northumberland
Score 8.0/10+ Good overall picture which appears better again when you find out how to turn off the automatic back lighting adjustment. When it's on it makes the picture fade into shadows when a dark image is on the screen. Not sure what it's supposed to do.
- None really maybe the sound could be a little better but overall very good value

Expert reviews for Toshiba 42RV555D
TechRadar expert review
Toshiba has carved a comfortable niche for itself as the favoured brand for those who are looking for dependable, affordable audio-visual entertainment. Content to let rivals such as Panasonic and Philips vie for absolute technical supremacy, the Japanese company has been churning out decent, honest tellies that will fulfil the needs of the more discerning buyer on a budget for some years, and now they go and do it again with the 42RV555D. The 42RV555D is the latest addition to the modestly-priced, but surprisingly well-specified market. But can it punch above its weight or will it…
