Michelle, Swadlincote

+ I always buy Toshiba due to the level of quality and assistance you get from Toshiba. Would not buy anything else. I have only upgraded my Toshiba, my other TV's and Video/DVD's are still working with family members and friends.

- None really. Sound is not as good as my larger TV but it is satisfactory for the bedroom.

Frequency (Hz)	50
A TV’s frequency is how often the picture is updated per second, and is measured in Hertz (Hz). A higher frequency, such as 100 Hz, means that a TV is more likely to show fast-moving images with high detail.

This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
