The 40E220U does the TCL one better by coming from a brand you've actually heard of. Both offer similar picture quality, bare-bones features, and rock-bottom prices.

CNET Editors' Rating

Average User Review

out of 1 user reviews

Starting at: $378.00

The good: The Toshiba 40E220U features crisp images with a decent amount of contrast. The TV offers a good value and is one of the better units under $500. Colors are well-saturated.

The bad: The TV shows uniformity problems and some of the colors are inaccurate. Shadow detail is lacking compared with the cheaper TCL P60.

The bottom line: The Toshiba 40E220U is a value-for-money television offering decent contrast and bright, vivid colors.
