Best Blind TV Experience Ever!!
This was a wonderful investment. Best tv experience I’ve had being blind. There’s so much in doing for yourself.
I did complete setup without assistance. Voice View narrated every step. Even tells you screen off when powering off.
Gone are the days of how many presses for input. A heads up for my blind brothers and sisters... the top HDMI port is HDMI 1. This is also the HDMI ARC for your audio receiver, sound bar.
The only difficulty for blind is attaching the stand. A left and right which I guarantee you’ll never figure out. Neighbor attached stand and checked to make sure no damage, or dead pixels.
Thank you Amazon, Best Buy, and Toshiba. Best accessible tv I’ve encountered for blind consumers.
Initial voice view is activated by pressing Back and Menu for 2 seconds. The left and right button above the ring. Remote is slightly different from Fire TV. There is a voice view tutorial for the remote.
Also you can change inputs with voice. Just say input 1, or HDMI 1. Great speakers and value for this price point.
PS: connecting to Echo Dot was a breeze. Link in Alexa app. I can change volume and inputs with Dot. Along with power on/off.
Update:
Another benefit found for blind customers. Software updates on TV’s, Apple TV, etc. can be difficult. Without audible cues it can be hard to tell when done. When software reboots it lets you know disconnect from input. When a device restarts, device reconnects to input with voice cue.
It took awhile to figure out, but changing input name is possible. Go to inputs under settings tab, highlight the input name you want to change, don't select... Instead press menu twice. An options menu will pop up. Their are like 14 options to name the input.
By going to tv.toshiba@toshiba.com you’ll find a full users manual. Model LF621U. I recommend for hidden and not obvious features.
