Really bad picture quality.
-NEW UPDATE-
Well, I knew something was wrong with this TV. I just hope nobody fell int othe scam.
As you can see they already stoped selling this TV inless than a year, and they actually confirmed this wasn't a 120 Hz panel, they changed the specs to say it is 60 Hz.
The specs were full of lies since the beginning, Amazon should be held responsible.
Update.
So, after one week of use here is an update. Still keeping the 1 star and returning it.
Picture quality improved after an update and also after moving the settings, but you have to do too much for it to look decent. Still it is too dark and if you increase the brightness, the blacks go gray. Still has the very bad blooming when Local dimming is on. Sharpness and motion handling is great and the reason I liked it.
The worse stuff...
-They say it has 16GB of memory and it is 12GB
-The HDMI ports, while they say they are 2.1 and the panel supposedly is 120Hz, cannot do 4K @ 120 Hz on the Xbox. I wasn't even able to get 120Hz on 1080p.
-It doesn't have DTS:X. Neither the Xbox or the sound bar recognizes it. The specs on the label and box only say DTS HD which is not the same.
And the worst of all...
It already failed. Screen went black, but subtitles and sound were working.
I saw that was a problem with older Toshiba Fire TV and has not being fixed yet.
It must be a problem with their connections inside as some times when going to Dolby Vision it flickers in green, like when an HDMI cable is going bad or is connected the wrong way... But here there are no HDMI cables, it is the apps on the TV itself.
***Original review***
The TV has very bad picture quality. In short:
-HDR for gaming is too dark, no matter how you adjust the picture settings.
-Local Dimming causes a very bad blooming, it is so bad that, for instance, when the Disney+ circle is rotating while loading, you can see a very large white square where the white side of the circle is passing. Also when Netflix just boots there are very big squares around the N. But, if you turn off local dimming, the picture looks dull, as the blacks look dark grey.
-It doesn't save some settings, I need to change them every time because they revert to default.
-Doesn't really looks as it has a 120 Hz panel.
On the good side, the Fire interfase is good (though not so fast), and it scanned a lot of channels through my anntena, more than I have ever had. Also the remote controls the BluRay player, and has some smart features that are very nice... But the most important thing for a TV is picture quality and this one doesn't deliver.
