In previous reviews, we became acquainted with many TVs that fuel the hype around Ultra HD and are the highest price category – from 100-150 rubles or more. Of course, manufacturers like to focus attention on fashion products, but in fact the backbone of sales falls entirely on other models – much more modest and affordable. The real hero of our time is the average TV with a diagonal of about 40 inches, Full HD resolution and a basic set of multimedia features (USB-media player and Smart TV), and the price of popular models rarely exceeds a threshold of 20,000. Today we turned on the TV just such a test – a simple model for the common people. Model Toshiba 40L3453R not shout about their superiority at every turn, but meets all these criteria. Let’s see, will the modesty of this TV its decoration?

Digital tuners
model was tested on Toshiba 40L3453R 40-inch (102 cm). The average price – 22 900 rubles.
design and construction
Appearance Toshiba 40L3453R not memorable – it’s very simple shapes and modest but practical materials. In the background some bright TV competitors will look bednovato (at least in the store). We hope that the content will be able to atone for the absence of colorful covers.
On the other hand, despite the modest performance model 40L3453R something different from the second-tier brands: here is quite thin frame around the screen, everywhere reign classic proportions correct. Main criticism is that it is not particularly beautiful call: still today even the low-end models accepted to do a stylish and memorable.
About Toshiba 40L3453R yet it can not. Obviously, there is a maximum bet on a neutral design that is nevertheless easy to fit into any decor. And at the same time unpretentious matte plastic is quite practical – it will not be seen any prints or small scratches.
interfaces, management and functionality
Toshiba 40L3453R set of interfaces for the class is quite good. On the back wall there are 3 connectors HDMI, USB, LAN and card slot Common Interface. Analog connections too much: there almost forgotten VGA for PC connection, antenna input, SCART, Component Y / Pb / Pr as a remote adapter (supplied TV). Also back is a coaxial SPDIF audio output and headphone output.
For wireless Internet connection has built Wi-Fi adapter that supports the 802.11n. They also support WiDi wireless video transmission with laptops and other devices – I must say, it is a rarity in the budget class.
Moreaboard TV has support for some types of digital television: DVB-C (cable) and DVB-T2 (essential). The latter is particularly important for the Russian audience, as our broadcasting is gradually moving to the digital standard DVB-T2.
In
TV comes with a remote control button. Nothing special about it is impossible to say – the easiest remote that copes with its tasks. Obviously, from the remote, as well as from the TV, not trying to make a spaceship or something like that. Finally, to control the TV, you can use a smartphone.
Toshiba Smart TV
Here we have lived up to the point where even low-end models are already eager for the Internet and have something from the arsenal of Smart TV. Toshiba 40L3453R has the following features:
- Interactive applications (YouTube, ivi.ru, Tvigle, etc.)
- built in Internet browser
- Integrated USB-media player
As you can see, is not so simple this TV. Connecting to the Internet via Wi-Fi, you can get access to basic services (such as ivi.ru) and watch popular movies and TV series. Of course, the number of applications, frankly, a little – but no one bothers to fill in their new software releases. That I hope will be done and Toshiba.
speed interactive services currently average: frank “brake” is not observed, but every major action causes a slight pause to load and process data from the Internet. In principle, the budget platform is quite normal. Stability at an acceptable level, frank “bugs” have not met, although in general the system is still felt damp (again affects fiscal platform).
integrated browser places thoughtful, but regularly ship different pages. Main gripe – this navigation: it uses free cursor plowing on the internet with tangible “brakes”. That they will have to click on a hyperlink and enter the text that is not too convenient. On the other hand, the budget model Toshiba has made the impossible: the browser can safely play embedded video on the pages. Joke, but this can cause problems even on some older models Smart TV. Here everything went as it should, in addition, the interface itself is handled correctly videos – full screen mode, and the like. In general, for its class fared well. Places will not prevent grinding, but now everything works.
Integrated USB-media player is more common in low-end models. And then there has been considerable progress, if in the comparative test cost 40-inch TVs last year’s model Toshiba aroused criticism, the latest top model 40L3453R easily cope with the selection of test files. Our USB-flash and HDD, rollers scored the eyeballs, recognizes much faster than last year’s model. Playing a much more nimble, including rewind and other functions. Perhaps our most files are not “heavy”, but on the whole USB-media player began to work more comfortably. Nice improvement, and most importantly, amazing difference compared with previous experience.
Summing up, it should be said that Toshiba got a good enough system Smart TV for a budget model. Above the speed and number of applications, of course, still need to work, and USB-player this time proved himself worthy in the case. In any case, these functions – a nice addition to a younger model.
Image
As usual, we focus on the main TV functions – creating impressive images that would meet all quality standards. To objectively evaluate the image, we use the best tests and videobenchmarki, and also pay attention to the calibration of TVs that you can compare them in fair conditions with optimal settings.
factory settings
Menu younger model Toshiba 40L3453R not replete with a lot of options, but there is plenty to choose from. By default, offers several preset picture modes: “Dynamic”, “Normal”, “Games”, “Cinema” and “Sport”. If you start from the most accurate picture, the best choice by default – mode “Cinema».
smoothly adjust the backlight is not here, there are only three steps from low to high brightness. But when the “medium” level brightness in the “Movies” achieves optimum mark of 120 cd / m 2 . “High” brightness should be used only on a sunny day, with moderate light “Central” will be enough.
Average gamma mode “Cinema” is 2.2. Practically reference value, but have small drops, in particular, bright colors. However, it is hardly noticeable to the naked eye. In addition, regardless of the scale of shadow detail suffers a bit – this is a particular feature of the panel.
average color temperature close to 6500K.
color balance at all surprised accuracy, differences are very small, which positively affects the uniformity of the image. Delta E average error on the gray scale – just 1,66.
color gamut is not as nice. Accuracy relative to the standard Rec. 709 is quite high, although there are differences in the brightness of colors. To get the most detailed picture, we investigated the behavior of colors within the color gamut (at partial saturation).
Here
already appearing some roughness. It adds brightness differences nonlinear saturation of colors: if 25-50% saturation all bearable, then 75% felt closer to 100%. This leads to the fact that the bright colors are almost merged. While checking in fact shows that to outright clipping it does not reach – just intelligibility light gradations lower than we would like. And this is not due to scale, namely uneven saturation of colors.
final frontier – check ColorChecker. Here we can see how adequately TV shows colors, most often fall into the natural images. And this check passes Toshiba worthy: the average error Delta E – 3,96. Given the uneven scale result is not perfect, but quite decent for an inexpensive TV in the basic setting.
During our research we found a more optimal way to set up your TV. To do this you need to have to start from “normal” picture mode. But here you will need to turn off the extra signal processing, as well as select the “warm” color temperature. In general, the settings are shown in the photographs.
Even “low” illumination in “Normal” mode is easy to reach the target brightness of 120 cd / m 2 . Gamma while smoother than in “Cinema”: average – 2.18, and virtually no differences.
average color temperature has not changed – it still hovers around 6500K.
color gamut has not changed much, including the situation with intermediate gradations. But leveled vibrant colors – now the average error on Delta E ColorChecker decreased to 2.55 units, which is generally excellent for the TV without recalibration.
Incidentally, Toshiba 40L3453R has only basic color balance adjustment by 1 point (that is, on the whole range at once), and it works too hard to make smooth changes. So the game with the basic settings and display modes – the best way to get an accurate picture here. And he, oddly enough, works well enough.
Contrast
Contrast Ratio – one of the key characteristics of the image. Largely dependent on it, whether rich and deep image, or vice versa, “flat” and whitish. In Toshiba 40L3453R installed LCD panel family VA, which provides a solid contrast.
So, the same procedure we got ANSI contrast ratio of 2380:1 about in “Normal” mode and 3010:1 in the “Movie”! Basically, the result is not inferior to other members of the VA – whether low or expensive models.
Good contrast
visible to the naked eye – that, generally speaking, with LCD TV does not happen so often. Although evening viewing puts everything in its place, then the depth of the black color is not too impressed, by the same angle it goes purple. Still from LCD TVs with Edge LED backlight can not expect anything more.
Note that in matrix LCD Toshiba has semigloss finish that specific manner scatters the incident light on the surface of the screen. In direct light, the picture slightly “blurred”, although the overall level of reflection is not too high. Probably antiglare filter lacks efficacy, while the more expensive models.
transfer of motion
Working with dynamic image on Toshiba 40L3453R not surprising: the default TV coped with only 300 lines of 1080 in the standard test Motion Resolution. That, however, it is standard for any LCD TV – regardless of make, model and technology.
Another thing is that in the characteristics stated AMR scanning backlight 200, which is designed to reduce the effect of “blurring” contours. Well, its effect is achieved the minimum: in the shadows and contrast transitions are still present are typical of some species panels VA «plumes.” While on a subconscious level in motion picture really is perceived as more solid instead chaotic vagueness here is more focused image. But as you see, the real outcome is hardly affected. Another proof that these LCD TVs hundreds, thousands or billions of other contingent “Hertz”, in fact, mean nothing.
Angles
Angles Toshiba 40L3453R typical for LCD panels family VA: when viewed at an angle, the picture slightly loses contrast and appears blue-violet hue (depending on the angle, of course). But comfort zone is wide enough – if you sit at an angle of 30 degrees from the central axis, the image is distorted uncritically. Enough for 40-inch TV.
uniform image
uniform illumination Toshiba 40L3453R came worthy.
