This TV IS 120Hz!
on June 10, 2022
Posted by: Squirrel
Verified Purchase:Yes
Right off the bat, I want to attempt to clarify the 120Hz debacle that is occurring. This TV IS INDEED a NATIVE 120Hz display television. What people say about the HDMI input(s) not supporting 120Hz is true. But all that means is that the TV itself does the conversion of EVERYTHING (including the HDMI input(s)) that gets displayed on the screen, to 120Hz. And as such, the TV has such an incredibly clean, colorful, and smoothest motion that I have seen on a TV in this price range. Maybe a future update can enable 120Hz over HDMI, but I doubt it is on the front burner.
The only valid complaint that I can confirm, is the sound/no picture when going to an app after using HDMI. The easy workaround is to change the user and change back. VOILA!, sound and picture again! I am hopeful a future update will fix this anomaly.
I love having antenna TV and FireTV on the same screen. Makes switching fast and easy. The audio via eARC sounds as good as it can and controls my Denon AVR too! My only dislike is that volume control is in steps, and not fluid and smooth. Playing around with the delay times in the TV settings, to see if that helps any.
The built-in Alexa controls the TV's basic functions very fluidly. No issues. And it hears incredibly well, even while watching a movie/program.
The TV is incredibly bright, with retina melting capabilities (I'm being facetious) so be prepared! The TV is bright enough that reflections are a non-issue. The color gamut is magnificent and the full-array back-lighting helps to get me involved with the program. I haven't seen any gray where it should be black, yet. And I don't expect to.
I strongly recommend this set as the feature-to-price point is unmatched, at the current sale price, with any other set. You will easily spend $400 more on a competitor to get the same functions and features this set has. The 75" M550 is easily a flagship-class television in my honest opinion. I replaced a wonderful 73" Mitsubishi 120Hz TV that had nothing wrong with it (the Super Bowl looked insanely awesome), and I have no buyer's remorse. We're looking forward to the Super Bowl this year!

Top notch television for the meager price of admission! 65" has an incredible picture quality. Son watched 'Christmas Story' last night from our Prime movie collection, and I have NEVER seen it as clear and defined as I did on this set! It was nothing short of remarkable! Can't beat the $499 price DELIVERED for a 65" 4K television. VERY satisfied with the purchase!

Good deal for the price
By Chris
I was able to pick up this TV at roughly half the original price making it an excellent deal for a 120hz refresh rate, full array local dimming TV of this size.
Picture
Overall, the picture quality is excellent after making a few adjustments to the picture settings. There are crisp details and bright colors. This appears to be an IPS screen, so the blacks in dark scenes are not super deep in a dark room, but the FALD does help some with this. For all but the darkest scenes, the picture quality is quite excellent.
Fire operating system
Overall, I like the Fire OS. I like the simple remote and the ability for voice control. I was able to control my receiver using the remote, allowing me to get down to one remote. The OS in general is simple and easy to use. Many complain about the adds at the top, but it does not get in the way of my experience, so I am fine with it. The one glitch that I cannot figure out is that after playing my PS4, I have to reboot the TV to stream again. If I do not reboot, I can hear the sound of a show, but I can't see the video. I can do a restart with the remote, so it is not the end of the world, but I hope a future update will somehow correct this.

HDMI ARC is not working properly
By ilJKDli
There is a problem for the HDMI ARC, when you plugged in a Sound Bar via HDMI ARC, the volume bar will stay on for the whole time. I tried to reset the TV, but did not work. I reset the JBL Sound Bar, it did not work either. However, my sound bar is working fine with another Samsung TV I have.
I emailed to Toshiba Support, no response for 2 days. and I found out there are many people with the same problems, please visit the following link.
https://www.reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/omgkye/toshiba_fire_tv_volume_bar_wont_disappear_off_of/
I am surprised that it is almost a year from the problem occurred, but it is still not fixed. I would like to return the TV, but it is too big for my SUV, I am not able to take it to Bestbuy store. It seems I need to stick with it.
it is good if you are not planning to use sound bar or external speaker.

The linked review:

isn't about this model line. And ARC is, and always has been, we'll say, 'finicky' Has zero to do with the equipment and all about the technology. With that being said, eARC/ARC works as intended on my set and 10-year-old Denon AVR.

Great picture, weak audio.
By LightningUSBadapter
Picture quality is amazing, but I was disappointed that I couldn’t get full surround support through HDMI into my AV-Receiver. I could only get PCM audio coming through one stereo speaker, far short of the full surround I'm used to from my Onkyo tx-nr686. It also couldn’t see my PS4 or cable box. Spent several hours with tech support and Toshiba finally said I should return it.

All you had to do was reset the TV back to factory defaults and set it up again. Most likely occurred because you didn't do a factory reset when you first unboxed it. This is the most incredible television for the price available.

I purchased the Toshiba 65m550ku b/c it says 120hz to watch sports but when I check the resolution its 60hz auto and I can’t change it. That’s streaming on the fire tv and from my cable box. How do I get 120hz?

The TV does the conversion to 120 Hz. Everything you see on that screen is in 120 Hz. Nowhere, anywhere, is it "advertised" as having 120 Hz inputs. Nowhere.

Sometimes the TV doesn't turn on with the remote. I have to unplug and replug it at the back of the TV, then it will turn on with the remote.... Also, when I pause a show it shuts itself off after 5 minutes. Very annoying...

The TV needs to be reset to factory defaults once unboxed and before 1st use. Do that and go thru the setup process again and you should be good to go.

That is a TV issue. Use the remote to change the input. You may need to go into the settings menu to do so but very unlikely. Read your owner manual or Google the TV model number and find a copy to look at.

Can you get Peacock?

Absolutely. Peacock DOES NOT broadcast in 4K, just a FYI.

How long does a firestick last?

I've never had one die on me. I still have a working 1st gen Fire Stick that works as well as the day it was delivered.

Toshiba~s M550 flagship series delivers the complete picture, sound, and smart experience expected from a premium television manufacturer. Toshiba~s proprietary Regza Engine 4K enhances 4K resolution color and contrast with Ultra Essential PQ Technology and Dolby Vision HDR. The 480 Motion Rate helps to support Auto Low Latency Mode to make gaming look incredible. The DTS Virtual:X post-processing package creates an audio atmosphere that envelopes the listener in sound for a truly immersive experience.
 

Is the performance better when using an ethernet cable connected

In my case, using ethernet results in slower speeds than wi-fi. Crazy, but true. So I use the wi-fi now, no issue. No issue with ethernet either, other than the psychological aspect of it being slower.

Can I use the digital optical output to connect to my hearing aids while the tv's speakers are on so my wife can hear the tv at the same time or does the use of the digital optical output jack turn off the tv speakers?

The speakers stay on unless you turn them off, so yes, your idea will work. But this set also has Bluetooth, so that may be an option. Not sure if the speakers automatically disconnect when using it or not.
