Add some blazing color to your Amazon Fire TV remote with this orange Insignia cover. It shields your controller from scratches and dings to keep it looking new, and its snug fit ensures it won't slip off. This Insignia cover has several circular cutouts for full access to all remote functions.

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.

5 out of 5This TV IS 120Hz!
By Squirrel
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!

4 out of 5Good 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.

1 out of 5HDMI 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.

2 out of 5Great 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.

Cinti, OH

August 8, 2022
using my old Denon 4311ci. So your theory that the TV won't provide full surround sound to more than one channel doesn't hold water. Look at your settings, connections, sources, etc... The TV is just wonderful in all aspects.

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.

No. But the remote has no buttons. You'll see, you get used to it quickly. My wife loves the remote.

Why do the specifications of this TV say it is "120hz" for the "refresh rate" when none of the HDMI ports are compatible with a signal of 120hz?
The screen is native 120Hz, meaning EVERYTHING you see displayed is at 120Hz. The inputs do not accept 120HZ in, only 60Hz. The TV itself does the conversion to 120Hz, so it is done in the TV, not the source.
