Store this pack of 48 AAA batteries so you always have some handy. With bulk alkaline batteries in the drawer, you don't have to run to the store every time you get a new device or battery-powered toy. These 48 AAA batteries are the right size to power many small toys, gadgets and remote controls.

Problem from the beginning.
By Mike
About 45 days after purchasing this TV I started having trouble getting the TV to turn on. It gets power but has no picture or sound. I can disconnect the power for a minute or two and then the TV will work. Another issue is the TV will not default to the selected input. Everytime I turn the TV on I have to set the source input back to cable. The TV has a great picture is the only reason I gave it two stars.

It Does Voiceovers!
By HiTechDad
This TV has an incredible resolution and is feature rich. It is Alexa enabled and has an app store that allows you to add many of your favorite streaming apps to be used by remote or by voice. straightforward remote allows you to switch between streaming apps and live OTA broadcast in a push of a button.
One thing that is kind of a draw back is that it doesn't have a "last channel" button so switching between channels is a chore. They also do not have a dedicated favorites button that allows you to surf through your favorite channels in absence of a last channel button, but it compensates (somewhat) by allowing you to set favorites and then placing the list of favorites at the top of the TV guide section.
Hopefully they will fix this in future versions because it is annoying talking to Alexa because you have to and not because you want to. Also, Alexa doesn't recognize all of your streaming apps' control functions so don't expect Alexa to navigate directly to all of the various channels in your live TV list - it ain't happening.
The last thing is that it is a dual Wi-Fi Channel (2.4/5.0) which is awesome because it allows you to choose the faster 5.0 (if you can't or don't want to run an ethernet cable) if you are gaming or streaming movies. However, a quirk that I have discovered is that sometimes when your get buffered on one signal, it will attempt to automatically reconnect you on another channel to keep your stream going.
This is a cool feature except sometimes when that happens you will get a "ghost" stream. When the original channel recovers from the buffer, it will restream so that you end up with a background stream. The 5.0 is doing a voice over on your 2.4 or vice versa so as you change channels you see and hear one thing and you hear a second sound as it were a voice over.
Simply unplug the device for 5-10 seconds and then plug it back in and you're fine - no poltergeist!

Mine doesn't. Not sure what you think yours is doing, because it isn't. You need to go into the menu and reset the TV back to factory settings and go thru setup again. That will fix what you think is wrong. Your unplugging and plugging back in is a band-aid only. Fix it right by doing the reset.

Do not buy if connecting to an audio system
By JamesP
Great TV by itself. Completely sucks if you try to connect it to an audio system. Frustratingly difficult to find the correct settings which appear to randomly change. You finally get it to work, then come back later and it doesn't. I've had to hard reboot it (i.e. pull the power cord) multiple times. Once, it wouldn't even let me turn the TV speakers back on until I rebooted it. Avoid this TV unless you never plan to connect it to an audio system, but like many TVs, the audio quality of the built in speakers is not great.

The automatic timer only turns off when no screen motion or remote button used. ie...a YouTube video that ended and nothing is done. The TV will turn itself off after a time. It's a GREAT feature that we love.

Why when using VUDU it only plays as SD and not Ultra HD? All move purchased are Ultra HD but only give SD option to play.

VUDU is unavailable on Fire TV sans sideloading. If you sideload an app that isn't officially supported, you get what you get, and that won't be the full feature set the app has to offer. Not the TV's fault.

Toshiba website lists 75m550ku as a LCD panel, not LED. Best buy lists it as an LED. Is the 75 inch LCD or LED?

Always go by the manufacturer's description. Best Buy descriptions usually leave a lot to be desired in fact and content.

QUESTION FOR TOSHIBA: Is this TV eventually going to support 120hz over the HDMI cables with a future form of firmware update? And does this TV have VRR? I'm asking in order to find out how compatible the TV is with the Xbox Series X.

Series X works well. Just have to output in 60Hz and let the TV do the conversion. Lag time is minimal at most.

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.
