The 46TL963 is Toshiba’s high street champion. Neither supermarket fodder nor high-end hero, it combines internet connected Smarts with 3D compatibility, and has a trendy, slim-line chassis. At first glance it should be a no-brainer purchase – but ther...
There’s little doubt that you get a lot of screen for your money with the 46TL963. Its HD performance is generally fine, the cosmetics are swish and there’s a reasonable selection of catch-up and video on demand. Just don’t buy it if you want clean 3D...

Toshiba Places still malnourished, Some backlight consistency issues, Occasional 3D crosstalk...
The 46TL963 feels like only an incremental improvement on its predecessor overall, and its backlight consistency with 2D is arguably slightly worse than that of its predecessor.However, for most of the time its pictures in 2D and 3D mode look overall slig...

Hot on the heels of our 32RL953 review comes the 40TL963, a 40in 3D-ready, edge LED set that Toshiba claims to ‘offer viewers the ideal combination of performance, design and value'. We can well believe it too, given Toshiba's form in this area – over the...

1080p24 Blu-ray is not handled well, Intermittent screen tearing, A bit laggy for gamers...
Almost ironically, 3D Blu-rays were handled far better and the out-of-the-box Hollywood configuration provided some very natural looking pictures with plenty of depth. Objects with negative parallax, i.e. those popping out of the screen did show some cros...
