The Toshiba L3400U LED TV is a smart TV, but it is the most limited that we have seen. The picture quality is great for the price, with the exception of a significant amount of motion blur.
Our Verdict
0.0
Mixed Usage
The smart TV interface is pretty useless, so unless you only plan on using Netflix, get the cheaper Toshiba L1400U instead. The picture quality is very similar, although the uniformity is a bit better on the Toshiba L3400U.
Pros
Excellent contrast ratio
Few reflections, so you can also use it in a relatively bright room.
Cons
Colors out of the box were off. Calibration fixed most of the issues.
Significant amount of motion blur. This TV isn't good for sports or video games (although the input lag was very low).
Very limited smart TV features. The TV practically only has YouTube and Netflix on it, and no web browser.
We buy and test dozens of TVs yearly, taking an objective, data-driven approach to deliver results you can trust. Our testing process is complex, with hundreds of individual tests that take over a week to complete. Most of our tests use specially designed test patterns that mimic real content, but we also use the same sources you have at home to ensure our results match the real-world experience. We use two main tools for our testing: a Colorimetry Research CR-100 colorimeter and a CR-250 spectroradiometer.
