Our Verdict
If you have a tight budget, the Toshiba L1400U LED TV will fit the bill. Do not expect perfect picture quality, though. Fast-moving objects have a very long blur trail and the uniformity of the screen has a few problems.
- Great contrast ratio for the price.
- Low amount of reflection.
- Noticeable motion blur, so it isn't the best for sports or video games.
- Color calibration out of the box is very off. Even after spending quite some time adjusting it, it was still far from perfect.
- Uniformity issues with both dark and gray screens.

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.
