Wide contrast ratio
Notable RGB color curve response
Mediocre audio system
No internet connection
Introduction
With good contrast and color performance, the Toshiba 46SL412U impresses for its price point, but it’s not perfect, as it has no internet connection and only limited external media options. From a pure value standpoint, it’s a great buy, but for some people, the lack of bells and whistles may not be enough to draw attention this year.
