HD TV	Full HD 1080p
‘HD Ready’ is a Europe-wide standard designed to made HD technology less confusing.

Freeview is free digital terrestrial TV. FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service, which gives you HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky.

Number of scart ports	1
Scart sockets are places where you can connect other devices to your TV. If you already have a DVD player, a VCR and a Playstation you might want to make sure your new TV has enough Scart interfaces so you don’t have to keep crawling round the back of the TV.

Smart TV	Yes
TVs with internet capability allow you access to a range of online services.
Frequency (Hz)	400
A TV’s frequency is how often the picture is updated per second, and is measured in Hertz (Hz). A higher frequency, such as 100 Hz, means that a TV is more likely to show fast-moving images with high detail.

This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
Reflection angle	178
Also known as the viewing angle, it’s a measure of how good the picture looks when you are not face on to the screen. Higher is better.
Horizontal resolution (Pixels)	192

Vertical resolution (Pixels)	1080

Here’s a list of the questions other shoppers have asked owners of the Toshiba 42VL863

Is this tv future proof or will it be discontinued in the near future?

ken asked on 27 Jul 2011
1. no idea, it was a special offer so it may already be end of line.
  
  Philip replied on 23 Aug 2011
2. That is something you will need to ask the supplier you buy it from sorry
  
  Emma replied on 23 Aug 2011
whats the 3d like and is normal tv good?

ann asked on 04 Aug 2011
1. 3D tv is really good but you can only view with the glasses provided, you cannot purchase the better ones. Normal tv is really good. Was a really good purchase all round.
  
  Debbie replied on 23 Aug 2011
2. Normal TV is pin sharp, 3D seems even better, works with real3D glasses you get from cinema as well as the supplied ones so plenty of spares.
  
  Philip replied on 23 Aug 2011
3. The 3d is very good however you need to have the tv at eye level to benefit from the full effect. The normal setting is very good and worth getting the tv even if you don't use the 3d setting.
  
  Emma replied on 23 Aug 2011
What do I need to connect to the Satellite LMB connection,I.e. will I be able to access the freesat HD content, with a dish and LMB?

William asked on 11 Aug 2011
1. Not sure, I believe from the instructions you can connect the sky/freesat dish straight it to it and get free to air channels, there is a CAM slot what ever that is, but do not think there is any decoder.
  
  We use sky HD+ and sky 3D is free with it.
  
  Philip replied on 23 Aug 2011
2. I am not sure about this as didnt set the tv up myself however the product description on the Currys website is very detailed.
  
  Emma replied on 23 Aug 2011
Does the tv come with the 3D glasses and if so how many?

LJ asked on 15 Aug 2011
1. Mine came with 4 and 4 where sent on later by currys as 8 was part of the offer, works with the Real3D glasses you get from the cinema so plenty of spares.
  
  Philip replied on 23 Aug 2011
2. It depends where you buy it from. It will say on the product description. I brought my tv from Currys online. There was an offer on last month for the tv, a blue ray player and 10 pairs of 3d glasses for around £699.
  
  Emma replied on 23 Aug 2011
3. I received x4 pairs when it was delivered but should of received x8. Will pop back into the store to query this.
  
  Debbie replied on 23 Aug 2011
What wifi adapters will work on the 42vl863b for the smart tv feature?

Lee asked on 15 Aug 2011
1. I believe it is a special Toshiba one and only that one can be used as the drivers are built in for it, not cheap, I am using a TPLink 743ND router set in client mode and connected to the lan port of TV, the WAN connects to my access point which just happens to also be TPLink 743ND in AP mode and that makes connection to intetnet
  
  Philip replied on 23 Aug 2011
HI, have you played a ps3 on it by any chance ? Desperate for a 3D tv but nobody seems to mention the quality while gaming....

Simon asked on 18 Aug 2011
1. We have only used our xbox but the quality is really good with that.
  
  Debbie replied on 23 Aug 2011
2. Sorry No, the 3D is pretty good though, so if a PS3 and a 3D game is in Real 3D, it should be great, I have not seen on my son's PS3 any setting for switching the PS3 in to 3D mode, when the BlueRay player or Sky 3D is switched in to 3D, the picture is split in to 2 pictures, when you switch the TV to 3D you get an option to choose side by side or on top of each other, most are side by side, once you have done that the picture is offset slightly until you put the glasses on, it then lines up and low and behold a picture in Real 3D
  
  Philip replied on 23 Aug 2011
i am considering buying this TV in the next week or so and i was very intrigued by the massive 7,000,000:1 contrast that was advertised on pcworld.co.uk, however on Reevoo its claimed it is only 1600:1 which worries me because i brought a standard 23 inch 480p HD tv 4 years ago which has 4000:1 contrast...what i am asking is which is the right number 7,000,000 or 1600 contrast?

Lee asked on 22 Aug 2011
1. The contrast is 7,000,000:1 if you look on the main websites like Currys, comet, pc world they will confirm this. Reevoo comments can be incorrect
  
  Emma replied on 23 Aug 2011
2. May be pcworlds model is different, it said 7 ,000,000 on the one I purchased, it is far better that the one my son has, like I said it can be viewed from a greater angle than most and that might be down to contrast ratio.
  
  Philip replied on 23 Aug 2011
Thinking about getting this tv but is there any picture problem viewing football.

shaun asked on 24 Aug 2011
1. The 3D is fantastic, had to suffer City getting beat by United.
  
  Philip replied on 25 Aug 2011
Is this 3d TV Active or Passive?

Dave asked on 27 Aug 2011
1. it is passive if you lose your glases you can use the ones you get from your local cinema (works out cheaper )
  
  David replied on 28 Aug 2011
2. It's passive.
  
  Lest replied on 28 Aug 2011
3. yes its passive and the glasses are £19,99 for 4 pairs
  
  Frank replied on 28 Aug 2011

C asked on 11 Sep 2011
1. Hello C, they are just there, in amongst the other channels in the Freeview guide?
  
  Lest replied on 15 Sep 2011
2. You need to read the instruction book that came with the TV it is all it there.
  
  Philip replied on 16 Sep 2011

  Frank replied on 28 Sep 2011

sal asked on 28 Sep 2011
1. The stand is fixed. Personally i would always choose a Toshiba over an LG, and the picture quality is amazing.
  
  Sam replied on 29 Sep 2011
2. Seems a really good tv. It has a swivel stand.
  
  Gary replied on 29 Sep 2011

do i need to get the wifi dongle in order to use the iPhone app. I've hard wired mine to the modem but the iPhone is not picking it up.

martin asked on 10 Oct 2011
1. Do not have an iphone or a wifi module, I have a ckeap TPLink router set as a client and connected direct to the lan port of TV to emulate the wifi module, the router connects the TV to the house network. This is what the WiFi module would do, my phone connects to the house network and thus to the TV.
  
  Philip replied on 10 Oct 2011
currys gave me ethernet cable (has golden ends) with the tv(charged for), tv is not delivered yet, is the ethernet cable to connect the tele to internet or just to connect it to the blue player

sam asked on 15 Oct 2011
1. to connect tele to internet ok
  
  Frank replied on 16 Oct 2011
how do I get single screen when watching ch 217 on sky. have a split screen

Sheena asked on 20 Oct 2011
1. Ch 217 is the 3D channel, select 3D on remote, then 3D on screen, then side by side, then OK, put your 3D glasses on and enjoy, you might have to ask sky to enable it but it is free with sky HD
  
  Philip replied on 25 Oct 2011
how is the quality of picture in 2D and 3D and is the interent access built in or needs be connected via cable

sam asked on 20 Oct 2011
1. Excellent, first class picture in 2D and 3D, Wireless Internet requires the purchase of a optional toshiba USB WiFi module, but you can connect a cable to any router or you could connect to a inexpensive Wireless router configured as a wireless client to connect to your wireless access point, there are a number of ideal ones made by TPLink
  
  Philip replied on 22 Oct 2011
2. Picture quality is superb in both 2D and 3D. Internet access does need to be connected via a cable to the router or possibly a wireless router could be used.
  
  Debbie replied on 24 Oct 2011

  Frank replied on 24 Oct 2011
Hi there,
This tv has a great spec but we don't have Sky or BluRay 3d player, so wondering if this is still worth it for us. The 3D could be useful in the future but is it still a great buy anyway? What do you think?

Thanks. Thommo :)

thommo asked on 25 Oct 2011
1. Yes think so even if just got free view you can also get free view HD if you can get it in your area and it shows normal DVDs well
  
  David replied on 25 Oct 2011
Hi just wondering how you connect a Nintendo Wii to the TV, can't figure it out as the scart plug is to big.

1. use the connector you get with the tv
  
  Frank replied on 03 Nov 2011
how do i connect my surround sound to the tv as there are no red and yellow sound conections like my last tv?

Mike asked on 21 Nov 2011
1. See page six of your tv user manual for instructions. There is only one input to the tv, its always active!!!! It has a red light around it on left hand side of the screen as you look from the front.
  There is a very short cable in the pack that has one yellow end to go into the tv and 3 (red,white and yellow ends to take your surround sound system connections ....hope this makes sense!!!!
  
  Sue replied on 21 Nov 2011

Hi guys.
Does these Tv have a Web Browser or no ??

Lachezar asked on 09 Mar 2012
1. Not sure, not tried, they have LAN and you can purchase a wifi adapter that plugs in and you can stream video from the NET, so I would assume they have some sort of browser.
  
  Philip replied on 10 Mar 2012
Anyone know how to get the Cartoon Network channel on there? Tried re-tuning etc and can not see it. Have the wifi adapter and that works but cant get this channel Thanks

Carl asked on 18 Mar 2012
1. Once you are connected to the internet via your tv (i assume you have done this) press your menu button here you will see a menu called connected tv. here you will want to click on Toshiba places once you select this and agree there will be many options includeing Cartoon network. This is an on demand service not a network station (as far as im aware) you will be required to pay a subscription to use.
  Hope this helps

NITIN asked on 22 Mar 2012

Hi, I acquired the 42VL863B about 8 weeks ago and I am less than impressed with the sound. I am experiencing a sort of sound vibration / disportion at times even at fairly low volume. Don't know if the TV is faulty?
Would the fact that I don't have Sky HD just the standard Sky Plus which is connected to the TV via Scart have any effect? Thanks for any advice.”

David asked on 11 Apr 2012
1. Hi....sorry for any delay......with regard to your 42VL863B.....mine was purchased 7 weeks ago..and originally it was set up without any sky connection and now i have it connected to sky hd plus and the sound quality in both situations is very good...regards from midge

I have down loaded some 3d side by side video from the You tube downloader.
The settings on downloader was mp4 ( no convert ) and 1080p high. I put it on a usb stick, taken to pcworld and find 3d will not play, but it will on LG 3d set.
Why? Is it the settings on downloader? I like the look of Tosh better than LG.

Will asked on 15 Apr 2012
1. Sorry not tried down loading 3D only used for films.
  
  Frederick replied on 15 Apr 2012
2. unable to help as only used 3d for sky and films...

Hey I've narrowed my search down to this Toshiba and a 40" Samsung and was wondering if this Toshiba has the equal or better picture quality in 2D and 3D as I much prefer the passive 3D and the Samsung has Active. Thanks

1. Got both myself, Toshiba much better uses same glasses as used in the Cinema.

1. I spent a lot of time choosing this tv, comparing it in store to the brands you mention - picture quality is excellent (as are the others), and I am very satisfied with it.

3. Picture quality is very good until the digital signal drops off. Hopefully this will be rectified when we go fully digital in June. This is not the TV's fault though. Haven't used it in 3D yet unfortunately.

I've just bought this TV and I am struggling to attach the TV to the stand.. Now I'm not sure if there is a part missing or if I'm just missing the bleeding obvious. I can't seem to find the part which gets screwed on top of the stand and onto the back of the TV. Can some please let me know if this is attached somewhere on the back of the TV and I need to unscrew it or am I missing a part?

1. There Should Be A Bracket That Is Screwed by 4 Screws Into The back Of The T.V. Then The Stand Fits Into The bracket. The bracket is not already on the back of the T.V. and should be with the stand. If not then the bracket is missing.
