The Toshiba C350 Series 2023 is a budget TV that replaces the Toshiba C350 Series 2021. It sits between Toshiba's V35 Series and M550 Series TVs, and it runs Amazon Fire TV smart platform with integrated Alexa voice assistant support. It also supports Apple AirPlay if you want to cast content from your phone. It's compatible with Dolby Vision HDR and supports the Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual: X audio technologies. Otherwise, it has little in the way of extra features. It's available in a range of sizes, including 43, 50, 55, and 65 inches.

Our Verdict

6.4
Mixed Usage 

The Toshiba C350 2023 is a mediocre TV overall. Its wide viewing angle makes it a good choice if you're mostly interested in watching shows or sports in a wide seating area. It has decent reflection handling, but it doesn't get very bright, so it can't fight glare from bright lights or windows in a living room or office. It has terrible contrast and lacks a wide color gamut, so watching movies or playing games in a dark room is disappointing. With its decent response time and extremely low input lag, it isn't bad for gaming, but it has no extra gaming features. However, its low input lag, wide viewing angle, and proper chroma 4:4:4 support make it a decent choice to use as a PC monitor.

Pros
  • Great for a wide seating arrangement due to its wide viewing angle.
  • Handles reflections decently well.
  • It's extremely color accurate without calibration.
Cons
  • Terrible contrast and sub-par black uniformity.
  • Lacks a local dimming feature.
6.9
TV Shows 

The Toshiba C350 2023 is an adequate TV for watching TV shows. It has decent reflection handling, but it's not ideal for well-lit rooms as it doesn't get very bright. On the other hand, it has a wide viewing angle, which is great if you have a wide seating area, as the image remains consistent from the sides. It has okay upscaling capabilities, so low-resolution shows look alright overall despite lacking in fine detail. Unfortunately, its low-quality content smoothing is limited, so shows from streaming platforms have noticeable compression artifacts. Thankfully, the Fire TV OS has a wide selection of apps, so you can easily access your favorite streaming content.

Pros
  • Great for a wide seating arrangement due to its wide viewing angle.
  • Handles reflections decently well.
Cons
  • Doesn't smooth out low-quality content well.
6.9
Sports 

The Toshiba C350 2023 is okay for watching sports. It has a decent response time, so fast-moving content has some, but not excessive, blur. It also has a wide viewing angle, so you don't have to fight over the best spot with your friends, as the image stays consistent even at an angle. Its reflection handling is decent as well, but unfortunately, the TV doesn't get bright enough to fight glare from bright lights or windows. Its gray uniformity is okay, but in sports with large areas of bright uniform color, like hockey, the sides of the screen are noticeably dimmer than the center.

Pros
  • Great for a wide seating arrangement due to its wide viewing angle.
  • Handles reflections decently well.
  • Decent response time.
Cons
  • Noticeably darker edges on bright scenes of uniform color.
6.4
Video Games 

The Toshiba C350 2023 is mediocre for gaming. It has a decent response time and very low input lag for a responsive gaming experience. It also has a wide viewing angle, so it's a decent choice for couch co-op games or party games with a wide seating arrangement, as the image remains consistent when viewed from the sides. Unfortunately, it's not a good choice for gaming in the dark due to its abysmal contrast ratio, and it doesn't get bright enough in SDR to handle bright rooms, even with its decent reflection handling. Plus, it has no extra gaming perks like variable refresh rate support.

Pros
  • Extremely low input lag for responsive inputs.
  • Decent response time.
Cons
  • Terrible contrast and sub-par black uniformity.
  • Limited gaming features.
5.8
HDR Movies 

The Toshiba C350 2023 is sub-par for watching movies. Its SDR color accuracy is fantastic with minimal adjustment, so you can get an accurate movie-watching experience almost straight out of the box. Unfortunately, it lacks a wide color gamut, so HDR content looks muted, and it doesn't get nearly bright enough to make highlights pop. Its contrast is also terrible, with no local dimming feature to improve it, so dark scenes aren't displayed properly, and blacks appear raised. Its low-quality content smoothing capabilities are limited, so movies from streaming platforms have noticeable digital noise.

Pros
  • It's extremely color accurate without calibration.
Cons
  • Can't remove 24p judder from native apps or 60Hz sources.
  • Terrible contrast and sub-par black uniformity.
  • Lacks a local dimming feature.
  • Doesn't smooth out low-quality content well.
  • Can't display a wide color gamut.
6.7
HDR Gaming 

The Toshiba C350 2023 is okay for HDR gaming. It delivers a responsive gaming experience thanks to its extremely low input lag and decent response time. However, HDR content doesn't look good because it has low HDR brightness and can't display a wide color gamut. The TV's contrast is terrible, with no local dimming feature to improve it, so the TV has grayish blacks in a dark room. It also has no additional gaming features, like variable refresh rate support.

Pros
  • Extremely low input lag for responsive inputs.
  • It's extremely color accurate without calibration.
  • Decent response time.
Cons
  • Terrible contrast and sub-par black uniformity.
  • Lacks a local dimming feature.
  • Can't display a wide color gamut.
  • Limited gaming features.
7.3
PC Monitor 

The Toshiba C350 2023 is a decent choice if you're looking for a TV to use as a PC monitor. It has a decent response time, so fast-moving windows or mouse cursors don't leave excessive trails behind them. It also has an extremely low input lag, providing a very responsive experience overall. It displays proper chroma 4:4:4 on all its supported resolutions with the lowest input lag possible, simultaneously offering sharp text with responsive inputs. It has a wide viewing angle, ensuring the sides of the screen remain consistent when sitting up close, although the sides are noticeably darker than the center on large areas of bright, uniform color. Unfortunately, the TV doesn't get bright enough to fight glare in a bright office, even with its decent response time.

Pros
  • Great for a wide seating arrangement due to its wide viewing angle.
  • Handles reflections decently well.
  • Displays chroma 4:4:4 with the lowest input lag.
  • It's extremely color accurate without calibration.
  • Decent response time.
Cons
  • Noticeably darker edges on bright scenes of uniform color.

    Differences Between Sizes And Variants

    We tested the Toshiba 65C350LU, and this review is also valid for the 43, 50, and 55-inch models. The 50" model of this TV has four HDMI 2.0 ports versus three ports for the other sizes. In Canada, the TV uses the C350LC model code and has three HDMI ports on all sizes, but is otherwise identical to the US model.

    Popular TV Comparisons

    The Toshiba C350 2023 is a basic entry-level TV and is one of the cheapest options you can get. It's a good choice if you're just looking for a decent-sized option and don't care about extra features or picture quality, although it's a bit worse overall than the similarly priced TCL S4/S450G or Amazon Fire TV 4-Series. It's also a solid improvement over its predecessor, the Toshiba C350 Series 2021. If you're willing to pay a bit more, the Hisense A6/A65K is a much better option, although it's exclusive to Costco.

    See our recommendations for the best budget TVs, the best smart TVs, and the best small TVs.

    Insignia F50 QLED

    The Insignia F50 QLED is better than the Toshiba C350 Series 2023 due to its deeper contrast, brighter panel, and wider color gamut. Toshiba's IPS-type panel gives it a wider viewing angle, making it the better pick for wide seating arrangements. The Insignia is, however, the better pick for gamers due to its faster response time and slightly quicker input lag.

    Insignia F30 Series 2022

    The Toshiba C350 Series 2023 is slightly better than the Insignia F30 Series 2022. They both have terrible contrast, but the Toshiba's is a bit better overall. It is also the brighter TV in HDR and SDR and is more accurate in SDR, although the Insignia is more accurate in HDR. The Insignia has better HDR native gradient handling and low-quality content smoothing, while the Toshiba has better upscaling performance. They're close enough that you might want to opt for the cheaper model, even if the Toshiba slightly outperforms Insignia.

    Hisense A6H

    The Hisense A6H and Toshiba C350 Series 2023 are very similar TVs overall and are of similar quality. They both have terrible contrast, but the Toshiba's is a bit better overall. The Toshiba also gets a bit brighter, so it looks better than the Hisense in any brightness setting. The Hisense has better upscaling capabilities, so it's better at cleaning up low-resolution content, and it can remove 24p judder from more sources than the Toshiba, making it a bit better for watching low-resolution movies or TV shows.

    TCL S4/S450G

    The TCL S4/S450G is a bit better than the Toshiba C350 Series 2023, although the Toshiba is the brighter TV of the two, making it better overall as a bright room TV. The Toshiba also has a much wider viewing angle, making it a better choice for a wide seating arrangement. However, the TCL has vastly better contrast and black uniformity, so it looks significantly better in a dark room or even in a moderately lit room with its good reflection handling.

    The TV has a modern design that looks great in any room. It has thin bezels on three sides, with a thicker curved bottom bezel. The feet are slim and made of metal and don't take up much space.

    Stand

    The TV has metal feet that support it well. There is some slight wobbling front to back, but it's not excessive. The feet raise the screen 2.8 inches from the table, so some soundbars fit fine, but thicker ones don't.

    Footprint of the 65-inch stand: 46.8" x 11.8".

    Back

    The back has a mostly flat metallic top part and a thicker plastic housing on the bottom half. The metallic portion is rigid, while there's some flex on the plastic housing, but it isn't excessive. Most of the inputs are side-facing, so they're easy to access unless the TV is mounted flush against the wall. There are clips built into the feet to help with cable management.

    Build Quality

    The TV's build quality is decent. The materials are fairly sturdy, especially the metal portion on the back. There's a bit of flex in the plastic portion of the back, but this isn't uncommon and won't cause any issues. The metal feet are sturdy and support it well, but there's some wobble front to back.

    The Toshiba C350 2023 has terrible contrast, so blacks look dull and gray in a dark room, and there's no local dimming feature to help improve it further.

    Blooming

    This TV doesn't have a local dimming feature, so there's no blooming around bright objects or subtitles in dark scenes. But, as it can't brighten highlights without impacting the rest of the image, dark scenes look washed out.

    This TV doesn't have a local dimming feature, so it can't adjust the backlight of individual zones to brighten up highlights without impacting the rest of the image. However, this means that there is no distracting flicker or brightness change as bright highlights move across the screen.

    Unfortunately, this TV has mediocre peak brightness in HDR. HDR content looks flat and dull overall, as it isn't bright enough to bring out specular highlights, and with no local dimming feature, bright spots don't pop at all.

    The accuracy after calibration is fantastic, with a slightly better white balance. The calibration settings are very limited, with only four settings to tweak, making calibration more challenging than it should be. Still, this isn't a TV that you need to calibrate, as it's very accurate after only a few minor adjustments.

    The Toshiba C350 Series has a great viewing angle. The image remains consistent as you move to the side, although it's visibly darker at a wide angle. Still, it's a good choice for a wide seating arrangement, since the image stays consistent even when viewed from the side.

    The Toshiba C350 2023 has decent reflection handling. The semi-gloss coating doesn't disperse reflections very well, so direct reflections are very noticeable and can be distracting. It handles moderate amounts of light well, but considering it doesn't get bright, it's best to avoid placing it in a bright room.

    Upscaling: Sharpness Processing

    The upscaling capabilities are okay. Upscaled images are a bit blurry, but details are preserved well overall, and text is readable.

    Sharpness processing was calibrated for low-resolution or low-bitrate content, with no over-sharpening, with the following setting:

    PWM Dimming Frequency
    180 Hz

    Unfortunately, the backlight uses pulse width modulation (PWM) to dim the backlight, and there's a low flicker frequency at all backlight levels below the maximum. This low-frequency flicker causes duplications in motion and can cause eye strain if you're sensitive to flicker. However, the backlight is flicker-free at max backlight, and since the TV can't get very bright, you can just set it to maximum, and you won't have any issues. This backlight behavior is consistent across all picture modes.

    This TV doesn't have an optional backlight strobing feature, also known as BFI. Instead, the backlight always flickers at 180Hz with the backlight below max, which helps reduce persistence blur but introduces severe image duplication below max brightness.

    The Toshiba C350 2023 automatically removes 24p judder from 24Hz sources like Blu-ray or DVD players, which helps with the appearance of motion in movies. However, it can't remove 24p judder from native apps or from 60Hz sources.

    The frequency response is mediocre overall. It has very little bass, meaning there's no thump or rumble. At mid-range, the frequency response is fairly well-balanced, ensuring that most dialogue sounds clear. It can't get very loud, though, and there's significant compression at max volume.

      hello i have this tv, and im using for play pes21 pc, why i cant get game smoothly

      I have this TV as well, and it is great except for the stutter when using the “game” mode. On game mode, there are stutters every 2-5 seconds. This appears to be a known issue (from reddit posts i have seen), but there does not seem to be a fix for it. There is no stutter in the other modes, but they have high input lag, which does not work for gaming.

      I have this TV for about a year and the image is very clear, Sharp and color are good. I was suprise to see your comment on viewing angle. I have the 55C350LC model and viewing angle is really bad. Picture washout at less than 20 degree.

      Do not buy Toshiba I will never buy Toshiba again. Subpar craftsmanship and materials, and horrible customer service.

      It is my understanding that Hisense manufactures all the TV’s sold under the Toshiba brand these days. So in the case Toshiba TV’s are of subpar craftsmanship you should avoid Hisense TV’s also.

      Do not buy Toshiba This POS failed just shy of its one year warranty and Toshiba told me that they don’t cover this issue. The unit was manufactured in June of 2023 and I purchased and installed it in October of 2023 and has sat in the same location with no trama since it was unboxed and when I contacted Toshiba for service, they sent me, “We are sincerely sorry for the issue you are having with your unit. Please bear in mind that while the outer screen may not show the crack, the inner LCD screen is broken, causing lines in the screen or bleeding. Having said, this is considered an accidental and physical damage, which is not covered under our manufacturer’s warranty, as such, unable to repair any parts of this unit.” I will never buy Toshiba again. Subpar craftsmanship and materials, and horrible customer service.
