The morall of this story is - stay away from Toshiba!!As was previously stated your TV is (was) Vestel in new colours. Most other brands are repackaged Vestel products - Toshiba, Sony, Goodman, HItachi, JVC, the Argos brands Alba and Bush, Sharp, Panasonic (off and on)... The only companies who make their own TVs these days are Sony, Samsung and LG, which is reflected in the price. Some of the other brands like Philips pulled out years ago and "their" TVs are again something else with their name slapped on it.So if you want to avoid Vestel (aka cheap and cheerful), don't buy anything unless its one of the three exceptions.
Cheers.
if going LG check you need to pay the extra for the C the B are often better value.
Stick Panasonic on your list.

Get the Sony for the better quality video panel.0

They are all still all LG panels inside.
The differences are in the connections, software, picture processing
Sony better motion and sound
For many the LG wins with 4x HDMI 2.1 ports which support variable sync
.neither has HDR10+ if that is wanted it is back to the Philips.0 -
Just had great service from Richer Sounds - under 6 year warranty on a Panasonic 50" TV. Ended up swapping the TV out for a brand new Samsung 55" (UE55TU8500). Way better TV (especially on the apps built in - which many manufacturers only pay lip-service to). Can't fault it, picture, sound, all good - and also came with a brand new 6 year warranty again. Superb.2
