Toshiba U79 and U80 Owners Discussion And Review !!

[lightgamer]

I have used this TV for more than 3 years, primarily for gaming (ps5/SX). Can't really complain but started feeling it's age, especially in the OS department.

What would be a good upgrade now in the similar price range (Around 50k). Can't really budget for a LG OLED etc. I see a lot of TV's with 120hz in that price bracket.

If you want an OS upgrade, just get the firestick 4k max or an Apple TV.

The OS was outdated even when the tv was new. I always used firestick.

I am using a firestick.

Would you say it's better to hold off for another year or two than going for something like U7K

U7K was a great deal at launch prices which is why I got one.

Not so much anymore

Hello Guys, need help. My 65 inch u79 tv gone black screen suddenly and audio was still going on. Screen is not completely off... Grey screen like when there is no input kind. Even the toshiba logo is not coming when I swith on. TV was just switched On for 5 minutes so not really because of heat. No other issues prior also (for almost 3 years now). Anyone has manual, looking if some reset would help.

@arunlouie My Toshiba U7980's screen was earlier flickering and then it went quite dark. I can see faint images in the background and there is sound, so I am assuming probable backlight issue. Did you manage to get it fixed? From where? The Reliance Digital guys are quoting me around 8.5k for new backlight.
