Compare Prices : Toshiba 40ZF355

Review summary: Flatscreens don't come much flatter than the Toshiba 40ZF355D: it's startling 23mm depth makes pancakes, stick insects and Flat Eric boil with envy.

Pros: It's 23mm thin! That's about as wide as our big thumb

Cons: Weak black levels and overall picture quality could have been better

Verdict: While the Toshiba 40ZF355D doesn't boast the best picture quality around, it gets bonus points for affordability and overall litheness. Another fine slab 'o' slim from Tosh.

Review summary: The 40-inch Toshiba 40ZF355D is part of the company's REGZA range of LCD televisions and offers full-HD, 100Hz picture processing technology in a frame that's just 23mm thin! It has three HDMI ports and a contrast ratio of 30,000:1.

Pros: The Toshiba excels where colour is concerned, busting out unfeasibly bright greens, yellows and oranges that'll have you reaching for your shades – particularly if perma-tanned presenter David Dickinson is on. It's also one of the smaller 40-inch ...

Cons: Picture quality can't match the best out there, thanks to a bit of motion blur during fast-paced movement and rather poor black reproduction. The latter means that black objects and areas on screen look overly bright, especially when you're watching ...

Verdict: The Toshiba 40ZF355D's dinky dimensions give it a compelling selling point. Picture quality could have been better, but for the price, you're getting a super-svelte 40-inch telly. And that can't be bad!

Review summary: Toshiba's latest ultra-slim set is a paragon of space-efficiency, and it looks fabulous, too

Pros: Fine picture performance. Compact, elegant cabinet. Good all-round ability

Cons: Not the last word in standard-definition performance. Build is more OK than oh-wow

Review summary: As part of Toshiba's 'Picture Frame' range, its trick is that it shrinks its bezel down to an almost unfeasible size; just 23mm across. This means that your picture almost looks like it's floating in mid air - an effect that's not as showy as our ...

Pros: A design so subtle it's startling, takes up less space than any other 40in TV, decent HD pictures, fair price

Cons: Strange flickering effect to pictures, standard definition performance isn't the best
