The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other LED, QLED and OLED TVs plus TV mounts, streaming media players, antennas, cables and satellite gear we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Toshiba 40V35RU is a 40-inch 1080p Full HD LED TV priced at $119.99. It is one of the more affordable sets available at this screen size and delivers a resolution that is entirely adequate for content viewed from a typical bedroom or kitchen viewing distance of 6 to 10 feet.
Spec details beyond resolution and display type are limited in the available data. There is no smart platform, refresh rate, connectivity suite, or HDMI count listed, which means this is almost certainly a non-smart display designed for use with external streaming sticks, cable boxes, or gaming consoles. That is not unusual at this price and screen size.
The standout fact here is the review record: 1,000 ratings averaging 4.5 stars is a strong and statistically significant result for an entry-level TV. That kind of consensus is rare and reflects consistent buyer satisfaction across a large sample.
Pros
- 1,000 reviews with a 4.5-star average, the strongest buyer validation in this price range
- Very competitive $119.99 price for a 40-inch LED panel
- 1080p resolution is sharp enough for most secondary-room viewing distances
- LED display technology is reliable and energy-efficient
Cons
- No smart platform listed, so streaming requires an external device
- Refresh rate, HDMI count, and connectivity details are not specified
- 1080p may feel limiting if you later want to use it with a 4K source
- No HDR support listed
Performance notes
The 40-inch LED panel outputs 1080p Full HD. Refresh rate, connectivity, HDMI count, HDR support, dimensions, and weight are not available in the current spec data. This appears to be a basic non-smart LED display based on the absence of a listed smart platform.
What buyers say
With 1,000 reviews and a 4.5-star average, buyer sentiment is clearly positive and the sample is large enough to be meaningful. This is the kind of consensus that suggests consistent build quality and satisfied owners rather than a handful of early reviewers.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Toshiba 40V35RU a smart TV?
Based on the available spec data, no smart platform is listed for this model, which suggests it is a non-smart display. To stream Netflix, Hulu, or other services, you would need to connect an external device such as a Roku stick, Amazon Fire TV stick, or similar streaming player. That adds a small cost but also gives you more flexibility and generally a better interface than many built-in smart systems.
Is 1080p still worth buying in 2025 when 4K is so common?
For a 40-inch TV viewed from a normal room distance of 7 to 10 feet, the difference between 1080p and 4K is very hard to see with the naked eye. Most streaming services also still deliver a lot of content at 1080p or lower. At $120, 1080p at this size is a practical and sensible choice, especially for a secondary room where you are not sitting close to a large screen.
How many HDMI ports does this TV have?
The HDMI port count is not specified in the available data. Toshiba's V-series budget sets typically include two to three HDMI inputs, but you should confirm this on the Amazon product listing before buying, especially if you plan to connect multiple devices at the same time.
