Product Information

All new sets across all four ranges are set to feature the TikTok TV app built-in, allowing you to watch content from your 'For You' and 'Following' feeds on the big screen. QLED stands for Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode and is a display technology that uses quantum dots to create brighter and more vibrant colors. This technology is similar to OLED but is more affordable and provides brighter images. QLED televisions are an excellent option for those who want a high-quality picture without spending much money. Ambient Mode The One Connect Box is a feature available on some Samsung televisions. This box connects to the tv and houses all of the connections, including HDMI and USB ports. This feature allows for a cleaner and more organized setup, as all cables can be hidden away in the box. This feature is ideal for those who want a neat and tidy home entertainment setup.

When it comes to supported content, the young at heart will be happy to find Twitch and TikTok apps on the 50UK4D63DB’s app list, and those six direct app access buttons on the remote are welcome shortcuts. It’s a real shame, though, that Toshiba has not yet been able to persuade Disney+ or Apple TV to join the 50UK4D63DB’s cause. Of course, there are some downsides to OLED technology - they're somewhat susceptible to screen burn, with images lingering on the screen if they're left on standby for too long. Is a QLED TV worth it? You can improve things marginally – and we do mean marginally – by tinkering with the Adaptive Luma and Local Contrast controls. But even with the 55QA5D63DB’s contrast optimised as much as possible, very dark scenes in beloved films are honestly difficult to watch.

The Toshiba QA5D launches this year alongside a range of affordable TVs

Dolby Vision is far from the only HDR format the 55QA5D63DB supports. In fact, it also covers all three of the other key HDR formats found in today’s content world: HDR10, HLG and HDR10+. This means that the 55QA5D63DB will take in the best version available of any source it’s presented with. There is genuine support for ALLM, though, where the TV shifts in and out of its fast-responding Game preset depending on what sort of content your console or PC is outputting. Input lag in Game mode is a very low 10.1ms with 60Hz games, too. Soundbar: A soundbar can improve the sound quality of your television, providing a more immersive experience. The Toshiba UF3D has a variety of connectivity options that make it easy to connect to other devices. It has three HDMI ports, which allow users to connect multiple devices, such as gaming consoles or Blu-ray players. It also has a USB port for connecting external devices. The Smart Fire TV interface is intuitive and easy to use. It provides access to a variety of apps, including music streaming services and news apps. The television also has a variety of other features that enhance the viewing experience, including a dynamic picture mode that adjusts the picture settings based on the content being viewed.

The IPS panel can’t stop contrast suffering quite badly during viewing from an angle, though, giving us one apt final reminder that for all the things the 55QA5D63DB gets right, its problems with contrast are so fundamental during all but the most glaringly bright content that they’re really pretty hard to live with. In fact, we much prefer the pictures of Toshiba’s substantially cheaper 50UK4D63B, proving – not for the first time – that just throwing Quantum Dots at a screen isn’t the guarantee of better picture quality you might expect. At least at the budget end of the TV world.

The Toshiba UF3D is available in a range of sizes, from 43 to 65 inches, making it suitable for viewing environments. The 50-inch model is popular, providing a large viewing area without being too bulky or expensive. Users can choose the size that best fits their viewing environment and budget. 4K Resolution Also available in 43”, 50”, 55” and 65” variants, but featuring a regular Direct LED panel, the UF3D TV’s all feature Toshiba’s TRU Picture Engine, Dolby Vision, HDR10, Dolby Atmos as well as an Onkyo speaker system. The picture quality of the Toshiba UF3D is exceptional. The television delivers stunning and lifelike images with its 4K Ultra HD display and HDR technology. The colors are bright and vivid, and the sharp contrast makes even the smallest details visible.
