Toshiba 55UK3163DB TV 139.7 cm (55") 4K Ultra HD Smart TV Wi-Fi Black

Product Information

After a rocky start when it relaunched in the UK under the custodianship of Turkish brand Vestel, Toshiba has hit upon a consistent run of form, the last few sets have been met with four-star reviews from this very site. Bass is lacking, as expected, and voices tread on being overly sharp, the overall presentation cramped rather than the expansive soundfield Atmos is noted for. If this has not resolved the issue, please contact us using the details on the right hand side of this page. Both are good scores, though they don’t translate to jaw-dropping HDR images, which is to be expected given how affordable the UL21 is.

If you’re looking for something from one of the bigger name manufacturers, be prepared to spend a bit more. As is the case with most budget televisions, the UL21 will benefit tremendously from a decent soundbar. This shouldn’t be held against Toshiba though, as these simply aren’t features that have made their way into cheap televisions yet. Perhaps I just didn’t make myself clear, but there do appear to be limitations to how much you can ask of the digital assistant.The Toshiba UK31 is an above-average budget TV that manages to combine a decent level of performance with sensible streaming service support as well as Alexa smart functionality. You’ll need an external audio system for this TV; the onboard speakers lack weight and dynamism, with dialogue sounding unintelligible at times.

though Natural mode will likely be the one most people gravitate towards as colours appear more vivid. It’s hard to think of any TV brand that better fits Forrest Gump’s “life is like a box of chocolate” mantra than Toshiba.Your final option on the launcher bar is Home, which is where you’ll find a list of installed apps displayed in two rows along the bottom of the screen. For a TV that only achieves 336 nits of peak brightness, the Toshiba 50UK3163DB delivers surprisingly aggressive HDR pictures.
