Toshiba 43L2163DB 43" Smart Full HD HDR LED TV Freeview Play (Renewed)

Product Information

TV: 567 x 973 x 81 mm (H x W x D) - TV with stand: 620 x 973 x 234 mm (H x W x D) - Boxed: 710 x 1085 x 154 mm (H x W x D) Moving on to Dolby Vision-supported content and Cinema mode is replaced with Dolby Vision Dark and Dolby Vision Bright. Dolby Vision Bright is designed to be used in rooms with a lot of ambient light, while Dark is best suited to rooms that are more, well, dark. You can switch that off and try the DTS processing instead, which we feel is an improvement. It means losing the width, but there’s a touch more clarity and precision about the audio as it offers up a better sense of detail. The Toshiba 43L2163DB is a television with a display diagonal of 43 inches, offering a full HD viewing experience with a display resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It utilizes LED technology, providing a bright and vibrant picture on its flat screen. With a display brightness of 300 cd/m², it delivers a clear and visually engaging viewing experience.

It’s important to note that when shopping for gadgets and technology products, it can be tempting to go for the lowest price possible. However, be wary of retailers that offer prices that seem too good to be true. Some less reputable retailers may sell counterfeit or low-quality products, which can be dangerous and not perform as well as the genuine product. The picture is solid at all levels. For detail, for scaling, for contrast and largely for colour too, it performs well for its low price. The only real reason not to buy this TV is that there are bigger and better ones available for similar money.The UL21 is one of four 4K and HD Ready TVs launched by Toshiba at the end of 2021 that balance a handful of high-end features at an affordable price. This is a good TV from Toshiba and a big improvement on what we’ve seen from this former great in recent years. The sound performance is poor, but that’s not an insurmountable problem, given that we’d usually advise some form of external sound source anyway.

Unlike some of Toshiba’s 2021 TVs, the UL21 doesn’t support Android TV, meaning you won’t get access to the Play Store or certain apps. However, there is still a selection of popular streaming apps available and the UI is very simple to navigate. Used to store visitor-level custom variable data.

While audio isn’t expansive, it avoids the bunched up feel of the A7500F with good vocal clarity with both male and female voices, some decent panning of effects and all-round good sense of intelligibility.

We could repeat what was said about the U29 as apart from a few differences the two sets are virtually alike. In addition, high-quality gadgets and technology products tend to have better performance. This is particularly important for products that are used for tasks such as gaming, video editing, or graphic design. A high-quality TOSHIBA 43L2163DB Smart Full HD HDR LED TV is likely to have better specs and features, which will translate into better performance and a better user experience.

There’s also support for Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The first boosts the TV’s HDR, alongside HDR10 and HLG, while the second claims to offer more immersive audio, which I’ll expand on in the sound section. This review relates to the 43-inch variant in the UL20 line-up, a size that makes it perfect for a second room or a bedroom. Could Toshiba be onto another budget winner? Design – Virtually the same as the U29 Eleven’s skin is warm and saturated in the episode, as are the skin tones in an episode of Formula 1: Drive to Survive. The result is a lively – if a bit orange – appearance both in direct sunlight and in the moodier lighting of Hawkins.

The set’s motion handling is not the strongest though. The Low setting feels best as nudging it higher makes the ‘soap opera’ effect more obvious adding blur, fuzzy definition and jerkiness to movement. If you’re happy with a slight bit of stutter then keep it off entirely. Toshiba wasted no time replacing its budget-priced U29 set that went on sale earlier in 2020. The UL20 arrives less than six months after the U29, a TV that we praised for its solid performance and feature set.

My preferred setting was Cinema mode, which has a warm quality to it with deeper reds and more orange-toned yellows. I also found Cinema mode toned down the pinks and blues more prominent in the default Natural mode, offering a more coherent set of colours when streaming movies and TV shows. Another important factor to consider is longevity. When you buy a high-quality TOSHIBA 43L2163DB Smart Full HD HDR LED TV, you’re making an investment that is likely to last longer. Cheaper products may seem like a good deal at the time, but they are often made with lower-quality materials and are not designed to last as long. This means that you may end up having to replace your device sooner, which can end up costing you more in the long run. For audio devices you should use the Audio Link option via the following menu options on the TV: System > Sound Menu. For remote controllers, use the following: System > Options > More > Smart Remote. Select the menu option on your remote, and press ‘OK’ to open the related menu.

In terms of connectivity, this television model comes with two HDMI ports for easy connection to external devices such as gaming consoles, streaming devices, or Blu-ray players. Additionally, it offers one Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) port, enabling a wired internet connection for accessing online content. Push and pull a little on the contrast and brightness settings, and this TV will render the complex cloudy sky with the kind of shading and subtlety that outstrips plenty of last year’s models at this level, including those of bigger brands, such as Panasonic.
