And Toshiba hasn’t scrimped on the smart side either, with the revamped UI home to such apps as Netflix, Prime Video and Rakuten TV. The new UI is part of a tile/row interface– scroll up or down and there’s access to Sources, Settings or Live TV. The default Natural picture preset probably offers the most all-round balance – especially if you set Dynamic Contrast to Low. Higher Dynamic Contrast settings again cause elevated levels of noise. What is more encouraging, is that this TV has a good stab at creating a soundstage. It’s not all centred around the panel itself. We close our eyes and there’s a definite sense of the direction of travel as Captain Marvel flies about smashing through Kree spacecraft.

Of course, not everything you watch is available in Dolby Vision. In fact, only a minority of 4K Blu-ray discs and streams support it. But at least the 55UL7A63DB is ready and able to benefit from its picture boost when and where you can access it, whereas most similarly priced TVs are not. The UL5A sports a surprising number of HDMI inputs (four). Other connections include an optical out, LAN, satellite and aerial antenna, two USBs and, interestingly, VGA and component connections. While it makes sense to include the latter for those who wish to connect a PC or other legacy equipment, it does feel antiquated.Lastly, the remote is a big, old-fashioned hunk of plastic – and it isn’t the most responsive either. There’s a smaller remote, but that comes with the more expensive UL7A model.

In fact, it’s hard to work out exactly what Toshiba’s Tru Micro Dimming feature does. Not least because trying the feature’s different settings seems to make very little difference to the picture. Surprisingly for its price, the Toshiba 55UL7A63DB provides both a motion processing system and some relatively in-depth picture calibration tools, including white point and colour balance tweaks. This is impressively ambitious for such an affordable 55-inch TV. The costs for delivery, installation services and monthly insurance products cannot be placed on BNPL. This issue can lead to some colours in dark scenes looking a little ‘polluted’ by greyness too – though at least neither the greyness nor any over-aggressive work by the Tru Micro Dimming system results in any significant loss of shadow detail.

Toshiba's TRU picture technology provides smooth, upscaled and more detailed viewing. 4K means a clearer picture - with more pixels on the screen creating crisper images on the beautiful 55-inch screen. You can also upscale a wide variety of non-4K content, for more refined images that feel more lifelike and immersive. Available in 43in, 49in and 55in models, the Toshiba 55UL5A63DB is aimedsquarely at TV buyers looking for a value proposition. Having fallen on hard times of late, Toshiba’s TV brand is hoping for a resurgence with its latest set of TVs. The UL5A is one of the more affordable sets in its lineup and, undeterred by its budget leanings, offers Dolby Vision HDR and Alexa integration. The available picture modes include Cinema, Natural, Dynamic, Sports and Game alongside their HDR versions. Cinema, Natural and Dynamic are your best bets, but they come with caveats.

Hook up the Toshiba Connect to a USB port and it performs like any other Alexa device, with the Alexa logo popping up on the screen when she’s in use. The blurring is not quite as bad as we drop down in resolution to watch an upscaled version of First Man in Full HD on Blu-ray. Colour handling is still consistent and dark details are certainly no worse than before. In fact, all things considered, this TV’s scaling chops are not bad at all. Up-close you start to notice that Toshiba has chosen to go pretty heavy on the plastic. However, this isn’t especially visible from a typical viewing distance, and while the screen is pretty lightweight, the desktop plinth it attaches to is a startlingly heavy slab of metal. We drop down further to some standard-def daytime TV with Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators. The blurring is still present and the detail is understandably wanting, but that’s what we’d expect at this price. Our TRU picture technology provides smooth, upscaled and more detailed viewing whatever you’re watching. High Dynamic Range offers better contrast, greater brightness levels and a wider colour palette. With its advanced capabilities, Dolby Vision HDR provides a captivating cinema viewing experience. Combined with Dolby Atmos®, be transported from the ordinary into the extraordinary with breath-taking, moving audio that fills your room and flows around you.
