Toshiba UK31 4K smart TV (58-inch): 529 449 at AO
Save 80 - Toshiba's UK31 is new for 2021 and comes packed with a 4K screen resolution, TRU picture engine software, and HDR10 plus Doby Vision to
deliver a strong picture performance. This Black Friday deal brings it to a new low price, and one you won't want to miss.
Toshibas UK31 is one of the brands latest TVs for 2021. This 4K smart display comes with Dolby Vision and HDR to maximize its viewing experience, as well
as an inbuilt TRU picture engine that automatically upscale images, provides smart contrast, and provides smoother motion to keep up with fast-paced action.
With Dolby Atmos support the systems sound codec can allow for awesome audio if you have the right setup the TV's speakers do an okay job but a dedicated soundbar wouldn't go amiss.
The UK31's sleek frame and design dont give off the impression this is a budget TV and you can also mount it on your wall for maximum decadence.
There are some issues with the set though, the biggest problem is the OS
which is in dire need of an update. While youll find apps for Netflix and Amazon Prime theres no Disney Plus , Apple TV Plus , or Spotify meaning you cant natively watch great shows like The Mandolarian and Ted Lasso .
Youll also find that the TVs Alexa integration isnt much to write home about either, unless youre already integrated into the Amazon smart home ecosystem then youll find Alexa to be more of an annoying gimmick than a genuinely useful tool.
However Alexa can be switched off and the OS woes can be easily solved with a streaming stick - and cheaply too if you shop around for the best Chromecast or Fire TV stick Black Friday deals .
The only concern that's left is that the TVs picture quality is less world-shattering than more expensive sets. However, at under half of the cost of the cheapest OLED screen (even after this years Black Friday deals), its a problem that you easily look past in the search for a bargain. More Toshiba UK31 deals
