This improves perceived motion resolution, and the UK31 handles 24p content without introducing judder, allowing movies to retain a film-like quality.
The TV also takes advantage of Toshiba’s TRU Micro Dimming and TRU Resolution picture technologies, and is compatible with both Alexa and Google Assistant. While the TV's interface is easy to navigate a major issue you'll notice out of the gate is that some key streaming apps are missing.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. As a result, there’s little in the way of bass extension, and the restricted soundstage tends to sound brittle at higher volumes. Toshiba's TRU Picture Engine software alongside Dolby Vision and HDR support ensures this set delivers a crisp, smooth image with decent contrast that is sure to enhance your viewing experience next time you binge a TV show. The colour performance in SDR (standard definition range) displays natural colours, consistent with other Toshiba TVs I’ve tested, with a nice punch to colours in Pacific Rim on Blu-ray. Though if you like watching the latest hits from Disney Plus or Apple TV Plus make sure to grab a streaming stick first (such as a Chromecast or Fire TV Stick) as the UK31's smart platform is lacking several key services.
If you wish to further control these Cookies using a third-party cookie solution, that is supported. Facing rearwards you’ll find an optical digital output, an Ethernet port, a satellite connector, a headphone jack, and a third HDMI 2. The Toshiba UK31 is a 4K (3,840 x 2,160) HDR smart LED LCD TV that comes in screen sizes ranging from 43in to 65in. So long as you respect its limitations, though, it sounds good enough to let you put plans to pick up one of the best soundbars on the back burner for a while. The construction of the chassis is noticeably plastic, and just as noticeable is the chunky bezel that stripes the screen.The really startling thing about the 50UK3163DB’s HDR performance is that as well as delivering bright HDR shots with an impressively high level of baseline brightness, it still has enough brightness headroom to shift up another gear for the sort of ultra-intense highlights that really make HDR shine. So much so, in fact, that they make the efforts of even some recent LCD TVs we’ve seen from the usually dependable Samsung look soft and undefined by comparison. On the 50UK3163DB every raindrop splash is accompanied by a marked HDR gleam, while the light reflecting on the windows of the houses and parked cars blares out with all the intensity you’d expect to see if you were there sploshing down the street after poor Georgie. Ethernet port to connect to the internet via cable, internet connection via Wi-Fi, the Linux operating system, in addition to the rest of the features listed below.
However, the built-in Alexa support for the UK31 isn't quite as polished as in more premium TVs, the voice assistant often reacting even when we haven't said ‘Hey Alexa’. If you’re not a fan of Alexa, the UK31 also works with Google Assistant, making it a smart TV with a degree of voice control. But, if you can afford to splash out on a soundbar then you’ll be treated to a major boost in performance. Gaming performance is generally good, with the low input lag producing a responsive and enjoyable experience.
If this has not resolved the issue, please contact us using the details on this page and provide us with the model number and serial number of the TV. The TV can’t decode DTS, but includes a number of self-explanatory sound modes: Music, Movie, Speech, Classic, Flat, and User.
In fact, when it comes to the bright end of the light spectrum, it delivers arguably the most aggressive HDR performance in its class. The limited colour gamut still looks suitably punchy, but the poor tone-mapping with HDR10 does result in a tendency to clip some of the highlights. Every small detail from the clank of metal on metal to the creak of a fence opening to the slightest scratch of pen on paper is sharp and audible, though Bilbo’s narration remains the loudest sound we hear. The Tru Contour feature can be used to minimise banding with heavily compressed content, and while Tru Micro Dimming is supposed to improve the contrast levels, since this uses processing rather than actual dimming zones, the blacks remain more of a very dark grey.
Like most affordable TVs, the highs and lows are something that benefit from a boost from a soundbar, but I don’t think this is a necessary purchase if you don’t plan on watching many intense action scenes. Awarded the 4K HDR Ultra HD logo, all of Toshiba's HDR TV's have been proven to deliver and faithfully display 4K HDR content in all it's glory. Expect the usual list of skills, with the ability to jump between inputs, tweak volume and bring up apps. Its speakers are powerful and dynamic enough, for instance, to deliver an expansive sound capable of shifting up and down a few gears quite convincingly during the ebb and flow of a powerful action scene.
