About this deal
related feature the 50UK3163DB’s HDMIs do support is automatic low latency mode switching, so that the TV can activate its low input lag game mode when a game source is detected. The 145-year-old firm turned its back on personal computers in June 2020, leaving televisions as one of its few remaining consumer-facing sectors.
The Toshiba UK31 is fairly pedestrian in terms of its design, using a simple 10mm bezel and equally nondescript stand, with both finished in gloss black. If you wish to further control these Cookies using a third-party cookie solution, that is supported. Toshiba continues to support Dolby’s dynamic HDR format for improved picture quality (at least over HDR10) with apps such as Netflix and Disney+. The way you can simply shift up or down from the home menu to access the TV’s settings and other features is actually pretty inspired, too. Facing rearwards you’ll find an optical digital output, an Ethernet port, a satellite connector, a headphone jack, and a third HDMI 2.Treble can get quite harsh at high volumes, especially if there’s a dense soundmix underneath, and bass is in limited supply too. 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.
resolution The LED display has a resolution of 3840 x 2160 and comes with TRU Micro Dimming and TRU Resolution. Scenes in Pacific Rim that see kaiju against jaeger lack size and scale, leading to an unexciting performance. As far as app support is concerned, the TV supports many of the usual suspects including Netflix, Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub and Britbox. The screen just doesn’t seem able to support a wide enough colour gamut to ‘keep up’ with its intense brightness, leading to some bright tones looking a bit thin and washed out versus some rivals.One final strength of the 50UK3163DB’s pictures is that dark scenes aren’t impacted by any really distracting backlight blooming or general clouding inconsistencies.
