Toshiba 43UV2F53DBU 4K Smart VIDAA TV, Ultra HD, HDR10, Freely, Disney+, Prime Video, Netflix, Dolby Atmos and Vision, Sound by Onkyo, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant, VIDAA Voice, 2024

I bought this TV for the spare bedroom for when guests may stay and want to watch their own shows, rather than our preferred options on the main home TV set. The presence of the UK Freely app on the Toshiba model is a big bonus for us because we have no antenna connection point in the spare bedroom and the only way for anyone to be able to watch TV in there is by wi-fi. Just for clarity, the set can also tune in regular digital TV (DTV) channels that are receivable over the air with an antenna, and there is a connection port for one on the back of the cabinet. We just haven't used that particular element of the set's functionality because we don't need to. The range of channels on the UK Freely app is limited in comparison to what is otherwise available on UK Freeview digital terrestrial TV, but this hasn't proved to be an issue in our home. Setting the TV up was fairly straightforward, and it operates very well so far. The picture and sound quality are pretty good and it has a range of setting options to cover various personal viewing preferences or room conditions. The remote control also works well. The buttons are clearly labelled and operate positively. You wouldn't know to look at it, that the set was operating as a streaming device. The quality is largely indistinguishable from standard over-the-air antenna based TV. If I wanted to nit pick the Toshiba for anything, sometimes the software is a bit slow responding to commands from the remote, but that really is a nit pick. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase. The Toshiba was well-priced and, for the price paid, it is a good budget TV model, which I would wholeheartedly recommend to others.

So, my partners TV just stopped working one day and he needed a new one. This was an amazing quality TV for the price (back in summer 2025). Very vibrant colours and the gaming on it is amazing, freely is also included and works well on WiFi and Ethernet. The sound quality is amazing for films and you can set them in the settings and no lag at all.

menu navigation a bit cumbersome.

Wow wow wow. I love my telly and the freely app is the best way of viewing normal television if that's what you want. It's easy to navigate the buttons and really simple to set up with the remote as long as you have your WiFi password handy haha.. The picture is amazing and shockingly good for the price

Brilliant tv, easy to set up and connect to the internet via wifi. Light weight so easy to move around, good picture and sound. Highly recommend if like me you are on a budget, cheap good quality tv without the pricy tag but good quality picture and sound like it’s more expensive cousins.

***update** two months later and well Wow.... everything about this TV is awesome, colours are stunning, performance is excellent and picture quality is absolutely outstanding!!! ***** Had this delivered today and what can I say, absolutely fantastic TV. Gorgeous picture, fantastic sound compared to the samsung 7020 50 inch TV I returned today and an absolute piece of cake to set up. Everything about this set says quality- and for £50 less than the samsung. Buy it!! 100% recommended

Lovely tv

For the price this is a good little tv. Using my phone and bar codes it was easy to set up, even for me. I had one small issue, it took me ages to find where to plug in the power lead !!! I’m struggling to get the power lead to fit in firmly, it comes out if the tv is moved. But I do have very weak wrist joints, so that won’t be helping. Apart from that, it does exactly what I need :)
