The fact that its HDR support stretches to Dolby Vision is particularly welcome, as it shows a genuine interest in trying to give consumers a premium picture experience. In fact, Dolby Vision tends to have more beneficial impact on relatively affordable TVs like this Toshiba than it does on really high-end sets.

Providing Dolby Vision on top of the more routine HDR10 and HLG HDR formats is still a compelling proposition, though. 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.Ironically, the "smart" features in many TVs can often make them seem a little dumb. If your TV is connected to other smart home devices, like SmartThings, Alexa, Google Home, or Logitech Harmony, it's possible some routine or automation is powering your TV on or off by accident.

The 50UK3163DB’s sound, like its pictures, is pretty good for such an affordable TV. 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. The only problems with the smart system, really, are that it can be a bit sluggish to load when you hit the Home button, and that it doesn’t currently carry either the Disney+ or Apple TV apps. The former enables the TV to take advantage of extra scene-by-scene data delivered by Dolby Vision sources, while the latter sees the TV taking on the challenge of creating a soundstage capable of delivering at least a sense of Dolby Atmos’s object-based approach to sound.If a device isn't certified, it won't be listed below.

It can be a very convenient feature when it works as intended. However, when it misbehaves, it means your TV will turn on and off from misinterpreted signals.Open your TV's settings menu and disable CEC to see if it solves the problem. The UL2063 comes with a full-size IR remote control, sporting dedicated buttons for Prime Video, Netflix and Freeview Play. Not that you have to rely on the zapper. You can always use voice commands to switch channels, tweak volume or ask your digital assistant for a news update or weather report. You’ll need an Alexa or Google device on your network to use voice control – they’re not built-in.We can deduce from all these price variants that Toshiba sees this model as a big volume box shifter. Clearly, when you’re shopping on a tight budget, compromises are inevitable. This isn’t a TV with the chops to dazzle with HDR sources – although the provision of Dolby Vision is welcome and useful – but what it does have is a high level of overall usability. The 50UK3163DB isn’t just unexpectedly bold with HDR, either. It also gets impressive value from its native 4K resolution. Good-quality native 4K sources, especially 4K Blu-rays, look much richer in texture, clarity and depth than HD images do, despite the 50-inch screen being fairly small by today’s 4K standards.
