A whole new range of Toshiba TVs was launched today at IFA in Berlin, but one of them stands out and it serves to rival some of the big players in the game, including some ofSamsung’s sets.
The Toshiba QA5D is the Japanese company’s first-ever Quantum Dot TV and it looks set to be one of thebest TVsfor anyone who wants this top-tier tech on a tighter budget.
You’ll be able to buy it in sizes ranging from 43-inches suited to a small living room, right up to a more home-cinema-worthy 65-inches.
I saw it in the flesh and it’s certainly a looker with a sleek frameless design and a choice of simple, discreet feet to prop it up or a central platform stand. It will undoubtedly fit in no matter your living room decor and it’s super slim too. But of course, it’s quality that really matters.

One of the very best things about the Toshiba QA5D is that it uses theAndroidTV operating system which is easy to navigate and very comprehensive, featuring all of the most popular streaming apps including Now,Disney+ andNetflixas well as extra smarts like Chromecast and theGoogleAssistant. Samsung’s equivalent is Tizen OS and while it does look nice and do the job well, it’s nowhere near as intuitive and won’t work anywhere near as well for those with a Google Home setup.

Aside from all of that, the one big thing that makes Toshiba’s Quantum Dot TV really convincing is the price. One of Samsung’s cheapest QLED TVs, the Q65A, starts at £449 for the 43-inch model whereas Toshiba is offering a 43-inch set for only £399. That’s a huge difference, especially now that everyone is watching their wallets that little bit more.
You can buy the Toshiba QA5D right now from retailers includingAmazon, AO and Argos.
