Was thinking of a second television for another room, wasn't awareToshiba made televisions anymore so surely the name must be licensed to someone like Vestel.

Anyone got an opinion on this?

For £349 is it worth a punt or will the quality be noticeably terrible compared to my main Sony Bravia 4K one thing I notice that it is only 50HZ. Will be using a Sonos Soundbar so volume wise I'm not bothered.

Seems bloody cheap if it supports all the HDR formats. Good future proofing. A TV is really something than needs to be personally demoed first though. Specs and marketing don't necessarily equate to performance.

On further inspection I can't tell if its an 8 or 10 bit panel. It doesn't support wide colour gamut so I'm guessing it's likely 8-bit which means it likely only processes an HDR signal and doesn't actual display the advantages which might explain the price? Not sure just a quick google.

Whether that is important to you or not is another matter of course. If its just a cheap 2nd TV you're looking for then I'm sure it's be perfectly good.
