Toshiba has chosen IFA 2022 to launch its latest range of televisions. Here is everything the company announced during the event.
If you’re looking to upgrade to a new Toshiba TV, this year might be the perfect time to do so. The brand announced a number of first initiatives of the year, including its first Quantum Dot TV and its first smart sets with Fire TV built-in spanning a range of price points.
Toshiba also revealed that the TikTok TV app will reach all TVs released since 2019, allowing you to sit and click through short videos on a bigger screen at home.
“It is really exciting to bring our first two flagships to the Toshiba line in the UK. Quantum Dot delivers amazing picture quality with superb and improved color reproduction, and we’re bringing it to market at a truly affordable price,” said David Flintoft, Director of Sales and Marketing at Toshiba TV. In the UK, it shows our commitment to delivering high quality to our customers without breaking the bank.
“The UK’s first Fire TV is another big step for us, so stay mobile because we have big plans here. We’ve already proven that we can take our partnership with Amazon to great places with Alexa built-in models and we think Fire TV will be the same.”
