With a Blu-ray of The Force Awakens, the orange tones of the lettering in the opening crawl stand out better against the blackness, as do the stars in space as the stormtroopers descend to the planet.

It maintains that clarity better than most when there’s motion in the frame, too, and while it’s naturally at its best with native 4K, it upscales HD very credibly and naturally for such an affordable TV too.The scene where Steve Rogers infiltrates the Lumerian Star is rendered too dim to spot any shadow detail or detail in general. However, while latency is fast, the colour temperature of the game mode skews to blue, and image quality is a little blurry when handling motion in Gran Turismo 7. If you wish to further control these Cookies using a third-party cookie solution, that is supported. It’s hard to think of any TV brand that better fits Forrest Gump’s “life is like a box of chocolate” mantra than Toshiba.

Switching between the DTS and Dolby Atmos tracks on a couple of 4K Blu-rays clearly reveals an expansion in the size of the sound stage, a wider dynamic range, and a more aggressive, forward sound. Whether it’s the CGI wrinkles of Maz, Solo’s worry lines or the smoother skin of Rey and Finn, the Toshiba makes for an enjoyable watch with the colours still holding true and little lost to the darkness. There’s a solid amount of separation to left and right that happens without displacing dialogue from the screen, and the sound enjoys a reasonably ‘forward’ quality, rather than everything sounding as if it’s happening behind the screen.
