Reviewer score 61% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Toshiba UL5A is the core model in Toshiba's latest budget TV range. It has a 4K resolution, but isn't advanced enough to make much difference with 4K content. Motion handling, especially in Sports mode, is very capable of handling fast sprints down the pitch. It lacks the wide colour gamut of the L7 series, while the panel lacks the brightness control to really make its existing colors pop out.
Pros
- Good picture quality
- Dolby Vision and HDR10 support
Cons
- Lacks wide colour gamut
- No Dolby Atmos support
