Toshiba 32LL3C63DB 32-inch, Full HD, Freeview Play, Smart TV (2021 Model)

Product Information

If you really want to boost what's available to watch on your new TV, you may want to consider a VPN. For example, the best VPN for Netflix will grant you access to the catalogues of any country in the world, like the US, Japan or Australia. These countries have different shows, meaning greater variety of choices for you. Do smart TVs need to be connected to the internet? We could repeat what was said about the U29 as apart from a few differences the two sets are virtually alike. The Toshiba L6353 does have a Game mode available and you will need to use it – or the PC Mode – for ultimate responsiveness. We measured input lag at around the 30 millisecond mark, which is very impressive and means most current gen console games will lag by less than a frame. We’d actually recommend using PC rather than Game as it has a more pleasing – read less garish – default picture with less forced sharpening. Dolby Vision provides some benefits, but also highlights some deficiencies too. Motion looks even more artificial with some content, giving a show like Netflix’s Stranger Things an even more unreal look. It’s likely down to your preference for the effect, but it’s not always consistently applied and it’s enough to break the immersion in certain moments.

Best 32-Inch TVs of 2023 - Whats The Best

Looking at 32-inch screens, the ideal viewing distance is around 3-4 feet. Any closer than that, and you'll be straining to see the whole picture at once. If you have to sit more than 10-12 feet away, and you have the space, consider a 43-inch model.The Toshiba L6353 is an attractive enough TV and we rather like its simplicity and silver accent at the bottom of the bezel. The remote is another Toshiba curio, however, and is a bit large and cumbersome for our tastes. Connectivity options are very impressive for a 32-inch TV with the highlights including 4 HDMI, 2 USB, Wi-Fi and WiFi Direct. We also like Toshiba’s newly designed Cloud Portal, it’s clean and fresh and (usually) speedy to navigate through. The new iDevice app is also impressive and we hope it comes to Android soon. The number of services are a little more limited than other Smart TV platforms but there should be enough there for most. Alternatively, you've got Disney Plus, you'll get the latest and greatest Marvel shows on demand. There are thousands of Disney classics, which now include the Star Wars franchise. You get screen-mirroring via Miracast but Toshiba continues to reserve Chromecast for its Android TVs, which aren’t widely available in the UK. The UL20 works with Alexa or Google Assistant voice support through an external Echo or Nest Audio smart speaker. There is also the addition of Bluetooth, which was omitted from the U29. Toshiba wasted no time replacing its budget-priced U29 set that went on sale earlier in 2020. The UL20 arrives less than six months after the U29, a TV that we praised for its solid performance and feature set.

The Best 32-Inch TVs UK 2023 - Yours

When looking for a truly great TV, sometimes simplicity is bliss - but can the best 32-inch TVs really compete? After all, the latest and greatest TVs have 80-inch screens and offer monstrous resolutions, AI processing, and more speakers inside than your local hi-fi shop. But why do you actually need all of that for casual watching in smaller rooms? Spoiler: you don't. You're probably not going to come across many 32-inch TVs with resolutions at the higher end of the scale. This is partly because the production of small models has dropped in the wake of TVs 50 inches or larger. Game mode measured in at a meandering 33.8ms. With Game mode off, the set also measured 33.8ms. You wonder what the point of a Game Mode is if there’s no benefit to be had. Performance – Compromised but a solid effort at this sizeDV does give colours a bit more vim and vigour for a handsome look. The New Orleans of Netflix’s Project Power is treated with more élan, the various powers exhibited throughout more visually potent as a result. Video deinterlacing was also a touch sub-par, with some break-up of detail evident under movement and some quite unusual artefacting displayed on a couple of ‘jaggies’ tests involving rotating bars. Again, when watching actual content it’s not hugely obvious but it’s another area of video processing where Toshiba should be looking to improve.
