Toshiba 32LF2F53DB review: an ultra-cheap 32-inch TV that falls short of greatness

Angled image of the Toshiba 32LF2F53DB displaying a picture of the sea.

The Toshiba 32LF2F53DB is a super-cheap small TV with a flawed, yet competent full HD display. Although the Toshiba 32LF2F53DB has an RRP of £199.99 (not available outside the UK) it’s often available for under £150 – meaning it’s an attractive budget option.

But how good is it really? Well, let’s start where it matters most – picture quality. And I’ll make something clear from the offset – I wasn’t expecting anything incredible from the Toshiba 32LF2F53DB, given it has a 32-inch, LED display. But even still, out of the box, I felt the picture was a touch disappointing, despite HDR support. For example, I tuned into Top Gun Maverick on Netflix and during an outdoor scene set at night, Jennifer Connelly’s hair colour looked slightly inaccurate and features of both her and Tom Cruise – such as lines on their hands and faces – lacked definition and sharpness. Having said that, the general picture quality was still adequate – I wasn’t finding the display to be blurry and even if hair wasn’t replicated impeccably in terms of colour, textures weren’t overly blocky or anything.
