An integrated USB port provides the convenience of multimedia playback directly from USB drives, enabling users to easily access photos, videos, and music.

Moreover, these Toshiba models feature a built-in digital tuner, which is essential for receiving over-the-air television broadcasts without the need for an additional set-top box. This is particularly advantageous for cord-cutters looking to simplify their entertainment setups.

Sound quality is also a priority within the Toshiba 42WL68 series, offering an integrated sound system that delivers clear audio to complement the stunning visuals. While external speakers may enhance the experience even further, the built-in audio capabilities are suitable for casual viewing.
