Another notable characteristic is Toshiba’s variable picture modes, which allow users to customize their viewing preferences depending on the content being viewed or the ambient light in the room. Options typically include settings designed for sports, movies, and standard viewing.

The design of both televisions is sleek and modern, complementing any home decor. The rear projection technology means that they can be placed close to walls, making them a suitable choice for smaller spaces without sacrificing the size of the screen.
