The Toshiba 42AV500U and 26AV500U are part of Toshiba's acclaimed line of flat-screen LCD televisions that blend advanced technology with an elegant design, catering to diverse consumer needs.

The Toshiba 42AV500U features a stunning 42-inch display, making it suitable for larger living rooms or entertainment spaces. It offers a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, ensuring sharp and vibrant images that bring movies, sports, and video games to life. The TV supports 120Hz refresh rate technology, which minimizes motion blur during fast-paced scenes, providing a smooth viewing experience.
