46HM84 specifications

The Toshiba 46HM84 is a high-definition LCD television that was part of Toshiba's acclaimed line of flat-screen TVs, designed to enhance the viewing experience with its impressive features and technology. Launched with a 46-inch screen size, the 46HM84 became a popular choice among consumers seeking quality and performance.

One of the primary features of the 46HM84 is its 1080p resolution, which translates to a pixel count of 1920 x 1080.
