Toshiba 65X9863DB hands on

Almost a year to the day after Toshiba announced its partnership with Vestel and re-entry into the European TV market, the venerable Japanese brand announced a slew of new TVs at IFA 2017. And the line-up appears to have more variety than a Celebrations tub, from a 24in HD-ready Star Wars-themed telly (the figurative Bounty, perhaps) at one end and a 65in 4K HDR OLED (doubtless the Malteser of the lot) at the other.

Anyone over the age of 14 will be pleased to know we spent more time with the latter. The Toshiba 65X9863DB OLED, of which there is also a €1700 55in version, is the brand’s latest flagship – and with a suggested retail price of €3500 (around £3200), is one of the cheaper OLEDs of its size. (The 65in versions of LG’s B7 and C7 OLED ranges are now available around the £3000 mark.)

The 65in X97 – announced earlier this summer – is the brand’s first 4K OLED, but the new 65X9863DB adds the all-important HDR support. And it does so wholeheartedly, supporting both HDR 10 and Dolby Vision. It’s also geared up for Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) when it arrives.
