Toshiba doesn't have a Community star to sell its new TVs, but it's hoping it can attract you with a few cool features. Its newly launched series comes in various sizes and offers the Fire TV experience with a voice-enabled Alexa remote.No matter which size you choose — 43”, 50”, 55”, 65”, or 75” — you'll get a 4K LCD panel that's Dolby Vision and HDR10 certified. The bezels are appreciably thin, and there's support for DTS: Virtual X which should add some depth to your media experience.With Fire TV onboard, you get the regular smarts, including support for just about every streaming service available for you to dive into. These TVs will also be able to show video feeds from compatible doorbell cameras on top of the content you're watching. Simply ask Alexa to show you a preview of the camera, and a PiP window will serve your needs.
Amazon discounts 50" 4K Insignia Fire TV Edition to all-time low of $250 ($100 off)
A 43" 1080p Toshiba Fire TV Edition is $180 if you're looking to spend a little less
Amazon has some "Prime Exclusive" deals on two of its Fire TV Edition-branded televisions: one a 50" 4K unit from Insignia, and the other a 43" 1080p one from Toshiba. Both are discounted by $100, which means sales prices of 9.99 for the Insignia and 9.99 for the Toshiba.These TVs were both released in 2020. The Insignia is equipped with a 50" 4K display, HDR capability, DTS Studio Sound, and Fire TV functionality built in. Meanwhile, for $70 less, the Toshiba has a 43" 1080p display, DTS TruSurround, and Fire TV built-in. I'd argue that the Insignia is the much better deal here, but both the Insignia's $249.99 and the Toshiba's $179.99 represent all-time low prices.
50" Toshiba 4K Fire TV Edition is $300 ($30 off) on Amazon
I will never stop being amazed by how cheap TVs are these days
We've all been staying at home a bit more than usual lately, which means a lot more TV show and movie binging. It seems like a good time, then, to invest in a new television. Amazon is currently offering this 50" 4K Toshiba with Fire TV functionality built in for 9.99, $30 off the regular selling price and $80 off MSRP.This Toshiba carries the model number 50LF621U21, which really rolls off the tongue. It's a 50-inch unit with a 4K display, and because it's a Fire TV Edition, there's no need to buy an additional Fire TV unit. These are very easy to set up, and as you can tell from the hero image, it supports all the major streaming services: Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video (obviously), YouTube, Disney+, etc.
Amazon, through Insignia and Toshiba, is iterating on its entry-level 4K Fire TV Editions with new 43", 50", and 55" models for 2020. Some are available for purchase right now between the U.S. and Canada with stark differences in starting prices.All models run on the MediaTek T31 chipset with a multi-core GPU paired with 2GB of DDR3 RAM, seemingly enough for interfacing and streaming in 4K at 60fps. They come with an Alexa voice remote — its design refreshed for this year — and run off Fire OS 7 based off of Android 9 Pie.
If you're looking to upgrade your home entertainment setup this Black Friday but don't want to fight hundreds of other shoppers for a doorbuster, check out this sale on a 50" Toshiba TV. Typically selling for $300, it's now down to a price of $260, a $40 discount.
Since the Department of Commerce added Chinese manufacturer Huawei to its 'Entity List,' thus limiting its ability to import U.S.-made products, we've seen some of the company's most important supplier relationships take a hit. Alphabet may have been the vendor with the highest profile as many of Huawei's Android products rely on software services from Google. But chip producers, including one in Germany, have also had to limit their ties to the telecommunications company.
Are you on the lookout for a cheap telly? It seems like manufacturers made too many Fire TVs, because we're seeing them pretty remarkable deals from Toshiba and Insignia on 4K TVs.
TV prices have been steadily dropping in the past few years. A major reason for this is the emergence of web content, which doesn't require a TV to watch, though the Toshiba Fire TVs we're featuring here can handle all of your favorite streaming services. The 49" 1080p model is currently just 9.99 (0 off), with other sizes being discounted as well.These smart LED Toshibas are technically "Fire TV Editions," which is Amazon's term for smart TVs with Fire TV functionality built-in. That means that it can handle streaming of Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, HBO, and more, though it can obviously still act as a regular TV. If you watch a lot of content at home on your computer screen, it might be worth dropping a couple hundred on a bigger screen.Amazon is offering discounts on quite a few models. To us, the most appealing deal was the 49" 1080p model for 9.99, though the 50" 4K HDR version for 9.99 might be even better if you want to step the resolution up.

I look around at my hallway console nowadays and see a Canary camera, a Google Home, and a SmartThings Hub v2. Not to mention the Synology server, router, and a few other miscellaneous tech items. The idea of having all three integrated in the same device, saving space and unnecessary wiring is quite appealing, and that's what Toshiba's new Symbio aims to do.It's a 6-in-1 device: a 1080p wide-angle "low-light" camera with sound and motion alerts, a smart sound detector for babies and pets and even legacy alarms around the house, a Bluetooth and WiFi streaming speaker with ODMD driver, a voice control interface with Amazon Alexa built-in, a smart home hub with ZigBee and Z-Wave radios, and an intercom for communicating between Symbios and phones.
Getting your hands on a budget tablet for around a hundred bucks isn't particularly challenging, but these decidedly underwhelming gadgets typically don't come with the latest version of Android. Toshiba intends to do budget shoppers one better by providing them with a 7-inch tablet with Android 4.4, all for $110. This little guy goes by the name of Excite Go.
[April Fools] Toshiba Reveals DiGiT - Another Fake Wearable Glove, But One That Gets It Right
This one might be great if it was real.
For April 1st, Samsung and HTC have both unveiled teched-out gloves that poke fun at the current wearables trend everyone is pursuing, but no one has quite yet figured out. As it turns out, another manufacturer has had the same idea. Meet DiGiT, the high-tech glove from Toshiba.
With little fanfare, the first available devices running Nvidia's Tegra 4 ARM chip have popped up at Best Buy and Amazon. The Toshiba Excite Write and Pro tablets are 10.1-inch slates based on Tegra 4, whereas the Pure is another Tegra 3 device. All three new slates appear to be available for purchase right now.

Say hello to Toshiba's 2013 Android tablet lineup. Though the company still hasn't made a dent in the tablet market, it's not for lack of trying, and the latest trio of ten-inchers proves that they're not ready to give up the ghost. All three have roughly the same body and dimensions: the Excite Pure is Toshiba's new low-end offering, the Excite Pro is for gamers and resolution junkies, and the Excite Write steps up to Samsung with both high-end specifications and a digitizer-stylus combo.
Have you heard of TransferJet? We won't begrudge you if you haven't. It's a fairly obscure bit of technology that hasn't managed to work its way into many consumer products, despite first launching to the public back in 2008. So, consider this whole article a bit of indulgent dreaming when we tell you about Toshiba's newly-announced micro-USB adapter that can add TransferJet capabilities to Android phones. What does that mean? Well, it means 560Mbps transfers between devices with a tap. To put it another way: you could easily send 250MB worth of data from one handset to another in the time it takes to read this sentence (or about 70MB/sec).
Toshiba Intros New Tegra 3-Powered Excite SE 10" Tablet With Jelly Bean 4.1, We Wonder Why They Even Bother
Toshiba Intros New Tegra 3-Powered Excite SE 10" Tablet With Jelly Bean 4.1
When it comes to Android tablets, Toshiba hasn't really been the "brand to buy," so to speak. It's not that they put out bad hardware, because that's simply not the case - the Excite 7.7 is one of the best Android tablets I've ever used. It's that they don't promote - or more importantly, support - devices after release.
Toshiba Excite 7.7 Tag-Team Review: The Best Tablet You'll Never Buy
Just over a week ago, Aaron and I (Cameron) each received a review unit of the Excite 7.7. While I will largely be taking the reigns on this one, Aaron
Just over a week ago, Aaron and I (Cameron) each received a review unit of the Excite 7.7. While I will largely be taking the reigns on this one, Aaron wanted to throw in his thoughts as well. Thus, while the bulk of the review was written exclusively by me, you'll also see his (clearly labeled) thoughts at the bottom of every section.Cameron: I have to be honest: after using the Excite 10 and coming away feeling "meh" about it, I didn't have high hopes for its little brother. However, after spending the past week with the Excite 7.7, I have been blown away time and time again. I'll just say it now: this is probably the best tablet I've ever used (for now, at least). The form factor is fantastic, the display is beyond incredible, and it's super-snappy. That's not to say it's perfect, however.Aaron: I've been playing with the 7.7 for a week now. While I'm still not quite sure why, I can definitively say that it's my favorite tablet to date. I've been trying to figure out what exactly makes it so phenomenal, and while I can explain most of what makes it my favorite, there's just something about it that puts it over the top but can't be labeled or qualified. As Cameron said, though, I can say I love the size, display, and performance.With that, let's talk details.

If you answered yes to any of those questions, then Toshiba's monstrous new AT330 may be the tablet for you.
