- Toshiba launches Z670R mini-LED TV with Fire TV
- 4K 144Hz and variable refresh rate support for games
- Available in 55, 65, 75 and 100-inch options, from $1,299 to $3,999
Toshiba has launched a new premium-but-not-too-premium mini LED TV, called the Z670R. It is available in five sizes: 55, 65, 75, 85 and 100 inches. But while the specification is decent, the pricing makes it more expensive than competitors from e.g. Hisense and TCL by some margin: The 100-incher is $3,999, compared to around $2,200-$2,500 for rivals we’ve reviewed very heavily.
That means it could be a tough sell, because while Toshiba describes this new TV as delivering “a premium viewing and gaming experience,” that’s not really what the brand is known for these days. It’s mostly a budget brand that makes perfectly decent budget TVs – and this Fire TV goes head to head with some very good and even more affordable Google-powered options.

Toshiba Z670R: key features and rivals
The Z670R is a mini-LED with full array local dimming, a QLED panel and HDR with Dolby Vision IQ, HDR10+, HDR10+ Adaptable and HLG. It features Toshiba’s REGZA Engine ZRi Gen3 image engine for image and contrast optimization, native 144Hz refresh for gaming, HDMI 2.1 with eARC and AMD FreeSync Premium with VRR and ALLM. There is a built-in low-end woofer for bass frequencies and the operating system is Fire TV.

The Toshiba Z670R is available now from Amazon US, but there are also some very good TCL and Hisense options that I think you might want to consider first.
The two TVs below are both very impressive – we’ve reviewed them both – and crucially, they’re much more affordable, especially in the very largest sizes. (No doubt Toshiba will get discounts too, but it will still have to work hard to beat these for value…)
