The Toshiba V45 is a 40-inch 1080p smart TV with a QLED panel and Amazon's Fire TV built in. QLED is unusual at this size and resolution, where most rivals use plain LED, and it gives the set wider color and better brightness than budget 1080p models. Fire TV brings Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube and Disney+ with Alexa voice control, and it works with Siri through AirPlay-style casting on Apple devices. It suits bedrooms, kitchens and small living rooms where a 4K set would be wasted, but it is a 60 Hz panel with no 4K or HDR, so movie buffs and gamers should look at a 4K set instead.

Owners rate it well for the size and picture, calling the QLED color a step up from older budget TVs. Complaints center on the modest built-in sound and the limited 1080p resolution.
