The Toshiba 40-inch V35 Series is a 1080p Full HD smart TV with Amazon Fire TV built in. The DLED-backlit panel runs through Toshiba’s REGZA Engine High Grade for picture processing, and dual clear direct speakers on the bottom run REGZA Power Audio, Dolby Audio, and DTS Virtual:X for sound. Every major streaming app comes preloaded on the Fire TV interface, and the included Voice Remote has Alexa built in for voice search across apps. A 40-inch class TV is smaller than the average living room screen and larger than the standard bedroom size, filling a middle ground for guest rooms, kitchens, dorms, and smaller spaces.
A large and in charge TV perfect for any area of your home
Sound is where Toshiba invests on the V35. Dual clear direct speakers on the bottom of the cabinet run three separate audio processes at the same time. REGZA Power Audio delivers room-filling clarity. Dolby Audio decodes streaming content encoded in Dolby formats. DTS Virtual:X simulates surround sound from just two speakers. Cheaper 40-inch TVs typically ship with one basic audio format and thin factory speakers, so hearing three simultaneous audio processes on a $150 TV in your bedroom is unusual.
Picture processing on the V35 uses Toshiba’s REGZA Engine High Grade, an in-house chip that runs upscaling, motion smoothing, and color processing on incoming video signals. Content shot at 720p or lower gets upscaled to fill the 1080p Full HD panel. Ultimate Motion processing reduces motion blur during sports, action movies, and your gaming sessions. DLED backlighting also delivers more uniform brightness than the edge-lit LED that older budget TVs used.
Fire TV is the operating system on the V35, and it’s the same Fire TV software that runs on Amazon’s Fire TV Stick and Fire TV Cube streaming devices. Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, Max, YouTube, Peacock, Apple TV+, and Sling TV come preinstalled. The Voice Remote also includes Alexa for hands-free search across all installed apps at once, so pressing the microphone button and saying “play The Bear” starts the show in Hulu without navigating through an on-screen keyboard.
The back of the TV has multiple HDMI ports, a USB port, Ethernet, Wi-Fi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0. An HDMI ARC port connects a soundbar for two-way audio and remote control through one cable. Game Mode kicks in automatically when your PS5, Xbox Series X, or Nintendo Switch is plugged in, reducing input lag and enabling Ultimate Motion for faster response. Bluetooth also pairs wireless headphones directly to the TV for late-night viewing without a soundbar.
Toshiba priced the V35 as its entry point into the Fire TV market, keeping the retail below $150 to compete with the cheaper streaming-first TVs that have taken over the small-screen category. At $110, down from $150, the discount drops the price closer to the standalone cost of a Fire TV Stick and a basic non-smart 40-inch TV combined.
