Toshiba Z670 Series 100Z670R 100"

Toshiba's 100Z670R brings a massive 100-inch Mini-LED screen with stunning HDR and 144Hz gaming for an almost unbelievable $2,500. It's a steal for anyone craving a theater-sized experience at home. Just expect average built-in sound and a Fire TV interface that can feel a bit like a billboard. If you can handle the size, it's one of the best big-screen values we've seen in 2026.

The HDR performance here is the star of the show, landing in the top 1% of all TVs we've tracked. That Mini-LED backlight with full array local dimming does serious work, producing inky blacks and retina-searing highlights in Dolby Vision content. Watching 'Blade Runner 2049' on this screen feels almost immersive enough to get lost in. Colors are vivid but natural thanks to QLED tech, and the REGZA ZRi processor does an admirable job upscaling 1080p content to the 4K panel. It's not the absolute brightest SDR TV we've tested, but for HDR, it's a stunner.

Gaming is where the Z670 gets really interesting. The native 144Hz refresh rate combined with VRR and AMD FreeSync Premium means tear-free, ultra-smooth motion that rivals dedicated gaming monitors. Our tests showed responsive gameplay with minimal input lag, and the 83rd percentile gaming score reflects a TV that's genuinely competitive. Motion clarity for sports is also excellent, with fast-moving hockey pucks and soccer balls staying crisp. The trade-off? The viewing angles are just average, and the screen coating doesn't do much to fight glare in bright rooms. If your setup has a lot of uncontrolled light, you'll notice reflections more than you'd like.

The most direct rival in spirit is the TCL QM8K, another Mini-LED powerhouse that's available in a 75-inch size for a similar price. TCL's processing and smart platform (Google TV) are generally a bit more polished, and brightness is marginally higher. But you're giving up 25 inches of diagonal real estate, and for many, that's the whole point. The Hisense U7 series is even more affordable but caps out at 65 inches and doesn't match the HDR refinement, trailing noticeably in our dark room tests.

If pure picture quality is your obsession, the LG C5 OLED is a different animal entirely. At 55 inches, it's less than a third the screen area, but it delivers perfect blacks and infinite contrast that no Mini-LED can match. Sony's BRAVIA 5 offers a middle ground with excellent color accuracy and motion handling, but again, you're looking at a much smaller screen for more money. The Z670's superpower is its size, and among giant TVs under $3,000, it currently has very little competition.

At $2,500, this TV feels like a pricing error. For context, Samsung's 98-inch QN90D will set you back nearly double that, and even TCL's 98-inch models usually hover around $3,000 or more. Toshiba is clearly betting that sheer square footage wins buyers, and for a whole lot of people, that bet pays off. You're getting a Mini-LED panel, 144Hz gaming, and Dolby Vision IQ for less than the cost of a high-end 77-inch OLED. That's a statement.

The value proposition gets even stronger when you consider what you don't need to buy. The built-in Fire TV means no external streamer unless you really hate the interface, and Alexa voice control is genuinely useful for flipping through apps. You'll probably want a soundbar eventually, because the included speakers, while Dolby Atmos compatible, don't fill a room this size with the authority the picture demands. But even with a budget $300 soundbar, you're still thousands below the closest competitors.

Imagine pulling the trigger on a 100-inch TV and still having enough left over for a decent soundbar and a few games. That's the promise of Toshiba's Z670, a massive Mini-LED set that somehow lands at $2,500. It's got all the buzzwords you'd expect from a flagship in 2025: QLED color, a 144Hz panel, Dolby Vision IQ, and a custom REGZA processor tuned by engineers in Japan. But the headline is the size, and the fact that you can actually buy one without remortgaging your house. This thing is squarely aimed at gamers who want a living room battlestation and movie lovers who've always dreamed of a theater wall without the theater budget.

Toshiba isn't the first name that comes to mind when you think premium TV, and the Z670 knows that. It's not trying to out-spec a Sony A95L or an LG G4. Instead, it's offering an enormous canvas with Mini-LED backlight control that punches well above its price point. The built-in Fire TV and Alexa integration make setup familiar for anyone already in the Amazon ecosystem, and the gaming chops are genuinely impressive on paper. If you've been eyeing those ultra-expensive 98-inch panels from Samsung or Sony and wondering if there's a way to get 90% of the experience for half the money, keep reading.

But a 100-inch screen isn't just a bigger TV, it's a lifestyle commitment. This thing weighs over 136 pounds, and you'll need a sturdy mount and a couple of friends to get it on the wall. The Fire TV interface, while convenient, can feel like a crowded shopping mall of content suggestions. And while the specs scream 'high-end,' some corners had to be cut to hit this price. We spent some time digging into what this TV actually delivers versus what the spec sheet promises.

If you're a stickler for absolute black levels and infinite contrast, this Mini-LED isn't an OLED, and blooming is still slightly visible in tricky scenes with tiny bright objects against dark backgrounds. You'd be happier with an LG C5 or even a smaller Sony A80L, sacrificing size for pixel-perfect precision. Similarly, if you want a TV that blends into your room when off and looks like a piece of art, the Z670's chunky depth and utilitarian stand won't win any design awards.

Also, if you despise smart TV interfaces that feel like they're selling you something every time you turn on, Fire TV might drive you nuts. There's no escaping the ad-heavy rows unless you replace the launcher entirely, and most people won't go that far. For a cleaner, more refined experience, a TV with Google TV or Roku would be less intrusive.

For the gamer who wants to sit eight feet from a wall of light, the Z670 is a no-brainer. Few TVs can push 144Hz at 4K with VRR on a screen this enormous, and the input lag is low enough to keep you competitive. Racing games and open-world RPGs feel transformative when they're life-sized. Paired with a PC or a next-gen console, this is a killer display for multiplayer nights or solo escapism.

If you're a movie purist who watches in a dim room, you'll adore the HDR and the Mini-LED blooming control. Fire up a 4K Blu-ray of 'Dune' and you'll forgive the clunky smart interface. But if you live in a bright apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows, this TV might frustrate you with its reflections. And if you demand the absolute best image accuracy and can't stand any motion smoothing artifacts, a smaller OLED will serve you better. This is a TV for people who prioritize size and immersion above all else.
