With more people spending time at home this year, many are looking to upgrade their home entertainment system. Although our neighbours south of the border will be able to take advantage of tech deals through Amazon Prime Day (the shopping event runs through June 21 and 22), Canadian shoppers will still have to wait while it's currently postponed in Canada.
While we wait for more details on the return of Amazon Prime Day in Canada, Amazon's latest deal offers shoppers the chance to save $170 on a 43-inch Smart TV that’s sure to provide endless hours of quality streaming.

“The picture quality — clarity, colour and brightness are excellent. The TV arrived within four days of purchase (very prompt given these challenging COVID-19 times), securely packed and undamaged,” one shopper wrote. “It was very easy to set up. We use it only for TV and DVD viewing, so we cannot comment on the Smart and gaming features - but with an added Bose sound-bar, it makes viewing like being in a movie theatre. We are extremely pleased with this purchase.”
“Bought this TV for my daughters and they love it,” another said. “Great picture and they have hooked up the two gaming systems. Everything works good.”
Some Amazon shoppers have noted that for the price, the sound quality might not be the same as more expensive units.
"We find that the internal sound system could use improvement," an Amazon shopper said. "The TV in general is an excellent buy for the money."
Verdict
If you’re looking for an affordable smart TV that can nurture your Netflix or gaming habit — the Toshiba Smart TV might be for you. Amazon’s latest sale is a rare deal from a trusted brand like Toshiba that won’t break the bank, but won’t last long.
