How quickly they forget: Toshiba releases nine new TVs
Toshiba have been quick to move on from the death of HD-DVD, releasing a raft of new flatscreen panels over the past few days.
They have three new series coming out, the CV, XV and ZF series.
The CV series contains LCD panels at 32, 27 and 42" screen sizes, all with 768p resolution, 3 HDMI inputs, and off button, so you can switch the TV off completely without slipping a disk.
The XV series are also 32, 37 and 42" LCD screens, but this time with Full HD, 1080p resolutions. There probably isn’t that much point in a 32" Full HD panel, unless you like to sit very close to Corrie. Otherwise these are pretty similar to the CV series, so it will be interesting to see what the mark-up is when both come out in March.
Finally, coming in April are is the ZF range of 40", 46" and 52" LCD sets. These promise various bits of picture processing technology under the hood, and the ability to vary the the amount of light produced by the LCD backlight, so you can get those deep blacks during a late-night film, but still be able to watch the sport on a sunny afternoon. We’ll keep an eye on the price of that 52" LCD vs similar plasma offerings.
