Toshiba Cell Regza

 

Thinking of buying a high end TV right now? Hold your horses!  Today Toshiba has announced the most advanced TV to date at the CEATEC show in Japan.

 

Cell Processor/DVR

Using the Cell Processor found in the PlayStation 3 this TV is capable of performing tasks that where unthinkable for a TV before like recording 8 simultaneous digital TV shows and also displaying them at the same time.

 

Better image correction and self-congruency adjustment are also provided by the power of the Cell processor. The chip is housed as a separate component from the screen, providing space to 3TB of storage, Internet connection and even web browsing through Opera without adding bulk to the display.

 

Display

The display is even more impressive: 55 inches, LED backlight with 512 local dimming zones providing a whopping 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio… yes there are 6 zeroes following that 5 . Also it boasts 1,250cd/m2 Brigthness and refreshes all the way up to 240Hz.

Picture quality is also affected by ambient lighting conditions. CELL REGZA delivers real-time color temperature analysis that can identify daylight, evening sunlight, interior lighting and darkness. Optimum picture quality is achieved by automatic fine tuning of multiple control settings: 1024 steps in color temperature, a 128 scale dynamic gamma range, 100 brightness settings, 32 settings each for color saturation, color sharpness, and adjustment of super resolution, plus control of the LED backlighting.

So far it has only been announced that it will ship to Japan this December, and estimates right now are averaging in about $11,000.00 for the 55X1 model. The US version is yet to be confirmed, but the high price could be a delaying factor.

 

So if you are saving for that impressive high end TV, well… keep saving  ‘cause this will make any other TV set look like a toy.
