Toshiba Continues Their Upconverting Crusade With New Regza XV545, RV535 LCDs
8:47AM John Mahoney | At Toshiba’s CEDIA press conference today, they’re continuing to pull out all the stops with their “no need for Blu-ray, we upconvert everything” strategy, rolling out a boatload of new LCDs with their new SRT upconverting processor, which auto-detects SD sources and upconverts to 1080p inside the set. The top-of-the-line Regza Cinema Series XV545 LCDs (above) will bring the upconverting goodness at 42″, 46″ and 52″, priced US$1800-US$2800 and hitting in September.

Toshiba’s Regza ZF HDTVs Do Their Own Cell-Processor Upscaling
9:46PM Kit Eaton | Toshiba’s new Regza ZF HDTVs don’t upscale your DVDs to HD resolution with any old chipset or engine: they do it with a Cell-processor based system. Bonkers! It’s the first TV to upscale with a Cell, and according to its European executive vice president, Toshiba’s future “does not involve Blu-ray disc” but will use this sort of tech to deliver high-res imagery. The upscaling system uses the Cell for some advanced image-processing techniques, creating interpolated pixels to give the final image “near-HD” quality. The sets will also have Active Vision M100 100Hz HD picture processing, 178-degree viewing angle, 30,000:1 contrast ratio and 10-bit processing. The ZF TVs will be in 40- and 46-inch sizes, the 40-inch out now with pricing of around US$2,390, the 46-pricing and availability is not announced yet.
