Toshiba is back and ready to make good on some of the higher end HDTVs promised
at CES, after showing off the energy efficient
C8000 REGZA LCDs, it's time for the 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio local dimming LED backlit ZX8000 (labeled
SV670 in the U.S.) series. These also pack the latest edition of
Super Resolution+ upconverting, ClearScan 240Hz motion and fifth generation Pixel Pure image processing. We've heard those picture quality claims and seen the (
sometimes controversial) results before, but a few features anyone can appreciate are InstaPort HDMI for lagless switching between inputs and AutoView calibration for room lighting conditions. Add-on hard disk drives are also available, and the ZX8000 models are expected in late June / early July for 46- and 55-inch models topping out around 600,000 ($5,944.) Willing to live without LED backlighting, 240Hz or other bullet points? The ZH8000, Z8000 and H8000
models are ready and waiting for appropriately lower prices.

FIRST!
sorry guys until the end of the internet (ie our lifes) this shit is going to happen.
man..... $6k for 55 inches. It takes a baller.
And I thought LED backlighting was supposed to be getting more affordable and widespread.
the samsung b7000 is cheaper like around $2.7K
meh, i was thinking of waiting for these but ill probably go pick up a luxia from samsung
Those are some ugly looking sets. Toshiba really needs to make the logo less prominent. Toshiba sets have also had a lot of picture quality problems over the past few years.
The only reason to buy a Toshiba is that they are usually a lot less money than the competition. $899 for a 40" 1080P set from a real brand is almost too hard to pass up.
Unless the picture quality is a whole lot better than Sony and Samsung there will be no reason to pay more for a Toshiba set.
6k? I'd rather get a Panasonic Z with wireless inputs and a 1" depth
The samsung LED lit tv's are much cheaper.
