Toshiba ships REGZA ZV650 and SV670 HDTVs

If you're not down with waiting for Toshiba's internet-connected range of HDTVs -- which, by the way, should be out before the dawn of 2010 -- here's a bit of excellent news: the REGZA ZV650 and SV670 series are now shipping. Both of the sets were initially announced way back at CES, and the latter of the two is Tosh's first-ever LED-backlit HDTV. Said set also packs local dimming, ClearScan 240 dejudder technology, PixelPure 5G 14-bit video processing and that questionably useful Resolution+ system. There's also a USB socket, four HDMI connectors, IR pass-through, a PC input and REGZA-LINK (HDMI-CEC). As for the other guys (yeah, there's more), head on past the break and take notes on the ones relevant to your interests.

[Mizzike @ Jun 10th 2009 2:29PM]

LOL i was getting my flame-pants on, until i read the rest of the sentence

[mugupo @ Jun 10th 2009 1:49PM]

Toshinba is the only LCD company i know still making their lcd in 8ms... i don't find their new edge design attractive.

[Nic @ Jun 10th 2009 2:09PM]

They are less than 8ms. If you read their webpage, they specify that their tvs are 8ms or faster. The reason they say this is because they use the lcd panels from other companies and in their agreement are not allowed to specify the exact speed.

whats a good hdtv i can buy that doubles as a computer monitor? i was thinking something like the Insignia 15.6" lcd...its only 150 canadian dollars right now on sale at best buy...
any thoughts?

[mugupo @ Jun 10th 2009 2:02PM]

Or you can spend $100 more to get the samsung 24" hdtv that can use as monitor.

[TRS @ Jun 10th 2009 2:05PM]

[mugupo @ Jun 10th 2009 2:08PM]

It was onsales for 250 few weeks ago, now the price is back at 300 mark.

[Ben Loeb @ Jun 10th 2009 2:06PM]

I could use a new tv that is big and expenisive

[mugupo @ Jun 10th 2009 2:11PM]

For that price range you could get Vizio 55" LED 240hz out this sep or Panasonic 50" v10 (96hz 24p playback) rank #2 best hdtv behind elite kudo

[anexanhume @ Jun 10th 2009 2:17PM]

What if you don't want plasma power consumption?

[mugupo @ Jun 10th 2009 2:25PM]

lol newer plasma use maybe 50-100 watts more than other lcd, toshiba lcd use a lot more power than you think, they use as much as plasma in some of their model. If you really concern about power comsuption get led tv.
