By Greg Tarr -- TWICE, 3/23/2010
Wayne, N.J. - Toshiba said Monday that it is shipping the first models in its 2010 LCD TV line, including the UX600 series of IPTV-ready LED backlit TVs.
 Toshiba is now shipping new 2010 LCD TVs, including the UX600 series. |
Also provided through the NET TV system will be news services, such as The New York Times, Associated Press, national weather and a stock ticker available at the bottom of the screen.
To simplify the setup process, the UX600 TVs will have a USB Wi-Fi adapter dongle to connect to the Internet via a wireless network.
The series will include the 40-inch ($1,399 suggested retail), 46-inch ($1,699) and 55-inch ($2,499) screen sizes, and each offers 1080p HD resolution and 120Hz frame-rate technology. All feature a 3,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and Toshiba's CrystalCoat high-contrast screen coating to keep contrast high in bright rooms.
An AutoView function analyzes ambient room light to optimize picture quality in a variety of ambient room-lighting conditions.
DynaLight automatically adjusts the backlight intensity based on the incoming video signal, and a Pixel Pure 5G engine offers advanced image processing for both high- and standard-definition signal sources.
The sound is enhanced through the use of Dolby Volume, which maintains a consistent volume level when switching between programs and commercials, changing channels and even when sound levels change abruptly within a program.
"This is a high-quality LED TV that is both simple and fun," said Scott Ramirez, TV marketing VP. "We have packed amazingly deep LED picture quality, robust Internet capability and a long list of key Toshiba features into our new slim Air Lagoon design, and included a Wi-Fi adapter to make it a total pleasure from Day One. This is a package people will be excited to own."
Other LCD TV series shipping to dealers are the C100, E200, and G300.
