Toshiba have been releasing press releases about their new REgza SV Series LCD televisions with LED backlighting and from the pictures cheap television has seen it does look a very nice TV set (don’t expect many cheap deals on this telly just yet). I’ve been trying to find reviews on the Toshiba Regza SV LCD Television but have not had much luck unfortunately so all these details are taken directly from Toshiba (cheap television recommends that you take this with a pinch of salt).
Toshiba Release Regza SV Series LCD TV
The Toshiba press lease describes the Regza SV Series LCD Televisions as “The SV series is Toshiba’s first ever UK model to include an LED backlight, providing an increased colour gamut to deliver striking, vivid images.
By utilising local dimming functionality, each panel will be able to provide brighter whites and deeper, purer blacks by intensifying or dimming backlights in corresponding areas – enhancing the viewing experience with stunning quality images with highly accurate colour reproduction.
The inclusion of an LED backlight also offers dynamic contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1, with 10 Bit processing creating a palette of over a billion colours to completely eliminate banding. Available in 46” and 55” sizes, the new REGZA SV range features a premier version of Toshiba’s new ‘Deep Lagoon’ design theme, which sees the exterior screen sitting flush with the front of the TV frame.
The effect is produced by a Full Crystal Panel that sits over the front of the TV, creating a unique design effect while also improving contrast and colour ratios. The frame itself is a stunning gloss black with colour gradation fading to white on the outer extremities to create a tapered effect.”
I still have my doubts as to the quality of the black levels on a LCD television of this size compared to a plasma television, you can also be sure that it will not be a cheap television and if I was looking at buying one of these Toshiba televisions with my money I would personally wait until some good reviews hit the internet or industry magazines.
