A new range of HD Ready Picture Frame LCD’s that will have two HDMI inputs and an integrated Digital Tuner for access to over thirty Freeview channels.
The WLT66 range, made up of four large screen models – the 32WLT66, 37WLT66, 42WLT66 and 47WLT66 includes Toshiba’s Active Vision LCD picture processing technology which promises to enhance four key areas: detail, colour, contrast and movement.

Also launching in April are two large screen analogue Picture Frame LCD TVs. The 32WL66 and 37WL66 are both HD Ready and include 2 x HDMI inputs plus a 1366 x 768 screen resolution.
Digital TV for the Average Joe
Gizmodo has an article up about a transitional product from RCA for those that don’t have the money to go High Definition.
…now there’s another way to be be ready for the digital TV revolution (or evolution if you really think about it). RCA has announced a 27-inch Standard Definition TV (RCA 27F634T), the set with built-in over-the-air tuners/decoders of digital and analog TV broadcasts. It’s basically your transitional product since analog TV will supposedly be shift off in the next 5 years. For just $359, it’s affordable and let’s face it, if you need a new TV and just can’t afford the fancy shit, it’s a damn good product.
Sharp Aquos LC-45GX6U Reviewed
PC Magazine has a review up of the Aquos LC-45GX6U. It is a 45 inch LCD TV and earned 4 out of a possible 5 stars at PC Magazine.
Engadget’s look at the review:
It may not be perfect, but Sharp’s “world’s largest LCD” 45-inch Aquos LC-45GX6U was good enough for PC Magazine to give it four stars and an Editor’s Choice ranking. The reviewer found that the display had “impressive resolution in a user-friendly design” and crowned it “the best-performing big-screen LCD HDTV you can purchase today.” The LC-45GX6U is a 1080p set, with inputs for DVI, HDMI and Firewire, HD tuner, a PC Card slot, an 800:1 contrast ratio and a street price of about $4,000—totally doable.
Toshiba Launches New HDTVs
Gizmodo is all happy as another High Definition television has been announced as coming soon to the marketplace.
I think they are more excited that there are many coming, rather than being excited about this particular model, but here are some of the details from Gizmodo on the TV’s:
Hot diggity, it is a HDTV release fiesta today! Boy, we’re excited! First Dell, now Toshiba has announced three new HDTV’s. These TV’s come with a built-in digital TV tuner, each one has two HDMI slots and they all look generally sexy overall. The sizes available will be 32”, 37”, and 42”. Prices will begin around $2,500 for the 32” and go upwards of $4,800 for the 42”. Nice TV’s, not so nice prices.
