Today at IFA Expo in Berlin Toshiba has launched a world’s first with a true upscaling LCD, so no more upconverting from SD sources. The new ZF Series of LCDs include Cell processors and Toshiba’s home grown Resolution+ technology, which does similar edge and detail enhancement to Toshiba’s XDE upscaler. This apparently gives you sharper detail, smoothing edges, while leaving the rest of the image alone.
Toshiba will be shipping the 40ZF575D (40-inch) and the 46ZF575D (46-inch), both offering 1080p, 30,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 6ms response times and Active Vision M100 HD 100Hz 5:5 pulldown processing, along with four HDMI plugs, component video, RGB and PC input. Right now this is just a Europe launch.
