Toshiba’s 2007 HDTV Line-Up
The entry level C series is made up of 26, 32, 37, and 42in 720p TVs
with resolutions of 1280 x 720 and sporting HDMI inputs. Next up is the X
series of 1080p TVs, coming in sizes ranging from 37in to 57in. All of these
TVs sport a generous three HDMI inputs, like the new Sony Bravia TVs, but the
real selling point is the thin frame.
The X series TVs boast really thin frames [pictured] a
round the display
panel itself – just 15mm wide – which makes the screen seem even bigger when
you are watching TV and movies. It also makes the TVs look that much more
attractive. There are 40in and 46in models cost roughly £1,500 and £1,800.
Sitting at the top of the heap, is the Z series. Like the X series, the
Z series TVs are 1080p and have three HDMI inputs. Unlike the X series they use
a more advanced version of Toshiba’s Active Vision image processing technology
called M100. This doubles the image frame refresh rate to reduce screen
flicker.
The Z series comes in 37, 42, 47, 52, and 57in models with prices for
the 57in flagship coming in at £3,500. All Regza TVs have Freeview tuners and
the X and Z series are finished in glossy, piano-black. The TVs will be introduced throughout the
year.
I have several Toshiba products including TV's and a laptop computer and have always find there products well prices and to be good quality.
Toshiba W42WL58P is perfect for a HD ready TV and has a clear picture with quality sound and all the inputs you will need plus a easy to use remote control with cool looks
Unfortunately after 16 months of service my Toshiba went bang but I would still recommend the product and will get myself a new Toshiba HD TV in a few years time.
Warning about MediaMarkt & E-Care scam.
E-Care ref 538008
I Purchased the 42 inch Toshiba TV from MediaMarkt in Belgium and it went wrong so under the guarantee I asked for the TV to repaired and contacted E-Care in Antwerp who then picked the TV up some two weeks later.
After several more weeks I contacted E-Care who said they could not get the parts to repair the TV and would send a credit note to MediaMarkt so that I could go and get myself a new TV and since the credit note was ‘In the post’ and I had been without a TV for two months I paid a deposit for a new TV.
Day after day I contacted MediaMarkt to ask if the credit note had arrived so that I could pick my new TV up only to be told the credit note had not arrived and that they were chasing it up.
Today some ten weeks later I am still without a TV and have been told that the parts to fix the TV have arrived and I will be getting my old TV returned some time later this week.
Clearly E-Care and MediaMarkt have been telling Lies and using me as pig in the middle and have failed to provide a reasonable service in taking far too long to fix and return my TV and using deceit as a delaying tactic.
Does anyone know the legal position on this ?
I would avoid both companies unless you like being scammed like me.
