If you’re looking for a new HDTV, Toshiba should be able to oblige. The company rolled out announcements on 14 new models today.

In that crop, Toshiba says its first LED TV for 2010 is the UX600. The LED hook allows the UX600 to deliver beautiful images in an energy-efficient, super-slim package. A few of the highlights include a 3,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, ClearFrame 120Hz technology, gaming and photo features, and Toshiba’s own CrystalCoat for enhanced contrast.

AutoView is also available to measure and adjust automatically for ambient room light, while the DynaLight feature optimizes the backlight based on the incoming content.

As an added bonus, the UX600 will also provide access to NET TV, which is Toshiba’s form of on-demand, on-screen digital content. Toshiba’s partners include Facebook, Twitter, Pandora, VUDU, YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, The New York Times, and others. That content should be very easy to access, since the UX600 comes with its own Wi-Fi adapter in the box.

All three UX600 sizes (40, 46 and 55 inches) will be available this month. Amazon is currently taking preorders, for those who want to be the first on their blocks to own one. Here are links and pricing information:


If you’re looking for a regular LCD TV, Toshiba announced four new models, each with different enhancements for 2010. Each one includes a PC input, photo features, and Toshiba’s new Horizon design, which boasts a tapered bezel for a more modern appearance.

Sports enthusiasts will love to yell at their favorite team on the G300. For that fast action, ClearFrame 120Hz technology eliminates almost all motion blur, while boosting image brightness. It’s available in three sizes, which are all available for preorder.

The E200 series is all about great looks at a super-low price. Aside from a 1080p image, all three models in this series feature four HDMI inputs with InstaPort and REGZA-LINK (HDMI-CEC), as well as a high-resolution PC input.

On the smaller side, the C100 series allows you to squeeze a high-def (720p) image into compact spaces, such as a kitchen, bedroom, garage, basement — or all the above. Many of those spaces will appreciate the sprucing up of the Horizon design, as well as easy-to-use photo features. All four screen sizes are available for preorder.


Last, but certainly not least, is the CV100 series, which allows you to pack even more into those compact spaces — since each one features its own built-in DVD player. All other features, including the 720p image, are the same as the C100 series.
