Toshiba’s new Regza ZF HDTVs don’t need no stinkin’ player to upscale your DVDs to HD resolution: they do it themselves, with a cell-processor based system. It’s the first TV to do so, and according to its European executive vice president, Toshiba’s future “does not involve Blu-ray disc” but will use this sort of tech to deliver high-res imagery. The upscaling system uses some pretty advanced image-processing techniques, creating interpolated pixels to give the final image near-HD quality. The sets will also have Active Vision M100 100Hz HD picture processing, 178-degree viewing angle, 30,000:1 contrast ratio and 10-bit processing. The ZF TVs will be in 40- and 46-inch sizes, the 40-inch out now with pricing of around $2,390, the 46-pricing and availability is not announced yet.
