Toshiba release 4 new LCD TVs – the REGZA AV500 series

Toshiba is enhancing Australia’s television viewing experience with the introduction of the REGZA AV500 series, which includes four new LCD TVs. Providing high-end digital performance, these competitively priced models are a must-have addition to any digital living room.

The stylish AV500 range features true-to-life picture quality thanks to Toshiba’s “Meta Brain Pro” technology which produces more realistic, smoother and clearer pictures. The high-quality AV500 series gives High Definition¹ (HD) with an integrated tuner, which is ideal for watching Australia’s latest digitally broadcast channels.

Expanding on Toshiba’s REGZA television range, these new LCD televisions incorporate a host of innovative technologies that make images appear more natural and life-like. These include DynaLight, Toshiba’s dynamic backlighting function, which improves the black levels in dark scenes, and Cinespeed which, with increased LCD response times, decreases blurriness and delivers cleaner, high-action home theatre pictures.

The AV500 series consists of a 26″, 32″, 37″ and 42″ screen option, with a range of inputs including two HDMI, two composite connections, component video, S-video, as well as a PC input for consumers to use the TV as a monitor.

Availability

The Toshiba REGZA LCD range is available from Harvey Norman, Clive Peeters, Myer, Bing Lee and speciality Hi-Fi stores.
