A glasses-free 3D TV from Toshiba

MANILA, Philippines - With new brand ambassador Solenn Heussaff, Toshiba recently launched a large-screen glasses-free 3D TV, a new Power TV series, and new notebook PCs.

“Leading Innovation” is what the event at Blue Leaf in McKinley Hill was called. At the event several booths were set up where I got a chance to play with some of the latest Toshiba creations.

I enjoyed the giant TV. How could I not? It is a state-of-the-art Toshiba 55-inch REGZA RZ1 TV, the very first large-screen glasses-free 3D TV to be launched in the Philippines. Equipped with a Quad Full HD screen, the REGZA RZ1 provides viewers with a totally immersive 3D TV experience and can also deliver 2D content with four times Full HD resolution.

It is really interesting how true to life TV-watching has become. I had to stop myself from reaching out and touching the images that seemed to pop out my way. This glasses-free 3D Toshiba TV set gave me a reason to consider getting a TV for myself. Truth be told, I have never owned a TV in my whole life. Maybe the time has come to consider a TV, and the Toshiba REGZ RZ1 will definitely be tops on my list.

Toshiba also introduced the latest advances in its innovative Power TV series, a line-up of LED TVs that make full use of Toshiba’s new REGZA Engine to provide outstanding picture and sound quality. In particular, the 23-, 32-, and 40-inch models in the new PB200 series deliver maximum performance with minimum power consumption while featuring slim, attractive designs.

PCs were next up.

Since I love carrying all my things in one bag, no matter how bulky my bag may seem to others, I am always in search of the new and thinner gadgets that will lessen the weight on my already bulky shoulders.

This is why I took some time looking at and getting a good feel of Toshiba’s new-generation Z series Ultrabook, the Portégé Z930.

This sleek gadget weighs a measly 1.12kg. I was informed that Portégé Z930 is not only the world’s lightest1 13.3-inch Ultrabook ever; it also combines the ease-of-use and performance of a laptop with the wake-up responsiveness of a tablet. Only 15.9mm high, this new Ultrabook features a slim design with a durable magnesium alloy chassis; a battery life of up to eight hours; and all the power and fast, easy connectivity of a comprehensive selection of full-sized ports.

Other notebook PCs unveiled by Toshiba included the new Satellite L, Satellite C, Satellite M and Satellite P series. Powered by the latest generation of processors and with state-of-the-art, high-speed data interfaces, all laptops in the Satellite series excel in fulfilling the most demanding business needs. The new series offer both 14.0- and 15.6-inch displays.

 “We at Toshiba are constantly innovating and exploring new technologies that allow us to provide consumers with stylish and functional products,” says Tomoyasu Yamamoto, CEO & president of Toshiba (Philippines), Inc. “In addition, by enhancing awareness of our brand, we hope more consumers will make Toshiba their choice.”
