When Toshiba showed off their high-end Cinema Series HDTVs, there was a bit of sadness which immediately followed the announcement that the sets wouldn’t be available in the United States right off the bat. But, then a glimmer of hope, as they clarified that they would be coming, just at a later time. And finally, that time has arrived. And with it, Toshiba is bringing quite the party.
The Cinema Series HDTVs being brought over are the 46- and 55-inch models, in the model series of WX800. Both HDTVs are LED-backlit, and will be able to rock your 3D socks off with their integrated 3D Resolution+ technology. You have integrated 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, access to Toshiba’s Enhanced NET TV features, a 240Hz processor, and Yahoo! Connected widgets. The set will be able to provide you with full 1080p resolution, too. The 55-inch HDTV will run you a cool $3,299.99 and it’s available right now; while the 46-inch model is $2,599.99 and is also yours to own right now.
Along for the ride is the Toshiba BDX3000 Blu-ray player, which is still yet to release. It’s said it will be made available by the end of September, and will retail for around $249.99. While the “not-so-high-end” VX700-series HDTVs, with their lack of 3D technology, are available right now, too. They have all of the same features as the Cinema Series HDTVs, without support for 3D. You’ll find two USB ports, DLNA support, SD / SDHC card slot, and all of the Internet connected goodness. The 55-inch model in the VX700 series will cost you $2,799.99; the 46-inch model $2,299.99.
