Standard streams of video on the internet are shoddy at best and when blown up to 40-inches and above pixels that look small on your computer screen will be football sized on your telly.

Toshiba knows this and that is why it has put an internet TV enhancer into its Cell TV. Using Net Super Resolution, Toshiba up-converts low-resolution web content for big-screen display, courtesy of its proprietary compression noise-canceling tech.

Essentially giving your web content a decent clean-up so that it looks presentable when displayed on screen, a feature which is more than welcomed considering Cell TV will allow you to access myriad internet TV channels.

2D to 3D real-time conversion

Having a 3D TV is all very well but the distinct lack of 3D content for the home means that early adopters will be left wanting in 2010.

To satiate your three-dimensional needs, Toshiba has introduced a 2D to 3D real-time converter into Cell TV, which makes use of the TV's powerful Cell chip.

Toshiba is calling the technology Tri-Vector, and it uses proprietary software to analyse the 2D frames and figure out the depth of field in each frame.

Once this is done, the TV creates a separate image for the left eye and right. This then gives off a 3D effect, which you can view through active shutter glasses.

In the demo we say, the technology really does work, and it can also be attributed to photographs – so that old image you have of Pamela Anderson looking lovely in her hey-day can now be brought to life!


Have a quick read at that link if you're into your TVs or just curious about the future, some interesting stuff including 4K resolution quality :)

4k will be quite good, not bothered about the internet stuff until the UK's broadband network improves.

I think 3D will take off but it will be a slow process, 5-10 years.

+1, and it'll be a long time before I buy a new TV anyway with any luck :)
