Toshiba's already spilled the beans on its 4K TV line-up for this year, and right on cue, it's just revealed the new range of 2014 LED sets that might interest us folk still clinging on to the regular
HD era. The entry-level 3 series gains a number of new recruits, all
with some smart TV features, baked-in WiFi and Freeview HD, in the UK at
least. The L3 range is full HD, with 40- and 48-inch options, while the
lone W3 model is a 32-inch, 1,366 x 768 affair. With the same
resolution and screen sizes from 24 to 40 inches, the D3 series also
have DVD players on board, and all of the above are slated for launch in
the US and UK later this month.
The new L54 duo, available in 40- and 48-inch full HD
flavors, include all the same features as the 3 series, with
active-shutter 3D and 2D to 3D conversion, to boot. Making a step up to
the L64 42- and 47-inch pair grants you Toshiba's more advanced "Cloud" smart TV platform,
with DVR capabilities and WiDi support. You'll lose 3D credentials, but
gain a bunch of buzzwords that speak of improved image and audio
quality, as well as support for Toshiba's mobile apps. We reach the top
end with the L74 series of 42-, 47- and 55-inch models. These have all
the features of the L64 range, plus passive 3D and Toshiba's own CEVO
picture and audio processing technology. All models in the L54, L64 and
L74 crews are due to hit shelves during the second quarter.
Also arriving before July are a trio of speaker setups to
complement your new set. There's a simple 40-watt sound bar, and two
sound bar/subwoofer combos. The "Mini 3D Sound Bar II" is the smaller of
the two, as the name suggests, with 90 watts of total power and
Bluetooth/NFC alongside probably all the physical connectivity options
you might need. Unlovingly named "SB3950M1," the bigger combo is much of
the same, but with 150 watts of total power to make your eyes rattle
just that little bit more.
