As 1080p and Blu-ray have become mainstream in the high-definition landscape, and as we are trying to figure out how Internet content streaming will impact the future of Blu-ray, Toshiba presented its vision for entertainment enthusiasts who are looking for more than just HDTV - Quad HDTV. The company is expected to be first to be providing a device that will be able of hitting 4K resolutions.
HD DVD has been officially dead for almost a year now and Blu-ray has taken over the HD media role for now. Strangely enough, Blu-ray is a non-topic so far at CES 2009 - and is trumped by presentations about Wireless HD as well as Internet content streaming. Toshiba is still not offering Blu-ray players and today said that it won’t introduce such players in 2009 either. Instead, the company is relying on enhanced feature sets in three new Regza TV families, which will include LED backlighting (edge lighting as well as full matrix lighting), 240 Hz effect technology as well as Resolution+ 1080p upscaling, which, according to the company, will deliver a near-HD viewing experience.

Toshiba's flagship Regza SV670 series LED-backlit LCD TVs
January 16, 2009 We saw more than a few "me too" LCD TVs at CES 2009, so we have to give it to Toshiba for the laundry list of features in their flagship Regza SV670 series, including a few that no-one else has bothered to think of including in a TV - like Dolby Volume, which promises to sort the age-old problem of volume inconsistencies between advertising and programming, or between channels.
Toshiba's Super Resolution Technology has been renamed Resolution+, and is on board the SV670. Resolution+ is the technology behind the upscaling DVD players the company threw it's weight behind after HD-DVD bit the bullet last February. With more and more low-resolution content being streamed and downloaded from the Internet, Resolution+ promises to take any SD or 720p signal and make it fit a Full HD screen without the artifacts.
ClearScan 240 uses 120Hz technology with a new backlight scanning technique, that uses "human persistance of vision" to reduce motion blur to the extent of a full 240Hz frame rate, without the cost.
FocaLight LED backlighting differs from the simple edge LEDs of the past by creating a matrix of hundreds of LED zones, which can be controlled individually to create a far higher dynamic contrast ratio.
