Well, Toshiba Japan has just unveiled 15 new LCD HDTVs. First up is the REGZA Z1 Series which comes in 37, 42, 47, and 55-inch models. They all boast a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution, edge-lit LED technology, a 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, an SD / SDHC card slot, two USB ports, an Ethernet port, 10W x 2 speakers, four HDMI ports, a REGZA link, and Windows 7. They'll retail for $2,700, $3,300, $4,200, and $5,200, respectively, in Japan this June. Sadly, the HDDs are sold separately.

Next up is the REGZA RE1 Series which comes in 19, 22, 26, 32, 37, 42, 47, and 55-inch models. The smaller four models boast a measly 1,366 x 768 resolution, while the larger four models sport a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution. All of them feature edge-lit LED technology, a 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, REGZA link, four HDMI ports, a USB port, an Ethernet port, and video on demand support. Again, the HDDs are sold separately and the four larger models boast the same "clear" LED panel that the REGZA Z1 Series has. The 19-inch model will cost you $850, while the largest and highest-end model will cost you $4,600. These will start being released next month (May) with a full availability expected in August.

The last Series they announced is the REGZA HE1, which comes in 19, 22, and 26-inch models. They all boast the same 1,366 x 768 resolution, edge-lit LED technology, REGZA link, two HDMI / USB / Ethernet ports, video on demand support, a 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and a 500GB HDD. These will be available for $1,200, $1,300, and $1,400, respectively, and launch in July in Japan.
