The Regza ZV series debuts Toshiba's Resolution + technology. Resolution Plus is able to improve pictures by increasing image definition and improving picture edges using correlation with adjacent images. A powerful processor is able to review adjacent areas of an image, determining waveforms of a similar nature and combine pixel information to enhance edge detail and improve the perceived depth and texture within the final picture – creating a sharper and altogether more defined image.

The image-enhancing technologies take standard definition sources, scan them and up-convert them to what's claimed to be near HD quality, Pocket-lint reports.

The ZV range has 1080p HD panels, with full support for images shot at the native film rate of 24fps.

The new Regza ZV series also features Toshiba’s Active Vision M100 HD 100Hz picture processing, which offers a 5:5 pulldown sequencing and doubles the overall image refresh rate.

There's also 10-Bit colour processing, dynamic contrast ratios of up to 30,000:1, audio provided by NICAM Stereo and SRS WOW technology, and an integrated digital tuner.

The Regza ZV series comes in 42-inch and 46-inch models in a gloss black finish with a boomerang swivel stand, priced at £899.99 & £1199.99.
