Toshiba To Showcase Its Latest Technologies At CEATEC
Toshiba today announced the line-up of
products and technologies that it will bring to CEATEC, Japan's largest consumer electronics show.
Toshiba will showcase the company's latest digital products, including a large-screen 84-inch Quad Full HD(4K) resolution TV, brand new Windows 8 Ultrabook, and new cloud services.
CEATEC will run from October 2 to October 6 at Makuhari Messe and Toshiba will be at booth 5B91 in Hall 5.
Toshiba's 84-inch TV offers enhanced images with a Quad Full HD (4K) screen that displays images at four times (quadruple) Full HD resolution. The demonstration is powered by REGZA CEVO ENGINE 4K, Toshiba's new high-performance multi-processor platform.
Toshiba plans to put on sale worldwide next year three 4K models, Masahiko Fukakushi, president and CEO of Toshibas digital products division, said at a Tokyo news conference on Thursday.
Along with the 84-inch model, Toshiba will release a 60-inch and the a 50-inch model. Pricing will also be announced closer to launch but will be competitive with other companies, Fukakushi said.
