The raw processing power of Toshiba’s LED-backlit CELL TV (dubbed Kira2 in the US) can be tapped for a variety of resource-intensive applications, according to its spokesperson. Among these is real-time 2D-to-3D conversion for virtually any content from regular TV broadcasts to DVDs. Another possibility is 3D hand gesturing demonstrated at its booth, handy for adjusting TV volumes, etc. On the visual front, the integrated CELL processor allows LED local-dimming function of up to 512 zones. This is higher than most of its rivals, boasting dynamic contrast to an ultra-high 9 million:1, while doubling screen brightness at the same. This model is due in the second half of 2010 in the US for a premium price with the following notable features.
# Built-in Blu-ray player
# Built-in 1TB media server
# Onboard wireless HDMI
# Onboard 802.11n Wi-Fi
