Toshiba launches LED TVs with built-in Blu-ray and iPlayer access
Toshiba has launched five new series of entry-level LCD/LED TVs, including its first sets to offer on-demand internet access and also built-in Blu-ray players.
Models range in size from 19- to 42-inches and include multiple HDMI inputs, a USB input and Freeview tuner as standard, with some offering Freeview HD, access to iPlayer and integrated Blu-ray players.
The Regza range of TVs is headed by the RL Series, which features TVs in 32, 37 and 42in sizes. Boasting full HD resolutions, edge-LED backlights, Freeview HD tuners, access to BBC iPlayer and WiFi connectivity, they're the best-specified models in the new range.
Next in line are the Regza DB and DL, the former offering an integrated Blu-ray player and in 32 and 42in sizes, the latter including a DVD player and coming in 19, 22, 26 and 32in forms.
As you might expect, the DB range has a full HD resolution screen, while the DL settles for 1366 x 768. Both offer Freeview tuners, twin HDMI inputs and USB and PC connections.
Next in line is the Regza HL, offering a 1920 x 1080 resolution, twin HDMI inputs and Freeview tuner, but no internet TV or integrated disc player. It's available in 32 and 42in models.
Finally, the entry-level range is the appropriately named EL series. Available in 22, 26 and 32in sizes, the EL series has an edge-LED backlight, a 1366 x 768 resolution, Freeview tuner and twin HDMI inputs.
Look out for our Toshiba blog for pictures of all the models and prices just as soon as we have them.

Maybe they looked at how well Philips did with no Freeview HD tuners and thought they'd copy that.
Oh, hang on...
Yeah, Toshiba's Freeview HD strategy does seem a bit random.
goshdarn. Why no Freeview HD on the DB range? Would have been ideal for my parents with integrated blu-ray player.
