Toshiba has clearly taken the fight to the competitors with the unveiling of their ZL2; the world's largest glasses free 3DTV


Toshiba today announced the flagship of their TV range, the ZL2, a glasses free LED 3DTV with Toshiba's QuadHD resolution which offers customers a quite exceptional 3,840 x 2,160 screen.


Coming in at 55 inches, the ZL2 is the largest of its class and with the QuadHD resolution tech built-in the ZL2's huge screen can be viewed in 3D by large groups at angles that had previously not been possible. In 2D this technology essentially means that if one were to display an image taken with a 8MP camera it would be shown at its true size with no degredation of quality.

The face-tracking software onboard means that once activated the ZL2 will work out where each person is sitting and then optimise the picture for each viewer making sure the 3D is perfectly aligned. If that wasn't enough it'll also upscale any SD or HD images to make sure they use every last bit of the QuadHD screen, finally add in Toshiba's new Smart TV software and you've got a 3D behemoth.

This of course, will not come cheap with sources reporting that it could be as much as ?4,000 in the UK however that is, as yet, unconfirmed.

Great news, I like the sound of the tech installed in it.
55" is too big for me, even if I could afford it!
Whats even better news is that once a tv like this is out on the market, before long LG or Samsung shouldn't be too far behind, with different sizes,...........at half the price!
Plaudits to Toshiba though for being at the forefront of truly cutting edge tech.
The biggest barrier to 3D uptake has always been having to wear those stupid glasses!

Less chance of causing headache if using the 'passive' technology
