Toshiba has announced the availability of its new flagship 55ZL1 HDTV. The new model will be the first HDTV to be powered by a new CEVO-ENGINE, which replaces the company’s Cell-powered models. The CEVO-ENGINE is essentially a stack of Cell multicore processors in the form of a seven-core processing unit that provides the processing grunt for such features as 2D to 3D conversion, 3D depth control, HDD video recording, Auto Calibration, and a face recognition feature that will switch to your personal settings after identifying you using the 55ZL1′s integrated camera. This means that you no longer have to reconfigure the TV every time you sit down in front of it. What’s more, you can also adjust the level of the 3D effect using a 3D Depth Control feature, while the TV’s Intelligent 3D+ reduces the panel’s response time to help cut ghosting in 3D mode. Toshiba says a new Auto Calibration feature found in the 55ZL1 adopts a color-analyzer-based approach to optimize the settings and display movies with the same colors and gray scale intended by the movie’s director. Toshiba will release the 55-inch 55ZL1 in May 2011 in Europe at a price yet to be announced. It also plans to extend the CEVO-ENGINE into its more affordable WL and upcoming YL series that will be available in 42-, 46-, and 55-inch screen sizes later this year. [Gizmag]
