If putting on a pair of glasses to watch the telly is about
as natural to you as wearing a wetsuit and flippers in bed, then Toshiba's 55in
ZL2 is the velvet onesie of 3D TVs. With a quad full HD lenticular screen
beaming a different 1080p perspective to each eye (which your brain then
assembles into a 3D image), the only lenses here are the ones built into the
screen that adjust the picture for up to nine different sofa-bound gawpers at
once. A face-tracking camera squeezed into the skinny bezel works out where
everyone's sitting, thus eliminating the 3D sweetspot normally found with
glasses-free gadgets. Clever, eh?
As hot as... freshly steamed contact lenses.
Toshiba ZL2 3D TV Features
The Resolutions Will not be televised
Next to the ZL2's 3840x2160 screen your full HD telly will
look pixelated. It means 3D Blu-rays are played at full resolution (passive 3D
systems normally halve it), but there are no 2D TV broadcasts of that quality.
Yet.
A Remote Possibility
A top-end TV without Wi-Fi is like a bacon Sanger without
brown sauce. The ZL2 uses it to access iPlayer, YouTube and Facebook, and DLNA
lets it stream from other gadgets. There's a free iOS remote app, too.
Facing Facts
The ZL2's camera isn't just used for 3D. You can create
custom profiles as on a PS3 or Xbox, with different setups for each user. It
uses facial recognition to sign you in and load your settings as soon as you
sit down.
Toshiba ZL2 3D TV Release Date:
£tba (due December)
