CES 2011: Toshiba Announces New Line of 3D TVs

Two ranges of TVs have been announced by Toshiba; the TL515 series and the UL610 series and they’re looking pretty good, as they are really slim and have that nice, chromed look. These beauties have brains too, as Toshiba’s new CEVO technology is supposed to enhance 3D picture quality and allows 2D to 3D conversion. Another interesting feature is the 3D Cross Talk canceler, which is said to reduce ghosting for better 3D images.
