A new contender in the 3D TV market has arrived with the official launch of the Toshiba Regza 55RZ1. This 55-incher is possibly the world's first large-screen glasses-free 3D TV, which displays 3D content without additional active shutter or passive 3D glasses. Moreover, it is also a 4K TV boosting a staggering 3,840 x 2,160-pixel resolution that is four times higher than a typical full-HD model.55RZ1

As far as 3D is concerned, the 55RZ1 employs a powerful Regza Engine Cevo Duo S engine and lenticular lenses to deliver up to nine effective viewing zones. An inbuilt face-tracking system is available to adapt these sweet spots to the sitting positions of the viewers at the touch of a remote button. Onscreen 3D resolution has also been bumped up to HD (720p) quality compared with its predecessors, thanks to 4K technology.

Another highlight is the panel's 4x Super Resolution+ function, which converts and optimizes 2D content to leverage on its 4K screen. These include standard-definition DVDs, as well as high-definition Blu-ray Discs. However, users can only view 4K photo files directly through the TV's USB media player, while an external A/V input box such as the THD-MBA1 is required to play native 4K videos.
