Toshiba expands the Regza family with RV, XV series 1080p LCDs


IFA's apparently given Toshiba just the opportunity necessary to refresh its line of Regza LCDs, for those without the Resolution+ itch with a few new sizes and features. The existing entry-level XV line of 1080p LCDs gets 46- and 52-inch models, plus a gloss black design that helps it fit in at the Regza family reunion. The brand new RV line of 1080p LCDs bring similar features to the ZF Series, sans Resolution+ technology and one HDMI port, but with Active Vision M100 HD 100/120Hz 5:5 pulldown image processing intact. 37-, 42- and 46-inch sizes are confirmed for the October Euro launch, prices and U.S. availability for both TBD.

KVH intros TracVision SlimLine satellite system: HDTV in your RV

Strapping a DirecTV antenna atop a moving vehicle is typically never a sound idea, but thanks to KVH's new lineup of TracVision SlimLine satellite systems, bringing HDTV to your RV just got a whole lot sleeker. The firm has launched four separate 12-inch systems that aim to bring "crystal-clear reception" into one's RV or camper, and those springing for the flagship R6 DX (pictured) will even receive a DirecTV H20 free of charge. Dubbed the "smallest and simplest" in the industry, these devices will actually come integrated into a number of 2008 RVs, but those looking to upgrade their current ride can look forward to "full support for standard and HD DirecTV programming," as well as access to Dish and ExpressVu. Now this is a quintessential aspect of a road trip done right.

Sony: "Silent Hill" and "RV" coming to Blu-ray

Add two more titles to Blu-ray's growing library. Sony Studios is planning on releasing RV and Silent Hill in August. These titles are set to release on the same date as their normal DVD counterparts: August 15 for RV and August 22 for Silent Hill. This is what needs to happen in order to present the consumer with the option of high-def. Plus, there is good chance that these Blu-ray discs will be discounted the first week like normal DVDs.
