Hi bodyfodder, do you have a link for that please.
Cheers Oddbodd

hi mate.

This link will take you to the main page. Click on the rear-projection section and then where it say 16:9.

All three of the new models are listed but there is no picture. If this is the confirmed price of these then it sounds like a bit of a bargain as they are supposed to have progressive scanning!

[serdar13]

WOO HOO.......Progressive scanning!

Anyone know if it does PAL and NTSC progressive scanning?

Dritte Neuerscheinung ist der Rückenprojektionsfernseher Hollywood Pro 42WH36P, ein 42-Zoll-Rückpro im 16:9-Format (107 cm Bilddiagonale). Der 100 Hz-Fernseher ist PAL- und NTSC-Progressive Scan-fähig, verschiedene neue Technologien sollen für eine besonders gute Bildqualität sorgen (PIXELPROcessing, Digital 100 Hz DFS Pro).

My german is poor but by lookin at the bit that says "PAL- und NTSC-Progressive Scan" does this mean pal and ntsc progressive?

[fisha]

looks like a bargain price, but i;m not sure if i like the newer look

one of the biggest attractions to the tosh was the thin plastic border round the whole picture - but it looks like they have started to add to that with shiny bits - which could detract from the picture itself. i'll wait till i see it in the flesh.

also, at that price, you wonder what they have sacrified to managed to bring the cost so low for the initial release of a brand new line.

The price reduction could be because of all the LCD and DLP rear-pros coming out.

Maybe crt rear projection sets are a dying breed.

Found another retailer advertising them with pictures:

http://www.aegir.co.uk/projection.htm

Have phoned them up and he will be getting back to me with prices. Not too bothered that they aren't dolby digital as I am setting up my own 6.1 setup.

As long as it has Component, scart sockets and an improved picture than the current Toshiba RP range then I can't wait.

I think the new design is very nice. Much more modern than the current crop from toshiba.

Havin just cancelled my order for a PD30 im seriously tempted by the 42" version.

What does this mean...

"Convergence -Factory Fixed - No Need to Adjust"

[serdar13]

Probably means people like those found on this forum not to mess around with the convergence through the service menu.

Im curious of the 'new 7" High Brightness Black Stripe Screen'. I wonder if this makes the picture better or is just manufacturer jargon?
