Shame there are no details on the Toshiba website for the 42 and 47 inch models....!!!!! Toshiba must have forgot to put the details on the site. Oh dear...

This could be good news for folk (like me) who are looking to purchase 37 or 32 inch displays - hopefully the WLT58 series will get a little cheaper with the introduction of these new models - the WLT66 models don't seem to offer much more in these sizes as far as I can see.

I was contemplating on buying the 37" WLT58 but now with a new model pending release, I'm going to have to wait. Why are Toshibal releasing the WLT66 within 4-6months of WLT58 going on the market? Have they had issues logged re the later?

Anyway, what's the cheapest deal for a WLT58 out there then folks?

Thanks

Amazon have one at £1,799. Somebody must be doing them cheaper than this surely?

Is it worth waiting till April for this new version then? I would be wanting the 37inch..

I asked Toshiba the difference between the 37WLT58 and 37WLT66, here is the official response . . .'Thank you very much for your enquiry, In response to your query the 37WLT66
model will have 3 HDMI inputs and will have 1000:1 contrast ratio.

The finish of the unit will be black.'

Make your mind up time !

I hope your right. I'm in the market for a 37" shortly so fingers crossed the prices will be cut on the 58's before the 66's arrive

I was looking at the 32" 58 and then I see this.... but if the 3 main differences are the third hdmi connector and contrast ratio and the new finish... I'll hang on for a bargain 58 methinks

Being new to the interesting world of Flat Panels, I wonder how one of these Toshibas, say 42" would look compared to 42" HD Plasmas like Panasonic say or Samsung which I have to say look fascinating showing true HD material.

Can you see the picture on these new LCD Tosh models at angles?

I suppose I'm also hinting at which is best HD Plasma or HD LCD.

Comments please

Availability from late April. 42WLT66 £1360+V.A.T.
47WLT66 £2190+V.A.T. Anyone know if these beasties accept a 1080P source and whether these are "native" 1080P Jobs ? These are the best priced screens I've found that seemingly meet might my (most anyone's?) High Def vision. Cheers in advance for any useful info. Hope the pricing helps. Harry.

Where did you get those prices from?
