In addition to Sony, several other big brands in Japanese TVs generally do not release models in the world at the same time, and even only launch their own products in a few regions and countries, such as Toshiba, Sharp and Panasonic. Sharp has confirmed that in the future, like Sony, it will release a unified model globally, and Panasonic's Japanese-designed model will only be available in a few regions such as Japan and Europe. As for Toshiba, originally after the acquisition of Hisense, the models designed by Toshiba Japan had an expansion momentum, but last year the Japanese version of Toshiba was not introduced into China, so it also made everyone have some doubts about Toshiba's TV.
In fact, last year's domestic Toshiba flagship TV Z770, and Japan's local Z770 is very different, the domestic Z770 is actually the E8H shell model, is a Mini LED TV, but and Japan Toshiba is actually not much connected, after all, it is not a product designed by Toshiba Japan. Last year, Japan's Toshiba's own TVs, including OLED X9900L, X8900L, Mini LED Z870/875 and other models, were not introduced into China, only listed in Japan and a few countries.
In 2023, other well-known brands have actually released their own new products, but Toshiba has not moved, except for some models from last year launched to the South American version, there is no news of new products. However, there was information before that Toshiba Japan's local spokesperson Shun Oguri will have a new brand promotion, and everyone speculates that Toshiba may release a new TV in 2023 in the near future, and in these two days, the official website of Toshiba TV Japan finally released this year's flagship product.
Toshiba Japan released a total of three high-end TVs. In terms of OLED TV, the new flagship TV X9900M officially came out, this OLED flagship TV, there are 55 inches, 65 inches and 77 inches three, from Toshiba's own publicity, said that X9900M uses a new OLED panel, the brightness of the whole machine is 20% higher than the previous generation of X9900L, but it is not stated whether LG's new generation uses microlens technology Meta OLED panel.
The picture quality chip part is still the highest ZRα chip, the main SoC chip part, from the interface point of view, is likely to be MediaTek's Pentonic 700 or Pentonic 1000, as for the traditional rocket artillery audio, there are 10 units with a total of 90W power. What is interesting about Toshiba this time is that it has designed a millimeter-wave radar in the TV, through which the user's position is detected and the best automatic sound and picture quality effect is provided. HDMI 2.1 Full Blood is still two, but one will include eARC functionality. This time, Toshiba did not directly release the sub-flagship X8900M, and it is estimated that it will be released for a while.
LCD part, this time Japan's Toshiba also has two models, one is the flagship Z970M, the other is the sub-flagship Z870M, both are Mini LED models. Of course, Toshiba will not clearly state what panel and how many backlight partitions of the Mini LED module are used, but from the previous generation, it is still very likely that BOE's ADS Pro panel is likely. The picture quality chip used in Z970M is the flagship ZRα chip, while the picture quality chip used in Z870M is a ZR chip, which is of lower grade.
The Z970M/870M is very similar to the previous generation Z875L/870L, the Z870M has 55 inches, 65 inches and 75 inches, while the Z970M does not have 55 inches but has 85 inches more. Toshiba said that compared with the Z875L, the 65-inch Z970M backlight partition is ten times higher, and the audio part Z970M has a total of 10 units with a total of 82W power consumption, while the Z870M has been reduced to 7 units with a total of 60W power consumption. This time, all new Toshiba machines have 4 USB ports, which is more than in the past, but from the official website, all TVs do not support WiFi 6, which makes people feel a little strange.
Since Toshiba's new products are launched on April 21, and these TVs are basically produced in China, it is not surprising that there will be factory goods. As for the price part, you can simply refer to it, the previous generation of 55-inch X9900L is about 5300 yuan, 65-inch X9900L is about 9000 yuan, but the system is definitely not Android, the picture quality part does not need to worry too much, the world's top level, it depends on whether you are willing to rush! The price of Mini LED TV will be cheaper than OLED, but there are TCL and Hisense inner volume in China, and the Japanese version of Toshiba's Mini LED TV is not an Android system, and it seems that there is not much need to buy Mini LED TV Toshiba factory goods.
As for the domestic Toshiba, it has been confirmed that a new National Bank TV will be released on April 7. However, it is regrettable that this time the National Bank still has not introduced the Japanese version of the model, will be released Z750 and Z700/600 and other LCD TV, the current information available, Z750 will be Mini LED TV, Z700 will be a direct LCD TV, but the specifications will not be too high, the price should be relatively approachable, basically sure will be BOE's ADS Pro panel. From the perspective of model positioning, it should be slightly lower than last year's domestic Z770, and the specific situation can be clearer after Toshiba's domestic conference.
If nothing else, we will also get the Bank of China's version of Toshiba's new product series this year, and we will also tell you the performance of Toshiba National Bank TV in 2023 by evaluating the experience. As for the Japanese version of Toshiba's products, it can only be said that we do our best, but we will also pay attention at any time, look at the new products of Toshiba Japan for 23 years, the value in the factory part is not worth rushing a wave, if the X9900M uses LG's latest MLA technology, it is still a little interesting!
