sorry i meant such as

Cool, but for that price I could buy a much cheaper model and build a kick-ass HTPC

 

[falchard]

Somehow I don't think scientists are going to be buying 300 of these to do some super computing.

 

[virtualban]

or no htpc at all, just a plain old fashioned uber-computer with all in, and use it for the same and more.

It would be really cool if the processor was not in an external box but part of the flat panel...

Still, I like!

 

[audioee]

I just want the external box. 3TB DVR... that is cool.

Amazing...

Doesn't it upscale standard def to 1080p as well?

Apparently they won't let me post a youtube link demonstrating the Cell TV but if you search "Toshiba's Cell-based TV at CEATEC" on youtube you can watch it.

Built-in PLAYSTATION 3!!!!
C'mon Toshiba... You know you want to.

Alright.... so the TV DOES NOT ACTUALLY have an integrated cell processor as the title says it does. It sits inside an external box. That title is very misleading, especially when the 4th paragraph contradicts the title and the first half of the article.

So like audioee says, just give us the external box and I would gladly hook it up to a much better quality Samsung HDTV.

But can it play Crys...

(cue beating from other TH users)

So basically they added the processor of the $300 ps3 some special tuning software to record 8 streams or maybe 8 tuners iether way and added 3tbs of storage for an extra $9000. I can do that with a $2000 htpc and get me an extinct Pioneer Kuro which is still probably one of the best displays out still.

 

[tomtom_32]

this picture belongs to the cpu of ps3 slim.
are you kidding me?

 

[okibrian]

or a really, really hot date for Saturday night

You should get a lot more than just a 'date' for that.

Their Z series HDTVs came with "cell" chip for years!!!
And no, it doesn't cost a fortune and actually the only noticeable benefit was: higher quality SD -> HD upscaling.

Well said.

Wouldn't it not matter how many hdtv streams it can record since you only technically have a single cable box? I dunno how japan works but in the US most cable/sat companies would slap you upside your head if you didn't have a box for each stream..
