Toshiba’s new REGZA record over LAN, convert 2D to 3D quite soon in Japan
Though Toshiba’s flagship ZX900 Cell TV has yet to make its feature-packed US debut, the company is already planning fancy new toys for the motherland. This week, Toshiba announced a full fifteen new LCD HDTVs destined to spice up the sweltering Japanese summer — each of them ready to pull double duty as DVR — and Nikkei Electronics reports that the company’s 3D-converting sets will debut around the same time. Meanwhile, Google Translate tells us a bit about the rest. While the low-end REGZA HE1 series have only a built-in 500GB hard drive and LED-backlit LCDs (as if that weren’t enough), the RE1 can send footage to up to four external hard drives over USB in a system that gives each family member their own dedicated hard drive. But the Z1 series takes the cake — it’s got fleshed out DVR functionality that lets users record two programs at once (while watching a third) and jack into a LAN switch with eight drives for a veritable NAS of up to 4TB. It’s little things like this that make us wish we lived in Japan.

VIZIO brings the LED party to 19- and 23-inch models
Unless you’ve been under a rock for a hot minute, then you know that LED backlit LCD HDTVs have been all the rage, though so far no one has brought those benefits to the smaller TVs. Well today VIZIO added a 19-inch and a 23-inch model to its LED lineup. Only the 23-inch is 1080p, but both have very thin profiles and the improved contrast and color you’d expect. The interesting twist is that both models will work as a picture frame, which someone (as in, literally one person in some random corner of the globe) might appreciate. The 19-inch model retails for $349, and the 23-inch will set you back another $50, but there’s no word on when you can expect these to show up on a store shelf near you. More pictures and the full release after the jump.

Samsung’s 40-inch LCD is world’s thinnest at 3.9-mm, attracts magic pencils
What measures 3.9-mm thin by 40 inches? If you answered the standard Korean product waif you’d be close. This time, however, we’re talking about Samsung’s LED backlit LCD featuring a 120Hz refresh and 5,000:1 reported contrast. Yup, that makes it the world’s thinnest — easily besting cross-town rival LG’s 5.9-mm thick LCDs — even if you can’t buy it as a complete television package… yet.
