Toshiba Europe introduces slim all-in-one Full HD LED-TVs with embedded Blu-ray player

The new DB833 series offers a comprehensive HD feature set including a Blu-ray HD player and HD tuners in a compact form.

Neuss, 15th February 2011

Toshiba Visual Products, a division of Toshiba Europe GmbH, today announced its first range of LED-TVs with an integrated Blu-ray player. The DB833 series will be launched with two models differing in screen size: one with a Full-HD panel measuring 80cm (32’’), another measuring 107cm (42’’).

Both TVs feature HD tuners for DVB-C and DVB-T. The DB833 series TVs will be available as of April 2011 across Europe. Toshiba Europe will be launching Full-HD LED HL series TVs without a Blu-ray player across Europe in March 2011.

Multi-functional DB833 series in a compact format
“Toshiba continues its strategy of smoothly integrating TVs into users existing equipment, with the all-in-one DB833 series making a clean sweep in people’s living rooms,” said Sascha Lange, Head of Marketing Visual Products Toshiba Europe. “These are our first ever TVs with a Blu-ray player integrated, yet they have a very compact form factor, a perfect choice for any room.”

Comprehensive HD features
With the integrated Blu-ray player, a LED backlit Full-HD panel with 1920×1080 pixels and an HD tuner supporting DVB-T and DVB-C, the DB833 series offer a stunning high-quality home cinema feeling. The new all-in-one devices also support CI+ for Pay-TV decoding and are able to serve as a media player to playback photos, videos and music directly from a compatible storage device such as a USB memory stick plugged into the TV’s USB port. To facilitate access to entertainment content a large selection of file formats including mkv, jpg, mp3, divX, avi, and mkv is supported. Besides the USB port, the DB833 also features two HDMI interfaces and a VGA port for PC input.

Full HD HL series without Blu-ray player
For customers who already own a Blu-ray player Toshiba also offers models without an integrated Blu-ray player which provide a set of specifications that is similar to that of the BD series.
