Available now in the United States and in Europe this summer, the REGZA LCD
HDTVs deliver brilliantly sharp imagery and support next-generation home
network connectivity. Leveraging unique features such as Resolution+
technology, these new HDTVs enable the consumer to up-convert DivX video files
to full 1080p high definition while preserving the outstanding visual quality
that Toshiba builds into its consumer electronic products.

DivX technology allows movies to be compressed to a fraction of their original
size, while maintaining excellent visual quality. Users can fit over six hours
of high-quality DivX video on a 4GB USB. With support for DivX video,
consumers can easily playback their DivX content via the USB flash drive
directly on the REGZA TV. 

"We have worked with DivX in the past for a range of Toshiba products,
including portable DVD players and LCD TV/DVD combo to support DivX playback,"
said Masayuki Ito, Senior Manager of the TV Product Planning Group, TV
Division, in Toshiba's Digital Media Network Company. "Now that our new line
of HDTVs is DivX Certified, we can increase the value we add for consumers so
they can enjoy high-quality DivX video playback in the living room."

"DivX has long been a checklist feature in leading consumer electronics
products, and it's clear that we've evolved to become a must-have feature in
HDTVs," said Kevin Hell, Chief Executive Officer of DivX, Inc. "We are pleased
to work with Toshiba to expand our ecosystem with the new series of Toshiba
REGZA TVs soon to be available throughout the U.S. and Europe."
