Toshiba's Ultra-HD 4K L9450 Pro Theatre TVs are at home in living rooms or boardrooms

Toshiba's latest Ultra-HD 4K L9450 series with Android Pro Theatre TVs combines image quality with an abundance of Android apps that are downloadable on Google Play. 

The TVs can be used as computer displays, and are bought by businesses for conference rooms, the company said. With available Android apps, documents created by common productivity software can be downloaded to available memory on the TV and viewed onscreen, eliminating the need for a presentation device. Wireless mice, keyboards and gamepads can be used in addition to the standard remote control as input devices*.



Four times sharper than Full HD, Ultra-HD 4K offers enhanced clarity for a growing selection of 4K content. The L9450 series is equipped with a proprietary CEVO 4K Engine that drives the 4K resolution, texture restoration and brilliance restoration, allowing regular content like TV shows and DVDs to achieve near-4K image quality. 

The L9450 series is also available in screen sizes of up to 84", providing an immersive cinematic-viewing experience. The 50" and 65" models further stand out with Direct LED (full array) with local dimming unlike most Ultra HD 4K TVs in the market.

The latest Android 4.4 platform can support up to eight users and is customisable via “Drag & Drop” widgets and webpage shortcuts.



Furthermore, users can now enjoy their favourite Android apps on a big screen while seamlessly sharing content across different Android devices via a wireless mouse, keyboard and game pad*.

“With the huge popularity of Android mobile devices, Toshiba recognised the potential within this market segment. The L9450 is developed to deliver not only the best picture realised by Ultra-HD 4K and our proprietary imaging technologies, but also the versatility of the multi-platform Android without an additional set top box,” said Ronald So, Assistant General Manager of Toshiba Singapore.
