Toshiba’s 4K Laptops Are Almost Amongst Us

“Forget HD”, everyone says, “4K is the future”. Well, if it’s the future, when can I have it? And the answer is as soon as next week, via Toshiba.

The UK has already had its first 4K Toshiba laptops for a while, but now they’re crossing over the pond to the States, where it will be called P55T. This is a 15.6-inch laptop with 3,840 x 2,160 resolution. The computer is armed with a AMD’s 2GB DDR5 Radeon R9 M265X discrete graphics to run all that resolution, along with a 4th-gen Intel quad-core i7 CPU and 16GB DDR3L max memory. The P55T is launching on April 22nd at $1,500, which is along the line for most 4K laptops.

4K resolution is about 4 times that of HD, and would set users at the top of the top when it comes to image quality and detail even in the most gigantic pictures. This is a complete treat for graphic designers and people who work in media.

Toshiba 84-inch 4K Quad Full HD TV hands-on (video)

84 seems to be the magic number at IFA. 84 inches, that is, when it comes to 4K TVs. Sony announced its jumbo 4K set at yesterday's press conference, and now Toshiba has returned with a matching high-res model of its own. The Toshiba set has a slightly sleeker housing, aided by the fact that it didn't have side-mounted speakers as with Sony's flavor -- though, if you're able to afford a (yet-unpriced) TV of this caliber, a premium surround-sound rig better be on the agenda as well. The picture quality, as you might expect, was fantastic. You'll see individual pixels once you're within a few feet of the display, but given its 84-inch footprint, you're going to want to position yourself quite a distance from the panel in order to take it all in.

Toshiba had three sets on display, running through loops of game play, cityscapes and some decked-out human models. The ambient setting was favorably configured, and with ideal content colors were vibrant and the picture was incredibly bright and sharp during our demo, even when viewed from a slight angle. There was a hint of reflection, but only when a dark image popped into frame, despite a multitude of visual noise in the area. You'll need to see Toshiba's 84-inch, 3,840 x 2,160-pixel TV in person to get the full effect (perhaps after it launches early next year), though you can take a (low-res) peek in our gallery below and the video after the break. You can also get a feel for the size -- keep an eye out for the Galaxy Note in the bottom left corner in the shot above.
