MediaShare is a simple graphic DLNA® interface that allows the Smart TV to easily access and stream videos, music and photos from other home network devices. TRAC ensures that Toshiba Smart TVs are fully compatible with Android™-based devices. Used in conjunction with a free Toshiba Remote app that will be available in the Android Market, TRAC takes advantage of the full IR code library and IR blaster built into the TV, to provide unique total A/V system control. At the push of a button, the Send&Play app makes it simple to wirelessly share web-based content from a Toshiba Tablet on to Toshiba’s Smart TVs via the web browser on the TV.

  • Dual Core CQ Engine and Built-in Wi-Fi

Both Toshiba 3D Smart TV Series move to an all-new level of power with the dual core CQ (Cinema Quality) Engine.

In addition, L7200 Cinema Series includes two-way ported speakers enhanced by the Audyssey® Premium Suite, which creates deeper bass and blocks distortion at louder volumes, while equalizing the softest and loudest sounds to the dynamic range of the audio system. The TVs also feature Toshiba’s first-ever Aero™ bezel-less design, bringing the picture right to the edge of the glass for an amazing viewing experience as well as an elegant black glass table stand.

The L7200 Cinema Series features a full host of connectivity options including 4 HDMI ports, two USB video ports and an HD PC input. The Smart TV also comes with a full-size wireless keyboard for easy web navigation. The L7200 Cinema Series will be available in 47- and 55-inch class screen sizes.
