The VL series is winning people over, thanks to its distinctive visual design (created by design icon Jacob Jensen), its streamlined housing and the touch controls integrated into its frame. The full HD resolution LED Eco panel delivers outstanding picture quality at low power consumption levels.

FULL HD
Full HD" televisions are capable of displaying the full high-defi nition resolution level of 1920 x 1080 pixels.

100 Hz-technology
Televisions featuring 100-Hz technology generate additional frames between those received in the signal, doubling the number of individual frames per second to 100. This not only creates noticeably sharper moving images, but also eliminates the annoying problem of juddering.

JAPANESE TECHNOLOGY MEETS DANISH DESIGN
The aim of cooperating with JACOB JENSEN DESIGN was to combine the highest technical demands with modern elegance.

For over 60 years JACOB JENSEN DESIGN has been one of the best known design studios in the world and it can demonstrate a significant history of high-quality, successful and internationally prize-winning products. JACOB JENSEN DESIGN understands how to bring form and function into perfect harmony like no other studio. That is why JACOB JENSEN DESIGN was the ideal partner to combine the highest demands of design and technology alongside Toshiba.

TV Design - more important than ever.
The TV is the focal point of any living room and over the years has changed from a simple utility item to part of the interior design. With screen sizes of 40 inches and above, the TV occupies a large space in the living room, in spite of its flat construction. Therefore the appearance of the flat-screen TV plays a key role in the living room. Our VL748 and WL768 series models, which were designed in cooperation with JACOB JENSEN DESIGN, add to the atmosphere in living areas and set a design accent without, however, compromising in terms of dimensions or function.

Design - more than just appearance.
In a good design, visual elements and functionality complement each other to form a high-quality overall appearance. As a result of its clear lines combined with high-quality materials such as glass and metal, a modern elegance shines out from the TVs in our VL748 and WL768 design series. But the appearance is not an end in itself. After all, the TV should fit perfectly into a modern living atmosphere without dominating it. In addition, the functionality should not be adversely affected in favour of the appearance, but rather should even improve it if possible.

Merging Technology and Design.
The results of this cooperation with the JACOB JENSEN DESIGN studio are the completely revised VL748 and WL768 series devices. The final designs were preceded by more than six months of work on 20 drafts. This process created two TV series that stand out as a result of their subtle visual design. Instead of using buttons on the side of the device, the VL748 and WL768 Series models are controlled via a touch panel that is integrated into the frame-free surface. When designing the rear, particular focus was placed on easily-reachable connections and a wall mounting that is as compact as possible.

LED PICTURE QUALITY
In LED televisions, LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are used for backlighting purposes. When LEDs are used in televisions, they vastly improve picture quality and lower power consumption.

RESOLUTION+
"Resolution+" technology improves the picture quality produced by conventional image signals by means of a three-stage process that employs edge smoothing and sharpness enhancement techniques. This upgrades the quality of SD
pictures to one that is comparable with HD.

Toshiba Multituner
This device offers an integrated multituner with DVB-C, DVB-T, DVB-S/S2 and an analogue reception.
