Toshiba has used the revolutionary chip inside the PlayStation 3 to develop a super TV set that is almost 150 times more powerful than today's HDTVs and can store up to three terabytes of recordings.
The Toshiba Cell Regza 55-inch LCD TV, which is the first to use the ultrafast "Cell" chip found in the PS3, will be on the market in Japan in December and carry a price tag of ¥1 million ($12,700).
That is about twice the price of a comparable current generation model but buyers will get the TV set and a set-top box containing 14 tuners (today's HDTVs have three) and three terabytes (about 3000 gigabytes) of built-in storage for recording shows.
This will allow viewers to cycle back through the last 26 hours of high-definition content across eight channels on-demand.
Alternatively, eight channels can be shown on the screen at the same time.
