Remember the battery powered TV from Toshiba? It seemed that they’re going serious for it, and already has a market aimed at it. Toshiba is targeting ASEAN countries to promote its latest “Power TV” series, which is available in three different flavours with the PB1 (24”), PC1 (32”) and PS1 (40”). These countries include Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Brunei, and Vietnam as Toshiba’s targeted market.

The reason given is that these countries might not have consistent power as compared to Europe or Japan where electricity power supply is very stable and efficient. Such TV could actually provide its owners with the basic information needs during Typhoon seasons and during blackout. I’m not sure about the statistics of blackout occurring, but as far as I know, Taiwan has more earthquakes and natural disasters per year compared to the numbers totalled up in these countries.

Anyway, these three TV are power efficient and comes with LED panel as well as an internal battery capable to provide up to two hours of continuous play. Toshiba is hoping to offer these TVs at a price ranging from USD 190 to USD 400 in these countries.
