In the digital world today, few things will bring a gadget geek's happy day to a screeching halt like a power outage. Power outages during time of high demand or bad weather are common all across the world in developed countries, and power in developing nations is often patchy at best.

Toshiba has pulled the wraps off a new TV set that has a battery inside that promises to run for at least two hours without power. The idea is that you can watch TV with the power off and get access to weather reports if weather is the issue causing the power outage. The downside is that without an antenna or some sort of battery for your cable box or satellite box there may be no shows to watch on the set. The TV has an OTA tuner inside.

The line of TVs are called PowerTV and are LED-backlit to save on power. You can get the PC1 sets in 32-inch or 24-inch size and Toshiba claims this is the first TV line to have a battery inside. The TVs also have tech dubbed Auto Signal Booster that will help you get a clearer signal on the turner inside even if you don't have an antenna. Apparently, the sets can change to battery power immediately so users can just keep watching when the power goes out. The battery should also act as a battery backup on a computer acts as well keeping your set from going off if the power kicks off for a second.

Along with the PowerTV sets, Toshiba is also rolling out a new high-end set using a Cell Regza CEVO engine multiprocessor setup for smooth video and better performance. The set is offered in a large 55-inch screen size, is 3D ready, and has LED backlighting.

Toshiba will likewise whip out a 29mm deep WL700 slim LED set as well with 46-inch and 55-inch sizes available.
