Toshiba 42H82 42-Inch 16:9 HDTV-Ready Projection TV

Toshiba's motion-adaptive Hyper Progressive Scanning system analyzes 13,600 points onscreen to create smooth edges and eliminate "stair-stepping" artifacts. The resulting smooth, filmlike image is enjoyable even up close. IDSC Pro passes through 1080i images without alteration, and now accepts 720p images and displays them as 1080i. Multiwindow dual-tuner picture-in-picture (PIP) grants PIP functions without the use of a VCR as a second source. This lets you scan through all stations on nine boxes across the bottom of the screen--you can even use the boxes to scan preset channels. A stellar 3D Y/C (4 MB, 10-bit) digital comb filter with Vertical Contour Correction provides more accurate processing of RF and composite-video signals for a sharper, cleaner picture. This advanced comb filter significantly reduces detail noise, seen as shimmering or flicker, in complex scenes. CableClear Digital Noise Reduction circuitry optimizes poor NTSC signals from antenna or cable, and Dual ColorStream HD component-video inputs provide the ultimate picture quality from high-resolution component-video signals (as from DVD players and satellite receivers).

New to this model are DFine high-speed velocity-scan modulation, which improves contrast and overall picture sharpness, and HD Dynamic Contrast, which continually analyzes picture information and sharpens and deepens those parts with the most detailed information. Cinema Mode circuitry (3:2 pulldown switch) identifies original film-based content from DVDs, then reassembles the frame sequence to more accurately reproduce the original 24-frame-per-second material. The TouchFocus automatic digital convergence system creates perfect corner-to-corner focus at the press of a button. Manual override adjustments are available. For audio, the 42H82's SRS 3D Sound Field Expander creates a wide, three-dimensional sound field from the television's internal speaker, which enhances sound quality without adding external speakers. StableSound maintains television volume within a preset range regardless of the source signal. Toshiba's Sub Bass System (SBS) boosts a program's low-end audio. This unit comes with an illuminated universal remote control.
