Details from the Manufacturer


Video:
  • REGZA - Premium LCD TV. All REGZA models combine the fast CineSpeed LCD panel, with industry leading PixelPure Hi-bit 12-bit digital video processing, for the best possible picture quality. These models also have beautiful new black cabinetry, and built-in ATSC/QAM digital tuning.
  • PixelPure™ Hi-Bit 12-Bit Digital Video Processing - Using 12-bit picture processing (up to 14 bit internally), can create 4096 steps of gradation (steps between the whitest white, to the blackest black), and will also incorporate improvements in areas such as: real speed progressive scanning, video noise
    reduction, sharpness, and gamma control to set a new standard for picture quality.
  • Native Mode - Unlike most TVs, this advanced system eliminates any unnecessary scaling or overscanning of 1920 x 1080 signals, and displays all of the pixels on the screen for the purest possible picture.
  • HD Window™ POP - For the convenience of monitoring two sources at once, the set allows side by side viewing of two sources.
Audio:
  • SoundStrip™ Speaker System - A thin line speaker system with enhanced dynamic range yields big speaker sound in a new cabinet.
  • SRS®WOW™ (3D, TruBass®, FOCUS®) - SRS® WOW™ technology takes the performance of the television`s existing speakers to a whole new level, offering superior sound quality with no additional speakers required. SRS WOW consists of three separate sound-expanding systems which work together to extract "buried" highs and lows. The three systems are SRS 3D, TruBass, and FOCUS. SRS 3D creates a three-dimensional sound field from just two speakers, thus giving the listener the feeling of hearing a multi-speaker surround sound system.
  • Virtual Dolby® Digital and SRS TruSurround 5.1 - To make the most of today's demanding digital soundtracks, Toshiba incorporates this system to maximize the sound of our SoundStrip 2-Way Speaker System.
  • StableSound® - reduces unwanted volume fluctuations (eg. during commercials)
    by keeping volume within set levels, for easier listening.

Convenience
  • ATSC/QAM/NTSC Tuner with CableCARD™ Slot - Enables tuning of off-air, and unscrambled HD cable channels for increased flexibility. CableCARD™ from the local Cable MSO and the TV can receive applicable cable channels without
    the use of a cable box (excluding bi-directional channels/services such as Video
    On Demand).
  • PC Input (15 Pin D-Sub) - For use as a computer monitor for added
    flexibility.
  • Dual HDMI™ Digital Inputs with 1080p input capablility - include both uncompressed digital video and digital audio in one convenient cable connection from the latest home theater components.
  • IR Input - With the addition of an IR input, Toshiba Cinema Pro offers flexibility and can be integrated with a variety of home automation companies. A Toshiba Cinema Series Pro™ model has the right connections to complement your home theater, whether you wish to showcase your equipment or conceal it.
  • High Gloss Piano Black Cabinetry - Toshiba has designed a black and silver cabinet with integrated SoundStrip Speaker System, designed to blend seamlessly
    into the home decor.
  • THINC™ RJ-45 Network Capability - Allows access, through an existing home network, to your library of JPEG and MP3 files using only the TV`s remote control, even through a connected home theater; also allows for email access.
  • Channel Browser™ - View and scan through up to the last 32 channels (or inputs) watched at the push of a button. Channel Browser now includes thumbnails
    of the content displayed for that channel or input.
  • TV Guide On Screen™ - Provides an easy to read, interactive listing of television shows to view or record. Using the supplied IR blaster, this greatly simplifies in some cases, the remote control may not operate additional devices or certain features of such devices, in which case, it is suggested that you use the original remote control for the applicable device.
