Toshiba 42HL67U Projection LCD TV

Toshiba’s 42HL67U is fitted with Toshiba’s REGZA Premium LCD CineSpeed Panel. This panel offers response times that are among the best in the industry. So when buying this set, you’ll definitely get more than you bargained for. Along with this, the set also sports PixelPure 3G Digital Video Processing. Using 14-bit picture processing, PixelPure 3G can create 4096 steps of gradation for a smooth, natural-looking picture without image banding.

DynaLight Dynamic Backlight Control completes the cast as it monitors the brightness level of each video frame, and automatically adjusts the backlight intensity based on the image content. Precise signal analysis affords 256 levels of backlight intensity. This creates dynamic contrast up to 5 times that of the original panel contrast, resulting in a deeper black level that increases detail and depth, even in low light environments.

And to get TV signals to this extraordinary LCD panel, there’s a built-in NTSC/ATSC/QAM digital tuner to capture over-the-air standard and high definition broadcasts as well as unencrypted digital cable programming.

HDMI, which this set has, is the first industry-supported, uncompressed, single-cable, all-digital audio/video connection. HDMI provides the best interface between a DVD player and compatible products, such as the 42HL67U. This single interconnecting cable combines multichannel audio, uncompressed digital video, intercommunication between devices, and simple control protocols. This single-cable connection ensures that all signals remain in their pure digital form and secure by use of High Definition Copy Protection (HDCP) regardless of signal output resolution.

Another important aspect of this TV is that it’s a LCD projector, which works like a flashlight to create an image. The white light is separated into red, green, and blue beams, which are fed separately through the panels, recombined to create the full color image, then enlarged to fill the screen.

High definition 720p (1366 x 768 pixel) native resolution assures finely detailed images. This LCD projector is lightweight, but still provides rich colors and sharp contrast for a huge, high-quality image. The HD Dynamic Contrast feature of the 42HL67U increases contrast and color saturation to create deep, rich images. Its intelligent circuitry analyzes both the dark and bright areas of the picture, and separately optimizes the dynamic range in each area of the picture. The six TheaterWide screen modes are ideal for HDTV signals and enhanced DVDs, allowing you to crop the screen image just the way you like it.

Quality images may be what you desire most, but the audio features on this TV aren’t anything to sneeze at either. Toshiba’s 42HL67U creates a dramatically improved home theater sound with a 20-watt total power output delivered through a new SoundStrip Speaker System, a new speaker technology using a thin-line speaker design with enhanced dynamic range.

This eliminates the big round speakers, without losing any of the big home theater sound. SRS WOW technology creates a more enveloping sound with enhanced bass and better dialogue reproduction. This system is a combination of three unique soundfield enhancements: SRS 3D TruSurround to create a wide, three-dimensional sound field from two TV speakers, TruBass for boosting bass for dramatic low frequency effects, and, FOCUS to raise the sound image vertically for clearer voices, even at lower volume levels.

SRS WOW technology takes the performance of built-in speakers to a whole new level — without additional speakers. And for those of you who just hate it when loud commercials unexpectedly blast you out of your socks, the StableSound feature maintains the volume within a preset range, regardless of the source signal.
