Making the leap . . . Resolution+ technology

It's only natural. The only thing holding you back from investing in a new flat panel HDTV was the thought of abandoning your DVD collection. Alas, DVD's standard definition video would be woefully sub-standard when viewed on a high definition panel. Think again! Rediscover your DVD collection on the Toshiba 46XV645U's full HD 1920 x 1080p panel thanks Resolution+ Super Resolution Technology. Resolution+ upconverts and enhances 480i, 480p, and 720p input signals to near-HD levels for a dramatically improved viewing experience. Now you can enjoy all your favorite DVDs and TV channels on a full HD, widescreen LCD HDTV!

Settle for nothing less — the experience of film at home

Here's a little secret: television and film were not created equal. Film is shot at 24 frames per second. And just about every movie disc you can buy is encoded at that speed. But television programming runs at 30 frames per second, and most TVs conform to that standard. When you watch a DVD on your TV, fitting that 24-frame content onto a 30-frame screen isn't a seamless process. You can't divide 24 by 30 evenly so video engineers fill in the gaps by placing one frame on the screen three times and the next one after that two times, which can cause stutter and other visual artifacts. Alternatively, 120Hz image processing shows 120 frames per second, showing each film frame five times and each TV frame four times, allowing TVs to reproduce unconverted, evenly extrapolated 24 fps movie and 30 fps television programming. Toshiba's ClearFrame 120Hz technology teams up with the 46XV645U's built-in PixelPure 5G 14-bit digital video processing to bring a smooth, clear, film-like video experience into your home theater.

Now, how about that panel?

Speaking of the 46XV645U's powerful video performance, as a part of Toshiba's REGZA line of HDTVs, this LCD sports a variety of design features and innovations that deliver nothing short of an impacting home theater video experience. First, a 1080p panel resolution offers not only the highest video resolution currently available (1920 x 1080) but also offers progressive scanning for smoother, more natural motion images. Second, PixelPure 5G 14-bit internal digital video processing fuels your video experience with fast, accurate video processing that keeps pace with your favorite fast-action scenes. Third, the DynaLight™ dynamic backlight control — delivering enhanced black levels for sharp, lifelike detail — teams up with ColorMaster color control, color-temperature control, and Deep Color support for a range of colors and clarity of detail that are startlingly vivid and real. Finally, because this REGZA HDTV features a Cinespeed LCD panel, you know you're getting a super-fast panel-response time (8ms or less) and a wide viewing angle that deliver a stunning picture to everyone in your viewing area, no matter where they're sitting.

AutoView . . . a custom view

As you go about deciding which flat panel HDTV technology is best for you — LCD or plasma — an important factor to take into consideration is the level of ambient light in your viewing area. If your home theater area has higher levels of natural or artificial ambient light, and LCD flat panel will deliver the best viewing experience, as compared to plasma. However, as you know, ambient light changes throughout the day, and if you're watching a movie in the late afternoon or evening, light conditions might change dramatically even while you're watching. If only your LCD panel could adapt its performance for optimal viewing in any conditions. Discover the 46XV645U with AutoView. This innovative technology uses an external light sensor to monitor ambient light levels. Then, AutoView technology automatically adjusts various picture-quality settings based on both the level of ambient room lighting and the type of video content you're watching for a customized viewing experience.

Rediscover widescreen DVD video

The Toshiba 46XV645U's 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio and HD 1080p resolution are great for watching high definition video content, but what about your DVDs? All DVD video has a 720 x 480 resolution, and most DVDs can be purchase in a standard or widescreen format. You of course, being a reputable videophile, purchased your entire DVD library in widescreen so as to enjoy the entire picture as the director intended. That, however, was when movie night was hosted on your old tube TV. Now that you've got the HD 46XV645U . . . what's to guarantee that your DVDs will look just as good on your new flat panel? The answer: Toshiba's TheaterView. This technology allows the 46XV645U's panel to display enhanced widescreen television and DVD video. Three different modes adjust and optimize DVD video based on different recording and formatting methods for a truly theater-like home DVD experience.

HDMI: Advanced connectivity

Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Toshiba's 46XV645U features three HDMI connections.

Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format.

(Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)
