1080p . . . just the beginning

With Toshiba's 40RV525U LCD HDTV, a full HD 1920 x 1080p resolution really is just the beginning — a variety of high-performance design innovations deliver an impacting HD home video experience. First, DynaLight™ backlight control takes advantage of advanced image processing to monitor the brightness of each video frame, then adjusting backlight intensity accordingly in order to create seamless transitions and deep blacks for increased detail and depth analysis. Second, a CineSpeed™ LCD panel delivers an 8ms-or-faster pixel-response time, necessary for clean reproduction of high-action sequences. Finally, a wide viewing angle makes sure that everyone has a great view of the main attraction, no matter where they're sitting.

Rediscover widescreen DVD video

The Toshiba 40RV525U'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 40RV525U . . . 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 40RV525U'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.

As a, shall we say, 'dedicated' gamer, you realize that speed is of the essence. You also realize that you are only as fast as your video components. So, why not invest in faster devices?

These digital tuners make receiving and enjoying digitally broadcast content — whether from the air or from cable or satellite &mdash easy and worry-free.

HDMIncredible

Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Toshiba's 40RV525U features three HDMI connections. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. 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. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)

Avoid the 'No Wire" ire

The advent of HDMI has been monumental in the advancement of all your favorite audio and video gadgets. Don't miss out on all that your new 40RV525U offers — in terms of high-definition audio and video connectivity — by leaving a set of HDMI cables off the list.
