Enjoy vivid, high-contrast pictures from Toshiba's 36-inch FST PURE flat picture tube. Affordable, stylish, and loaded with features, the 36AF42 makes a great upgrade to a DVD or satellite-based home theater. The set's massive FST PURE flat tube eliminates intrusive reflections from ambient light relative to conventional CRT designs and broadens the angles from which the screen may be viewed. The 36AF42's three-line digital comb filter and vertical contour correction further enhance resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). The set provides stereo reception (with 5 watts per channel) and SAP (second audio program), which is often used to broadcast an alternate-language track. The 36AF42 derives a heightened sense of stereo separation from its double-baffle speaker system. A ColorStream component-video input provides the ultimate picture quality from interlaced component-video signals; standard composite-video inputs accommodate all DVD players and most other video sources.
You get two sets of rear AV inputs (both with S-video) as well as one set of front AV inputs for easy connection with a camcorder or gaming console. A rear AV output lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver. The 36AF42 also features color-temperature control, V-chip parental controls, a sleep timer, and a glow-in-the-dark remote control.
