Bursting forth with its huge screen and a bounty of high-tech features, Toshiba's 65H82 widescreen projection TV is set to render vivid, smooth, and detailed video signals from DVD players, digital TV set-top boxes, digital satellite systems, cable television boxes--you name it. Topping the great features is IDSC Pro, which coverts all 480i and 480p signals (as from progressive-scan DVD players and DTV set-top boxes) to 540p. Since 540p and 1080i share the same scan rate, the 65H82 establishes a single focus point, eliminating focus compromise. Frame, line, and pixel doubling are all used to create progressive, full-frame images from standard interlaced signals (such as composite-video signals from DVD players, VCRs, and camcorders).
A 3D Y/C (4 MB, 10-bit) digital comb filter provides more accurate processing of RF and composite-video signals for a sharper, cleaner picture. This advanced filter significantly reduces detail noise, seen as shimmering or flicker, in complex or intricate scenes. Meanwhile, DFine high-speed velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.
The set's TruView feature, by combining several enhancements (Black Level Expansion, Fine White, Flesh Tone Correction, and Color Detail Enhancer), automatically displays more accurate picture and color details. New to this model is HD Dynamic Contrast, which continually analyzes picture information and sharpens and deepens those parts of the picture with the most detailed information.
For audio, the 65H82 offers SRS 3D Sound Field Expander, which creates a wide, three-dimensional sound field from the television's internal speaker. StableSound maintains television volume within a preset range regardless of the source signal, and Toshiba's Sub Bass System (SBS) boosts a program's low-end audio for heightened dramatic impact. This set comes with an illuminated universal remote control.
