Description:

The 35-inch Toshiba 35AF44 FST PURE Flat direct-view CRT TV delivers a big, beautiful picture using several unique technologies to give you the best viewing experience. Toshiba's Flatter Squarer Tube (FST) significantly reduces screen curvature on the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal axis of the panel. The FST PURE Flat picture tube delivers increased viewing angles along with the enhanced picture linearity necessary to produce accurate, lifelike images. Additionally, unwanted reflections from room lighting are taken care of, and sharpness and brightness are improved.

A 3-line digital comb filter with Vertical Contour Correction virtually eliminates dot crawl or cross-color interference--producing a superior picture. While digital comb filters improve the vertical edges of images, Vertical Contour Correction works with the comb filters to improve the horizontal edges for complete image enhancement. Color temperature controls allow you to adjust white balance. The "Warm" setting reduces the color temperature to an NTSC standard 6,500 degrees Kelvin and delivers a redder image that is ideal for display in a dimly lit room. "Medium" and "Cool" provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as room light levels are increased. The Black Level Expander increases the black threshold level, so blacks are pure black, not dark gray. This improved contrast makes the picture appear sharper and more three-dimensional.

Toshiba's Advanced VSM (velocity scan modulation) improves contrast and overall picture sharpness, while the Invar shadow mask eliminates picture discoloration (doming) caused by heat and allows the tube to operate at a higher voltage, producing brighter whites, higher contrast, and purer colors. A 16:9 mode uses vertical compression to display content formatted for a widescreen.

The 35AF44's double-baffle speaker design uses side-mounted, front-firing speakers to deliver the most stereo sound reproduction available from a television's internal speaker system. Aside from the 5-watts-per-channel stereo speaker system, the 35AF44 uses MTS for programming with stereo sound, SAP for receiving a second audio track in another language. And if you really like to be immersed in the environments on screen, the set's surround sound abilities lets you enjoy an enhanced home theater experience without connection of external speakers. The StableSound volume leveler eliminates drastic volume spikes while changing channels or when channels go to a commercial break.

The 35AF44 has plenty of inputs for connecting all your audio and video components. In back you'll find one RF, two composite, one S-video, and one ColorStream component, as well as video and audio outputs. ColorStream component video inputs split the video signal into its base components--Y (the black and white part of the picture), Pr (red minus Y), and Pb (blue minus Y). The signal remains pure and unaffected by the TV's comb filter or NTSC decoder. The result is higher resolution and improved color purity. A front composite with S-Video input makes hooking up a game console or camcorder a snap.

Many convenience features have been incorporated into the 35AF44's design. A four-item glow universal remote with DVD controls give you access to the tri-lingual (English, Spanish, French) icon on-screen display, sleep timer, noise muting, and channel return as well as basics like channel changing, volume, and picture and audio adjustments. There are also V-Chip parental control options and closed captioning when the Mute is on.
