Description:

Toshiba's high-definition-ready 34HD82 TV is poised to render vivid, detailed images from DVD players, digital TV set-top boxes, digital satellite systems, cable television boxes--you name it. And with double-baffle stereo speakers and an onboard subwoofer, the 34HD82 also sounds great. The 34-inch set's FST PURE flat picture tube looks great and minimizes unwanted reflections from room light, increases viable viewing angles.

Improving standard interlaced video signals (like those from DVD player, cable box, and VCR composite-video outputs), IDSC II performs frame, line, and pixel doubling to create progressive, full-frame images. CableClear optimizes substandard video signals, and Toshiba's motion-adaptive Hyper Progressive Scanning analyzes 13,600 screen points to smooth edges and eliminate stair-stepping artifacts. The result is a smooth, filmlike image. (IDSC II passes through 1080i images without alteration.) A 3D Y/C (4 MB, 10-bit) digital comb filter with Vertical Contour Correction ensures sharp, clean pictures from RF (older VCR, laserdisc) and composite-video signals. Meanwhile, dynamic Quadruple Focus improves edge and corner focus, so you can enjoy legible text and graphics even at screen edges.

Advanced velocity-scan modulation also improves definition at picture edges by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas. Cinema Mode (3:2 pulldown switch) circuitry identifies original film-based content from DVDs, then reassembles the frame sequence to more accurately reproduce the original 24-frame-per-second material. Dual ColorStream HD component-video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) provide the ultimate picture quality from high-resolution component-video signals such as those from DTV set-top boxes or progressive-scan DVD players.

The 16.5-watts-per-channel 34HD82 offers two sets of rear AV inputs and a set of front AV inputs (all including S-video) for easy connection with a camcorder or gaming console. A rear AV output lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver, and SRS 3D Sound simulates surround sound from any stereo audio. And the set also comes with Cyclone, a three-way speaker system using specially tuned and ported stereo speakers for crisp highs and an open sound field, together with a subwoofer tucked into the rear of the cabinet to fill out and intensify the sound.
