The Best HD
Not all HDTVs are created equal - and if you're buying high def, you deserve the best. Enter the 1080p HDTV.
Why 1080p
What is 1080p and why do you want it?
HD television is displayed on your screen in pixels - the more pixels in a smaller area, the sharper the image (the number of pixels on the screen is referred to as the resolution, usually indicated in a vertical by horizontal format). A quick reference was developed by the industry to inform customers the kind of quality that modern displays are capable of.
The year of HD truly begins with 1080p. You may have heard of 1080i - the gold standard in high definition up until now - what's the difference between p and i anyway?
To Interlace or Not to Interlace...
1080i indicates an interlaced display whereas 1080p indicates a progressive display.
A 1080i interlaced display takes 1080 lines of resolution and breaks them down to two fields of 540 lines - one displayed after the other, fooling the eye into seeing 1080 lines of picture. This means that there will be roughly 1 million pixels onscreen at any given time.
A 1080p progressive display shows 1080 lines of resolution in each field. This doubles the resolution onscreen to over 2 million pixels - weighing in at a resoltuion of 1920x1080 pixels.
1080p - The Way to Be
With the dawn of the High Definition Optical Disc as well as High Definition gaming and more HD channels every day (HD source required) it's easy to see that you want the most resolution you can get. Don't settle for anything less than 1080p.
FEATURES: - Witness the stunning image quality of high definition 1080p (1920 x 1080) - the best screen resolution existing technology has to offer. By offering an image that produces up to 6 times the information and quality of traditional TV, you'll experience television in a realm akin only to actually being in the picture.
- Toshiba's blazing PixelPure HBit 14 Bit video processor computes information at incredible speeds and renders content with crystal-clear definition and a vibrant 68 billion colours. The DynaLight dynamic back light increases the contrast levels up to 5 times (2000:1 true contrast ratio), providing optimal screen brightness in any viewing environment. The end result? Lifelike textures, unrivalled detail and rich, vivid colours.
- The display's response time of less than 6 milliseconds ensures that all moving images are rendered at the speed they were filmed. This is especially important when watching fast-paced movies and games. A wide viewing angle of 178 degrees lets you experience the incredible image quality from nearly anywhere in the room.
- The audio capabilities are nothing to scoff at, either. With support for many different audio formats including SRS WOW, MTS/SAP, Dolby Digital/PCM, and StableSound you can connect to your audio/video surround sound system for a completely immersive aural experience, or listen through two very vocal 10 Watt speakers that are built into the set.
- Six different TheatreWide modes will accommodate the aspect ratio from any viewing source from standard definition TV to newer high definition disc players and game consoles. And, speaking of game consoles, the REGZA has a special gaming mode that enhances every subtle nuance of your gaming experience. Never before have you played in such realistic environments.
- Numerous input/output ports allow for the connection and full exploitation of nearly any audio/video device. With 3 HDMI 1.3 ports, you can connect and enjoy the incredible capabilities of devices like HD-DVD, Bluray, or HD game consoles to their fullest potential. Other ports like component, DVI, and S-video let you connect your DVD player, VCR and more. With the integrated ATSC/QAM/NTSC you can capture and enjoy both standard and high definition channels over the air anywhere those signals are being broadcasted.
- With the ability to blend in seamlessly with any modern home theatre components and furniture, the REGZA's slim and sleek design will become the undeniable focal point of your home theatre.
