Two common problems you may have faced when watching TVa washed-out picture and inconsistent volumeare likely to become things of the past, thanks to the Toshiba 46XV648 46" REGZA 1080p HD LCD TV.
If you usually watch TV with the lights on, or in a sunlit room, you may have noticed that the extra light lowers the contrast of the picture. Toshiba's CrystalCoat technology, built into the 46XV648, stops ambient light reflections from washing out the picture, improving contrast by 30%.
In addition, you may have been bothered by loud commercials, or inconsistent volume as you changed channels. With Dolby Volume, sound levels are monitored and adjusted so that the volume remains at a consistent level, but with full dynamic range.
These groundbreaking technologies are not the only reasons to consider the 46XV648. The HDTV also comes with a set of winning features found in other Toshiba models.
For starters, the 46XV648 is built around a 1080p full HD display with 120Hz frame rate for smooth motion and has a high 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for improved picture clarity. The set also upconverts 480i/p and 720p content to improve picture detail. An automatic picture adjustment feature ensures superior image quality by optimizing several picture settings. And a dynamic backlight control adjusts black levels for greater image richness and depth.
Gamers will like this set's gaming mode, which actually improves controller response by shortening overall signal to screen time. If your problem is not slow gameplay, but keeping track of all your remotes, the Toshiba's Regza-Link connection uses CEC technology to let you control compatible audio/video devices, such as a Blu-ray disc player or audio receiver, from the TV remote control.
As expected, the 46XV648 comes with a full complement of inputs, including HDMI, component, S-Video, and composite, as well as a high-resolution PC input for viewing PC files or playing games on the big screen.
When it comes to delivering all the benefits you expect from an HDTV, the Toshiba 46XV648 provides all the right solutions.
