The Toshiba H84 Range of CRT Rear Projection TVsThe 'Toshiba H84 series' incorporates four different rear projection TVs - all with identical specs except for a different screen size. These Toshiba CRT rear projection TVs come with what is referred to as the Toshiba TruView feature. This feature combines several enhancements like black level expansion, fine white, flesh tone correction, and color detail enhancer, to automatically display accurate picture and color details. Another interesting feature is the HD Dynamic Contrast - this analyzes picture information on the fly to sharpen and deepen those parts of the picture with the most detailed information.
More features and enhancements!These CRT Toshiba projection TVs come with CrystalScan HDSC; this upconverts all video signals (including 480i/p) to 1080i HD. This significantly reduces jagged-line artifacts for a smoother, more natural image. (Also selectable 540p, for those who want a progressive-scan image from a progressive-scan source). Digital Noise Reduction circuitry optimizes poor NTSC signals from antenna or cable. In addition, these CRT Toshiba projection TVs make use of DFine high-speed velocity-scan modulation. This is a Toshiba proprietary feature that 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. A 3D Y/C (4 MB, 10-bit) digital comb filter with Vertical Contour Correction processes RF and composite-video signals for a sharp, clean picture. This advanced filter significantly reduces detail noise, seen as shimmering or flicker, in complex or intricate scenes. The TouchFocus digital convergence system creates perfect corner-to-corner focus at the press of a button. Cinema Mode (3:2 pulldown) circuitry identifies film-based content from DVDs and reassembles the frame sequence to more accurately reproduces a movie's original 24-frame rate. This process eliminates artifacts and provides sharp, accurate full-frame progressive images. Finally, the 'xxH84' series of Toshiba projection TVs makes use of a TheaterFine HD super fine-pitch screen; this screen utilizes a 0.52 mm design to reduce the space between lines on the lenticular screen, thereby sharpening the image. With convenient direct video input selection, you can choose specific inputs right from the remote's numbered keypad. For those who would not be using a dedicated home theater receiver, the audio within these Toshiba projection TVs offer SRS WOW, combining SRS 3D to create a wide three-dimensional sound field, TruBass boosting bass frequency perception for dramatic low-frequency effects), and Focus (which raises the perceived sound image vertically to clarify voices) - thus greatly enhancing home-theater sound. 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. Connections include a DVI HDTV input and a HDMI (High Definition Multi-media Interface). The HDM Interface is an uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface that supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus 8-channel digital audio- all on a single cable. Similarly, DVI gives you a pure, uncompressed video connection with your DTV receiver or set-top box (not included). The supplied Illuminated Universal Remote with these Toshiba projection TVs also controls most manufacturers' VCRs and DVD Players, and the set's split cabinet design allows the cabinet to be split in two for ease of delivery and installation. Note: The 'xxH84' series of CRT HDTV-Ready widescreen Toshiba projection TVs represents an update over the older 'xxH83' version of CRT rear projection TV sets from Toshiba, and which now have been phased out. Both the H83 and the H84 ranges have got almost identical specs except that the 'xxH84' range includes a HDMI.
