Description
The 52" 52HMX94 is part of Toshiba s acclaimed Cinema Series line. It not only delivers an extraordinary picture but is one of the few DLP (Digital Light Processing) big-screens with built-in reception capability for both over-the-air and cable HD programming. The 52HMX94 uses a proprietary system called TALEN (Toshiba Advanced Light Engine). It s based on Texas Instruments HD2+ - one of their most advanced DLP chips. It has the same 1280 x 720-pixel resolution as the popular HD2 chip but this upgraded version delivers enhanced brightness and contrast. All non-HD signals are upconverted and enhanced by Toshiba s multi-step PixelPure video processing system which optimizes resolution contrast and color. Signals are scaled to match the DLP chip s native 1280 x 720 (720p) resolution. Another great Toshiba innovation is the dual-mode Radiance DC Lamp. The 120-watt high-brightness setting is for daytime use with ambient room light while the 100-watt setting decreases brightness and increases contrast ratio for more cinematic nighttime viewing in a room with dimmed or darkened lights. (Tip: the 100-watt mode also extends lamp life.) The lamp s unique Instant Restart feature allows the TV to be turned on immediately after shutdown unlike other lamp-based models.
