Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

The new REGZA ZV series combines HD Ready 1080p picture processing with our stunning Deep Lagoon design finish, setting a new standard in LCD TV aesthetic design. The Regza ZV series contains our newly developed Active Vision M200HD picture processing technology to produce Toshiba’s smoothest fast moving images to date. Our latest picture processing technology inserts additional frames and using an advanced backlight scanning method, produces a 200Hz effect for the best handling of motion, as fast-moving images appear clearer and smoother than ever. All Regza ZVs feature our critically-acclaimed Resolution+ technology which enhances edge detail and texture to upscale standard definition content to virtually high definition quality providing clearer, sharper, richer images. As no environment is ever the same, AutoView function is able to adapt to its surroundings. The content being shown on screen and the ambient room lighting are taken into account, resulting in the picture modifying itself to suit, providing the optimal viewing experience at all times. Integrated Dolby Volume stops those annoying changes in volume levels as you switch between advert breaks, channels and sources, to provide a consistent volume level at all times.

Active Vision M200HD


Active Vision M200HD alters each frame to create faster, smoother moving images. View large

Even with Full HD 1080p picture quality, clarity and detail is lost with fast-moving action. Active Vision M200HD enhances our 100Hz technology which creates new frames to appear between the original transmitted frames. It uses 360 degree motion estimation, complex mathematics and 10-bit video processing to calculate the movement required by each pixel. Each frame is only held on screen for 1/100th of a second to eliminate pixel drift and reduce blurring. The result is seamless motion. Active Vision M200HD take this process a step further. It uses the same principal of creating new frames but alters each frame to create faster, smoother moving images. While LCD TVs use a hold technology to produce a picture, the longer that image stays on screen the greater the chance of a visual judder. To counteract that effect, Active Vision M200HD inserts black sections into all frames - reducing their time on screen - and tricking your mind into seeing a smoother, clearer picture. The result is seamless motion and amazingly smooth action. Active Vision M200HD has to be seen to be believed.



With Resolution+, your 1080p Toshiba LCD TV will produce near HD picture quality on all standard definition TV. View larger.
Resolution+
Toshiba’s unique and critically-acclaimed Resolution+ upscaling technology takes everyday standard definition content and instantly enhances it to virtually high definition picture quality by
improving edge detail and texture. With Resolution+, your 1080p Toshiba LCD TV will produce near HD picture quality on all standard definition TV, DVD and downloaded content you watch while still delivering the most pure and stunning picture quality possible from all high definition sources. Watch as your favourite movies, programmes and games become clearer, richer and sharper than ever before with Toshiba, and Resolution+.

Resolution+ Step By Step

1.
A standard definition (SD image) from your digital set top box, aerial, MP3 player, laptop/PC, games console or DVD is received and upscaled to near HD quality.
2. The freshly upscaled image is then down converted to SD quality to compare the newly created SD image to the original SD input signal.
3. Differentials between the original image and the downscaled image are detected and removed. This process of upscaling and downscaling takes place three times, all in real time, so no delay can be seen.
4. On the final rotation, an SD image is output at close to high definition quality, resulting in a clearer, sharper, richer image.



AutoView automatically adjusts picture settings according to room lighting and screen content. View larger.

AutoView
Toshiba’s unique technology that automatically adjusts picture settings depending on not only the room lighting, which is common feature on quality LCD TVs these days, but also the content shown on screen. The technology eliminates the need to constantly have to adjust the backlight brightness and colour settings in order to find the best viewing experience in all environments.

The ambient light sensor is constantly analysing the room lighting and adjusting the LCD’s backlight to suit. Through the use of this technology the viewer is provided with a more comfortable viewing experience in all lighting conditions. Content viewed on screen is also constantly analysed. Dark and bright pixels shown on screen are monitored and picture settings are adjusted to provide the best possible image. AutoView means that your REGZA LCD TV is always performing at its full potential, delivering the best possible picture quality at all times.

Reduced Power Consumption
With backlight levels constantly being controlled, AutoView works in conjunction with numerous Toshiba initiatives aimed at lowering power consumption. As the backlight is not set at a constant level but adapts to it’s surroundings, this allows for less power to be used in dark rooms whereas standard LCDs would still be consuming higher levels of power.

Dolby Volume
Dolby Volume stops those annoying changes in volume levels in advert breaks and when switching between channels and sources, providing a consistent volume level at all times. This feature eliminates the need for you to keep reaching for the remote control every time an advert break comes on, and then again when the program you are watching resumes.

When changing between channels and TV to DVD etc, the volume can also increase or decrease significantly. Dolby Volume keeps the volume at one level, making sure it doesn’t change when the input changes. The result is an extraordinarily improved viewing experience, one free of the constant need to adjust the volume.



Enhance your gaming experience with Game Mode. View larger.

Game Mode

Models in the ZV Series have a very exciting new feature for the gamers amongst you; Game Mode. This feature is designed to enhance the gaming experience by ensuring the best possible aspect ratios and response time of the television to the gaming console. Game Mode bypasses much of the picture processing technology required to enhance TV programmes and films, resulting in an improved response time and screen refresh rate. Games appear on screen exactly how they are intended to by the developers and the action on the screen is displayed with practically no lag time. With no technical barriers to inhibit game play, games can be enjoyed in optimal conditions meaning your performance will not be negatively effect by your television in any way.

Game Mode is compatible with any HDMI equipped games console and automatically adjusts the picture to deliver a more realistic game setting and importantly 1:1 pixel mapping. This allows every last detail of the original image to be shown without cropping the edges; giving the online gamer a distinct advantage over opponents without Game Mode and improving the overall gaming experience for even the most casual of gamers.



Connect all your media with HDMI Instaport. View larger.

HDMI Instaport
With a wide range of HDMI equipped devices on the market, individuals are now starting to connect games consoles, DVD players, PC’s and set top boxes all via HDMI. When you wish to change from playing your games console to watching TV, you will need to change HDMI inputs and expect that content will appear on screen without delay. This is not always the case with HDMI connections, when changing from HDMI1 to HDMI2 LCD’s can take up to 6 seconds to show content due to an HDCP authorisation routine which has to be performed each time a HDMI connection input is switched. INSTAPORT solves this problem. Normally HDCP authorisation is not initialled until the required source is selected, but this new technology performs the HDCP authorisation immediately upon connecting the device. Now when you change between HDMI connections on your television, the content will appear on screen in the same amount of time it takes to change the channel, yet another way in which Toshiba innovations are working to enhance and simplify your TV-watching experience.

Full Power Down
We have fitted an On/Off switch in response to the concerns expressed by many consumers who would prefer to turn their television off completely. All models are extremely energy efficient, but we take our responsibility to the environment seriously and will always do everything we can to minimise the impact our products have on our surroundings.

Digital TV
Between now and the end of 2012 the UK will be turning off all old “analogue” TV transmitters and switching your TV signal to “digital”. When the digital switch happens in your area, your older analogue TVs will no longer be able to pick up a signal. To keep your normal TV service running, you will need to convert your TVs to digital before your area’s switchover date.

Switching your home to digital is easy. All you need to do is purchase digital tuner and connect it to your analogue TV or alternatively, you can replace it with a new digital TV.

All Toshiba televisions carry the Digital Tick and come with Freeview built-in, making them the ideal option for preparing your home for the digital switch.

Toshiba 635DB 42 12 Feb 2010
The LCD TV is an absolute brilliant piece of kit. The picture quality is the best I have ever seen and the older programmes almost look like they are being played in HD. The sound is very effective and you don't get that boom blast when you change channels. A great buy and and gives a great all round Picture and sound. I have always been with with Toshiba and they have never let me down. Brilliant!

I owned a 40" Toshiba which developed a fault out of warranty, Called toshiba who immediately told me it was a known fault and gave me all details required to get comet to exchange it. Comet picked up the damaged one when they delivered this one as a replacement.

I had been a bit unsure when we chose it, but after Toshibas service, I wasn't going to go to another brand.

As soon as I hooked it up, I was stunned at the improvement over the previous unit (which I had been very happy with).
Sky HD looks razor sharp, and I've convinced a few people about HD off the back of the difference this makes.

The media player is handy and it has a good number of connections etc

Would definitely recommend.
