Your Plasma TV and HDTV specialist

For years, Toshiba's Cinema Series models have been thoroughbreds among rear-projection TVs, but the 56MX195 surpasses everything they've built before. Framed by a high-gloss black bezel, the screen displays images with intense 3-D realism. You'll want to sit much closer than you probably ever have for a screen this big because there's just so much more to see. Inside, you'll find hot TV technologies.

For maximum clarity and detail, you get 1080p resolution using the 1920 x 1080-pixel DLP chip. Having achieved the highest resolution available, Toshiba's next step was optimizing picture brightness and contrast using two innovative approaches. First, a circuit samples the
brightness level of the video signal and regulates a "dynamic iris," opening and closing the aperture to achieve deeper blacks and higher contrast. It can reduce light output up to 75% when necessary. Also, Toshiba's Hi-Bright lamp is 25% brighter than their previous DLP models, creating brilliant images whether you're viewing at night or during the day.

The 56MX195 is a "Digital Cable Ready" TV, with built-in HD tuners for both over-the-air and cable TV signals (to take full advantage of the built-in cable tuner, ask your service provider about a CableCARD). To help you make the most of all your available programming, this model includes the subscription-free TV Guide On Screen
program guide. It simplifies sorting through and selecting programs to watch, as well as scheduling recordings to a separate VCR, DVR, or DVD recorder. In addition to a generous and flexible set of inputs for your audio/video components, the 56MX195 has a standard computer input and an Ethernet port that is the gateway to Toshiba's built-in networking capability. Simply connect your laptop PC and you can access MP3 files and digital photos stored on its hard drive using only the TV's remote.
