The 72MX196 sits at the top
of Toshiba's impressive Cinema Series line.
Sure, it's big — the screen measures a
full six feet diagonally — but that's
not the whole story. Creating realistic images
on a screen this size requires outstanding resolution,
color, and brightness, and the 72MX196 delivers
on all three. If you've been looking at front
projector systems for your home theater, here's
an all-in-one alternative that offers similar
viewing excitement with more convenient setup
and everyday use.
1080p
resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels) is the gold
standard for HDTVs, and the 72MX196 has it,
but high resolution is only one ingredient for
a great looking picture. The ability to optimize
picture contrast and color is essential, too.
Toshiba employs a circuit which 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, fine-tuning black level scene
by scene. Toshiba's color management system
permits individual control of hue, saturation,
and brightness for 64 colors.
This "Digital Cable Ready"
TV has built-in tuners for over-the-air and
cable digital TV. To make full use of the set's
cable tuner, ask your local service provider
about a CableCARD. This "smart card"
goes in the dedicated slot in the TV's back
panel and replaces your set-top cable box. Using
a CableCARD will simplify your hookup and operation
and usually provides a clearer picture. Navigating
among your broadcast and cable channels is easy
thanks to the included TV Guide On Screen program
guide. The color-coded grid makes it a snap
to sort through programs for viewing or scheduling
recordings to your VCR, DVR, or DVD recorder.
Cinema
Series big-screens feature a flexible and future-ready
set of audio/video connections. In addition
to two component video inputs, you'll find two
HDMI digital inputs (HDMI is quickly becoming
the must-have connection for high-definition
video). In addition to a standard PC input,
this set has an Ethernet jack that lets you
access an existing home network and check out
your library of JPEG and MP3 files using only
the TV's remote.
