Product description from manufacturer
This is not just a television. It's Toshiba Cinema Series. 42HDX82 Cinema Series television uses the latest technology advances to deliver unmatched picture quality, powerful audio, along with unique convenience features. Improved IDSC Pro allows the TV to accept and display both progressive scan and HD video signals, including 720p. IDSC Pro utilizes line doubling, frame doubling, pixel doubling, and double sampling for the best possible progressive scan images. IDSC Pro creates a single, no compromise, focus point from any signal for a consistently sharper image. Designed to optimize poor NTSC signals from antenna or cable, CableClear DNR - a new video noise reduction system - eliminates video noise ("snow") for a clean, crisp image. SRS WOW - the combination of three signal processing circuits creates a wide three-dimensional sound field from two speakers (SRS 3D), boosts bass frequency perception (TruBass), and raises the sound image vertically to create clearer, more vivid audio (FOCUS). QuickConnect - an on-screen set-up guide - automatically appears the first time a set is powered up, or it may be accessed through the regular OSD menu. QuickConnect acts as set-up wizard, helping consumers with connection of an antenna or cable box as well as performing initial channel scan, picture preference and other set-up features.
