Product Description

A huge picture and beautiful styling are important, but equally so are the refinements within the set that you only see when you experience its incredible picture. Toshiba's 65-inch widescreen, HDTV-ready 65H84 is a projection television that's well equipped to make the most of your high-end digital and analog source components.

The 65H84's exclusive PowerFocus HD lens system was designed specifically for HDTV programming. Most lens systems cannot faithfully reproduce a high-definition signal. PowerFocus HD uses six elements and a quality color-correction system to produce an image that is up to 65 percent sharper than an image produced by standard lens systems. The PowerFocus HD's higher beam current and finer beam spot provide a 30 percent increase in sharpness and a 10 percent increase in brightness over standard CRTs. Toshiba's four-element PowerFocus HC lenses offer 50 percent higher contrast than comparable 5-element lenses, giving you clear, deep, three-dimensional images.

The set's TheaterFine HD super fine-pitch screen uses a .52 mm design to reduce the space between lines on the lenticular screen, thereby sharpening the image. And since not everything you watch will be high-definition in origin (wouldn't that be nice), CrystalScan HDSC upconverts all video signals (including 480i/p) to 1080i HD. This significantly reduces jagged-line artifacts for a smoother, more natural image. (Selectable 540p, for those who want a progressive-scan image from a progressive-scan source, is available through the onscreen menu.) CableClear DNR+ Digital Noise Reduction circuitry--selectable by input--optimizes poor NTSC signals from antenna or cable by eliminating video noise (snow).

Meanwhile, DFine high-speed velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.

A 3D Y/C (4 MB, 10-bit) digital comb filter with Vertical Contour Correction processes RF and composite-video signals for a sharp, clean picture. This advanced filter significantly reduces detail noise, seen as shimmering or flicker, in complex or intricate scenes. The TouchFocus digital convergence system (which creates perfect corner-to-corner focus at the press of a button) and AccuFocus 56-point manual convergence system let you choose the best calibration method for your system.

The 65H84 is loaded with connections of all stripes, including a HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) HDTV input, which gives you a pure, uncompressed video connection with your DTV receiver or set-top box (not included). HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

For audio, the 65H84 offers SRS WOW, combining SRS 3D (which creates a wide three-dimensional sound field), TruBass (which boosts bass frequency perception for dramatic low-frequency effects), and Focus (which raises the perceived sound image vertically to clarify voices) to greatly enhance your home-theater sound.

The set's split-cabinet design allows the cabinet to be divided for ease of delivery and installation.

The BEST

This tv is the best. We love it and have nothing bad to say about it!
Very Impressed

I've had this set for over two years. The picture is beautiful with DirectTV HD. I play it around six hours a day and no problems. If I had waited I could have bought it for half the price I paid for it. 65 inches and a beautiful picture for way under $2000.
Not bad
 
Review Date: October 31, 2005
Reviewer: Patenteux,
Inputs:
It's a big TV, and has lots of inputs. The single HDMI input is a weakness of this set, as there are warnings not to use it with a computer. The 65H94 model has even more inputs, such as Firewire (IEEE 1394).

Screen:
The image is beautiful, but the screen protector has a lot of glare, enough that we have to put shades on the windows. Convergence had to be adjusted; it is fairly easy (it's digital) but takes patience (there are a lot of adjustment points, and you have to do red horizontal, vertical, and blue horizontal and vertical).

Video modes:
The natural mode results in grey areas, which the manual warns can result in burn-in. The other modes clip part of the picture. The only mode that doesn't, distorts the image (proportions are not kept). I wish there had been a mode that filled the screen as much as possible without distorting the image (even if a little of grey showed up).

Sound:
The sound is surprisingly good (especially for a single driver on each side) and has a lot of bass on the "low" option.


Note that the top of the TV isn't flat, there is no place to put stuff on. My previous TV top could hold the VCR, DVD player, etc..., but not this one.

Overall, a good value.
Amazon's order is terrible

I will say that do not order any big item such as this TV from Amazon. Once your order, you can not return or cancel. Second day after my order, I decided to cancel the order. I was told that I could not cancel it but I can refuse the shipment. Guess what, after I told the shipping company that, Amazon asked me to pay for the shipping twice. Besides Amazon's price not being competitive, the customer support is lacking all the help you can get. Do not order any Projection TV from Amazon, unless you are planning to cancel or change your mind. It is a terrible web experience. I will not order it again from Amazon.
