Toshiba’s Regza line of TVs marry state-of-the-art technology to hip design. One feature that sets them apart is PixelPure 14-bit digital video processing, which creates more than 4,000 levels of color gradations for a smooth, natural-looking picture without posterization or image banding. Another benefit is a fast response time. Response time is the interval an LCD screen takes to from its darkest color to its lightest color and back again, measured in milliseconds (ms). This screen’s response time is 8 ms, which is at the faster and better end of the spectrum. This screen is likely to display cleaner, sharper images during high-action scenes and with fewer image artifacts than other screens in its class. This technology is housed in a black gloss cabinetry that is sure to fit well with most any decor. The 42HL167 has a panel resolution of 1920x 1080 pixels. This qualifies it as a 1080 progressive-line (1080p) HDTV, which is a the highest-quality picture available. The “p” stands for “progressive.” 1080p is better in quality compared to 1080i. Further, the 16:9 wide screen aspect ratio on this set delivers most movies the way they were meant to be seen in the theater, without back bars wasting the top and bottom of the screen.
