Toshiba REGZA 42ZV650U 42-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV with ClearScan 240 features a number of technological advances in both audio and video to make the most of your home theater experience. Fans of sports, video games, and fast-paced action movies will be wowed by the ClearScan 240 advanced frame rate technology, which greatly improves on previous 120Hz LCD panels for fluid, natural motion. The amazing high-definition picture is powered by the new PixelPure 5G 14-bit video processor, and the set includes Dolby Volume technology for a consistent audio level when changing the channel or when a program switches to commercial.
Toshiba is taking fast motion picture quality one step further with ClearScan 240. ClearScan 240 combines an advanced 120Hz scan rate with Toshibas new Backlight Scanning technology to create a 240Hz effect. This innovative solution improves picture clarity making action-packed movies and sports more crisp and clear than ever before. Compared to standard 60Hz, or even standard 120Hz systems, this new technology provides significantly clearer full motion video for a better home theater experience.
The heart of this Toshiba REGZA HDTV is the processing power of Toshiba’s fifth generation engine, PixelPure 5G. With a 14-bit internal digital video processor, gradation is increased, creating smoother, clearer images. Ongoing enhancements like the new 2D Chroma enhancement, 2D Luma enhancement, dynamic sharpness and adaptive noise reduction mean that PixelPure continues to lead in processing technology.
With more and more content available from the Internet, Toshiba’s ZV650 lineup makes it easy to play downloaded movies and TV shows without an external content player. With the USB port, you can view your JPEG pictures, listen to MP3 audio, watch MPEG-1 & 2 video and even watch DivX Video–all done through a USB hard drive (or even a USB thumb flash drive). There is also an SD Card Slot that allows easy viewing of JPEG digital pictures by simply taking the memory card from the camera and placing it in the TV.
Helpful consumer’s review
This tv provides very good features for the price, HD viewing is excellent, out of the box picture quality settings are good, sound is surely better compared to other lcd’s, I haven’t tried gaming yet, but connected the PC to it and the quality was still good. No clouding, flashlighting and watched sports without any motion blur. The bezel looks good and the screen can be considered shiny but definitely not more than the sammy ones. At night with all the lights out the movies are awesome, black levels look good to me but I am no expert. As the other reviewer said, it is comparable to the b650 and you should take a look at this before you select any other new panels.
