Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy vivid, high-contrast pictures from Toshiba's 36-inch FST PURE flat picture tube. Affordable, stylish, and loaded with features, the 36AF43 makes a great upgrade to a DVD or satellite-based home theater. The set's massive FST PURE flat tube eliminates intrusive reflections from ambient light relative to conventional CRT designs and broadens the angles from which the screen may be viewed.

The 36AF43's three-line digital comb filter and vertical contour correction further enhance resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). Meanwhile, 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.

Color Temperature Control (Warm, Medium, Cool) makes it easy to adjust the set's white balance to achieve the best picture possible, regardless of room lighting. Four factory-set picture-preference modes include sports (bright and dynamic picture), movie (a movie-like picture setting), and memory (user-selectable settings).

The set provides stereo reception (with five watts per channel) and SAP (second audio program), which is often used to broadcast an alternate-language track. The 36AF43 derives a heightened sense of stereo separation from its double-baffle speaker system. A ColorStream component-video input provides the ultimate picture quality from interlaced component-video signals; standard composite-video inputs accommodate all DVD players and most other video sources.

You get three sets of rear AV inputs (both with S-video) as well as one set of front AV inputs for easy connection with a camcorder or gaming console. A rear AV output (with selectable fixed- or variable-level audio outputs) lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver. The 36AF43 also features V-Chip parental controls, a sleep timer, and a glow-in-the-dark universal remote control.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent TV for a first time flat tube tv buyer, December 7, 2003

This review is from: Toshiba 36AF43 36" Flat Screen TV (Electronics)

I bought this tv last week and so far the best part of this TV is the really crisp picture when I play a DVD. The movie is really clear and the 3-d effects in action setttings really make you feel like you are there in the movie. I watched 3 movies over the weekend and was pleased with how they all looked. The only thing that I found weird was there was this effect where if there were a deep red, like a stripe in someone's sweater, the stripe itself was "breathing" or moving. Not sure if it's a trick of the eye or what but it was a little distracting. Otherwise I like this TV so far and am pleased that for a black tube TV, it's not so black that everything looks like night time. I returned a Panasonic 32" TV two days after using it because it was too dark, regardless of how high I adjusted the settings. So far I am very pleased. Very heavy!
