Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The Toshiba 50A60 TheaterView projection TV brings superb sound and video quality with cutting-edge features right into your home. The 50A60 sports a 50-inch, TheaterBright screen with a 160-degree horizontal viewing angle, three-line digital comb filter, a 16:9 aspect ratio, and 800 lines of horizontal image resolution for an incredibly clear and sharp picture. Standard features on this TV include the PowerFocus lens system with multilinear digital focus, which lets you adjust nine distinct areas on the screen. The result is virtually perfect, corner-to-corner convergence for the best possible focus and superior picture quality.

Home-theater enthusiasts will especially enjoy the added features such as dual-tuner picture-in-picture (check on the hockey score while watching the football game), color temperature control (warm/medium/cool), and advanced velocity scan modulation. The 50A60 even includes such detailed controls as flesh tone correction and color detail enhancer for the most brilliant and distinct colors under almost any viewing conditions.

Audio features include a dual-cone speaker system with surround sound and sub-bass system for bass boost. The TV outputs 28 watts of audio and includes variable audio outputs, so you can control the sound from an external amplifier. An MTS (Multi-channel Television Sound) decoder enables the television to accept and decode a broadcast stereo signal. Unlike some systems that delete dbx, MTS provides the full quality of the original stereo broadcast. AP (Secondary Audio Program) enables reception of bilingual broadcasts.

Connectability is a big advantage of the 50A60. It features ColorStream component video inputs, allowing for the best possible connection to your DVD player. Front panel A/V inputs (along with two rear A/V inputs) are convenient for direct hookups with your camcorder or an extra VCR, and the front and rear S-video inputs give you additional options for getting the best out of your components. The important variable audio and center channel audio inputs ensure that your TV will fit in with your existing home-theater audio system, or they will give you the connectivity options you want as you start to build a new system.

To complete the picture and make operation as easy as possible, a universal glow remote control is included so you can easily change channels, adjust audio properties, and set menu options, even in the dark.

The Toshiba 50A60 50-inch TheaterView Projection TV comes with a warranty that covers one year on parts and labor, two years on the picture tube.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very GOOD Projection TV, January 13, 2001

This review is from: Toshiba 50A60 50-Inch TheaterView Projection TV (Electronics)

This is an excellent Projection TV in the 4 by 3 aspect ratio. Don't pass this one up! Manufacturers are moving toward the 16 by 9 aspect ratio. For conventional TV and VHS playback this is the best Projection set available. Get them while they are still around. Many people going with the 16 by 9 sets are not happy because there are very few HD signals out there at least for the next 4 years. 4 by 3 is the way to go right now. This set has a 'S' input so you can get up to 400 lines with an S-VHS VCR. The picture will look excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for the price!!!, February 4, 2001

This review is from: Toshiba 50A60 50-Inch TheaterView Projection TV (Electronics)

This t.v. surpassed my expectations. I wasn't sure the picture would be all that great do to the fact that you usually get what you pay for. But, to my amazement, this t.v. surprised me. We put it in the living room and only use it for DVD, VHS and Video game use. We hooked up a 5.1 Pioneer Elite Digital/DTS receiver with Polk Audio speakers and WOW, perfect home theater (heck, I could've bought 2 of these t.v.'s for the price of my receiver and speakers alone). The anti-glare screen really works well due to the fact that our living room is very bright. For the price, I think I got one heck of a deal!!! This t.v. really gives you more bank for your buck.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad deal., January 21, 2001

This review is from: Toshiba 50A60 50-Inch TheaterView Projection TV (Electronics)

This projection TV is good but not great. PiP setting is a little difficult (probably happen to all PiP function TVs).

Sound is very good, but not great too, 28W plus 5.25 inches speakers sounds loud, especially for bass. And matrix sounds works very well. But human voice volume sometimes too low.

The last thing I need to mention is this TV's speakers can be used as central channel speakers for 5.1 channel DVD movie and you control it's volume through receiver. Although quality is not great, but It will make home theatre looks nice without an extra speaker on the top of the TV. But the in order to use it you have to turn the physical switch on the back panel of the TV, why they don't put it on remote control?
