Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy the space-saving convenience and rich picture quality of Toshiba's compact, 14-inch SD-P4000 LCD television and DVD player combination. The set features a perfectly flat liquid-crystal display with 640 x 480 native pixel resolution and a built-in, slot-loading, progressive-scan DVD drive capable of playing not just movies but homemade DVD-R, VCD, and recordable CDs loaded with MP3 and WMA music files and JPEG images (digital photos).

This is an EDTV set, which means it's a step closer to high-definition or HDTV than standard TVs. Progressive scanning, referred to as 480p for the number of horizontal lines that compose the video image, creates a picture using twice the scan lines of a conventional DVD picture, giving you higher resolution and sharper images while eliminating nearly all motion artifacts.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (with no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts.

The SD-P4000's 3-line comb filter enhances 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).

The SD-P4000 also includes Toshiba's Digital Cinema Progressive feature, which performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal. DVD mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; reverse 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

A component-video input grants optimum connection with digital satellite receivers and many digital video recorders, while standard composite- and S-video inputs accommodate most other video gear (including camcorders). A coaxial RF video/antenna input also accepts feeds from older VCRs and cable boxes, while a headphone jack permits private or late-night listening.

The set also offers closed-caption display, V-Chip parental control, a sleep timer, and a remote control that operates both the TV and the DVD player.

This review is from: Toshiba SD-P4000 14-Inch Flat-Panel LCD TV with Built-In DVD Player (Electronics)

Purhcased this 29-Nov-2004. Retruned it 30-Nov-2004. Text was fuzzy , Pixelation issues. Bought it as an open item got a great deal. Even the DVD's did not seem that clear. Might have been a defective unit - but completley unacceptable for my set up (Satellite receiver with Monster S-Video high end cable).

Purhcased a SHARP LC-20B6U-S instead. While the SHARP was twice the price it is 100 times better.
