Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy vivid, high-contrast pictures from Toshiba's 36-inch FST PURE flat television. Affordable, stylish, and loaded with features, the 36AF62 makes a great upgrade to a DVD or satellite-based home theater. The set's massive FST PURE ("flatter square tube") tube eliminates intrusive reflections from ambient light relative to conventional CRT designs and broadens the angles from which the screen may be viewed, and Toshiba's Dynamic Quadruple Focus ensures precise resolution from corner to corner.

The 36AF62'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.

Two other technologies--black-level expander and color-temperature control--work with brightness levels to enhance image quality. Black-level expansion improves contrast (which results in a sharper, more three-dimensional picture), while Color Temperature Control (Warm, Medium, Cool) gives you the ability to easily adjust the set's white balance to achieve the best picture possible, regardless of room lighting.

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 36AF62 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.

Dual-tuner multi-window PIP lets you view two channels at once without the use of a VCR as a second source. Multi-window functionality lets you scan through all the channels via six small boxes along the bottom of the screen.

You get two 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 lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver. The 36AF62 also features color-temperature control, V-chip parental controls, a sleep timer, and an illuminated remote control.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great for 3 months, now it doesn't work, August 22, 2002

By A Customer

This tv has a great picture, and looked like an incredible buy. However after about 3 months, the TV gives off a high pitched whine after 30 minutes - 1 hour after being turned on.

I've had 2 service calls, and they can't fix the problem...

Should have bought a Sony

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great TV!, April 28, 2003

By A Customer

I did alot of research on TVs before buying this one. The only weak spot this TV has is no volume leveler and that's it. I've had mine for about a year and I'm very, very happy with its performance. For the money, there isn't a better TV out there!
