It features a widescreen picture aspect ratio (16:9; standard TVs have a 4:3 aspect ratio), which is the ideal screen format for viewing widescreen video from DVD players and the growing availability of broadcast programming off digital HDTV tuners (HD content is always widescreen), cable boxes and satellite receivers.
ColorStream Component Video inputs provide the highest possible picture quality from DVD players. By separating the video signal into component elements, hanging dots and artifacts are eliminated, color purity is unparalleled, and remarkable contrast levels are attained. PowerFocus Lens System is a high quality four-element lens system that is designed to maximize both sharpness and brightness. The light emitted from each CRT (red, green, and blue picture tubes) has different characteristics. The 3D digital comb filter helps reduce video noise by comparing each horizontal scanning line with the lines above and below and with the corresponding line on the previous subsequent video frames. To further improve the viewing experience, the 40H80 utilizes an Invar Shadow Mask--an alloy material used to attain better focus and brightness consistency--which ensures that image quality is maintained at all times.
The 40H80 has two built-in 14-watt speakers (for 28 watts of total power) and can provide virtual surround sound through these speakers. It features the following video and audio connections:
- Composite video/audio In: 1

Good sources was epinions.com and consumerreview.com. That research paid off. The moment I powered this baby on my wife and I were blown away by the picture quality from our crummy basic cable service. I settled on this size since its the largest screen that would be reasonable in an apartment without needing frequent eye drops. What particularly impressed me was the vivid image from this rear projection TV! A word of advice, if you plan to sit less than 7-8 feet away from this TV, expect eye strain due to the size of the screen. (Imagine sitting in the fifth row of a theater!) The UNIVERSAL remote is hugely useful. ( I have shelved all my other remotes). The remote has "Pic Size" button which you can easily use to toggle various screen modes (4:3 TV, 16:9 wide screen with non-uniform stretch, 16:9 with uniform stretch). Even in the non-uniform stretch mode you have 3...Read more 23 of 28 people found the following review helpful:  Toshiba does not care about their customers, By This review is from: Toshiba 40H80 40-Inch HDTV-Ready Projection TV (Electronics) I placed an order for a Toshiba 40H80 on July 8th and my television arrived just a few days later on July 12th. There was no physical damage to the box, but after opening it and plugging it in the TV would not turn on. Although the television never worked Toshiba said they do not have a policy of replacing products. They will only repair a defective item. I called every authorized service center in my area (one was on vacation) and the other two were both working on another Toshiba widescreen HDTV doing the same thing as mine (power light comes on solid for a few seconds and then blinks - no sound, no picture)and could not figure out what the problem was. My television could not be picked up by a service center until July 23rd at which point the technician told me that based on his experiences dealing with Toshiba it would be optimistic of me to hope my TV would be back in my home, working, in two weeks. Still, regardless of the fact that my TV never worked and should not be...Read more 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Don't believe bad reviews, those people are lame., By "gcampbell35" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Toshiba 40H80 40-Inch HDTV-Ready Projection TV (Electronics) Ok, I know that the title is harsh and I don't intend to be mean, but if these people have problems with the picture they must be lame. I have had my 40H80 for over 2 years and it has been absolutely flawless. The most critical thing with any RP set is to converge the colors and set up the tv properly. After the initial convergence was done the set held a perfect picture. Only after I had to move the set did the picture need to be re-adjusted. My buddies Mitsubishi needs converging every couple of weeks. The Toshiba filters and mirror assemblies are the highest quality available for a set under $6k. I have a High Def DirecTV set up and when tuned to HDNet or the PBS HiDef feeds every single person who has seen it is blown away. Even my buddy who has the top of the line Mitsubishi projection admits that the true color and viewing angle are better with the Toshiba. I cannot recommend this set enough. There are no weaknesses with the Toshiba. If you do not...Read more |
