1080p Full HD CineSpeed LCD Display
Today’s highest resolution video content is 1920 x 1080 for over 2,000,000 pixels. A standard 720p HD display has less than 1,000,000 display pixels, and must discard half of the original video content, resulting in decreased picture detail. On the other hand, a 1080p Full HD Display has over 2,000,000 display pixels, maintaining the full video resolution and clarity. A CineSpeed display has an LCD Response Time of 8ms or less to ensure that the display is also fast enough for high quality home theater.
DynaLight Dynamic Backlight
The Toshiba RV525 utilizes advanced histogram image processing to monitor the brightness level of each video frame and automatically adjusts the backlight intensity based on the image content. This precise signal analysis allows for 256 levels of backlight control and can create a Dynamic Contrast that is 7 to 10 times greater than the original panel contrast. The result is a powerful picture with deep blacks for increased detail and incredible depth.
Built-In ATSC/NTSC/QAM Digital Tuning
Built-In ATSC/NTSC/QAM digital tuning allows for tuning of standard cable channels as well as off-air digital broadcasts, in addition to digital “cable-in-the-clear” broadcasts.
Gaming Mode
Gaming Mode enhances the gaming experience by reducing game controller delay. The Gaming Mode allows the video signal to bypass select picture circuitry to shorten the overall signal to screen time. This provides an approximate 33-millisecond response improvement for 60Hz models and 48-millisecond response improvement for 120Hz models, virtually eliminating controller delay.
High-Res PC Input (15-Pin D-Sub)
Perfect for the true PC gamer who likes a big screen, the Toshiba RV525 comes equipped with a 15-pin D-Sub connector to connect to your computer. In the world of the video game enthusiast, the better the view, the better the experience.
Color Temperature Control
Many Toshiba televisions provide three user-selectable Color Temperature settings that control the set’s overall white balance. The “Warm” setting reduces the color temperature to an NTSC standard 6500 degrees Kelvin and delivers a redder image that is ideal for display in a dimly lit room. “Medium” and “Cool” provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as room light levels are increased. The viewer can adjust white balance to achieve the best television picture possible in any viewing environment, or they can simply adjust the picture to suit their personal tastes.
TheaterWide Modes
Sets with TheaterWide modes are ideal for displaying HDTV signals as well as “enhanced for widescreen television” DVDs. The “TheaterWide 1: Letterboxed” image is digitally expanded 33% horizontally and vertically, which is useful for reproducing Academy Standard (1.85:1) formatted media. The “TheaterWide 2: Letterboxed” image is expanded 33% horizontally and 42% vertically, great for viewing narrow letterboxed images originally filmed in Panavision or CinemaScope. Finally, the “TheaterWide 3: Letterboxed” image is expanded 33% horizontally and 24% vertically. This can be utilized when displaying letterboxed images that incorporate narrow bands at the top and bottom of the picture.
Quality Audio
Toshiba’s thin-line speaker system with enhanced dynamic range yields big speaker sound in a slim cabinet, and QSound 3D gives you a room-filling surround sound effect. Mute and Half Mute features let you back off the volume when commercials come on or you need to concentrate on something else.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
 |
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
- Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
- Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5
