Toshiba's lineup of LCD TV sets includes a very large number of models, most of them delivering certain advanced display options, but, unfortunately, at some pretty high price tags. And that's exactly the case with the device you're about to see as follows, namely the Toshiba REGZA 52HL167, released in the second half of 2007, which offers a complete set of display features, as well as several other useful extras on the side.



Since the display itself is the main selling point of any LCD TV set, Toshiba's 52-inches has been equipped with a ColorBurst wide color gamut LCD panel, which expands the number of available colors and improves the color accuracy. ColorBurst technology utilizes enhanced CCFL back-light technology to expand the color range to 90%+, thus significantly improving both color purity and color saturation, and combined with superior processing and a superior back-light, creates colors that are vibrant and natural.



Additionally, the device features a DynaLight dynamic back light control system, which monitors the brightness level of each video frame and automatically adjusts the backlight intensity based on the image content. Precise signal analysis affords 256 levels of backlight intensity, which creates dynamic contrast up to 5X that of the original panel contrast, resulting in a deeper black level that increases detail and depth, even in low light environments.



Moreover, the device is built around PixelPure 3G 14-Bit Internal Digital Video Processing, an advanced third-generation digital video processing system capable of producing 4,096 levels of gradation for a smooth, natural-looking picture without image banding.



The audio-related features provided by this particular REGZA model are also quite impressive, including here the SoundStrip 2 Speaker System, which offers SRS WOW compatibility, Dolby Digital Sound (AC-3), Dolby Digital Dynamic Range Control, StableSound, with an overall wattage of 20 W.



Furthermore, Toshiba's LCD comes packed with a very wide array of connectivity options, including here HDMI, CE-LINK, PC Input, Component, A/V and Ethernet (RJ-45), which can be used for connecting numerous playback devices.



The Toshiba REGZA 52HL167 can be found at several retailers for around 1,700 – 3,200 US dollars, which is not that bad a price, taking into account the features and specs it can provide.
