For a great deal on a reliable, well-built HDTV, skip the no-name brands and choose Toshiba's 42AV500U. Every Toshiba flat-panel TV starts with a CineSpeed™ LCD panel, which consistently receives high marks from reviewers for smooth motion handling and wide viewing angles. The glossy black bezel adds a touch of elegance that's unexpected in this price range.

Crisp, clear HD reception is only the beginning
The 42AV500U gives you so many ways to enjoy a great picture. Its built-in tuners pull in all types of local over-the-air broadcasts, from ordinary analog to digital high-definition (antenna required). And a built-in "QAM" tuner lets cable TV subscribers watch unscrambled channels — including local network HD channels — without the added hassle and expense of a set-top box.

All your video sources receive the star treatment
Toshiba's video processing circuitry does a great job of cleaning up analog TV broadcasts and signals from other non-HD sources like a VCR. Also, the DynaLight dynamic backlight control monitors the brightness level of each video frame and automatically adjusts backlight intensity to maximize picture contrast.

Versatile, future-ready connections
The 42AV500U's audio/video connections include two HDMI digital inputs for connecting the growing number of HDMI-equipped components (Blu-ray players, HD cable and satellite receivers, etc.). A standard computer input makes it easy to connect your laptop PC so you can have a bigger view for working, gaming or web-surfing.
