01 Jan 2007

Meet the New Year with Toshiba 42HP66 42″ Plasma HDTV from Amazon.com (shipped for free, too). Step into the future with the 42-inch Toshiba 42HP66 plasma screen HDTV, which features a stylishly contemporary black cabinet and space-saving bottom mounted speaker system.The set’s built-in ATSC (DTV) tuner pulls HD signals (480p/720p/1080i) right from the airwaves, and its QAM tuner is fully compatible with unscrambled HDTV cable reception. A standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming. It comes with a tabletop stand that can be removed for wall mounting (with optional hardware). The 42HP66 has a 1024 x 768-pixel resolution (XGA), a peak 1200 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and an amazing 8000:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV’s ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.)
