Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Toshiba's 57H84 HDTV-ready projection TV is well equipped to make the most of your high-end digital and analog source components. The 57-inch set is as loaded with image technologies as it is with connections and conveniences, thereby simplifying your home-theater experience while also enriching it.

The 57H84's exclusive PowerFocus HD lens system was designed specifically for HDTV programming. Most lens systems cannot faithfully reproduce a high-definition signal. PowerFocus HD uses six elements and a quality color-correction system to produce an image that is up to 65 percent sharper than an image produced by standard lens systems. The PowerFocus HD's higher beam current and finer beam spot provide a 30 percent increase in sharpness and a 10 percent increase in brightness over standard CRTs. Toshiba's four-element PowerFocus HC lenses offer 50 percent higher contrast than comparable 5-element lenses, giving you clear, deep, three-dimensional images.

The set's TheaterFine HD super fine-pitch screen uses a .52 mm design to reduce the space between lines on the lenticular screen, which sharpens the image. And since not everything you watch will be high-definition in origin (wouldn't that be nice), CrystalScan HDSC upconverts all video signals (including 480i/p) to 1080i HD. This significantly reduces jagged-line artifacts for a smoother, more natural image. (Selectable 540p, for those who want a progressive-scan image from a progressive-scan source, is available through the onscreen menu.) CableClear DNR+ Digital Noise Reduction circuitry--selectable by input--optimizes poor NTSC signals from antenna or cable by eliminating video noise (snow).

Meanwhile, DFine high-speed velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.

A 3D Y/C (4 MB, 10-bit) digital comb filter with Vertical Contour Correction processes RF and composite-video signals for a sharp, clean picture. This advanced filter significantly reduces detail noise, seen as shimmering or flicker, in complex or intricate scenes. The TouchFocus digital convergence system (which creates perfect corner-to-corner focus at the press of a button) and AccuFocus 56-point manual convergence system let you choose the best calibration method for your system.

The 57H84 is loaded with connections of all stripes, including a HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) HDTV input, which gives you a pure, uncompressed video connection with your DTV receiver or set-top box (not included). HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multichannel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

For audio, the 57H84 offers SRS WOW, combining SRS 3D (which creates a wide three-dimensional sound field), TruBass (which boosts bass frequency perception for dramatic low-frequency effects), and Focus (which raises the perceived sound image vertically to clarify voices) to greatly enhance your home-theater sound.

The set's split-cabinet design allows the cabinet to be divided for ease of delivery and installation.

5 out of 5 stars Best Value for the Price.......2006-06-12

I bought this TV from a local electronics store. Seeing as it is a 2004 model, the salesman gave me a GREAT deal. About $600 less than I've seen it online. For the money, it can't be beat. The picture quality is very good, especially with Discovery HD Theater and my Xbox 360. Setup was easy, plenty of inputs for all my electronics. Really, the only complaint I have is that the remote with the TV doesn't work with my DirecTV HD Receiver, and the DirecTV remote doesn't have codes for the TV. Go figure. But if that's all I have to complain about, then I'm pretty pleased.

1 out of 5 stars disappointed.......2005-09-19

this product is getting returned right now due to a defect. amazon did nothing for me with regards to my problem and toshiba took weeks to get things straight. now they are coming to pick up my tv because i was given the ultimadum of a refurb or a refund. i chose the refund. tomorrow is the 19th of september and i purchase the tv on the 19th of august. i never got to watch a program on my tv and i will be glad to be done with the whole situation.

5 out of 5 stars Delivery and Defect Problems Resolved.......2005-03-11

I ordered this product on Febr. 24th and it was delivered to my home on March 2nd. The TV was unpackaged in the truck and carried just into the door of my home. It was not turned on and inspected as promised in the Amazon shipping information. My son signed for the delivery as I was out of town. Upon my return, I noticed there had been delivery damage. The fabric on the bottom of the speaker grill was scaped and torn when the TV had been dragged over the sliding-door jam. Also, the TV had a manufacturer defect with a fixed black spot on the screen.

When I contacted Amazon (via email), they initially said too bad--the TV had been signed for. I contacted the delivery company and they said they would be responsible for the damage even if Amazon does not cooperate with the claim. Through either my followup email with Amazon or the persistency of the delivery company, I was shipped a new TV so the problem was resolved with a little persistency. By the way, if you want to talk to Amazon, the phone number is 800-201-7575.

I also asked Amazon to not penalize my early purchase by honoring the $100 gift certificate promotion that started Febr 28th. Afterall, most companies have a 30 day low price guarantee. Again, I was told "too bad" by Amazon. Amazon does have a 30 day low price guarantee, but promotions are considered outside of the guarantee.

I contacted Toshiba about the defect and I was given the name of a local authorized service center. The TV was promptly repaired by removing a small speck of plastic from the lens, problably dislodged when a cabinet screw was installed. The service person said that he rarely works on Toshiba TV's as they are very reliable.

Apart from the delivery damage, the product is excellent, despite the old technology. Adequate space and a wide viewing angle are not issues with my location of this TV, so I went with the proven technology, longer expected product life and much lower price tag. I still have an analog cable signal, so a high definition TV accentuates flaws in the signal. Like all rear projection TV's, the blacks are not as intense and the picture suffers when viewed at wide angles. I will not be able to fully appreciate this product until I have a HD signal. But, cartoons, video games, and DVD's are really cool.

Prior to purchasing this TV, I tried to read a lot about the various technologies and I found the Crutchfield website to be one of the most informative about HDTV. Crutchfield does not sell this old technology. I also looked at other various on-line dealers. Beware of both delivery AND shipping charges. Frequently, prices are quoted without including both charges so the ultimate price is not disclosed until very late in the purchasing process.

I was hesitant about making such a large purchase through a mail order vendor because Amazon does not have the best reputation when it comes to problem resolution. However, I did have a good outcome with a little persistency.




5 out of 5 stars Good as it gets!.......2004-10-13

This Toshiba projection TV was the best that I found. Nice picture and great sound. The TouchFocus set the conversion just right. It has plenty of inputs of different types. I was a little surprised that it had no digital audio inputs however. I would have expected to find an optical audio or coaxial audio input. However since I was running my audio though a surround sound system as well as the TV, it was no big deal. There is HDMI input instead of the more standard DVI interface. You have to buy a $129 converter cable to use it. The DVI cable is close to the same price.

The menu driven interface is easy to use and setup was a breeze. I got it the same day I received the new Star Wars box set from Amazon. I really love it. The main thing that I was a little disappointed with was the thick scan lines. They're really noticeable on a dark screen. Not too bad but it may take a while to get use to it.

5 out of 5 stars Disapponted with shipping times.......2004-09-10

I am very much pleased with the quality of the product. The price was a very competive one, the shipping quote was reasonable. I do however have a problem with the (11)days its gonna take to get to my address. I ordered the item on the 3rd of September, and according to the delivery company affiliated with Amazon(Eagle Delivery) its not gonna arrive until the 14th. Other than that I believe my purchase with Amazon was a quality one. I am however quite excited about experiencing High Definition TV on my new Toshiba 57h84(Whenever it gets here). I am so upset with the shipping company that I will not order any more big screen tv's from amazon. The shipping company blames amazon for inadequate information on the track shipment page, saying their estimates are wrong. I dont, wont, and will not seek to use Eagle shipping Company any more, because I dont understand how a shipment coming from Harrisburg, PA, can get to NC, and end up in Charlotte, completely bypassing the destination address in Greensboro. I am so disappointed to the point of being sick. Amazon needs to invest in another shipping company, or they are gonna lose customers.
