With its Movie 1 mode and 0 Color Temperature setting selected, the Toshiba's grayscale tracked evenly but slightly blue of the 6,500-K standard for most of its range. After calibration with the Expert Menu's 10-point White Balance control, the set measured ±43K from 30 to 100 IRE. Primary colors accurately matched the HDTV spec, and the color decoder initially showed only a +5% error for red before being zeroed out using the set's ColorMaster controls. Overscan measured 3% in the Full mode and 0% in the pixel-for-pixel Native mode. The Toshiba resolved static 1080i/p and 720p HD signals via its HDMI and component-video inputs.

Full-frame gray test patterns revealed mild backlight "hot spotting" in the darkest windows, although this wasn't an issue with program material. The screen displayed a wide, 120º viewing angle and did an average job of rejecting glare from its glossy surface. The set passed our tests for deinterlacing high- and standard-def signals, though it failed film-resolution and cadence tests when its Film Stabilization function was turned off. Unfortunately, turning this feature on imparts a "video look" to film-based content, though it was very subtle in its most mild Standard setting.
