Toshiba provides a solid selection of HD-compatible video connections, including four HDMI (one side-mounted), two component video inputs, VGA, and an RF input that feeds the set’s combo analog/digital/cable tuner. The HDMI ports are compatible with the latest HDMI features, including CEC (consumer electronic control), which enables compatible connected devices to be controlled (through the HDMI connection) using the TV’s remote. In testing, this feature seemed to work best with other Toshiba-branded devices such as the HD-A30 HD DVD player.

The 42XV540U continues Toshiba’s tradition of high-value LCD HDTVs. It offers an eye-catching high-definition picture, plenty of connections for your A/V gear, and an attractive cabinet design at an equally attractive price. This set’s dual tuners pull in both analog and digital television broadcasts. And a "QAM" tuner lets cable TV subscribers watch unscrambled digital cable programs without the hassle of a set-top box.

Review By vanns

A faster frame rate isn’t the only amenity added to the 42XV540U for gamers (because gamers get overlooked by TV manufacturers too often). This set will display 1080p output PS3 games with the best possible picture. Even better than that, though, is the designated Gaming mode. In gaming terms, reacting too slowly can cost you your life. A slight lag between the controller and the screen, and your character can fall prey to a bullet from an enemy sniper, leaving you waiting to respawn. In Gaming mode, the 42XV540U gets rid of this lag, ensuring that your character reacts as fast as you do. Unfortunately, this means you’ll have no excuse for falling victim to an attack.

DynaLight™ Backlight Control utilizes advanced image processing to monitor the brightness of each video frame, and adjust the backlight intensity accordingly. This precision creates seamless transitions with deep blacks for increased detail and depth analysis.

Gaming Mode enhances the gaming experience by reducing the amount of time it takes for the signal to travel from the game controller to the TV.
