Toshiba 36SW9UA (HD)

36SW9UA Digital Hyper - Toshiba's proprietary technology - has the
ability to convert all input signals into high-resolution signals.
Horizontal pixels can reach upto 1931 lines while vertical scanning
can achieve 1152 lines (based on 576i/576p input signal). To
supplement the High Definition conversion, 36SW9UA also realizes 3 new
technologies, namely the Digital Hyper Signal Processing System,
Diagonal Line Improvement System, and New Fine Cinema Mode. The
built-in card slot (for digital camera SD-Card and Smart Media Card)

The real question is not whether the set will accept a
720p signal and display it; the specs make it clear
that it will.

The question is whether teh set in fact actually
has the ability to display a true progressive picture.

It certainly does not for 1080i or 720p source; no current
CRT set does so.

The question is whether it can display a 576@50 or 60p source as
true 576p scanning. A 1080i capable set is physically capable
of doing it. But whether it actually will is not clear from the specs.

It is also not clear whether it can do some sort of trickery
to get rid of the horrible flicker inherent in a true 50 Hz source,
and, if it does, whether the results will look OK or suffer
disastrous conversion artfacts.
