The user can also connect a PC using its PC IN or HDMI connection.

Features

For vibrant, crisp, natural and life-like viewing experience, Toshiba 52XV545U implements several video enhancements. It uses wide color gamut display and Pixel-pure 4th generation video processor.

It also produces 4,096 levels of gradation with greater depth and detail.
