Toshiba claims that the new Cinespeed processor is less than 6 milliseconds in response time and we believe it after seeing the processor of this TV in action. It gets rid of moire', patterns, and judder immediately with the Clearframe 120Hz turned on. The HD picture quality color rendition is very accurate and not over-saturated. There is a very good balance between light throughput and color saturation.
The picture does not offer the depth that some of the best clear coat screens can offer. But side viewing angles were better than most LCD TVs. In fact, it was better on the SL412 than on the SL417. However, the picture has more motion artifacts and pixelating in the background. Dark shadow detail is pretty solid if you increase the Brightness setting on the TV to 4. Doing so will allow you to see some background light uniformity issues in the screen, but I didnt find it distracting. It was worth the tradeoff to see more detail in dark scenes. Otherwise, dark areas of the picture can become a black blob.
Features: The 120Hz enabled frame rate conversion on the SL412 works much more smoothly than most of the TVs we've reviewed with a similar feature. In the end though, it does eliminate some designed background blur from some programming so we recommend leaving it off unless watching sports programming. It works better with HD programming than standard definition shows. A simple switch to the Standard or Sports picture modes via the Quick button on the remote will reset the TVs picture. The TVs inbuilt processor is fast enough to eliminate most motion artifacts and motion lag without having to use the ClearFrame feature.
Video Aspect Ratio Sizing: The diminutive Pic Size key at the bottom of the remote controls the TVs aspect ratio options. The Full option will cover most of your needs.
Inputs: 4 HDMI, 1 Component, 1 Composite, PC 15 pin D-sub, Coaxial composite.
