I just bought mine 1 week ago, but spent countless hours doing my research (that is how I found this board).
Here is some stuff that influenced me (taken from the various Toshiba sites US, Canada, Europe) and is a cut and paste that I did... So again...if it sounds like toshiba's party line...it IS...i cut and paste this stuff when doing my research.
Qosmio Screen
The TruBrite LCD uses two lamps to sidelight the display.
When the unit is operating off the internal battery, the
TruBrite display is capable of a maximum brightness of 500
cd/m2 for the Qosmio G20 When connected to an external
AC source, the maximum brightness increases to an
astounding 500 cd/m2 brightness level for the G20. To put
this in perspective, notebook displays typically have a
brightness of about 150 cd/m2, while televisions have a
brightness of about 450 cd/m2. The end-user benefit of the
TruBrite display means an ultra bright, clear picture,
whether in a well or poorly lit room.
My Comment: This screen is unbelievable... I put on the incredibles when I first turned her on and all I can say is wow.
One thing I think to many people on this board overlook is the technology that Toshiba has put into the notebook (outside of specs that we traditionally compare). One of which is the Qosmio Engine...
Qosmio Engine
At the heart of the products is the
QosmioEngine, a hybrid hardware and
software system providing superlative video
processing to deliver a high-quality visual
experience. Arrayed around the
QosmioEngine are components to support
analog television and video input as well as
digital (MPEG2) multimedia input.
- Digital sharpness
- Black/White extension
- LCD over drive
- De-interlacing
- Colour adjustment
- Enhanced “monitor-in” functionality (I LOVE THIS FEATURE, I CONNECT MY XBOX to this thing and use the Qosmio's screen and speakers as my monitor!!!!)
- Edge enhancement
- Digital noise reduction
- Enhanced viewing with the
TV-tuner
- Y/C separation
- Time-base correction
- Digital noise reduction
- As with Qosmio’s “monitor-in” source, it also performs noise reduction on TV input signals to
help reduce the noise inherent in analog video information.
RAID 0 and 1
simple stuff....but awesome.
