In order to test the video performance of the Toshiba 47TL515U 3D LCD NetTV, I used the standardized HQV DVD Benchmark Test Disc from Silicon Optix (IDT). The test has a series of test patterns and images that test how well a video processor in a Blu-ray Disc/DVD player, home theater receiver, or TV player can display a good quality image when face with a low resolution or poor quality source.

In this Step-by-Step look, the results of several of the tests listed in the list above are shown.

The following tests were conducted with an Oppo DV-980H DVD Player connected directly to the 47TL515U. The DVD player was set for NTSC 480i resolution and connected to the 47TL515U via the composite video cable so that test results reflected the video processing performance of the 47TL515U, which upscales input signals to 1080p for display. The test results are shown as measured by the Silicon Optix (IDT) HQV DVD Benchmark Disc.

Screen shots for the test illustrations were made with a Toshiba DSC-R1 Still Camera.
