When the time comes to turn your favorite movie into a big-screen event, punch up your listening with full surround sound, immerse yourself in gaming or deck out your home office with high-def displays, try a Toshiba laptop offering HDMI with REGZA Link™.

Enlarge your entertainment
HDMI makes it easy to experience big-screen high-definition video in full 1080p with 5.1** surround sound through a single cable. Simply connect your HDMI-equipped Toshiba laptop to a HDMI-compatible home theater and suddenly you’re right in the middle of the action, lost in the drama, blown away by the crisp highs and rich bass tones.

Go high-def in your home office
Many discover they need one or more high-resolution monitors in their home office for better multitasking, graphic design or video editing. If that’s you, you’ll be glad to know that Toshiba laptops with HDMI offer much better quality and more flexibility than those with older A/V connections. So don’t deny yourself a single pixel of detail.

Use one remote. And lose
the frustration
Along with a better picture and sound there are other benefits to Toshiba laptops offering HDMI with REGZA Link™. Connect to other HDMI-CEC electronics—A/V receivers, TVs and DVD players—and you can run the entire show using a single remote control. It makes adding or upgrading equipment easy too. And used with a camcorder it’s also great for faster home video editing.
