One of the specs you'll come across time and time again with televisions such as the Toshiba 32SL753 is 100Hz motion. This feature improves how fast action scenes appear on flat panel TVs. One problem with flat displays in the past has been the loss of detail, or the appearance of 'motion blur' (a form of picture distortion) during sports and action scenes. 100Hz technology aims to smooth out flaws in fast scenes by increasing the number of frames that are shown. Different manufacturers have slightly different named 100Hz technologies, but they all tackle the problem in a similar way - by adding in extra frames that improve the appearance of the motion being shown on screen.
Full HD TVs are capable of showing high definition images that are up to five times as sharp and detailed as old style 'standard definition' images. You'll need to have an HD source, such as a Blu-ray player, games console or HD TV to be able to really see the difference though. All TVs on sale today are HD-Ready. A Full HD TV has a letter p after it and this means that the picture is shown in the best possible quality.
1920 x 1080 is the highest resolution available on a television. Often shortened to 1080p, it refers to the number of pixels a screen can display and the level of detail it can show.
The 32SL753 has 4 x HDMI inputs. HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface and is a standard used for audio / visual equipment. Like the older scart, HDMI is a port that allows you to connect things like Blu-ray players and games consoles to your television. Unlike scart, they're very easy to plug in - and take up a fraction of the space scart leads do. HDMI allows for HD devices to send high resolution information to the television. HDMI is an uncompressed digital signal, as opposed to previous analog interfaces such as S-Video, component video and composite video. In short, HDMI is the best way to connect your AV equipment and is going to be with us a good way into the future. There's a really good blog post over at Hi-Def hardware if you'd like to find out more.
Active Vision 2 is the latest version of Toshiba's image technology that aims to improve the level of detail and quality of the image on screen. With active vision you can expect improved colour gradation and a reduction in the blocking effect often seen in large areas of colour on flat panel displays. It uses complex up-scaling technology that allows each pixel and is especially noticeable in areas of detail. Here's an image showing Active Vision 2 in action, close-up.

Resolution+ is an upscalling technology from Toshiba. It's purpose it to take a non-hd video and improve it's appearance when it's shown on an HD television. It does this by enhancing the edges and textures in each frame. The image quality is then somewhere between standard definition and high definition. Each frame is of video is actually upscaled and cleaned three times in a complex process by a computer. Although it happens behind the scenes and so quickly that you can't see anything happening. The best place to get information how it all works is on the Toshiba Resolution+ page.
