Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A great choice for smaller rooms, the 23-inch Toshiba 23HLV85 LCD TV helps you save space while enjoying vibrantly colorful high-definition television programming. It features a built-in, 181-channel NTSC TV tuner for standard broadcasts, and can receive high-definition (ATSC) broadcasts from an optional HD tuner. It also includes an integrated, slot-loading DVD player, with compatibility with a wide variety of disc and digital content formats, including DVD video, CD audio, DVD-R/RW, MP3, WMA, and JPEG (Kodak Picture and FujiColor CDs). The 23HLV85 makes it easy to connect to brilliant imagery with its component and HDMI connections, and it can also double as a PC monitor. This set also offers Toshiba's exclusive HD Dynamic Contrast function, which provides a sharper, deeper image with rich colors and a more life-like image.

The 23HLV85 has a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio--perfect for high-definition telecasts and DVD movies--1366 x 768-pixel resolution, 500 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and 500:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) It supports 720p (HDTV), 480p (EDTV), and 480i (SDTV) video formats. The GameTimer feature allows you to set the television to shut off after a specified period of time, and stay off until a lockout key code is entered. Other features include tri-lingual on-screen menus (English, French, Spanish), V-Chip parental controls, sleep timer, channel return, and channel labeling.

The HD Dynamic Contrast feature increases Contrast and Color Saturation to create deep, rich images, analyzing both the dark and bright areas of the picture, and separately optimizing the dynamic range in each area of the picture.

The DVD's Digital Picture Zoom function allows you to select an area of the picture you want to zoom in on and magnify it. Enhanced digital processing during moving video or freeze-frame playback produces superior color fidelity and resolution, even when you're zoomed in.

The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. The Digital Cinema progressive scan (3-2 inverse pulldown) function provides accurate, smooth film reproduction.

The 23HLV85 has two stereo speakers that provide 5 watts of power per channel (for 10 watts of total power) and SRS WOW virtual surround sound. The StableSound feature maintains television volume within a preset range regardless of the source signal. This helps to eliminate the annoyance of normal program volume being followed immediately by extremely loud commercial messages or drastic volume fluctuations while changing channels. This TV offers the following video and audio connections:

• Composite AV (RCA) In: 1
• S-Video In: 1
• Component Video In (Y PB PR): 1
• HDMI In: 1
• RF In: 1
• VGA 15-Pin D-Sub: 1
• Headphone: 1

Outstanding picture on both HD tv and DVDs. Very good for standard definition broadcasts due to multiple display options through just a click on the remote. Very good sound.

Light and fits just about anywhere. Looks good for variety of angles.

Easy to set up.

This review is from: Toshiba 23HLV85 23-Inch TheaterWide Flat Panel HD-ready LCD TV/DVD Combo (Electronics)

I have owned this TV for about 2 years now and it has worked great for me. We have this TV in the bedroom and have found it to have great color, sound and DVD functionality. I like the flexibility of multiple inputs. The HDMI input provides outstanding color.

My only complaint is that the TV selects the aspect ratio of the picture. You can't artificially change a standard picture to wide screen for example.

This review is from: Toshiba 23HLV85 23-Inch TheaterWide Flat Panel HD-ready LCD TV/DVD Combo (Electronics)

It lasted 4 and a half years. Six months after the extended warranty had expired it could no longer be turned on. That, by the way, is pretty revealing about extended warranties; I will never purchase another one again. The 23HLV85 overall quality was neither better nor worse than other brands (I also have 2 Samsung and 1 LG). The incorporated dvd player was constantly plagued with problems, unreliable, especially with dvds getting stuck and difficult to remove. We quickly gave up using the dvd player since we usually watch movies in the living room and the 23HLV85 was only for a bedroom. According to reviews on the net, the problem with the on/off switch and dvd player are pretty common. We inquired about fixing it but the cost was not worth being left with an old and unreliable set. We replaced it with a Samsung. I will stay away from Toshiba from now on.
