Key Features
- 720p HD resolution (1366 x 768 pixels)
- 60Hz screen refresh rate
- CineSpeed LCD panel with a fast response speed necessary for cleaner high-action home theater images. A wide viewing angle ensures that you'll have the best seat in the house.
- DynaLight Backlight Control utilizes advanced image processing to monitor the brightness of each video frame, and adjust the backlight intensity accordingly. This precision creates seamless transitions with deep blacks for increased detail and depth analysis.
- Photo Frame capability allows this HDTV to act as both a TV and a digital photo frame. You can showcase your favorite memories as a clear, crisp slide show on the high-resolution television screen--all controlled with just the TV remote.
- Gaming Mode takes the gaming experience to a new level by reducing game control delay, thus giving the player improved reaction time and a more realistic playing experience. This is great when used with popular gaming consoles, or with PC games using the TVs PC Input.
- Built-in ATSC/NTSC/QAM digital tuning allows for tuning of standard cable channels as well as off-air digital broadcasts, in addition to digital "cable-in-the-clear" broadcasts.
- Native Mode restores the size of the picture by the 3-5 percent that is generally lost during the normal over-scanning that occurs on traditional sets.
- Cinema Mode 24 fps (3:2 Pulldown): This HDTV performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.
- Color Temperature Control enables you to adjust white balance to achieve the best television picture possible in any viewing environment, or simply adjust the picture to suit your personal tastes. The "Warm" setting delivers a redder image that is ideal for display in a dimly lit room, while "Medium" and "Cool" provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as room light levels are increased.
- Three TheaterWide modes are ideal for displaying HDTV signals as well as enhanced for widescreen television DVDs.
- TheaterWide 1: Letterboxed image is digitally expanded 33 percent horizontally and vertically. Useful for reproducing Academy Standard (1.85:1) formatted software.
- TheaterWide 2: Letterboxed image is expanded 33 percent horizontally and 42 percent vertically. Particularly of use when viewing narrow letterboxed images originally filmed in Panavision or CinemaScope.
- TheaterWide 3: Letterboxed image is expanded 33 percent horizontally and 24 percent vertically. Can be utilized when displaying letterboxed images that incorporate narrow bands at the top and bottom of the picture.
- MP3 audio and JPEG image playback via USB port on the side.
- REGZA-LINK (HDMI-CEC) allows peripheral AV devices such as a DVD player to be controlled by the remote control.
- Bottom-mounted invisible speakers integrated into stylish Horizon bezel design (10 Watts total power; 5W + 5W).
- Dolby Digital and DTS compatible with digital optical audio output.
- Channel Browser allows you to easily scan through the last 32 channels you have viewed, with screen images for the last five channels displayed, by channel, by favorites, and by input, at the touch of a button.
- Channel Labeling allows you to put station call letters on the screen along with the station numbers, so you always know what channel you're watching
- Input labeling enables you to name the individual inputs to denote usage, such as "DVD Player" (instead of having them display as just "HDMI 1" and "HDMI 2").
- Removable stand for wall mounting (100mm x 200mm VESA mounting pattern)
- Tri-lingual onscreen menu (English, French, Spanish)
- Warranty: 1-year limited warranty on parts and labor

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
 | With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

I've started buying Toshiba electronics, because yes they are good and reliable, but they have the best customer service I have run into. They not only speak clearly, and are patient , but they really help out. I've called them for a couple set up problems, mainly connecting the TVs to DVD recorders, but they have assisted with correcting some problems, because of the DVD recorder. Other than that their instruction manuals are clear and well written with good diagrams. It was easy to set up, putting it into the stand required 3 hands, so you might want to make sure that the third one is nearby.
As for the TV itself, it looks handsome and is very stable. It also has control buttons on the left side so there are alternatives other than the sometimes misplaced remote control
The picture is better than our other TVs and seems just as good as friend's huge very expensive units. The sound is fine and on other TVs I sometimes wind up turning it up to full volume. My only complaint is that when I switch back and forth between TV and DVD/Video use I have to adjust the picture size back to the theater size I want, one would think there would be a way to keep the setting.
Other than that I am sold on this unit and style.

Amazon Verified Purchase
My wife and I purchased this TV for our study. It's a perfect size for the room. Sound and picture are good for it's size. We looked around for quite some time at both name brands and off brands and overall this TV is great value. It received good reviews and ratings from Consumer Reports. Although we have only had this TV for only two weeks I would recommend it.

Good picture, good sound. I'm not sure it is worth the price premium over other 26 inch LCD TV's. BEWARE, has no headphone jack or audio output, so there is no way to send the sound to an external sound system. Also, has no zoom, although there is a special setting to expand 4:3 TV pictures to fill the screen. Plastic frame has white dots at bottom rim of bezel to produce a trompe l'oeil curved effect -- corny.

Good but not as great as the reviews suggest
My expectations were probably much too high. I found the sound to be fine but the picture needed to be set on maximum brightness and even then at times it was not bright enough. Read more

An "A" for picture quality
The HD clarity is stunning. If you are using a basic coaxial cable, the picture is very good. However, the fun really begins when you connect up with the Component Cables. Read more

bedroom tv - great picture!
This tv is the perfect size for my medium sized bedroon The colors are bright and the picture is very clear. It is very narrow and doesn't take up much room on my bureau.
