Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

The 26-inch Toshiba 26HF66 flat-screen CRT television features a widescreen, 16:9 aspect ratio and 480i (interlaced) display resolution, which isn't compatible with the pristine imagery of true high-def resolution broadcasts. However, you'll still be able to receive these digital broadcasts thanks to the set's built-in ATSC (DTV) tuner--which pulls HD signals right from the airwaves--and its QAM tuner that is fully compatible with unscrambled HDTV cable reception. A standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming. Surprisingly slim at just 19.8 inches deep, its attractive silver and gray cabinet will look great in any room.

The FST PURE flat screen picture tube delivers increased viewing angles along with the enhanced picture linearity necessary to produce accurate, life-like images. This feature eliminates unwanted reflections from room lighting, which is a common problem in conventional tube designs. It also improves sharpness and brightness.

The digital comb filter converts chrominance and luminance signals into a digital medium prior to separation and 2H delay. This process provides enhanced color purity and reduced dot crawl. It's also able to eliminate detail noise in intricate scenes as well as reduce color bleed from broadcast sources. The advanced velocity scan modulation feature improves black to white image transitions for sharper detail and enhanced picture definition in high brightness operating conditions.

The Cinema Mode feature 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. This set also offers five TheaterWide modes that expand letterboxed images--which is particularly useful when watching narrow letterboxed Panavision or CinemaScope films.

The GameTimer feature also allows parents to set the TV to shut off after a specified period of game playing, and it will stay off until a lockout key code is entered. Other features include a glow-key remote contol, closed caption decoding, channel labeling, favorite channel, tri-lingual onscreen menus (English, French, Spanish), and V-Chip parental controls.

This set has two stereo speakers that produce 5 watts of power per channel (10 watts total) that can produce virtual surround sound. The StableSound feature eliminates the annoyance of normal program volume being followed immediately by extremely loud commercial messages or drastic volume fluctuations while changing channels. It features the following video and audio connections:

• Composite A/V: 2 (1 front)
• S-Video: 1
• Component Video: 1
• RF: 1

Tech Talk
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

This review is from: Toshiba 26DF56 26" Widescreen Pure Flat Standard Definition CRT TV (Electronics)

Pros:

Really nice picture quality.

Wide picture digital off air broadcasting is awesome. Watching Leno show in full 26" crt tv without any issue with black color.

Cons:

Heavy

Wide pic doesn't work well when getting video output from a computer (problem with analog/digital output?). To fill the whole screen, you need to zoom in which lowers the quality a little.

Yep sure is a widescreen crt ! What they do not tell you is on wide screen you loose about 3/4" top and bottom blacked out! Also remote can't be used in a dry house condition as it has to be reprogammed very often something to do with capicitors in remote! Was better off zooming my dvd player on my 27' JVC ! Picture is good on this model though !
