Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Get ready for high-def now with Toshiba's sleek, silvery, and amazingly affordable 26HF85 widescreen HDTV-ready CRT television. The set houses bottom-mounted stereo speakers and a FST PURE flat picture tube, which looks great while minimizing image-degrading ambient light reflections. The 26-inch set offers an image 1 inch wider than you'd get from a 27-inch standard 4:3 aspect-ratio TV. It's as loaded with image technologies as it is with connections and conveniences, simplifying and enriching your home-theater experience.
DFine high-speed velocity-scan modulation improves definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas. A wideband video amplifier minimizes noise and distortion.
A 3D Y/C (4 MB, 10-bit) digital comb filter with Vertical Contour Correction processes RF and composite-video signals for a sharp, clean picture. This advanced filter significantly reduces detail noise, seen as shimmering or flicker, in complex or intricate scenes.
And, since not everything you watch will be high-definition in origin (wouldn't that be nice), CrystalScan HDSC upconverts all video signals (including 480i/p) to 1080i HD. This significantly reduces jagged-line artifacts for a smoother, more natural image. (Selectable 540p, for those who want a progressive-scan image from a progressive-scan source, is available through the onscreen menu.) CableClear DNR+ Digital Noise Reduction circuitry--selectable by input--optimizes poor NTSC signals from antenna or cable by eliminating video noise (snow).
The 26HF85 is loaded with connections of all stripes, including a HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) HDTV input, which gives you a pure, uncompressed video connection with your DTV receiver or set-top box (not included). HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.
BBE sound improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages. The set comes with a 4-device illuminated universal remote control capable of operating DVD players.

Great Widescreen HDTV For The Price,
By
This review is from: Toshiba 26HF85 26" Widescreen HD-Ready Flat Screen TV (Electronics)
I purchased this set from Amazon, who offered the lowest price and delivered it within a week. Highly recommended.I have a satellite receiver connected via the standard jacks, which provide great picture and sound. Just a note: I had problems with some faulty cables. After switching them out, it fixed some odd stripes across the screen. I have a DVD player connected via the HDMI input, which provides SUPURB picture and sound. I don't think this picture can be beat, especially with the new flat screens that are so expensive. I still can't believe people are paying for those slim sets when they have grainy pictures... even chunky pixels, with grayish blacks, etc. I have this 26" model, which is compact and easily carried by one person using the handles that are literally part of the cabinet. This set fits nicely into a medium-sized armoire. It's the perfect size for bedrooms, although I'm sure the 30" model is great. The speakers are fine unless you want to get rocked by a surround system while relaxing in bed. There's also a nice optional feature that calms down the loud parts of movies. I have another Toshiba 32" TV that I purchased about 11 years ago, and it still works great with minor picture degradation. I believe this set will last too, as I think Toshiba makes durable products. There are a lot of adjustments you can make to video and audio. This is especially important with HDTV as the high resolution can highlight both good and bad contrast, warmth, etc. It may take you a couple weeks to get it tweaked just right. It also allows you to fit standard sized pictures into the widescreen format in about 3 different ways... then you can actually move the picture up or down a little. Great feature. I can't say anything negative about this set, except it takes a little time to figure out how to adjust everything, and it would be nice to have another HDMI input or two. The HDMI input along with the HDTV resolution using the CRT tube truly provide remarkable results. To summarize... where technology stands right now, this type of TV offers the BEST picture and the LOWEST price. It's the only way to go.

Great starter HDTV or bedroom set,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Toshiba 26HF85 26" Widescreen HD-Ready Flat Screen TV (Electronics)
The Toshiba 26HF85 is my first HDTV set. My criteria were 1080i support, HDMI and dual HD component inputs, in a small cabinet. With its speakers on the bottom, this set is very compact. At only 27.5" wide, it is small enough to fit on an extra nightstand in my bedroom. I have a DirecTV H10 Hi-Def receiver hooked to it via HDMI, along with a PlayStation 2 via component. The picture quality is superb, although I am certainly no expert in that area.This set has a well-designed and attractive remote control with buttons that glow in the dark. The cabinet has nice styling as well, and even has built-in handles like the smaller Toshibas. The menu system is fairly easy to use and offers plenty of options, but the on-screen graphics are low-quality and are hideous compared to the gorgeous menus in the newer Samsungs. This set does have auto aspect ratio sensing, but I don't feel that it works as well as it could. The 26HF85 is an attractively-priced HDTV if you don't require an on-board ATSC tuner.

CRT HDTV ARE THE BEST VALUE,
By John (Iowa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Toshiba 26HF85 26" Widescreen HD-Ready Flat Screen TV (Electronics)
This is an excellent HDTV at a price one third to one half of a LCD or Plasma HDTV. If you have room for the cabinet, these TV's are extraordinary values with pictures that have better blacks and truer colors than many LCD or plasma sets. The picture is astounding, even off a conventional air antenna. The set adjusts to obtain the best picture from the signal and the analog signal can hardly be distinguished from the HDTV image.
