Product Review
Product Description

Widescreen TV and HDTV doesn't require a large room. You should be able to appreciate and enjoy it in a small room. That's essentially where the Toshiba 20HL86 fits in. It's a TV with a 16:9 screen capable for viewing widescreen and HDTV programs. You can also use this as a PC monitor using the 15 Pin D-Sub Input. Though the screen offers a high 600:1 contrast ratio, Toshiba enhances contrast further with HD Dynamic Contrast. HD Dynamic Contrast continually analyzes picture information and enhances those parts of the picture with the most detailed information. This results in a sharper, deeper image with richer colors and a more film like image. High Definition MultiMedia Interface HDMI is the next generation of connectivity. It includes a digital video signal, and multi-channel digital audio signals on a single cable thus eliminating the need of a multiple cable hookup. Overall, small shouldn't be a compromise of features and the TheaterWide 20HL86 flat-panel LCD TV gives you a convenient TV with great picture and sound for any space. 15-Pin D-Sub VGA Input for use as a PC monitor Inputs - RF, (1) Rear A/V, (1) Rear S-Video, Component Video, A/V/S Front Panel, HDMI- HDTV Digital / Outputs - Audio SRS WOW 3-D Sound, Virtual Dolby, Stable Sound, MTS Stereo/SAP with dbx Audio Wattage - 20 Watts to built-in speakers V-Chip Parental Controls, Channel Return, Power Return, Noise Muting 3D YC Digital Comb Filter with Vertical Contour Correction Modes - Movie and Sports, TheaterWide (Standard, Full, TW1, TW2, TW3), Cinema (Film/Video) Individual A/V Settings by Input Type Channel and Video Labeling Tri-Lingual Color Icon On-Screen Display Illuminated Universal Remote Closed Captioning (On Mute) On Timer GameTimer Off/Sleep Timer Color Temperature Control (Warm/Medium/Cool) Direct Video Input Selection Unit Dimensions - (without stand) 21.04?

Amazon.com Product Description

This Toshiba model is a high-definition widescreen TV that's ideal for the latest digital entertainment. Not only does it feature an LCD panel capable of 720 progressive lines of HDTV resolution and an HDMI input port, but it also has a 15-pin D-sub port, allowing you to connect a PC and have the set double as a computer monitor with a 1366 x 768 pixel resolution.

The Value of LCD TVs
Aside from their obvious aesthetic value, LCD TVs are much more practical in the home than CRT (tube-style) televisions. They take up a smaller footprint, and thus use up less floor space in the room. Also, LCD TVs are lighter and easier to move around when cleaning or redecorating. The 20HL86 is only 3.4 inches deep without the included stand. Best of all, LCD screens use less power than CRTs and plasma screens.

Video
Response time is the interval an LCD screen takes to switch from its darkest color to its lightest color and back again, measured in milliseconds (ms). This screen's response time is 8 ms, which is at the faster and better end of the spectrum. This screen is likely to display cleaner, sharper images during high-action scenes and display fewer image artifacts than other screens in its class.

While it lacks QAM and ATSC tuners to receive HD broadcasts, it does have a built-in NTSC tuner that will display traditional cable and over-the-air analog broadcasts.

HDMI Compatible
The set comes with a built-in High-Definition Multi-media Interface (HDMI) port. HDMI is an interface format that provides uncompressed digital audio and video directly from a DVD player, next-generation game system, or some other digital video source. It represents the current state of the art in high-definition video and sound because the information never has to be converted into an analog format or compressed. Another benefit of HDMI is that it puts all that information into one cable and one easy-to-use connector.

Audio
The 20HL86 has stereo speakers and is compatible with the MTS stereo television audio standard, and even features dbx noise reduction. Toshiba's Surround Sound feature uses advanced audio processing to mimic the all-encompassing sound of satellite speakers.

Here is a list of the set's audio, video, and data connections:

  • RF inputs: 1
  • Rear A/V input: 2
  • Rear S-video input: 1
  • ColorStream HD component video inputs (Y, Pb, Pr): 1
  • HDMI digital input: 1
  • PC input: 1 (15 Pin D-Sub)
  • Headphone Jack (Mini Plug): 1

Customer Rating: 4 Star
Summary: good Toshiba 2007-02-06
Comment: I have larger Toshiba LCD TV's that I use HD on and love. THis is a smaller version that fits nicely on a kitchen countertop under the overhanging upper cabinets. The picture is quite good without the HD converter and the sound is very good. I spent $15 on a better cable (at Radio Shack) than the one provided and that helped a lot with picture quality. One negative: it does not have a digital tuner built in. No ad will tell you this, although Toshiba has a sticker on the front of the TV to inform the consumer. This is true of any brand.

Summary: All Around Good Bedroom TV 2006-10-15
Comment: Our Bedroom is 16' x 12' and we needed a good all around HD ready, LCD Flat Screen TV for the room, and this 20" fit our criteria nicely. It sits on the dresser and blends into the rest of the room well. The Instruction Manual for the remote control was well written & easy to understand. The picture and sound quality is just fine for our needs. We dont have the HD set up yet, so I can speak to that, but this is a very nice TV for the money.
