Amazon.com Product Description

The sleekly styled 26-inch Toshiba 26HLC56 HD-ready monitor features the company's latest LCD panel technology--Cinespeed--and an expanded viewing angle of 176 degrees. With no internal tuner (either standard NTSC or digital ATSC), the 26HLC56 requires an optional tuner or cable/satellite set-top box to receive standard- and high-definition television programming. It's easy to connect to brilliant imagery with the component and HDMI connections--the latter offering pure digital audio/video performance with no degradation of signal from just one convenient cable. 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.

It offers compatibility with all HDTV formats (480i, 480p, 720p, and 1080i) and it has a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution. It also features a 16:9 aspect ratio, 500 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and an exceptional 900:1 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.) The Cinespeed panel provides a very fast 8ms (millisecond) response time, which is great for watching fast-moving sports and action movies. Toshiba's PixelPure AT (Adaptive Technology) includes Motion Adaptive De-Interlacing, Adaptive MPEG Processing, Adaptive Contrast Enhancement, and Adaptive Color Enhancement--all critical elements to deliver a consistently high quality picture.

Convenience features include color temperature control, auto aspect ratio detection, closed captioning on mute, sleep timer, tri-lingual on-screen display, video input labeling, channel labeling, channel/video lock, and V-Chip parental controls.

The 4 MB, 10-bit digital 3D Y/C comb filter (with vertical contour correction) separates brightness and color signals better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-color, cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion. It performs field-by-field comparisons of the television image to accurately separate the color from the black-and-white information and remove both horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot crawl, resulting in a razor sharp image. 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 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 several TheaterWide modes that expand letterboxed images--which is particularly useful when watching narrow letterboxed Panavision or CinemaScope films.

This set has two stereo speakers that provide 10 watts of power per channel (for 20 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. It features the following video and audio connections:

  • Composite A/V: 2
  • S-Video: 1
  • Component Video: 1
  • HDMI: 1
  • PC VGA: 1

Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

SRS WOW virtual surround sound processing technology consists of three separate sound expanding systems, which work together to extract "buried" highs and lows. The three systems are, SRS 3D, TruBass, and FOCUS. SRS 3D creates a three dimensional sound field from just two speakers, thus giving the listener the feeling of hearing a multi speaker surround sound system. TruBass produces a powerful, yet low, frequency sound by utilizing a process called psychoacoustics. From only two small speakers, TruBass will give the effect of an expensive sub bass woofer that will leave the listener amazed by the quality of the sound. FOCUS was added to direct the energy from the speakers of the television set in a vertical direction up towards the listenerŐs ears. The addition of FOCUS means that there is virtually no loss of sound from the speakerŐs position on the bottom panel near the floor, which achieves a clear, undistorted range of audio.

Customer Rating: 5 Star
Summary: Best 26" HD For Your Money 2007-04-21
Comment: Being the typical Engineer, I did a lot of research before purchasing any HDTV. Due to documented Quality issues with Sharp, Samsung, and Sony, I concentrated on Toshiba and a very few other brands.

Since I have Dish, I really didn't need a set with a built-in tuner, so the Toshiba monitor was the logical choice.

I was aware of Consumer Reports selection of the Tosiba HDTV as the best in class. Now that I have this monitor set up and running, all I can say is WOW!!! CR was right as were the previous reviewers here on Amazon and various AV forums.

Summary: Outstanding 2007-03-16
Comment: TV has very good picture and sound. If you don't need the tuner, why pay for it. Yes, you can get a cheaper brand with a tuner for not much more money, but to buy a tv of this quality with a tuner is at least $400 more. I use it exclusively with a cable hook up, DVD, VCR. I say, if you're not going to need the tuner, why pay for it. I am Very Pleased.....

Summary: Great TV! 2007-03-13
Comment: I bought a Toshiba because the 26HLD56 was the top rated model for its size from Consumer Reports and Amazon was offering a very good price. The only difference between that and the "C" is the lack of a tuner. But if you're only going to watch cable and DVDs there's no need for a tuner, so save some money.

Summary: Very good LCD Monitor/TV with superb sound but one flaw 2007-02-25
Comment: Very good LCD Monitor/TV with superb sound but one flaw regretably, did I mention the sound is great. This product is a 2006 manufactured of the Toshiba "Custom Series" LCDs. Incorporates SRS WOW sound effects, stable sound & 1\2 mute, and most of all five apect ratio resizing modes to choose from with an auto aspect ratio selectable in it's menu. Can also connect to a PC VGA (standard 15 pin RGB connector) with working compatibility modes of 640x480, 800x600,1024x768 and 1280x1024 all at 60HZ refresh rate; ie. to say only of viewing the entirety of your desktop in these four modes. However will also display widescreen resolutions of 1360x768 (max resolution of this model) and a few other resolutions but PC settings from within the monitor's menu will become disabled (I wonder why Toshiba made the firmware like that ???). Don't let that be a flaw you have to stick with, powerstrip software takes good care of that.
Quality is outstanding, I had to add this paragragh because I didn't get the cable I ordered for the first time review. My computer is connected to the HDMI through an "Atlona High-quality Dvi to Hdmi Cable", I dropped the VGA connection. You must be technical somehow before hooking this up as to knowing in which DVI category your video card lies. The DVI pins on this cable look somewhat like this - ::: ::: (Digital) rather than the custom :-: ::: ::: (Analog+Digital). The pins that would normally fall in the middle like :-: :::::::: are for digital audio. So to say your video card DVI must be DVI-I or DVI-D, not DVI-A but the cable must be DVI-D. HDMI is Digital only, not compatible with analog (RGB). With this hookup 720p and 1080i is possible, my inexpensive recommendation to you who would need to change your video card is an EVGA FX5500 card or later model.

Summary: This is a VESA 200 TV 2007-02-05
Comment: I checked botht he Amazon product review and Toshiba website before buying and deduced, based on the size, that it was VESA 100 and bought a VESA 75/100 mount. There is nothing on either site that indicates which it is. Unfortunately, it is VESA 200 compliant only.

In addition, please be aware that the weight w/o the stand is 24.5 lbs. This was also not clear on either site. I had purchased the Sanus Systems VM2s w/o the 200 mm converison plate and now have to go back and buy it.

Aside from that, the TV arrived quickly and in good condition (shipped from Beach). I have not used the TV yet but assume, based on previous experience with Toshiba, it will be great. It is a very nice looking TV.
