Amazon.com Product Description

The sleekly styled 32-inch Toshiba 32HLC56 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 32HLC56 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.

Summary: Great Movie Screen for Small Apartments 2008-03-20
Comment: If you're like me and want to eschew broadcast and cable TV for the finest Netflix has to offer, all you really need is a great DVD player and a monitor to hook up to it. Simple living at its modern best! In a small apartment, a 32" widescreen television monitor looks HUGE, so it's just like being at the movies.

Now, MY dvd player is 6 years old, so there's no HDMI hookup. Luckily, the Toshiba has S-video and composite video. Just hook either video source to it, and I output the audio to a set of Altec Lansing computer speakers via an adapter that changes mini plugs to red/white audio plugs. Color is out-of-this world on this monitor to the point where I need to turn down the contrast for viewing after sundown in a darkened room such as my bedroom.

Ladies, worried about the monitor's weight? Don't be. Carrying this is a relative breeze as opposed to moving around my 20" JVC tube TV, which almost gave me a hernia getting it onto a dolly. This TV screen is light as a...well, not a feather, but feels as if it weighs half as much.

So, I'm set for movie night! Oh, and what to use for your dvd player? Well, I'm a big fan of JVC products, so I recommend the JVC XVN350B DVD Video Player. It's inexpensive, yet quality.

Also, I highly recommend a surge protector of some kind to plug in both pieces of electronic equipment. I use the Belkin PureAV Home Theater 9-Outlet Surge Protector.

Thanks for reading!

Summary: Excellent! 2007-06-01
Comment: I was lucky enough to get this at a great price as an open box item at bestbuy. This is a great screen with a perfect picture! It does not have a tuner which is fine because I don't watch TV. TV shows look ridiculous on widescreen TVs anyway because they are mostly broadcast in pan and scan. The remote allows you to change the input on the monitor as well as the image size so you can customize whatever movie or game you have on your screen to make it in normal widescreen or zoom it in to remove the letterbox and fill it up the screen completely. I have had no issues at all with this monitor; it's very versatile: I can hook up my laptop to it, my DVD player, Nintendo Wii, everything. It also has the all-important HDMI port for when I get an HD DVD player. Overall its perfect as long as you don't mind it not having a built-in tuner.

Summary: WOW- Toshiba does it again! 2007-01-20
Comment: I decided it was time to join the 21st Century and retire my 22 year old Toshiba 20" CRT to the guest room. This was a big purchase for me, so I spent a lot of time looking at LCD TV's in stores and on the internet. I could not be happier with my choice- fabulous picture, decent sound with just the built in speakers, and FABULOUS price. It honestly compares favorably with the picture quality of the Samsung's and Sony's I saw in the stores at twice the price. When I ordered it from Tiger Direct I ordered an HDMI cable (for less than $20) at the same time. Set up was a breeze (didn't need the cable guy or help)- HDMI to HD Cable Box/DVR and I was off and running. The day I got it didn't have HD box yet, so used RCA cables to connect it to my standard Digital Cable/DVR box and it worked fine, but I'm glad I ordered the HDMI cable. You DO need a cable or satellite box for this TV to work, but for me that wasn't an issue. All together, just thrilled and highly recommend it!
