Amazon.com Product Description
Toshiba's Regza line of TVs marry state-of-the-art technology to hip design. One feature that sets them apart is PixelPure 14-bit digital video processing, which creates more than 4,000 levels of color gradations for a smooth, natural-looking picture without posterization or image banding. Another benefit is a fast response time. Response time is the interval an LCD screen takes to 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 with fewer image artifacts than other screens in its class. This technology is housed in a black gloss cabinetry that is sure to fit well with most any decor. The 26HL67 has a panel resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. This qualifies it as 720 progressive-line HDTV, which is a noticeably better picture than standard definition sets, but not as detailed as the 1080 HD sets available. Its 16:9 wide screen aspect ratio delivers most movies the way they were meant to be seen in the theater, without back bars wasting the top and bottom of the screen. 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 26HL67 is only 4.65 inches deep and weighs 26.5 pounds. Best of all, LCD screens use less power than CRTs and plasma screens. Connections
The set has a built-in digital television tuner, so out of the box it can receive digital broadcast ATSC signals and QAM signals used by most digital cable providers. It also has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner, so it can also accept traditional analog signals. It can also make these connections to your audio and video components: - HDMI inputs: 3
- ColorStream HD component video inputs: 2
- PC monitor input: 1 VGA 15 Pin D-sub
- S-video input: 1
- A/V inputs: 2
Audio
The unit's SoundStrip speaker system hides the unit's speakers in a thin strip bordering the screen. They're powerful enough to deliver big stereo sound, but they don't add significantly to the size of the set. Toshiba's StableSound feature maintains television volume within a preset range regardless of the source signal. This is an extremely useful feature when transitioning between a quiet television program and a very loud commercial advertisement or when changing channels. SRS WOW, a combination of SRS 3D, TruBass, and Focus sound-expanding systems, create a 3-D sound field with improved bass response over standard TV audio and create directed, three-dimensional audio sweet spot for maximum enjoyment. The TV also has optical digital output for connecting to your audio system. 26-inch wide screen
A general rule of thumb for selecting the right size television screen is that the screen width--not its 26-inch diagonal measurement--should be between three and five times the optimum viewing distance, such as the distance from the TV screen to where your eyes are while sitting on the couch. Less than that and you may be distracted by the scan lines of the picture. More than that, and you may lose the detail of your TV. Based on this guide, the 26HL67 is ideal for viewing distances of six to 10 feet. What's in the Box

Summary: "Customer Service" at Toshiba is an Oxymoron 2008-07-27
Comment: Enjoyed this TV for 9 months, when it began powering itself on and off. It then began turning itself off every 10 minutes. One-year warranty provided for home servicing, but Toshiba said I lived too far away from repair center but they will pick up & return the set. Not a problem. After 2 weeks, learned that 1 part was not in stock. After 2 more weeks, Toshiba finally sent a powerboard. It was defective. They sent a 2nd one -- it too was defective, according to authorized service center. Toshiba rep actually giggled when I asked about a loaner or replacement TV. It will be TWO MONTHS on 7/28/08, with several more attempts to install parts that do not fix this TV.
One day after the above appeared on Amazon, my TV was returned, with 4 new (3 major) parts installed, & it still works 2 days later. It sure was a hassle, so I still wouldn't recommend Toshiba.

Summary: Loving this lil TV so far.. 2008-05-20
Comment: The picture at 720p is excellent. Hands down.
The sound could be a lil better- but it can fill a small room quite nicely (I'ts in my bedroom)
Looks great hooked up to Any video gaming system.
Only con is I wish it was a little flatter and I'd like some "master" buttons on the unit just in case you lose that remote.

Summary: Recommended (with a caveat) 2008-05-01
Comment: I purchased this TV for use in my home office, since I tend to watch most movies in that room. When the TV arrived, it did not work out of the box. I had no problems in reaching a person at Toshiba's help line, but I quickly found out that I could not return it for a new TV, which was incredibly frustrating. Instead, I had to register the TV, then take it to a Toshiba authorized service center for repair. Because this happened just before the Christmas season, the length of time for the repair was a little longer than it would've been otherwise. (A seasonal thing, obviously, so I can't fault anyone for that.) The gentleman at the repairshop was able to diagnose the problem right away, but indicated that the part had to be ordered. Basically, the TV would turn on, and I could get audio, but no video. I also was not able to access any of the TV's menus, obviously, because of the video problem.
It's a great TV, and has worked absolutely wonderfully since the day I got it back from the repair shop. I still recommend the TV, despite the problem I had with it, but I would suggest not purchasing high ticket items like this online. You might pay a little more getting a TV from a big box store, but you at least know that if it doesn't work out of the box, you can return it and get a new one in exchange on the same day and not suffer the hassles I had to.
Otherwise, I very much recommend this TV if you have need for one in a small room.

Summary: Very Happy 2007-12-26
Comment: My son was looking for his first T.V. to buy. He had reviewed serveral different kinds and with what was offered for the price he paid,the Toshiba Regza was a great find. The picture is wonderful and very clear. The set up was easy and connecting with the dish network was not difficult. If you are looking for a good LCD T.V. that you will not have to spend your last cent on, I would invest in this T.V.
