Toshiba 26HL84 26'' HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV

Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Smaller than previous models and boasting an ever-sharper image, Toshiba's 26HL84 LCD television is stocked to the gills with life-simplifying features and sophisticated image enhancements. With minimal glare, no screen curvature, and no irritating high-frequency screen noise, the 26-inch set stands fully apart from its CRT counterparts. Set it on a table using the supplied stand or mount it on the wall using optional brackets for ultimate space efficiency.

The 1,366 x 768-resolution set boasts not only 2 ColorStream HD high-definition (up to 720p) component-video inputs, but also a Digital Visual Interface (DVI-HDTV) for a direct digital connection with an HD set-top box or HD satellite receiver (sold separately).

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (with no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning.

Toshiba's PixelPure proprietary digital video processing is a suite of 8 different circuits that together create a consistently clear, deep, and accurate picture: 6.2 million pixel oversampling (for higher perceived resolution with decreased image distortion), Real Speed Progressive Scanning (which uses additional sampling points to create smoother diagonal lines), Magic Square Algorithm (for smooth and natural color gradation), Dynamic Contrast Enhancer (for higher perceived contrast and increased color saturation and purity), Super Real Transient and Small Signal Sharpness (for sharp transitions from dark to bright), Color Transient Improver (for sharp transitions on color changes without bleeding), and Color Detail Enhancer (to maintain fine image detail in color saturated areas).

A 3D Y/C (4 MB, 10-bit) digital comb filter with Vertical Contour Correction ensures sharp, clean pictures from RF (older VCR, laserdisc) and composite-video signals. Cinema Mode (3:2 pulldown switch) circuitry identifies original film-based content from DVDs, then reassembles the frame sequence to more accurately reproduce the original 24-frame-per-second material.

Other features include HD Window POP (picture-on-picture) with split-screen and 12-multiwindow viewing as well as PIP sound (which lets you watch and listen to two programs simultaneously, even HD sources); TheaterLink IR (through which you can operate your video components by pointing the remote at the TV screen, even if the components are hidden away); CableClear DNR+ digital noise reduction; individual audio/video settings by input type; sleep and wake timers; SurfLock; and a host of parental controls including GameTimer, channel lock, and video input lock.

Dual ColorStream HD component-video inputs (Y, Pr, Pb) provide the ultimate picture quality from high-resolution component-video signals (as from compatible DVD players or satellite receivers). Two sets of rear AV inputs and a set of front AV inputs (all including S-video) foster easy connection with a camcorder or gaming console, and a rear audio output--choose from fixed- or variable-level feeds--lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver.

And the 10-watts-per-channel 26HL84 offers a little something--well, a lot of something--extra in the bass department: Toshiba's Sub-Bass System (SBS), which heightens the impact of low-frequency audio. Meanwhile, SRS WOW combines 3D Sound (simulated surround sound from any stereo audio) with TruBass (yet another low-frequency enhancement) and Focus (which clarifies voices). If that's not enough aural excitement, you can also enjoy 2-channel simulated surround courtesy of Dolby Virtual Surround.

What's in the Box
LCD TV, desk stand, remote control, remote batteries, IR dongle for TheaterLink IR feature, a user's manual, and warranty information.

Customer Reviews:

Toshiba LCD is GREAT!.......2006-03-04

The purchase price was very good for what I received. Installation was really simple and the picture is fabulous. The only problem I have encountered is that I can not use all of the features of the remote because I have to have a cable box. However, some of the features are still available.
I love the TV and am waiting until this summer to buy a DVD recorder to go with it. I hear there are supposed to be some major changes to DVD recorders this summer.

Nice widescreen for a compact space.......2005-09-03

The design of speakers underneath the screen fulfilled my need for a widescreen LCD that would fit in the same cabinet that an old Sony XBR2 without speakers had occupied. I am satisfied with the picture quality and the ease of shifting between picture modes. The widescreen and the resolution prompted me to start watching my old laserdiscs again.

A Great 26" LCD.......2005-07-29

I've had my Toshiba 26HL84 for about 3 months now. The picture is very good, although some analog stations don't look that great (but the HD channels are awesome!).

The only complaint I have is the DVI input. It appears to be DVI-D, not DVI-I which means I can't hook my laptop up to it using a VGA to DVI adapter. If you have a PC with a DVI-D output (like my desktop PC), then there's likely no problem. Also, I couldn't get my MOXI DVR box to work with the DVI output from it, but since the component video works fine, why bother

Great Service.......2005-06-28

Great service, we received the product in 3 days. It was packaged well for shipping, and it came in by Fed X without any damage. The TV is great too just as we expected. Thanks for a job well done.

Great Pic for the Price.......2005-03-11

I needed a mid-size TV to hang on the wall in my bedroom. Didn't want to spend close to $2K like some 20-something inch LCD TV's are. I checked out the Sharp, Sony, Toshiba, and Panasonic (others too?) at an electronics store. Sony was out of the price range, Sharp was in, but didn't have quite the pic quality that the Toshiba had in my opinion - but a close second. Didn't care for the Panasonic.

Now that it is home I like it a lot. It is very bright and colorful - even w/ the brightness, backlighting, or color settings on normal/default. DVD's look sharp thru component cables. Digital cable looks great too. Analog Cable is better than on my old CRT, but still a wee noisy. Still, analog cable looks pretty good.

Sound is very adequate for every day TV watching. Remote is suprisingly nice to use. I have it control my high end Denon AVR and DVD, cheap Sony CD and VCR players, and my cable box.

Jackpack is very nice w/ plenty of options, but don't expect to use all the inputs - you'll never route all those cables through the space Toshiba leaves you.

I have only two dissapointments with the TV:
1) The grey bars on 4:3 images are too light even on the darkest setting. I would prefer them to be black instead of grey.
2) Wish the remote was a learning remote and not just programmable. Biggest dissapointment is not having the menu/info buttons available for my digital cable box.
