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 listenerÕs ears. The addition of FOCUS means that there is virtually no loss of sound from the speakerÕs position on the bottom panel near the floor, which achieves a clear, undistorted range of audio.

Worst Screen Protector Ever.......2006-12-16

I have bought a lot of screen protectors, and they can be hard to install well, but these are the worst. Impossible to install well and start peeling up at the edges almost immediately. Also, I bought a 3-pak and one of the three was missing altogether from the package.

Useless.......2006-09-13

I ordered the screen protector because it was one designed specifically for the Nokia 770. I received it in a white envelope which was nice. It came with one screen protector, a piece of cardboard to iron out the air bubbles and a cloth. I wiped the screen very well with the cloth, I then applied the screen protector, in the process I got a tiny piece of hair/lint under it. It was very clear and visible when I turned on the device. I then unpeeled it which was a feat in itself, tried to get rid of the lint but ended up getting way more lint on there and scratched the protector in the process, after going through the washing instructions the screen protector lost it's adhesive-ness.

I recommend you stay away from this product as it's very frustrating to apply. If you can, find a non adhesive kind or just stick it out, the screen if fine on the nokia 770, I was just being paranoid.
