Amazon.com Product Description
Sleekly designed in a stylish black cabinet, the 26-inch Toshiba REGZA 26HLV66 HDTV brings together Toshiba's latest technological innovations for video with stunning clarity and brilliant colors. It also includes an integrated, full-featured progressive scan DVD player as well as an Ethernet port for playing digital audio and images over your home network. It pairs the super-fast Cinespeed LCD panel with the PixelPure Hi-Bit digital video processor, which provides 16 times the gradation levels of competitors' 8-bit systems, for smoother, more natural images. The set's built-in ATSC (DTV) tuner pulls HD signals (480p/720p/1080i) right from the airwaves, and its QAM tuner is fully compatible with unscrambled HDTV cable reception. A standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming. It comes with a tabletop stand that can be removed for wall mounting (with optional hardware).

All REGZA models feature the new CineSpeed LCD panel with a 33 percent faster response speed 8ms (milliseconds) and a wide 176 degree viewing angle, enabling everyone throughout the room to enjoy the screen. The PixelPure Hi-Bit digital video processor uses 12-bit picture processing (up to 14 bit internally) to create 4,096 steps of gradation (steps between the whitest white to the blackest black) for the smoothest transition possible from the darkest parts of the picture to the lightest. It also improves real speed progressive scanning, video noise reduction, sharpness, and gamma control. (If you were wondering, REGZA stands for Real Expression Generated by amaZing Architecture.)

The 26HLV66 has a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, true 16:9 aspect ratio, 400 cd/m2 (candeal per square meter) brightness rating, and 800:1 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 Movie Mode feature changes the basic picture setup conditions to create a more theater-like picture, while the Sports Mode feature automatically adjusts appropriate picture levels to produce enhanced color, detail and brightness. The GameTimer feature allows parents to set the television to shut off after a specified period of time and stay off until a lockout key code is entered. Other 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 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 five 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'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 includes the new THINC (Toshiba Home Interactive Network Connection) home entertainment networking capability (Ethernet port), which allows you to connect the TV to your PC and play MP3 audio files and JPEG pictures using only the TV remote. It offers the following connection options:

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.
