Built-In ATSC/NTSC/QAM Digital Tuning
Built-In ATSC/NTSC/QAM digital tuning allows for tuning of standard cable channels as well as off-air digital broadcasts, in addition to digital "cable-in-the-clear" broadcasts.

Color Temperature Control
Most Toshiba televisions provide three user-selectable Color Temperature settings affect the sets overall white balance. The "Warm" setting reduces the color temperature to an NTSC standard 6500 degrees Kelvin and delivers a redder image that is ideal for display in a dimly lit room. "Medium" and "Cool" provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as room light levels are increased.

TheaterWide® Modes
Sets with TheaterWide® modes are ideal for displaying HDTV signals as well as "enhanced for widescreen television" DVDs.

  • TheaterWide 1: Letterboxed image is digitally expanded 33% horizontally and vertically. Useful for reproducing Academy Standard (1.851) formatted software.

  • TheaterWide 2: Letterboxed image is expanded 33% horizontally and 42% vertically. Particularly of use when viewing narrow letterboxed images originally filmed in Panavision or CinemaScope.

  • TheaterWide 3: Letterboxed image is expanded 33% horizontally and 24% vertically. Can be utilized when displaying letterboxed images that incorporate narrow bands at the top and bottom of the picture.


  • DynaLight™ Backlight Control utilizes advanced image processing to monitor the brightness of each video frame, and adjust the backlight intensity accordingly. This precision creates seamless transitions with deep blacks for increased detail and depth analysis.

    awesome little lcd!

    "I purchased this as a 2nd LCD and use it in my kitchen where it's wall mounted. The rear VESA mounting was easy as pie! The only issue I had was removing the stand - it's held on by 5 screws that kept stripping. After an hour of struggling and about 6 different screwdrivers, I finally got them all. Here's a TIP: use a high quality screwdriver, i.e., Craftsman. For some reason it "bit" better than cheaper on..." Read Full Review »

    Non HD Picture Quality Questionable

    "Set TV up in kitchen under cabinets. Despite great reviews, the TV does not deliver good picture quality using a standard signal (non HD). Picture is unclear and fuzzy, especially around the perimeter of on-screen objects. Also, it is difficult to watch programming for any length of time. Planning to return TV...." Read Full Review »

Rather than the plug having to be placed in an upward direction, it would be so much easier if the connection was able to be put in straight in. (i.e. as a plug goes into a wall) Connection falls out easily, diffic …"  Read Full Review »
