A great choice for smaller rooms or apartments, the 20-inch Toshiba 20HLV16 Theaterwide LCD television provides vividly colorful images from standard and high-definition television programming. It also includes a side slot-loading DVD player that's compatible with a wide variety of disc and format options. It offers a 720p (progressive) true HD display with a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, and it's capable of display HDTV with an optional high-definition receiver (this set includes a 125-channel NTSC tuner). It comes with a removable table stand, and this set can be wall-mounted with an optional kit.
You can use the 20HL16 as a computer monitor with its VGA 15-Pin D-sub input. In addition to its HD component-video input, the 20HLV16 has a HDMI input terminal for direct digital connection with an HD set-top box or HD Satellite receiver. This LCD TV has a 500 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating and 500:1 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.)
In addition to DVD movie and CD audio discs, the integrated DVD player is also compatible with DVD-R/RW, CD-R/RW, and VCD discs and CDs burned with MP3 and WMA digital audio files. The JPEG Viewer enables the display of digital photographs captured in the JPEG format. Simply load the CD with your favorite photos and create custom slide shows with a few simple clicks of the player's remote control. With the Digital Picture Zoom interactive DVD feature, you can select an area of the picture you want to zoom in on and magnify it. Enhanced digital processing during moving video or freeze-frame playback produces superior color fidelity and resolution, even when you're zoomed in.
The 20HLV16 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. A 3D Y/C comb filter (4 MB, 10-bit with Vertical Contour Correction) further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). The HD Dynamic Contrast feature increases contrast and color saturation to create deep, rich images. The intelligent circuitry analyzes both the dark and bright areas of the picture, and separately optimizes the dynamic range in each area of the picture.
Convenience features include color temperature control, closed captioning on mute, sleep timer, tri-lingual on-screen display, V-Chip parental controls, video input labelling, channel labeling, and Toshiba's GameTimer feature, which 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.
The speakers provide a total of 10 watts of power (5 watts per channel). The integrated virtual surround sound provides a simulated surround effect from sources that contain only a stereo soundtrack when output through the built-in speakers and headphone jack. This is an advantage when playing old DVD movies, or for use with home theaters not equipped with multi-channel playback compatibility.

Digital Picture Zoom - This interactive DVD feature allows you to select an area of the picture you want to zoom in on and magnify it.
