Lowest Online Price: $979 See all online prices

Toshiba has entered the flat panel display market with the introduction of two sophisticated new LCD TVs. The 20VL43U offers a bright 20-inch LCD panel with 640 x 480p progressive display. The application of an anti-glare coating on the LCD panel greatly reduces the unwanted effects of direct ambient room light or sunlight. Toshiba’s advanced circuitry ensures a crisp, detailed image no matter how fast the action moves across the screen. A space-saving cabinet design places the speakers in a split-style configuration below the panel. This unique approach lets you adjust the screen angle for perfect viewing without affecting the position of the speakers. SRS sound enhancements make the most of any audio signal with expansive, lifelike stereo sound.

Toshiba LCD Display Technology

Intelligent Digital Scan Conversion
The advanced IDSC scan conversion system, included on all Toshiba HDTV Compatible Color Television models, accepts and identifies varying video signals then routes and processes each signal to ensure optimum display of every signal source. Frame, line and pixel doublers are utilized on lower quality interlaced signals to create a flicker-free full frame display. Hyper-Progressive Scanning continuously analyzes 13,600 points on screen to create smooth edges and eliminate "stairstepping" artifacts. Finally, Advanced Digital Noise Reduction provides a smooth, noise free image from analog signals such as cable TV of VCRs. The result is a sharp, smooth, film-like image without the unwanted noise and artifacts caused by other scan conversion systems.

4-Line Digital Comb Filter
This advanced filter analyzes sequential fields of information to eliminate dot crawl and color bleed. Detail noise, seen as shimmering or flicker in complex or detailed scenes is significantly reduced.

HD Dynamic Contrast - This feature continually analyzes picture information and enhances those parts of the picture with the most detail information which results in a sharper, deeper, more film-like image.

Cinema Mode (3:2 Pulldown Switch) - This circuitry identifies original film based content from DVDs, it then reassembles the frame sequence to more accurately reproduce the original 24 frame film-based material. This process eliminates artifacts and results in sharp, accurate full-frame progressive images.
Audio System Features

StableSound
Television volume is maintained within a preset range regardless of the source signal. This eliminates the annoyance of normal program volume being followed immediately by extremely loud commercial messages or drastic volume fluctuations while changing channels.

SRS® WOW Sound Enhancements
WOW is an exciting new technology from SRS Labs that dramatically improves the quality, dynamics, image field size and bass tones of digital audio. Ordinary stereo performance usually results in limited spatial presentation, and often lack-luster bass performance. With SRS WOW technology, the Toshiba 20LV43U delivers an audio performance with drastically improved imaging, dynamics and immersion.

WOW processed audio creates spatial cues that surrounds the listener with a holographic representation of the performance resulting in a larger image field—a "bigger," more impressive sound with deep, rich bass.

SRS TruBass
TruBass is a patented SRS technology that enhances bass performance by utilizing proprietary psychoacoustic techniques. These techniques restore the perception of fundamental low frequency tones by utilizing the harmonics present in the original audio source to recreate the low bass frequency information – even if this information is below the speaker or headphones low frequency limitations. TruBass delivers the perception of deep rich bass while using small speaker drivers that complement the sleek flat panel design of Toshiba LCD TVs.

SRS FOCUS
FOCUS sound enhancement elevates the sound image field to create the perception of image height, delivering an enlarged sound image with a broad "sweet spot." Additionally, FOCUS improves clarity in the high frequencies and is very immersive for the listener, electronically repositioning the sound field to the optimal position in front of the listener.
Terminals and Connections

ColorStream Component Video Inputs
ColorStream Component Video Inputs are the best analog connections for today's high-resolution digital sources, such as DVD players and Digital Set-Top Boxes. Three cables, Y (Luminance), Pr (Red - Y) and Pb (Blue - Y), deliver a cleaner, clearer signal , resulting in higher resolution and greater color purity for the ultimate in picture quality.

Direct Access of Video Inputs
The television's inputs can be quickly selected without scrolling through all available inputs. With as many as seven inputs available, access speed to your desired source is increased.

Individual A/V Settings for Inputs
All video signals are not created equally. This feature allows the viewer to save video adjustment for each type of input. This ensures optimum display of each type of source.
