Panasonic - LCD HDTV - 26" Diagonal Widescreen with HDMI Interface, HDMI Cable, & Pedestal Stand
The TC-26LE60 is a limited edition version of Panasonic’s 26 inchdiagonal television. The major difference between this unit and theLX60 version are slightly smaller speakers. The LE60 has two 14 wattper channel speakers rather than the 20 watt ones on the LX. That isreally about the only difference. There is the same 1366 x 768resolution yielding a total pixel count of over a million, and theprogressive scan capability at 480p/730p size gives the same rock solidpicture. The high tech features like Active Light Control, and ActiveContrast/Gamma Control system harness the color output of the pixels,and lead to amazing brilliant colors. The In Plane Switching controlallows the picture to avoid distortion regardless of what your viewingangle. The unit claims a viewing angle of 178 degrees. The 8ms responsetime give the super fast refreshing rate that maximizes the experienceof viewing fast action films and sporting events.
The HDMI-HDCP interface input connector allows you to hook the unitto your Home Theater system with only one cable eliminating the normaltangle of wires normally found behind the components. There is a fullarray of the other input and output connectors including Compositevideo, and S-video ports. The V-Chip programming control is standard onall of the Panasonic LCD, and allows parental control over programming.
The whole package weighs a mere 36.4 pounds, and pulls just a tadmore wattage than a normal light bulb. It is super thin with a depththat is less than six inches. There is a pedestal stand included, andwith its size and viewing angle finding the right place for it is avery minor problem. It will fit pretty much anywhere. The LE model doesnot have a MSRP, and we are advised to contact the individual dealerfor the price. This normally means the model is used for special salesand promotions, and if you come across it that way, it is worth aserious look. Although it does not boast that super large screen sizethat has become so popular these days, it easily outperforms most othermodels in pure picture quality.
