I have a wall that is pretty much all windows and two skylights.  While I do have blackout curtains on all the windows and skylights they aren&#8217;t perfect and my loft is far from dark during the day.  The projector was somewhat usable but the picture was definitely dim.  It was then that I decided that I was going to get myself a nice flat panel TV.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/moesrealm.com\/img\/toshiba-52hl167-01-large.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[107]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/moesrealm.com\/img\/toshiba-52hl167-01.jpg\" title=\"Toshiba 52HL167\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was trying to keep my budget under a thousand dollars and was hoping to keep that closer to seven hundred.  I did tons of shopping around and watched deals for weeks.  I was really hoping to get a 46&#8243; TV but I was afraid I was going to end up with a 42&#8243;.  I had a couple criteria as well, the TV had to have HDMI and be 1080P.  Anyway, I was watching the deal sites like a hawk and then I saw an ad on <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=ume6vI3m0n4&#038;offerid=102327.10000025&#038;type=3&#038;subid=0\" >TigerDirect.com<\/a><IMG border=0 width=1 height=1 src=\"http:\/\/ad.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/show?id=ume6vI3m0n4&#038;bids=102327.10000025&#038;type=3&#038;subid=0\" > for the Toshiba 52HL167, which is a 52&#8243; model, for $999.96.  I have a 32&#8243; Toshiba TV in my bedroom that I&#8217;ve been very happy with, I did some quick searching around on the net for the Toshiba 52HL167 and it had generally favorable reviews.  While I was expecting to get a 46&#8243; or a 42&#8243; TV I was really hoping to find something at least 50&#8243; as I thought that was around the sweet spot for size considering my seating position, I just really didn&#8217;t think I&#8217;d find one in my budget.  So, when I saw the Toshiba 52HL167 for under a grand I jumped on it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/moesrealm.com\/img\/toshiba-52hl167-02-large.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[107]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/moesrealm.com\/img\/toshiba-52hl167-02.jpg\" title=\"Toshiba 52HL167\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"287\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been very happy with my Toshiba 52HL167, I think it puts out a great picture.  Sure it&#8217;s not 120hz, but that hasn&#8217;t been an issue for me at all for either movies or games.  It&#8217;s really nice having a &#8220;little&#8221; TV, it&#8217;s great for when I just want to have a TV on in the background, check something really quick, watch TV during the day, etc.  I actually find myself watching it quite a bit, even when it&#8217;s dark enough to be using the projector.  The projector always gets used for my favorite TV shows and movies but if I am just milling about watching TV at night often times I am just watching the TV.  <\/p>\n<h1>Toshiba 52HL167 LCD TV Specifications<\/h2>\n<p>Key Features<br \/>\n<strong>Screen Size:<\/strong>\t52 in.<br \/>\n<strong>Television Technology:<\/strong>\tLCD<br \/>\n<strong>Supported Resolution:<\/strong>\t1080p<br \/>\n<strong>Supported Standards:<\/strong>\tHDMI<br \/>\n<strong>Form Factor:<\/strong>\tWidescreen<br \/>\n<strong>HDMI Type:\t<\/strong>HDMI Type A<br \/>\n<strong>Connector Types:\t<\/strong>Audio line-in, Audio line-out, Composite video\/audio input, VGA input, Digital audio output (optical), HD component input, HDMI, S-Video input<br \/>\n<strong>TV Standard:<\/strong>\tHDTV<br \/>\n<strong>Sound Supported:<\/strong>\tStereo<br \/>\n<strong>PC Compatible:<\/strong>\tYes<br \/>\n<strong>HDTV Ready:<\/strong>\tYes<br \/>\n<strong>Depth:<\/strong>\t5.1 in.<br \/>\n<strong>Height:<\/strong>\t31.2 in.<br \/>\n<strong>Width:<\/strong>\t50.4 in.<br \/>\nDisplay Features<br \/>\n<strong>Aspect Ratio:<\/strong>\t16:9<br \/>\n<strong>Display Resolution:<\/strong>\t1920 x 1080<br \/>\n<strong>Widescreen Modes:<\/strong>\tConventional 4:3, 16:9<br \/>\nTuner Features<br \/>\n<strong>TV Tuner Type:<\/strong>\tYes<br \/>\n<strong>Picture In Picture:<\/strong>\tYes<br \/>\n<strong>Picture in Picture Type:\t<\/strong>POP<br \/>\nAudio Features<br \/>\n<strong>Audio Format Supported:<\/strong>\tStereo<br \/>\nAdditional Features<br \/>\n<strong>HDMI:<\/strong>\tYes<br \/>\n<strong>Additional Features:<\/strong>\tColorstream Component Video Input, Channel Labeling, Video Noise Reduction, Cinespeed, Ce-link, Dynalight, Colorburst, Pixelpure3g, On-screen Menu<br \/>\nAccessories<br \/>\n<strong>Remote Control:<\/strong>\tUniversal remote control<br \/>\nConnectors<br \/>\n<strong>Connectors:<\/strong>\tAudio line-in, Audio line-out, Composite video\/audio input, VGA input, Digital audio output (optical), HD component input, HDMI, S-Video input<br \/>\n<strong>HDMI:<\/strong>\t3 x HDMI ( 19 pin HDMI Type A ) &#8211; rear<br \/>\nS-Video Connectors:\t1 x S-Video input ( 4 pin mini-DIN ) &#8211; rear<br \/>\n<strong>RCA Connectors:<\/strong>1 x composite video\/audio input ( RCA phono x 3 ) &#8211; rear, 3 x audio line-in ( RCA phono x 2 ) &#8211; rear, 1 x audio line-out ( RCA phono x 2 ) &#8211; rear, 1 x composite video\/audio input ( RCA phono x 3 ) &#8211; side<br \/>\n<strong>Component Connectors:<\/strong>\t2 x HD component input ( RCA phono x 3 ) &#8211; rear<br \/>\n<strong>Digital Optical Connectors:<\/strong>\t1 x digital audio output (optical) ( TOSLINK ) &#8211; rear<br \/>\n<strong>Other Connectors Total (Free) \/ Type:<\/strong>\t3 x HDMI ( 19 pin HDMI Type A ) &#8211; rear, 1 x VGA input ( 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15) ) &#8211; rear, 1 x digital audio output (optical) ( TOSLINK ) &#8211; rear<br \/>\nGeneral Product Info<br \/>\n<strong>Exterior Color:<\/strong>\tGloss black<br \/>\n<strong>Television Type:<\/strong>LCD TV<br \/>\n<strong>Weight:<\/strong>\t89.7 lbs.<br \/>\n<strong>Dimension:<\/strong>\t31.2 in. x 50.4 in. x 5.1 in.(HxWxD)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I moved into my new place I knew right away that light control was going to be a major issue.
