The big deal in the world of television is the move toward larger and larger screen size. The TC-23LX60 has a screen size of only 23”, and seems a little outsized by the much larger models around it. It is in the area of picture quality that this unit justifies its price. The resolution size is still 1366 x 768 giving a total pixel count of 1,049,088. All of the pixel quality controls are included also. The In Plane Switching control (IPS) gives an exceptional viewing angle, and along with the 9ms response time allows fast action programming such as sporting events to project with no distortion. The Active Light Control and the Active Contrast/Gamma Control System keep the pixels firing and allowing for some of the most brilliant and lifelike colors ever seen on any television.

The HDMI-HDCP interface connector allows one cable connection that does away with the tangle of wires behind most Home Theater systems. All of the standard input and output ports are also included giving you complete versatility in your set up. The speakers are Surround Sound, but only 8 watt per channel. This is a big drop from the more powerful 20 watt speakers on the larger screen LCD, but is a better match for the smaller size screen. The V-Chip program controller is included to give you the ability to lock out offensive programming.

You are going to see what is arguably the best picture on any television in the world, and the unit pulls only 92 watts of power, less than many light bulbs, and weighs a mere 24.3 pounds. The thin screen is less than six inches in depth, and with the pedestal stand that is included can be placed anywhere in any size room. There are many factors that go into the choice of the right model television for the right size room and the right budget. The TC-LX2360 seems more suited for smaller rooms and dens because of its size. It does not take a back seat to any television in the quality of its amazingly life like picture, however, and packs a lot of features into its small package.
