The Toshiba 13A26 is a basic 13-inch TV that will be a handy addition to a bedroom, dorm room or even a kitchen. The silver cabinet is not unattractive, and it has a single front-firing speaker located below the standard-format screen. Control buttons, a set of composite video inputs and a headphone jack are also conveniently located on the front of the TV.

The 13A26 presents a bright and lively picture, and the screen is tinted to reduce reflection and improve contrast. Convenience features are what you would expect from a small, bare-bones TV, with an adjustable sleep timer, a game timer, a channel lock and parental V-chip controls. The rear panel has only a single RF input for an antenna or cable source.

The included remote control has buttons that glow in the dark, which can come in handy if this TV is placed in a bedroom. If you don't mind the stripped-down feature list, the 13A26 is a smart purchase for a small TV.


Pros:  Glow-button remote, parental controls
Cons:  Mono speaker, basic features
