This is a personal sized TV with integrated DVD player that weighs next to nothing and is very compact and very easy to use for the most part. The menu structure for selecting input source is more than a little confusing and when power is cut off to the TV all the settings are lost. Toshiba should have had separate button control to switch from one input to the next but bad user interfaces is pretty much the norm with electronic devices and computers. br /br /But for a small and compact TV and DVD player to use where a larger TV and separate DVD player will not fit this is a great alternative. It has standard VESA mount screws so the base can be detached by removing 2 screws and the TV attached to a wall bracket for use. br /br /Volume is adequate for normal listening but not for a home theater experience. For that it would be best to feed the sound out to a separate amplifier and set of speakers. br /br /I have friends who spent thousands installing a LCD monitor and amp and speakers in their RV when this 0 unit would have served the purpose.

After scrutinizing features and pricing for a compact HDTV to replace an older and bulky 14″ CRT, I purchased this unit from Amazon on the reviews alone, even considering models more than twice its price. Now that I’ve had more time to fully review the settings, the Toshiba has proven to be a much higher quality set. Indeed, the reviews are right on target. It is more advanced than the competition for inputs, features and overall ease of operation, including quick setup a well-designed remote. After tweaking the settings, picture quality is outstanding. There was a lot of initial hesitation and disappointment but I guess that’s normal with HDTV, some picture settings can be confusing with the aspect ratios as well coming from SDTV. The higher end range of the digital channels proved the difference, it just takes a bit of playing with the controls to get it “just right.” br /br /Compared with a Vizio 20″ widescreen, Model VX20L, purchased last year from Amazon, the pictures are sharp, colors vivid and the vertical viewing range is greater, the picture doesn’t wash out nearly as much really from any direction. These settings are from hooking up via the cable input alone. Overall settings are more realistic than the Vizio, colors more consistent and the picture is extremely sharp. I agree with other reviewers, colors appear a lot more natural with this set, there’s a big difference watching “NBC Nightly News.” Audio is very good without sharp jumps in volume, very bright with the compressed Dolby Digital output. It’s more than adequate for a bedroom or quiet spaces. The Vizio unit may have stronger bass and Surround Sound but had sharp spikes in volume levels, which proved annoying late at night, not so with the Toshiba. br /br /The Sharp 19″ LC19SB27UT was strongly considered as was the Samsung LN19B650 but were ruled out because of their weak audio. Since reliability seems unpredictable with so many brands now available, it’s really hard to say how any new set will hold out but generally, it pays to get a better brand name and research the reviews. My only further suggestions would be to invest time actually comparing other sets in-store before buying on-line or stick with a brand I liked before. Overall, a surprising purchase. As a consumer of over a dozen TV sets in the past 12 years, I’m a real stickler with quality and try not to show bias with brand preferences yet the best television I’ve ever purchased was a Toshiba flat-screen CRT, circa 2004. Compare the specs for yourself but for sheer dollar value, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better set, at least in this size. No television is perfect but this Toshiba is a real gem, I got a “real deal” at 9.99 and free shipping. Thanks Amazon !!br /br /PROS: Price, compact size, very low power consumption, inputs, ease of setup/menu operation, easy remote, fast tuner (much quicker than Vizio), advanced picture settings, easy channel labeling (a big plus with the digital channels). br /br /CONS: No alarm timer, no auto-volume leveling, weaker bass, no surround sound.

Thanks to all the buyers who took time to review the many TV brands, I was able to become educated about the confusing new world of LCDHD televisions, acronyms and product hypes. Amazon reviews are reliable and are filled with more actual product facts. They are more trustworthy than asking a store salesman for his commission based opinion. In fact, Amazon is my mega store shopping experience. I buy everything possible from Amazon because of the reviews, great pricing, free shipping,return policies.[[ASIN:B001TOD3I2 Toshiba 22AV600U 22-Inch 720p Portable LCD HDTV, Black]br /I ended my expensive relationship with Direct TV and needed to learn about “Rabbit Ears”.

The other reviews of this TV pretty much covered its strengths and few weaknesses, the unusually slow tuner function being the only somewhat negative point. My reason for adding any comments is to mention another 15 inch LCD TV that does not fare so well. I replaced a year-old Dynex DX-L15 with the Toshiba. The Dynex set had at least 6 non-functioning pixels (LCD’s) that became especially irritating over time. Stay away from that product. It may have had a lower initial cost, but that was its only positive point. This is my third Toshiba HD (or HD ready) TV and I have not yet been disappointed by any of them. The 15 inch produces vivid color and crisp detail. The remote is a bit awkward, as other Toshiba remotes tend to be, but once you get the hang of it, no better nor worse than any other. This is a well-designed and appealing small set, suitable for close-up viewing and with a lot of flexibility and features for the price. I suppose they could have included an HDMI input, but the thinking was probably with a built-in DVD player (which operates smoothly and produces an excellent picture), why would it be necessary? Overall, the best small-screen TV on the market, in my opinion.

I am very pleased with this little TV set–It fits perfectly in my bed room without being obtrusive. I had a bit of trouble setting it up because I am Tech. challenged ( that is why I have an Apple computer–free 1 on 1 lessons ) The good folks at Direct TV had me up and running in a few minutes via the phone–a corded phone to boot !!!!! It has decent sound quality–loud enough . Some reviewers complained it was not loud enough. They may consider going to an audiologist–I have not had it long enough to comment on battery life. It is perfect for its intended use–it was never designed to be a sound surround audio and visual experience—they have movie houses for that …

I havbe no problem with owning this item. It’s exactly what I needed when I bought it. It has been on almost continually since I set it up and done exactly what it is supposed to do. It has a bright, clear, and clean picture. The stereo sound is good. The DVD player works without hesitation and in alll honesty, I cannot tell you that I have any regrets in the purchase of this item. If I must list any complaint about it, it would be that the sound volume on some channels that I view appears to be lower than others. I seriously doubt that it’s the cause of anything to do with the television receiver as opposed to the cable company’s failure to check their sending levels. The channel changer may appear to be somewhat slow in changing channels, but even that is negligable. When you consider the overall operation of this device, I cannot say to anyone “do not buy it”. The price was good, the operation is excellent and I am currently seriously considering buying another one exactly like it to put in my bedroom. It’s a good item…well made and I don’t believe that you will regret it.

Well, more like Japan, F*** YEAH!! This TV is everything I thought it would be. I had been researching flat screen’s for weeks, and I finally setteled on this because it was the biggest screen I could get for the money. The TV arrived 2 days after placing the order and it was extremely easy to set up. From the time I openend the box until the time I was laying in bed and watching was probably about 15 minutes. The picture quality from my Playstation 3 via a HDMI cable (do not be suckered into paying for an expensive HDMI) looks beautiful. I just swapped out my old cable box for an HD box so I cant wait to see how that looks. My only complaint would be that I was having issues with the VGA cable I purchased to hook my PC up to it. The TV will not always recognize the PC linkup and I have to spend 20 minutes jiggling the cable around. I am guessing that the issue lies with the cable itself and not the TV. I will purchase a better quality cable and see how that works. Other than that, as I stated before, this TV is awesome. The people who say this is good for the spare bedroom must make alot more money than I do because I could not see myself putting this in a guest bedroom unless my guest was some sort of foreign dignitary.

I’ve had my Toshiba for a week now and it is an excellent toy. It looks sleek, has a fantastic HD picture (for 60hz) and all the features I need. It was a snap to hookup my laptop, a Blu-ray player, and the HD cable box to the TV. All connect to the TV using HDMI inputs, through HDMI cables purchased here on Amazon.com. It all works flawlessly. I can watch cable, switch to the laptop to look something up on Wikipedia, then switch again to a DVD.
The picture on HD content is superb. The sound is fine and gets plenty loud. The TV has “regza-link” functionality, which means the remote can control other devices that are regza-link compliant. My simultaneously purchased Toshiba BDX2000 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player is such a device, so I can control it *and* the TV with the TV remote. I like that.
So that’s my testimonial toward the quality. The other aspect of my praise goes toward the incredible sense of pride in scoring such an amazing deal. 1080p? 0? And it competes handsomely with more expensive models? Done. Get it – you’ll be happy.

I got this item on a Gold Box special, so I ordered quickly with no reviews posted. Then I saw a lot of negative comments in the Gold Box section, especially regarding the sound quality. I have had the TV for less than 24 hours so I am not going to be able to provide an in-depth review, but I will say my fears were unfounded. For 9, no shipping charges, I could not have done better. The sound is fine. The picture is beautiful. The TV is attractive and not heavy. The remote is difficult to program and we are still working on that. We are not yet able to get all of the info on shows we got from our original Dish remote, but we are down to one remote rather than the two we had previously.
Several others asked about computer usage, and I have not tried to do this although it looks like it is equipped for this use. I don’t have any reason to believe that picture-in-picture capacity exists, but who knows?
My point in the quick posting is that there is a lot of negative reaction to this product, and I wanted to report a positive experience. The most common comment was that the sound got garbled after a few hours use, and this has not occurred in its first day of performance. My old set had lousy sound, so this is a major improvement.
Good luck! And, by the way, I ordered it on Fri morning and received it Sat night…on Super Saver Shipping…bravo!
