 Great Little TV January 8, 2009
I bought this for use in my home office and it works very well. It looks excellent and the picture is fine. I think the price is good too.
 A STYLISH LOOKING TV BUT POOR ON QUALITY. January 2, 2009
This little Toshiba is my new replacement for a Bush freeview 15' Crt for my small Bedroom. I had high hopes for this as my previous Set was fine but just to small and not widescreen. On a quick inspection this looks great and has a stylish black curved frame with a movable stand. It's also heavy at 8.7 Kg so I thought this was a real quality item !. However it only has one HDMI input and three AV with one Scart so it's limited. This does seem the norm for these smaller screens so it's no big deal in the long run. The on-screen menus are clear and easy to read and the first set-up takes it moments. I have yet to connect this to my Sony PS3 so I can't comment on the picture output from the console on HDMI.
My major gripe like many other reviewers is over the rubbish sound which is appalling to say the least. My Dvd movies sound crackly and muffled even at higher than normal volume levels, which drives me crazy with frustration. And no matter how many times you try to change the levels it makes no difference. The picture also isn't great as it seems to wash out colours ,and looks blurry as if a net gauze has been placed over the screen. On freeview again it's not the best but the signal from digital is of poor quality anyway even on a high grade rooftop ariel which I have. All in all this isn't the best buy and I can't recommend this to anyone to tell the truth. I have since taken this back to the shop and had it replaced with a Samsung 19' which I hope will deliver the good's so to speak.
 very poor from Toshiba/great service from Amazon January 1, 2009
Toshiba 19AV505 - 19" Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV - With Freeview - Black
I bought this great looking tv from amazon a few weeks ago for a great price.However, having successfully wall mounted the tv there were 2 major problems;3 dead pixels;once you've noticed them they glare out at you like tiny headlights! I see another reviewer had the same problem. Furthermore,the sound was appalling;very poor quality even for a small tv in the kitchen. Of course, I returned the item via Amazon's excellent return service at the same time as ordering a Samsung 19" via Amazon;this is less pretty,but with good sound,great picture & no dead pixels!!
So, sorry Toshiba,but well done Amazon!
sound quality unbelievably bad December 28, 2008

This TV looks good and no complaints about the picture quality. However, the sound is unbelievably bad for a brand name like Toshiba. It has all the tone controls and even a bass boost but the sound is still tinny and worse than I would expect to hear from a brand I haven't heard of. On a minor point I find the channels very slow to change over and would have preferred larger buttons for the volume and channel up and down selection - we are using this in the bedroom so this would make it easier to find with only the light from the TV to help. This was a present to us but had it not been I would definitely be attempting to return it in exchange for some other brand with decent sound.
UPDATE TO MY REVIEW:
After using this for a week I became increasingly irritated with the fact that when skipping through the channels the only info you get is the channel name and no info on what the name of the programme is. On the EPG all you get is the programme title with no info on what it's about. On all the other digital TVs or Freeview boxes I have seen you get the programme name as well as the channel name or number when channel hopping and a brief bit of info when going through the EPG. This got so irritating that I have now installed the old Sony Freeview box that was connected to the last CRT TV and view everything through that - extra small box on the bedroom cabinet but better than throwing the TV through the window in a rage!!
green pixels November 30, 2008

Good value TV but the first one had a permanent green dot on the screen. I returned it for a second one....this too had pixel damage so a permamnet green dot was visible from 10 yards away.
Amazon's returns policy does not allow a third attempt so it's money back and try for the Samsung alternative which is a little cheaper!
