 Toshiba 15.6 inch LCD TV January 6, 2009
S. Necessary
We received the TV quickly, packaged well and in perfect condition. I feel safe ordering directly from Amazon and would not hesitate to do so again.

Gail (Champaign, IL USA)
Very pleased with the quality of the picture and the added fact that a DVD player was on the TV.
Very nice looking on my kitchen counter. I also bought another one at about the same time.
 Great little TV January 6, 2009

I am very satisfied with my 15 inch Toshiba TV. The picture is bright, the sound is good and the DVD is very easy to use. I would recommend this product.

I'm far from being a "techie," but within a few minutes of removing this item from the box, plugging it into the wall, and attaching an ordinary RF coaxial cable, I was commander of a media empire (with nary a glance at the instruction manual). First of all, this thing is remarkably light, compact, and transportable. Even though it was delegated to replace the aging Emerson 13" TV in our kitchen, I can't think of anything I would rather take with me to another room, my desk, or on a trip. As is the case with any flat LCD screen, it doesn't "play" as large as its cathode ray equivalent. (For example, If you want to experience the effect of your old 27" big tube TV, you'll need at least a 37" LCD display--not just because of aspect ratio but the bright, "deep," life-like quality that is unique to the "picture-tube" television sets of yore.) So given the shallow profile of this baby, don't be surprised if you find yourself second-guessing whether or not you should have sprung for the 19"-20" model.
Nevertheless, once you've lit up this little Toshiba, chances are you won't want to let it go. It doesn't have HDMI inputs--just coax, S-Video, and 3-color component video. Yet with a screen this small, clarity and brightness are never an issue. Even with an ordinary coax connection, the images are as crisp and sharply defined as the "enhanced" signals at a Best Buy or Sears TV department, the colors are vivid yet complex, and the audio is not only clear but, if you move close enough to the set, persuasively stereophonic from the viewer's perspective.
I have a big Sony flat screen that takes me 10 minutes to adjust the TV menu, then the set-top box, then the 3 remotes, and by the time I find my way through the plethora of Time-Warner channels, I've missed the opening skit to SNL. The Toshiba, on the other hand, keeps the analog and hi-def channels together under a single numerical rubric. In other words, when I call up channel 36, the first program I see is the analog signal. Then I hit channel up again, but instead of 37 it takes me to 36-1, the digital, hi-def program being offered by the same station (the change is dramatic enough to make me appreciate hi-def, 16:9 ratio programming for the first time). Hit channel up again, and it takes me to 36-2, then 36-3 (all the way up to 36-7, which is a weather program, and 36-8, which is 24/7 jazz programming).
The audio is acceptable for dialog. There's no distortion or "canned" quality, though for listening to Bernard Herrmann's score to "Vertigo" (the first DVD I fed the machine), I might give some consideration to using audio "out" for headphones or a hi-fi system. For most purposes, the sound is just fine. The remote, moreover, is bigger and friendlier than those coming with sets costing 5-10 times as much (yet this is one set for which the remote is an unneeded luxury).
In sum, simplicity, practicality, price and state-of-the-art technology tell me this is a "gadget" to own--if only because it doesn't look or behave like one.

The picture is very good, the sound is good for such a small TV. I am happy with the purchase.
