Just ok for bedroom tv.

 

Picture is clear, but small. Audio is very disapointing. Not very loud. But it serves the purpose, small, compact, and decent picture. Should have paid a little more and gotten something with better sound and more connections, and a slightly larger...

SOUND APPALLING

 

In common with almost all other reviewers - the sound is atrocious. Max volume on the remote, especially when playing a DVD is hopelessly inadequate. For this reason I'm moving to a different brand of TV

I can't hear you!!!

 

Great picture, awful audio. I read other people's reviews and saw the same complaint -- at top volume, it's still difficult to hear anything. Why are the speakers located on the BACK????

Poor Volume/Sound

This TV stinks

 

Weak speaker volume. You can only hear it in noise free room. No headphone jack & no audio out..

Disappointed

 

I own a Toshiba computer and have been very happy with it. However, the picture quality of this television was extremely poor even after adjustment. The only way it could be viewed clearly was in the dark.

What did he say?

 

We bought it to replace our old CRT TV in the kitchen. At maximum volume, it is still difficult to hear many times and leads to much frustration. Sometimes you need to run the water in the sink or use the microwave. Forget it if you think you can just...

Audio nightmare

 

At 100% barely audible, no headphone jack.
