Good TV for the price

At 20", this set is the perfect size for a guest room or bedroom, but I wouldn't recommend it as your main television. Its dimensions fit fairly easily into a cabinet, but I found that it is a little larger than it needs to be. The bottom buttons are...

Nice picture, many features, easy DVD access

Lousy sound control. Blanks between channels.

Great picture, bad ergonomics

I picked this TV up the other day, it looked great and worked well. However the remote control is very badly laid out. For instance you will never find the volume control in the dark unless you memorize exactly how many buttons down and over it is. ...

A good choice-- IF . . .

The video quality is fine; the flat screen is appealing; and the styling is certainly handsome and contemporary. The remote control is another story. The layout of the keypad is counter-intuitive--tiny buttons arranged haphazardly around the keypad. ....

TV/DVD Combo

The TV is super sharp and clear and it plays DVD like a champ. The only thing I found not up to par was the fact that the speakers, being mounted in the TV and so close together, do not offer the audio equivalent of stereo sound. The unit really needs...

Picture quality is good

I bought this TV for my bedroom and I have to say that picture quality is pretty good screen being flat also helps. However I'm really disappointed with Toshiba that they don't include Close Caption with DVD. You do not have close caption when watching...
