Having moved across country temporarily to find the furnished apartment furnished with an ancient tiny TV, I set myself the task of finding an affordable interim replacement. My "real" TV is a larger sized LCD Samsung and I have been very happy with it for the last two years, so I was not hesitant to get another Samsung, especially with the good reviews of this model. I was not disappointed! This TV has a beautiful picture. It is crisp, clear, responsive (for video games), and has great color.
The sound, oddly enough, is much better than my bigger Samsung. Perhaps Samsung has inconsistent speaker quality? I noticed some other reviewers complaining about the speakers, but I really find the sound quality to be quite clear and rich for such a small TV. Makes me think if I were to buy another and got crappy sound, I'd either return the TV or have Samsung fix it.
I've noticed that the menu options and firmware, while closely resembling those of my older TV, are in fact much improved. The channel

I decided to return this Sony Bravia TV- immediately after reading the install instructions and before plugging it in. The reason? Sony's ridiculous solution and instructions for making sure the TV doesn't fall over if one chooses not to hang it on the wall and, instead, chooses their second choice of trying to prop it up on a flat surface with the stupidly tiny prop they provide with the 19" Bravia. Their "safety" instructions for using their silly little prop say to drill holes in my fine furniture on which it will sit and to screw the tiny prop down to the furniture. They also suggest you attach a cord to the top back of the TV and tie the cord to a hook screwed into the wall behind it. How dumb is that??? You tell me. I originally decided to buy a lightweight, 19" LCD HDTV so that I could pick it up and move it around the house if and when I chose to. That silly, tiny prop is the dumbest idea I've seen in a long, long time. I've long admired and purchased Sony products for

I have to enter a caveat for my review upfront--we're a minimal technology family tv-wise--we just watch VHS and DVD. We had to upgrade from a 13-inch picture-tube tv from the early 90s, though!! This tv fit the bill. We're really happy with the crisp picture, the sound, and the size of the screen vs. how much room it takes up--a lot of picture for a little footprint. We have a bigger screen Sony elsewhere in the house, and the kids seem to prefer this one. A terrific buy from Amazon!

I was hesitant to buy this TV mainly, believe it or not, because of the sticker problem some others had after purchasing their TV's. Apparently, there were enough complaints that Samsung has done away with that sticker completely, thank goodness. Or maybe I just got lucky. I bought this for use as a bedroom television and it's got a great picture even simply hooked up to basic cable. Sound is wonderful, but as I said, it's a bedroom TV, so it doesn't need to be very loud. I'm very pleased with this purchase.

I only wish I would have purchased this Samsung 19" HDTV sooner. After my small analog kitchen TV "bit the dust" last winter, I convinced myself I really did not need a kitchen TV. WRONG....that is where I am most of the time while everyone else is visiting and watching the games, poor me. lol... Well any way, my husband and I looked at every 10" HDTV on the market and finally selected this Samsung. Perfect choice!!! It is clear, sharp, with excellent sound that completes the package. It fits perfectly under my kitchen cupboards...no glare from anywhere. Love this product, if I needed another TV, this would be the "go to" TV. You will NOT be disappointed.

We were looking for a small 19 to 22 inch LCD for the bedroom. The Samsung had good reviews both here and at CR. Yes, the picture is great. BUT the sound isn't up to par even for a small TV. The stand is a pain to adjust. You are to put the TV face down on something, press against the back, push a button, and swivel the stand into place. (Bizarre.) Then there's the sticker. Who would put a gooey sticker on the frame of a TV? Well, Samsung seems to think it's a great idea. Peel the sticker off and you're left with a sticky residue on the plastic frame. You'll need Oops to remove it, I'm told. (Bizarre, again.) And then there's the tiny little buttons on the front-facing right frame. Accidentally touch the side of the TV to adjust the position and you will likely hit a button and get a menu appearing on the screen.

This is a pretty good TV. It looks nice and has good features. The sounds is great. The delay time when changing channels is better than on my other flat-screen TV. The picture quality is very good -- that is when you are right in front of the TV. Once you go to the side or lower than the screen, the picture QUICKLY fades to black. I got this TV for my bathroom & mounted it on the wall. I frequently cannot see the picture -- fortunately since I am not really watching TV for any length of time in the bathroom, it is not a huge issue for me. However, you want this for a bedroom, make sure you will be viewing from eye-level, directly to the front of the screen otherwise you may not be happy with this set.

We're using this TV in our kitchen and the remote is often tucked in a drawer. The controls for tuning and volume are on the left side of this tv. Toshiba made no effort to make the controls identifiable by feel, and the labeling of the controls is low contrast, so when you're not using the remote the TV's frustrating to operate. Sound volume is marginal and tuning response is very slow. Picture quality is good and the product looks good.

I purchased this product from Amazon in July. Out of the box it was broken. The tv did not get any audio on certain channels. One channel had the video of one picture and the audio from another. I sent it back and got a replacement. BIG MISTAKE. The second one arrived. It worked great for about a month. Then BAM - same problem. On some channels, no audio, mixed audio/video on the same channel as before. Plus, on some channels the audio levels rise and lower for no apparent reason -- so one minute it's fine and then the next thing you know the tv is so loud it makes you jump.
Amazon is not standing by this and will only offer me a partial refund since I called 3 days after their return policy ran out. I now have had to call Samsung and will have to bring it to a service center for repair. Be careful buying tv's from Amazon since they do not stand by the quality of the merchandise they sell. THIS TV IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED.

My mom needed a replacement TV for her kitchen, had to fit in a fairly small space, so this is the biggest that would fit. The most important thing was that it include a tuner, so it can take a straight cable feed with no box. Also that it do a good job with plain old standard definition, which is what is watched 99% of the time.
This TV is excellent! SD picture is fantastic! HD looks good (I've never seen an HD picture that looks really bad, have you?). Only complaint, slight "glow" around the edges when a black screen is displayed. Mom doesn't notice and does not care, for her its perfect.
Tuner did a good job of finding all cable signals (including the strange 80.1, 80.2, etc channels). But it was also smart enough to go back and DELETE all the ones that are scrambled. So even though the setup takes a while, when you are done, its all set, and you don't have to manually delete scrambled channels, very clever.
Remote control is basic and functional. Nothing fancy, and nothing fancy

This tv is beautiful and easy to set up.The worst of it is that it's best viewed when fully vertical, and the prop in the back isn't long enough for that, so I needed a piece of wood under it to raise it. It doesn't have its verticality worked out - unless you mount it on a wall. It has outlets and inlets for seemingly any device, and suggests hookups. It's been a daily part of my life for a month, and it's beautiful, and easy to control and hook up. I would highly recommend it.

It is every bit as good as it is advertised. We are very pleased with it. Toshiba is a good brand and we have had excellant luck with other Toshiba products.

Seemed like a decent TV until after 2 weeks of use and turned on and the picture went white. Called Toshiba customer service and, on my nickel had to send the TV to the service center. Still waiting to get back or any word regarding problem. Not an impressive start for a $400 TV.

I am pretty happy with this TV; I've had it for about 2 months. The TV takes up very little space and is lightweight--wall mounting is easy. The built-in speakers are pretty awful though. Sound quality is about the same as an iPhone's built-in speakers.
Component video from a non-upconverting DVD player looks pretty good. The TV has one HDMI input.
Perhaps my biggest disappointment was the remote: I had hoped the TV remote would be useful for controlling both the Samsung TV and a Samsung DVD player--but the remote doesn't have controls for anything other than the TV. This means either accepting life with two remotes or buying a separate universal remote.
Strolling through Best Buy lately, I've seen comparable TVs for significantly less money. I'd recommend shopping around more than I did--I feel that I paid a little bit too much for what I got.

The picture is sharp and clear and the sound is amazing. I hung it in the kitchen with an articulated arm and everyone at the table gets a good view at the screen. The picture doesn't fade out when looking at it at almost any angle and the color is terrific. I highly recommend this TV for a big picture with a tiny footprint in any room in the house.

I received the Toshiba 19LV505 yesterday. After spending much time researching 19" flat screens I took a chance with this model. We plan to put this in our country kitchen as we inserted a pellet stove for the winter.
First may I say I shy away from writing reviews. The TV is so much more then expected and deserved the time to let people know. We have it hooked up to Comcast with just the antenna (no box). The Digital stations look as fine as those on our HD Sony Wega. Analog stations come in with digital quality. After reading other reviews I was concerned with the volume. My husband is hard of hearding yet volume is strong enough for him. The DVD is an added bonus on this unit. I tried the DVD today and it works great.

The aspect ratio on this TV is not true 16:9, it's closer to 16:10. This means any DVDs or other video source material that is 16:9 will be stretched vertically. Some people might not even notice, but I am using this TV as a cheap video monitor for editing, and I will be sending it back. It's absolutely idiotic how little thought these companies put into consumer products.
If you don't mid the aspect issue, the picture & contrast are good, motion handling and blur are average.

Got this for the bedroom, and I just love it. The sound is great and has an excellent picture. The down side is the remote is not arranged very good, hard to find the channel return button, and it takes a long time to go to the next channel.

We bought this TV/DVD combo for use in a motorhome - it looked like a good solution for us. The picture and build quality were great but the sound level was very low, especially when playing a DVD. In an RV there is usually ambient noise from the A/C and kitchen appliances - these totally overwhealm the TV sound, even at it's highest setting. It is surprising that Toshiba would put so much work into a high quality product then get the sound system wrong. It would probably be fine in a small, quiet office but it didn't work for us.
