I bought this TV not too long ago. And so far, its been a positive experience. For the past 5 years, I have been using this tiny little 15 inch Magnavox TV. Granted, the old TV is still in working condition, even though the closed captions are permanently stuck on. But it was time to upgrade. An Xbox 360 cannot be used to its full potential on a tiny little standard definition TV.

So after some research and looking around, I came across this TV. I heard Toshiba was a reliable brand, so I went for it. I wasn't disappointed. I'm going to categorize some key points on what I thought of this TV.

INPUTS: First thing that drew me to the TV is the inputs. The disappointing thing about TVs in this size range is that they have usually only have 1 of each input (HDMI, composite, etc). However, this TV has basically two of every input except VGA and S-Video, which it only has 1 of each (however you generally do not need more than one of those anyway). So if you have a lot of devices that need to be plugged in, you will have plenty of inputs without needing an external switch. Also, I will note, do not spend more than $10 for a HDMI cable. A cheap one off of Amazon will do just as well as a Monster Cable one. Also, you can use a computer's DVI out on this TV as well. All you need is a DVI-HDMI cable and the TV will treat it as a HD source.

PICTURE: The picture is vibrant and bright for most conditions. Granted that you set it up right. I used one of those "THX Optimizers" that come on Pixar DVD's. It will walk you through setting up the the brightness and contrast, since those are the most critical parts of setting up an HDTV. It will make blacks as close to black as possible and colors not washed out. Remember, brighter, does not make a better picture! Also, it does have a feature to make analog cable channels have a little less static which makes them look somewhat better. It also has a "gaming mode" which will disable unnecessary video processing features in order to reduce the TVs response time, which is good for gamers. If you want to use this TV as a computer monitor, make sure you set the TV to "Dot by Dot" in the picture size settings. This will ensure you have a perfect 1:1 pixel ratio, like on a standard computer monitor, which will prevent text front getting blurred.

AUDIO: The speakers are decent. You really can't expect great speakers out of small TVs, especially flat panel ones. However, they are good enough for everyday use. However, if you can, take advantage of audio out. You can plug it into a stereo or some computer speakers and get some great sound. The audio out volume is also controlled by the TV. The TV also features a digital optical audio out along with analog stereo out. NOTE: This TV does NOT have a headphone jack out! However, you CAN use the analog stereo out as a headphone jack with an adapter.

Overall I am completely satisfied with this product. I will probably recommend this to a friend since his old TV just died on him!

Knowing nothing about flat screen TV's, I bought this based on price and product reviews. I am using it with a rabbit ears antenna in my office and therefore have limited knowledge of the full capabilities. However, for my purposes, it works great. I am not able to pick up one (major) local channel and not sure if that is because the signal from the station is weak or a TV issue. I have contacted the station to find out if they know what this is about. Amazon service was efficient and fast. I am very happy with this purchase.

I have Comcast cable in Mass., and like another reviewer I was surprised how many channels including HD it picked up during channel search. More than any other TV or VCR in the house without a digital cable box.
Small TVs often have trouble fitting speaker systems into the available space, but this one is fine. I have it in my bedroom and have not put the sound higher than 30% from the lowest setting, even when doing tasks like folding clothes and watching while my son uses the main TV for video games 20 feet away.
Maybe more of an issue with my cable carrier than the TV, I have 2 or 3 locations for each channel, a regular a digital, and in some cases an HD. So I have to remove a lot of channels from the active list. The 'regular' ones have their titles like 'Bravo' and "TNT" but I have to add those names to the digital stations which are on some odd number like 75-2 but are the ones I want to keep.
The TV permits custom labeling so I can add CH 55 for name of channel, I just wish the click to remove unwanted channels from the lineup was in the same menu as naming a channel, so I could make my lineup short and descriptive easily.
It also permits a small menu of favorites, but the Fav key doesn't toggle thru the list; one has to move one's hand from the Fav button to the arrow buttons surrounding the circle.
Laying in bed in the dark it would be handy to toggle thru 10 or 15 Fav channels by pressing one button over and over rather than blindly hunt for the arrow keys after hitting the Fav button, which times out before a newbie like me can find the right arrow. Maybe I'll get faster.
I too viewed several TVs at Best Buy prior to buying, and this one had better detail and color rendition than most of the others. I'm going to wall mount it one of these days. It is made with metric screw threads all over, but the TV comes with 4 screws in the mount holes because most US homes don't have a stash of metric screws, a very customer-friendly thing to do.
