 Great little TV September 17, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a great little TV for fairly close viewing (have it in the kitchen). Very sharp picture, works great right out of the box - no need to fine-tune etc. Easy to wall mount. Built-in digital tuner - automatically found both digital and analog channels on the cable.
Negatives: Not much - too many buttons on the remote (what else is new??).

This is definitely a great tv for the price, good imagine (you can even adjust the level in case of the back you get from screens) even the sounds is ok. It takes a while to come up once you turn it on, but it's just a matter to get used to it. I would definitely recommend it to anybody that is looking for a good tv at this kind of price. No complains at all, I'm very happy with my purchase.
Answer to 16:10 Aspect Ratio Controversy September 7, 2008
21 out of 23 found this review helpful
All 19 inch HDTV's regardless of brand have a 16:10 aspect ratio.
This is because 19 inch computer monitors are 16:10 and they out number televisions by the billions.
To keep the cost down TV makers buy the same LCD panels made for computer monitors. Unless you would pay $1000 for a 19 inch set, I doubt any company will ever custom order a 16:9 panel for television manufacture.
A lot of these TV's can be set to 16:9. There will be a small black bar on the right and left edges since the panel is wider. But a lot of people hate the black bar, so there you go..
The reviewer here who was returning the TV because of this "defect" will be sadly disapointed when he buys a new 19 inch set and discovers it is also 16:10
Great little LCD TV August 31, 2008

We wanted a small Toshiba LCD HDTV for the kitchen to replace our small, but bulky, CRT TV. The new one works great. We ordered it in white to match the kitchen appliances. Love it. Simple and very easy to set up and operate. Note: The new remote also operates our larger living room Toshiba Regza HDTV we ordered from Amazon. Now, The wife has her remote and I have my remote that operates both Toshiba TVs.

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.
