Customer Review: Great Picture and size for bedroom or kid's room.
This TV is great for the intended use as a secondary TV for the bedroom, Den, Cottage, Child's room or wherever the larger versions would be too cumbersome. We recommend it for said uses, but a tad small for living-room viewing, as one might expect. POSITIVES: It's reception of even weak over-the-air stations is quite good with a moderate-gain external antenna, or for local ones, even a straightened paper-clip (SERIOUSLY! :-) ) The color rendition, clarity and definition is above average even when fed by the non-HD output of a Satellite Receiver. When used on the over-the-air HD stations, it is brilliant and no streaking or pixel-hopping. The built-in DVD player works fine and no evidence of problems noted on other side-loading DVD-Players. "Grab" is firm and operation smooth. NEGATIVES or FEATURE-LACKS. As others have noted, the Audio output is pitiful, and have had to go down cellar and get a spare set of Computer Speakers to hear it across a small bedroom, WITH quite a loss in fidelity and some distortion from apparent earphone-out Impedance and PC-Speaker input Impedances (Have tried 2 brands) - Mr Toshiba - you NEED to address that to us owners! 10-degree Tilt angle too small (safety concerns noted) and the viewing-angle too narrow, especially when looking up at the TV on an average-neck-high height bureau from a fairly high bed about 16' away. The image was chocolate-brown looking up at the screen until we stuck a home-made wedge under the rear, being careful to note the balance retention and adding a small safety cord to the wall behind. (It being a corner location, standard TV-Wall-Mounts won't hack it.) As a side note: left-right viewing angles dissapointingly low as well right out of the box. LACK of Video-Outs (Plenty of INPUTS!) to record to VHS or other recording devices a disappointment - S-Video is only one and needed the usual L-R Audio + Analog video outputs. Not a killer problem, but there. BOTTOM LINE: Generally speaking, limitations notwithstanding, it is a decent TV at the price it is sold here at AMAZON and I have no serious regrets that we bought it and had to make accommodations for it's minor nagging shortfalls. Would recommend it to friends with but a few reservations. Tom, NASA-KSC Systems P.E., Ret'd
Customer Review: I want to give this 5 stars... but...
This set is wall mounted in our kitchen. Several other reviews have commented on the built-in audio system. I agree that the combination of very small internal speakers and modest audio power amplifier output make this set occasionally incapable of overcoming common background noise in our kitchen. We are debating whether to drop our C*****t cable subscription, so I am currently looking at the receiver's OTA performance. This set has no signal strength/quality meter. So far, I am satisfied that the tuner sensitivity is adequate, though the two different brands of set-top DTV converters elsewhere in the house have signal meters and seem to perform slightly better when fed marginal signal levels. I'm sure that I will need to add a moderate gain distribution amplifier if we choose to drop cable. For the price, a great picture! So far, the DVD player works.
