Toshiba 19AV501U 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV White The tv arrived promptly. It was easy to set up and worked perfectly right out of the box. Good picture and color.

I bought this Toshiba back in May & I am still very pleased with it. I have two other Toshiba sets and I have never had a minutes problem with them. This TV has a clean high contrast picture and the sound is not bad for a set this size. I like it well enough to give it 5 stars.

Arrived on time, intact and working well. Replaced an old 19" CRT clunker on which the remote was no longer functioning.

I ordered this TV to take advantage of the HDTV channels available over Comcast Cable in the San Francisco Bay area, without having to rent Comcast's pricey cable box. It fills the bill perfectly. Using the default settings, the picture is sharp and contrasty. There's plenty of sound volume. The screen hardly reflects light at all, which is nice since we have a lot of windows. The Natural picture size setting chooses the proper picture width all the time. (I've never figured out why some people view everything in full width, even if it adds 50 pounds to all the people on the screen.) I got a scare when first hooking it up. I ordered it only after a Comcast agent verified that with the built-in QAM tuner it would receive HDTV just by plugging the cable signal into the antenna/cable coax jack. But when first turned on, it only received analog signals. Calling Comcast back, I was told that I would need a $7/month cable box. Fortunately this turned out to be baloney. While my wife was channel-flipping, she started getting HDTV stations too, and now it shows every analog and digital channel, even on my non-digital cable service plan. My wife claims full credit for "fixing" it. I suspect it took a while to lock into some aspect of the cable service. Who knows. So here's two recommendations: Double check everything Comcast tells you. And buy this TV. (Oh - and also see the reviews for the 19AV500U - it's the identical model in black.)

Good Tv ideal, clear image and good resolution its ideal for small spaces like kitchen, rooms, etc. a lot of function and good price and good brand.
