Toshiba 19AV600U 19-Inch 720p Portable LCD HDTV review

Great little TV for the money!, May 1, 2009

I compared the picture quality of the Toshiba 19AV600U side by side with Samsung (at our local Best Buy) after tweaking both to their maximum quality and the Toshiba had truer colors with accurate flesh tones, probably due to the 10 bit color. The sound was also much better (and louder) than other TV's of the same size. If you can live without the headphone jack, then this will be a great choice, especially for a small bedroom or kitchen.

One more thing that impressed me and my daughter was how the TV cleaned up the standard analog cable channels, apparently due to the noise reduction feature, which we put on high. Some of the channels even look as good as digital or HD. The 19AV600U also has (2) HDMI jacks and is a great looking little TV even when it's off. We mostly buy SONY but was settling for Samsung (since Sony is not that impressive in this size range) until I ran across this little jewel.


Great TV for the Price, June 6, 2009

By	Kyle Texas (Dallas, Texas USA) - See all my reviews

I purchased this TV after much comparison shopping and reading of reviews of various models on Amazon and other web sites. I settled on this model and am very pleased. I use the TV in our kitchen and it has an excellent picture (given the price) and I have not encountered any issues with sound volume. The sound could be criticized as being a little "tinny", but, that said, I would not count this as a material criticism. Frankly, you might consider getting the 22" model if it fits both your budget and the space that you have. In conclusion, you should not hesitate to purchase this TV. Note, however, that I found the TV at a slightly cheaper price at Fry's (in-store price not on-line price).

1080p for my PS3 :D, April 24, 2009

Didnt see that coming after reading the specifications or site content. The picture looks great enough for HDMI PS3 signals.

For Ps2 component signals, i am not impressed with the quality, but maybe if i tweak the settings i might get a good feed.

I also use it as my Laptop monitor.

I gave it only four stars because it doesnt have a Audio/earphone out TRS female jack to connect my PC speaker system to it. They should have included it since its supposed to work as a monitor as well. Every other monitor TV has one. This has a L/R RCA audio out which i have to adapt using atleast 3 extra pieces of adapters. :[
