1st was defective; lets see how the Merchant does (BeachAudio). Purchased as a birthday gift for my wife. Arrived quicker than I expected…a good thing. Appeared to be in “new” condition (original box). Hooked Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U up, started the programing process…froze up during the auto channel programing about 2/3rds the way through. Wouldn’t power off via the remote or the power button on the unit. Ended up pulling the plug. No picture on the restart….not a very Happy Birthday thus far.
NO STARS
Great value for a small footprint of a TV. I needed a small footprint TV and after screening both the Toshiba and the Sharp Aquos 19″ LCDs with aDVD player, I opted for Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U one due to one factor: picture. I’d had great success with the Toshiba Regza 23″ with DVD player, and Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U one is as good, if not better. Picture quality is extraordinary. I run cable so regular cable and HD are both received. I seriously can’t tell the different between regular cable and HD due to Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U TV and it’s QAM tuners. I just get an excellent picture, excellent sound, and a reliable name – Toshiba.
Great LCD TV with some minor flaws. I wanted something to replace my old 20″ CRT. After exploring some of my options, this TV was probably the best deal I could find within my price range.
480i (ATSC and NTSC cable) is fair. Do not expect perfect results on any LCD running at a resolution under its maximum. Colors, specifically red, are very brilliant. That is what really caught my eye when comparing to others within a store. I have noticed some dark scenes sometimes have a greenish tint to them, but this also depends on what you’re watching. Audio is fair. It’s much better than say my computer LCD’s speakers, but I’d strongly suggest getting some alternative audio. The remote control is very powerful and works at most any angle within the same room. Buttons can be a bit hard to find but nothing overly complicated…
The built-in DVD player is pretty fair. I think Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U only displays at 480p, but it’s not too noisy and seems to search rather quickly. I have another DVD player I connected using HDMI and upscaled to 720p. The picture seems much more clear and that green tint mentioned is almost non-existent.
Connectivity is a weak point of this TV… There are no outputs what so ever (besides optical for the DVD player). Input is all located under the rear of the TV with no front or side RCA or S-Video jacks. Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U had a pair of RCA/S-Video jacks, a single HDMI, and a single component input.
The viewing angle of this TV is pretty poor as well. Forget laying on the floor and watching it. Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U is even noticeable darker while viewing while laying on my bed. For the most part this isn’t much of a problem, but very dark scenes could prove difficult to see.
All in all I’m very happy with my little TV and would strongly suggest Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U to anyone looking for one around this size.
