Digital camera reviews of Toshiba 19LV505 19-Inch 720p LCD HDTV with Built-in DVD Player, Black
Digital camera Review: Could be a 4- 5 star rating
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased the Toshiba TV/DVD for my office and I think this will be a perfect fit. The picture quatilty if very good as is the sound. Right now I'm giving this product a 3 star rating and that is because I'm curious about one feature? As you change the stations (it's hooked up to my current cable) it shows a blank screen with two boxes at the bottom; one indicating cable analog and the other the station then the actual station appears. This happens each time you switch stations and is annoying. Is there something I missed in setting up this TV or is this the way all HDTV work?Digital camera Review: DOES IT ALL! WONDERFULLY!
Summary: 5 Stars
A great purchase. A do-all display. A HDTV, DVD, DivX, CD, MP3,PC monitor all in one. Yeah, the volume is a bit low. No worry about being blasted out with the tiny speakers BUT still a BIG improvement over laptop speakers. And the solution is the same. Plug in a set of decent PC powered speakers. The viewing angle is a bit limited as well. These ARE going to be an issue with a small, lightweight, very portable unit. It even has a wall mounting point.
It has a very decent HD tuner for over-the-air reception. With a 7 inch UHF antenna fixed to the back, I get great HD TV broadcasts.
I looked at a bunch of TVs this size and smaller, and this was the best I found. The low price made it a no-brainer.
Digital camera Review: Defective Product and Awful Customer Service
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this product from an Amazon vendor a month ago. How does it work? I have no idea because it would not turn on when we got it out of the box. The power light went on and that it was it. We tried to operate the integrated DVD player and of course it accepted the DVD but would not eject it from the unit. We sent it to Toshiba customer service and they told us after a week that they could not repair it because a part was on back order so they would send us out a new unit. Fine, I thought. I called back a week later to find out that the unit was on back order and it would be another week before the units would come back in. I called today, ten days later, and they told me that the units have come in but my order inexplicably has not yet been shipped. I was told to call back in another week if I do not receive the TV in the interim. I have asked numerous times for a refund and Toshiba repeatedly has refused.
This has been one of the worst consumer buying experiences I have ever had. I usually buy Sony televisions but made an exception this time because I had specific space constraints and the footprint of this unit matched my needs. This is a mistake I will not repeat. Buy a product from Toshiba at your own peril.
Digital camera Review: Disappointing Upgrade
Summary: 2 Stars
We replaced our JVC 19" CRT TV in the home office with what we thought would be an upgrade. The size is perfect for the shelf in the office & it looks good. DVD works fine & allows presets for viewing size and captions which is a nice. The picture is ok (a bit darkish) and the sound good enough for the space, but the tuner takes 3-5 secs to select & display a channel. That's ridiculous given all the high tech features built into this TV. Why not install a high tech tuner? Overall the old JVC was a better TV. I wish we had done more research on brands of this size. We won't make that mistake when we buy a larger LCD TV for our primary TV....and it mostly likely won't be a Toshiba.Digital camera Review: Ex-Toshiba Customer

When I recieved this product, I immediately found that it did not work. I attempted to get it replaced and Toshiba refused to do that. I had to return it AT MY OWN EXPENSE. Worst customer service experience I have ever had!
