Toshiba 19AV501U 19" LCD TV

I've had Toshiba TV's in the past and never had a problem. This one is real sweet with an easy to use remote. I have it set up with a 55db gain rabbit ear antenna, and I programmed the TV only to receive hi-def, the picture is crystal clear. One great feature is the "half-mute" which lowers the volumn enough so that you can still hear it and carry on a conversation with someone. One click on the volumn control and you're back to your original setting.

Highly recommend it.

Toshiba 19AV501U Extremely Pleased

In researching and comparing TV's before buying this TV, I had pretty much decided that this was the TV for me. However, some of the comments by other customers gave me pause, due to the sound quality as they had reported it. Especially, since I was not positive if they really meant sound quality or volume or both. I have a pet peave with a television whose sound comes out of the side/back of the set instead of the front (note: this tv has front speakers). Since you are usually sitting in front of the TV. With those sets other sets side/back speakers you have to blast the volume to hear it, but then it is blaring into other rooms etc. I can tell you this TV has excellent volume control and the sound at first seemed a little different from my old tv but nothing unexpected (at first it was like hearing a strangers voice that quickly became a friends familiar voice). So if the sound volume or quality is something you might have concerns about in the purchasing of this TV, let me put your mind at ease (unless you are a sound guru dealing with bass, tremble and all of that) you will not regret purchasing this TV. I feel that this was one of the best purchases I have made for the money in a very long time. Additional note: if you are a first time amazon purchaser or on purchasing anything large or electronic from them, do not worry they are the best. I have been purchasing from them for years and I have never had a problem with any purchase, return or help needed..

Toshiba 19AV501U Great little LCD TV

We wanted a small Toshiba LCD HDTV for the kitchen to replace our small, but bulky, CRT TV. The new one works great. We ordered it in white to match the kitchen appliances. Love it. Simple and very easy to set up and operate. Note: The new remote also operates our larger living room Toshiba Regza HDTV we ordered from Amazon. Now, The wife has her remote and I have my remote that operates both Toshiba TVs.

Toshiba 19AV501U Couldn't ask for anything better!

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.

Toshiba 19AV501U Great product,

I was concerned about buying the Toshiba after reading a couple of negative reviews. However, our experience has been great. This TV worked right from the plug-in. Once the set-up enabled me to select cable vs antenna, the Toshiba scanned and logged all of the channels. Tagging each channel with it's designation (ABC, NBC, HBO, etc) and as a Favorite is tedious, but works. The sound quality and volume are great. Picture quality in low and bright light is also great. It would be very helpful if my cable provider, Bright House, offered a programming guide without a set top box, but that has nothing to do with the TV. Be careful of the instructions for setting up the TV, out of the box. Getting the stand into the standing position seems tricky. You have to strongly push the stand (almost force it) into the upright position and set the LOCK switch. The instructions should say that, but they don't. We thoroughly enjoy the quality experience for a very good price. I just hope that it doesn't drive dissatisfaction with our bigger TVs.

Toshiba 19AV501U Wonderful 19" TV

I ordered this TV over a month ago and have been very satisfied since day one. I ordered from Amazon on a Friday and it arrived three days later on Monday. Setup was very easy and the built in tuner found 45 channels (about 15 are analog). We use a 30 year old antenna strapped to the chimney and the picture is great! I strongly recommend this TV to anyone looking for a small TV.
