Toshiba 19" LCS HDTV with DVD player

This is my second Toshiba LCD HD Television with DVD player. I bought this item for the kitchen so that I can watch while I cook and there are some DVD that I enjoy the my spouse does not like. Great product.

Poor choice for trailer

This TV came with our trailer. It looks nice enough (fairly plain), operates easily enough and has decent enough sound. Where it is really bad for us is the vertical angle. If you're in a trailer there is a good chance that it's mounted up high, and with this TV you start to lose quality immediately as your viewing angle drops. The manufacturer doesn't specify viewing angles, I'd be interested to see what they consider this to have. But our TV is up with the cabinets and it's totally unwatchable sitting on any of the seats in the trailer. You either stand or you get up on the top bed to view it. My negative rating is based solely on this feature so if that's not a consideration for you then don't worry about it. The horizontal angle is okay, by the way.

Locks up and must be unpluged to be reset

I purchased this unit for a guest room because my mother in law was coming to visit. By the time she came, it was past the 14 day return period for defective product. We only then found out that when changing channels, fast fowarding the CD etc. the unit would lock up and go to a black screen. You couldn't even turn it on or off. The controls on the set or the remote wouldn't work. If you unpluged it for 10 minutes, it would then work till it locked up again. As it was going to be a lot of trouble to send it to Toshiba to fix, I thought I could live with it. It got worse and I finally sent it back. Last night I went to Fedex to pick it up and it worked for a whole 10 minutes before locking up again. This time even unpluging it for over an hour didn't help. In total because it is in the guest room it probably doesn't have 20 hours total use on it.

I purchased it because I wanted a brand name that wouldn't give me trouble and Sony doesn't make small TVs any more. I paid $500. Even when it works the DVD sounds like it is tearing itself to bits and the controls take forever to do something after you push a button.

I now suspect that instead of getting a brand name TV I paid a brand name price for a third world junker with a brand name glued on to it.

It was so new when I got mine that there weren't any warnings on the internet. Now there are a lot of people that have the same problem I have and one guy says he has sent his back twice with no results!!!

Good Camper TV

Love my Toshiba TV. Use it in my camper and it works great. Requires a little more juice than I'd prefer but does the job. Speakers seem a little weak when surroundings are loud like when it's raining and you're in a camper with canvas bunks.

Great TV

I bought this a year ago and had no problems whatsoever. Picture quality is very clear and crisp, much better than what I used to have. Easy to use, easy to hook up, good sound, just overall good purchase for what it is. Granted it's not a particularly large screen, it's still great for my bedroom. I mostly use it as a monitor for my laptop when I watch movies but occasionally I'll use it for my PS2 and Wii. Definitely recommend if you're not looking for a larger screen.

Toshiba 19AV500U loses a channel

Our Toshiba loses its memory for a single channel, interestingly the strongest channel, in our area. The only recourse is to rescan, taking about 2-3 minutes when this happens, and it happens two or three times a week. We tried the double rescan process recommnended by Toshiba and a similar process found on the internet, but neither has fixed the problem.

Contacting Toshiba customer service reveals that to get warranty service on it requires us to send it off, at our cost, to the east coast for servicing. If the service center finds no problem, the service work is on us, also.

I find that to be totally unacceptable, and will live with it until it ticks me off enough and then buy a Sony or Sharp, as I should have in the first place.

Dead after 1 year

I purchased this TV through Best Buy for much more $$ than it is listed for on Amazon. The TV was great when it was working. After a little more than a year it is dead as a doornail. It sat on my dresser for months. I did not cart it around or jostle it. Then one day it would not turn on. For the amount of money you pay for it, it should last longer than one year. TV's should be more reliable than a $10 coffee maker!!!!

Editorial Review :

By combining an HD CineSpeed LCD Display with DynaLight dynamic backlight control, the AV502 Series can bring rich, detailed HD images to any room in your home.

DynaLight Dynamic Backlight
Utilizes advanced histogram image processing to monitor the brightness level of each video frame and automatically adjusts the backlight intensity based on the image content. This precise signal analysis allows for 256 levels of backlight control and can create a Dynamic Contrast that is 7 to 10 times that of the original panel contrast. The result is a powerful picture with deep blacks for increased detail and incredible depth.

CineSpeed Display
Has an LCD Response Time of 8ms or less to ensure that the display is also fast enough for high quality home theater.

Gaming Mode
Enhances the gaming experience by reducing game controller delay. The Gaming Mode allows the video signal to bypass select picture circuitry to shorten the overall signal to screen time. This provides an approximate 33 millisecond response improvement for 60Hz models and 48 millisecond response improvement for 120 Hz models virtually eliminating controller delay.
