Customer Reviews

Great picture, poor sound.
I just received this unit and bought it based on my satisfaction with the Toshiba 37" Regza I bought a year ago. It replaces an old 13" in my bedroom so a 22" seems hugh. The various menues are the same as the Regza so it was very easy to figure out based on my previous experience. Contrary to the Amazon description, it has two HDMI inputs, not one. While the picture is really great in my view, I was very disappointed in the sound. Mamimum volume is just barely acceptable (I am a little hard of hearing) for listening and it sounds hollow and tinny. I got around this by hooking up a cheap book shelf stereo to my cable box to augment the sound and putting the speakers on both sides of the TV. There are no analog audio outputs on the TV so you need cable for this solution to work. Obviously, this solution would not be acceptable to everyone.

I got what I expected, and I like it.
We bought this TV to go in our small living room. We were debating between it and the Samsung 22". We decided to go with the Toshiba because of the better price and the smaller overall profile. The salesman at the store told us the biggest criticism with the TV was the sound, and he was right, it's not very good. I also thought the remote control was a little "busy" and the on-screen menu is not as intuitive as it could be.

However, the picture is excellent. I watched TV from about 10' away and the picture was beautiful. I also like that it has such a small profile, it almost looks like a piece of art sitting on a table. Setup was very easy, I had it out of the box and working inside of two minutes.

If your looking for a small, secondary TV for your bedroom or home office, this TV would work. If you're building a home entertainment center, this is not the TV for you.

don't fear the sound
I was a bit apprehensive on what the sound quality would be like on this TV having read all the reviews. I can tell you that I have this in an 11 X 14 room with cathedral ceilings and I have absolutely NO issues with the sound quality! The picture quality is fabulous and the set up was so simple. I like this so much that I'm thinking of upgrading my living room TV to a larger version of this. Don't let the reviews on the sound quality hold you back from purchasing. And don't forget to go with the super saver free shipping. My delivery with this option was less than 48 hours from my confirmation!!
