Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U watch out
Uncategorized Tagged 19lv610u, cheap, toshiba Comments OffThe Worst LCD I Have EVER Encountered!. To start with when I purchased this TV, I was expecting that due to the price and the brand name that I was buying a quality set. I was completely wrong. The other LCDs in my home are generic sets from Funai, Emerson, Symphonic and the like, and they are miles better then this Toshiba. There are four things about this set that I find unacceptable. The first is the picture quality of broadcast signals (analog cable) is absolutely garbage. When I connect my $249 LCD side by side with this Toshiba that sells for $550 at most retail stores the difference is nothing short of astounding. The toshiba looks like Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U is connected to rabbit ears, waves, lines, snow, just terrible. The second issue is the volume control, when you watch a DVD from the built in player you must turn the volume to its highest setting to hear the movie, but then when you switch back to watching TV the volume is so loud that you almost jump. How a major name branded TV could have been designed this poorly is a mystery to me. Third, most TVs when they are powered up for the first time they auto-program the channels. Not only does this set not do that, but after finding the programming option in the incredibly complex menu system, Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U then takes over 5 mins to seek and program the channels from a simple 96 channel analog source. And my final complaint is the remote control, Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U is HUGE, and is the most complex and un-intuitive remote I have ever had the displeasure of using. All in all, I can NOT believe that Toshiba released a product this poorly designed, with this low of quality, and this price point. The ONLY positive thing I can say about this set is the color, its BLACK, which can be hard to find these days with the sizes and options that you need.
Toshiba 19″ LCS HDTV with DVD player. Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U is my second Toshiba LCD HD Television with DVD player. I bought Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U 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.
I also wanted to like the Toshiba, but . . . . I placed a comment on another review here stating that we also had problems with the component cable hook-ups. We returned our first Toshiba for an identical one and had the same problem; the hdmi hook-up was fine, so we just gave up on the component hook-up. We also felt the picture was washed out compared to our larger Sharp LCD TV, but we weren’t expecting the little 19″ combo to measure up to that. We preferred the design and look of the Toshiba cabinet to the high-gloss Sharp, and we liked the ability to adjust the tilt. And after reading reviews on many sites we saw that the Toshiba was rated more highly than the Sharp, so we decided to just stick with it. However, when a second cable guy commented on the poor quality of the picture, we decided to give up on Toshiba and try the Sharp. We exchanged Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U several days ago, and we couldn’t be happier. The Sharp was incredibly easy to hook up, the picture is much, much better (crisper, better blacks, more contrast) the sound is comparable, the time Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U takes to change channels is comparable (many people have complained about that; Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U seems the same on all these new tv’s to us). I still don’t like the high-gloss cabinet, and I do wish Cheap Toshiba 19LV610U tilted, but we are so glad that we finally gave up on the Toshiba and went with the Sharp.
