A school project
By PaulC
I bought this thinking it was a television set, providing an audio-visual experience. It is not.The display is great. But the sound is abysmal. The description says the loudspeakers are invisible. Well they might as well be non-existent because you can hardly hear them. I called the Toshiba customer support and got through to a very pleasant guy who must have heard my questions many times before as the answers rolled right off his tongue: yes, the max volume is 63. No, it does not get any louder than this because the design concept is that people will be sitting right next to the TV when watching it because of its small size. And, yes, the only audio out connection is a digital audio out in Dolby Digital or PCM (can switch manually on the set menu).I was not expecting the television to be that loud bearing in mind its size. But to have to be sitting within 6 feet of the set to be able to hear anything is ridiculous. The only option to improve the sound quality is to connect external self-powered speakers or a multimedia centre. I would not want a multimedia centre, but could live with external speakers. But why or why did Toshiba design the set so that the only audio out is an optical audio? Most self-powered speakers I know of are analog, so to connect them requires a digital to analog converter, about $60. And on top of this you will need external speakers of course, about $100 for a reasonable pair. As far as I know, digital to analog converters can only convert PCM, not Dolby Digital. At least Toshiba make it possible to manually select PCM or Dolby Digital.If this where a school project, I would give it a B-. But for a company like Toshiba to come out with this is is a disgrace. This should be marketed as an LCD display suitable to be connected to a multimedia centre, not as a television.BTW, the Toshiba 19SL400U, 22SL400U and 26SL400U all have similar speakers...

Average TV
By Brain Drain
This TV is okay. I bought it to stick on a bookshelf in a small sitting room, and it works fine. For me I was most concerned with the viewing angle. And the LCD screen gives it an excellent attribute. I have no trouble seeing the screen at an angle of a little more than 45 degrees. The picture is okay; nothing spectacular. And of course, the sound is terrible, but that's to be expected. If you need a 19 inch TV, then one will do the job.

By Lynn R. Morgan
The sound on this TV is so poor that it is useless. I took the TV apart and installed jacks for external speakers. There is only digital sound out that would require a digital amplifier with a remote for volume.
