Bought this unit for our RV for over air HDTV and DVD/DivX, Netflix downloaded Movies. We have it ceiling mounted so it takes up no valuable counter space. Firstly, it arrived 2 weeks earlier than promised (supposed to be released May 1, arrived April 14th), so that was great!
Fired it up, attached it to our RCA, powered, rabbit ears antenna and it picked up 31 Digital or HD channels (we live in the East Bay, between San Francisco and San Jose)some as far away as Sacramento. I’d only been getting 12 channels, using the same antenna set up, on my HP PC with a Hauppage tv tuner.
So far, so good, but it was the picture quality that blew us away!! Now, we have a 42″, 1080p Panasonic Plasma with BluRay at home, so are used to high quality, crisp images. This little tv’s picture quality is superior to the 42″ plasma and the color is ‘true’. We’ve had it hooked up and running for 4 days now, and each evening there are a several bursts of “Wow, can you believe how sharp this picture is?” and “I am so impressed with the picture quality of this little tv!”
Can’t speak to the sound quality, as we immediately hooked it up to a small sound system, but it plays DVD’s and downloaded Netflix movies like a champ. Channel changing is not sloth like as in the previous model we tried.
We purchased a 19inch Toshiba TV/DVD combo a year ago and returned it because we were not happy with the picture quality or the sluggish response when changing channels – it also cost around $700! We went back to watching TV and Movies on the PC, but decided to try again with this 22inch model. We are absolutely thrilled with the purchase and for almost half of what we paid for a lesser unit last year.

I just purchased this tv/dvd player for the bedroom. The set allows me to program it to DirectV’s remote (wonderful!), it has a full compliment of picture settings for my preferred viewing, (no red people) and the manual is easy to understand.
However, the sound is very poor. I have it up as far as it will adjust to and it still can’t be heard well from more than 6 feet. I may have to return it to the store. However, this seems to be a problem with most small LCD TV’s.
I haven’t tried a DVD yet, but expect the sound to be even more of a problem because most DVD’s have to be amplified even higher than the TV sounds.
I had purchased a 22″ Curtis with a DVD player and it was a mess. I could not ajust the color or the tint, the manual only told the steps in the menus, but not what each was for and the picture quality was only fair. I could not program it to the DirectV remote at all. Their customer service said it was not possible. However, the sound was great! I guess you can’t have it all.

Ordered this t.v. for our kitchen. Could not hear at maximum volume without turning off a/c, fan, and sitting 1 foot away from t.v.. Checked reviews on the web and this complaint is widespread. Everyone returned this item.
There is a comparable Sharp t.v with pretty much the same features on Amazon, (although it is backordered) , which we just ordered–This time we checked reviews on the web !

I just got this unit last week. It’s light, it’s sleek, its picture is fantastic, but it’s sound is not always as loud as you might like. Most channels are fine, but some, even when the volume is set to max, are too soft. I’m looking for an inexpensive sound bar to augment the unit’s small speakers. If you have a smaller room, say 10 x 12, this will be great. But if you have a larger room, 15 x 15 or more, or are in a noisy house, you may be disappointed. I hope Toshiba is listening!!

Setup was so easy I didn’t bother cracking the manual. Picture is great and channel-changing is much faster than on a similar Sharp I got 2 years ago for twice the price.
