Toshiba 24AF43 24" Flat Screen TV
We're pleased with this low-cost, high-quality TV!
Before this Toshiba purchase, my wife and I hadn't shopped a TV for at least 12-years. Our last purchase was for a 27&quot; Sony ($899 + tax) set. During this recent hunt, however, we were simply amazed at the sound and picture quality that could now be had for only a fraction of what we previously paid! While shopping, we had to decide whether to purchase this Toshiba model, or a very similar (but higher priced) Sony. Drawing from experience, we knew we'd be pleased with the Sony, but the overall differences didn't warrant the Sony purchase.<br />What we liked:<br />1. Great picture and sound<BR>2. Numerous peripheral-hardware interface options<BR>3. Intuitive on-screen setup for.. well, everything<BR>4. Very few buttons on TV (great if you have a toddler)<BR>5. Comprehensive parental-control set<br />What we didn't like (or thought odd):<br />1. Hand-held remote control not very responsive. It sometimes takes several hard button presses to achieve wanted action.<BR>2. 16x9 feature doesn't display the expected additional &quot;widescreen&quot; content. Turning the feature on just simply squeezes the picture down to a perceptive 16x9 (vertically smaller) format.<BR>3. Factory picture settings drive the brightness and color too high. Once settings are owner-adjusted, they're too easily lost from a simple &quot;Reset&quot; button press on the remote control.<br />Overall, with the little annoyances aside, we're quite pleased with this Toshiba offering.
