Toshiba 20AF43 20" Flat Screen TV
Great TV, lousy remote
I considered a lot of different 20&quot; flat screen TVs and finally decided on the Toshiba 20AF43 because, for me, it really hit that sweet spot between price and features.  It has a great clear picture and good sound, plus along with regular RCA a/v inputs, it also has both S-video and component video input.  However, it isn't as pricey as the equivalent SONY KVFS100, which doesn't even have all the same input options.  So although I have generally been a Sony person in the past, I am generally very pleased with the Toshiba and am enjoying having a TV I can actually see from across the room, even though the set isn't terribly huge (a plus in my book).<br />However, I am deducting a star for the terrible remote control.  First, the remote that comes with the Toshiba is very picky about where it will work -- perhaps I am just used to being able to vaguely point the remote in the general direction of the TV, but this one you really have to have it very precisely angled or it won't work at all.  Plus, on several occasions I have done something mysterious with the remote that caused me to lose all control, even if I try it again up close to the TV.  The only way I got control back was to turn the TV off and back on again.  Also, when I entered the code to have the remote control my (Sony) VCR as well, it no longer worked for the TV.  Finally, the number buttons are really awkwardly placed at the top of the remote and it is very hard to enter in specific channel #s that I want to jump to, especially if I'm trying to hold the remote at the magic angle at the same time.  Can you tell that I'm irritated by all this?  I will probably purchase a universal remote to use instead...<br />The TV itself is great though!
