Customer Reviews

Beautiful Picture, Terrible Sound - Forget It
On impulse, I picked up a 19lv61k at Cosco at a cheap price and an automatic factory rebate. I intended to use it in my travel trailer. Got it home, and found the usual excellent Toshiba picture, but the volume was a disaster. Cranked all the way up (to "50") on the volume control, you could barely make out what people were saying from 3 feet away. The only way you can enjoy a movie is to put your face into the screen. I understand there are several similar Toshiba models (including the 19LV610U and 19LV611U) with a like volume problem. I thought I might simply bridge this problem with a cheap plug in speaker system, but read in the owner's manual you can only attach an analog sound system if you have the 26 inch model! Also, for a minor quibble, this is called a 19 inch tv, but it only measures out at 18 and one-half inches. My wife and I own other Toshiba TV's, and love each of them. Don't avoid Toshiba TV's, but do avoid this model. By the way, I ultimately bought a Sharp LC22DV27UT, which is the bomb, and as I update this on June 22, 2009, is on sale at a really nice price with free shipping at Amazon.

Toshiba sound quality
The only review on this TV does not reflect my experience. The TV has a great picture and the sound quality is certainly not bad - but more than adequate. I too purchase the TV at Costco and find it to be a great value.

Previous comment regarding sound is fixable!
Also picked up this model Toshiba from Costco. Sound was terrible. But with a quick call to Costco technician (yes, Costco has technical support) we were walked through a simple "fix." Works great now!
