If you are looking for a very small LCD TV, this is a nice product.If you have room for a 19", by all means I would go for the larger screen.Keep in mind that, even with the abundance of digital and high def signals out there today, many channels/programs will be broadcast in 4:3 format.Since this TV is a 16:9 profile screen, a 4:3 display will appear that much smaller on this 15.6" screen.
However, if you have a tight space, like on a kitchen counter under cabinets, this TV is perfect.It included a built in DVD player, which is a nice perk.The picture is vivid and HD display on it is excellent.At this size there is absolutely no reason to go for 1080p.For a 15.6" screen, or even a 19", 720p is fine.
At this screen size, Toshiba's competition tends to be "store brands" or no-name brands.This is the lone high quality name brand TV in this class (size).
What included in the box:
* 15.6" (measured diagonally) flat screen TV.
* Attached stand.
* Remote control.
* Power cable.The TV comes with a QAM tuner so you can pull any unscrambled analog and digital TV signals from your cable company.The TV accepts coax and ColorStream component connections.
PROs:
* Vivid picture
* Fully adjustable backlight and picture format, as well as all the usuals (brightness, contrast, audio, etc.).
* Excellent sound.
* Matte finish screen reduces glare so screen is viewable in bright and low light situations.
CONs:
* Tuner is fairly slow when switching stations.
* Stand is not adjustable for different angles or height.
Overall, this is a nice TV for the price and has many of the functions you'd want.An adjustable stand would be nice but at this size its not a necessity.I'm not sure why the tuner lags as much as it does, taking approximately 2-4 seconds in between channels.If you channel-surf often, this will annoy you.
I would have rated this a 5 had it not been for the slow tuner.

The white Toshiba 22LV506 22-inch 720p LCD HDTV with built in DVD Player has proved to be just what we wanted for our light colored bedroom.A knowledgeble young man installed the wall mount in a short time and the TV was playing within a few hours of being unpacked from the box. The set arrived on time, but with a few minor dings in the rugged cardboard box.However, the set seems to be working beautifully, with a great picture and good audio.The relative lightness of an LCD flat panel TV enabled us to mount it on a wall with relative ease.The built-in DVD player was a particular attraction, as it does allow a relatively compact installation with a minimum of wires.
