3.0 out of 5 stars High quality picture, A/V input in front, speakers in back, March 11, 2002

This is a high quality, cable ready picture for a cheap price, but there are no extras or frills to make this product stand out. The picture is fabulous, but that's the only highlight of the product. First off, the speakers are in the back of the TV, however you will have no problem hearing the TV, in fact you can hear the TV at volume level 5... the TV goes up to volume level 50! Secondly there are only a few button features on the TV itself, the power button, volume up and down, channel up and down. The audio / video input is located on the front of the TV (only the front). I bought this TV for my little brother who has Playstation and N64, so I thought having the audio/video input in the front would be convenient. It only allows for video and only the left audio channel (not left and right), making your input mono sound. There is no output hookup source, so you cannot connect big speakers to the TV or anything like that. One downfall is that the TV frame is rather thin, only about 4 inches deep, but then the casing that holds the picture tube in the TV sticks out another 12 inches in back of the TV! Now to discuss the remote, which is great, complete with convenient sleep, channel return, favorite channel, mute, menu, tv/video and caption/text buttons (2 AAA batteries come included).

4.0 out of 5 stars not quite enough for the money, November 4, 2001

This is not a bad tv, but you can get by cheaper than this with a comparable tv. I would recommend the Phillips 19pS40c, it costs a little less but it has a microphone input in the front as well as the AV. You can connect your PC speakers also to it and have great sound. However, this TV is a toshiba which makes excellent tv's and may eventually be worth the price. I bought the toshiba and returned it for the phillips. However both of them are good deals, and you cant go wrong with either one

2.0 out of 5 stars sound is bad, December 3, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Toshiba 19A21 19" FST Black TV (Electronics)

The minimal design is nice (there's not much but screen to see from the front), but with the speaker holes relegated to the back, the sound is bad.
