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.

I still am working to understand the ins and outs of this set and what it will do, so this review is not as complete as I would like. However, I am quite satisfied with this set, and hope that it will give me many years of service. If anything, the picture was better than I hoped.

Bought this as a present for my parents. Great TV for the kitchen. Nice picture. Built-in DVD easy to operate for parents. Stick in the DVD and it plays. Press eject and it goes back to TV.

The set looked to be exactly what I wanted. However, it came with the HDMI port not working. The technician from DISH TV urged me to return it to Toshiba as "you don't want a set that's broken from the start". I did return it as I wanted to use HDMI and not components. It took a long time to get it back from Toshiba and when it came, the set now would not power on. It is now back with Toshiba for a second repair on a brand new TV. In the 40 some days that I have had this set, I have actually been able to use it about 8. It takes 10 days or more for Toshiba to send a FEDX shipping label, a week or more for fixing the set and a slow return back to me.
And when it comes back now I will get watch a TV (perhaps) with the dread that I will have to send it off again and go another 20 days without TV.
The set may be a good set, I don't know. But Toshiba has really let me down.

Very light weight, love the white color for the kitchen, easy to install, great picture, simple remote.

We don't watch a lot of TV in our household so this is our only TV and it suits us fine. It has a good clear picture, with an easy to use DVD player and remote. However, the sound is a little under powered. We purchased a cheap PC speaker/sub woofer system to remedy that and it's been just fine.

I up graded from a 15"TV to this 22", and really like it for size and being white it looks good in the kitchen. Picture quality is good but my one complaint is that the sound is not loud enough.Probably will have to hook up an extra speaker. My husband doesn't hear well and he complains it is not loud enough.

My husband loves it. It is easy to use and the picture is very clear. His is black, not white.

I have a large old Toshiba analog ,cathode ray tube tv that has served me well for many years, so i bought this even tho i think it is over-priced. I do not notice the 720p limited definition and my very old parents certainly don't.

There are few white case /frame TVs available so this was a big plus in a brightly painted breakfast dining area. And as i said in the title, there is no separate dvd box and cable clutter with a separate remote. The left edge dvd player works great and is so easy to use. I would make the left edge markings larger for those with bifocals. 22" is a good size for viewing from 10-15 feet away, as that was a concern at first.

I did find ONE BIG PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NO LOUD VOLUME, just low and medium/conversation level. Also ,as another reviewer has pointed out, there is no favorite channels/return channel button, as on most remotes. Also wish this and all remotes were dark illuminated to you can find the right button without turning a lamp on.

The parents have Comcast , so the nice easy-to-understand white Toshiba remote gets no use and we are forced to use the 53 button, very confusing, overly complicated and cheap-looking black Comcast remote. Do wish Toshiba would keep the dvd controls below the switch circle, for more practical layout.

I would recommend this TV to a friend, but at a big annual sale price, not full retail.

The Toshiba 22LV506 is a stylish, satisfying and space-saving solution for anyone who lives in limited space, but there is a major flaw which is big enough to take the rating from 5 stars to 3 stars. There is no back/last channel button! I thought this was standard for any TV with a remote control by now. So you can't jump from one channel to another. Its a major inconvenience to type the channel you want to go to or use the channel up and down buttons. TVs half this size and half this price have back buttons. Anyway, other than this flaw the Toshiba 22LV506 delivers everything else you need in a nice little package.

this tv had a poor picture but the sound quality was even worse. i was not sure if it was defective or just an inherrent problem...amazon took it back and eventually credited my account.
