Outstanding picture on both HD tv and DVDs. Very good for standard definition broadcasts due to multiple display options through just a click on the remote. Very good sound.

Light and fits just about anywhere. Looks good for variety of angles.

Easy to set up.

I have owned this TV for about 2 years now and it has worked great for me. We have this TV in the bedroom and have found it to have great color, sound and DVD functionality. I like the flexibility of multiple inputs. The HDMI input provides outstanding color.

My only complaint is that the TV selects the aspect ratio of the picture. You can't artificially change a standard picture to wide screen for example.

It lasted 4 and a half years. Six months after the extended warranty had expired it could no longer be turned on. That, by the way, is pretty revealing about extended warranties; I will never purchase another one again. The 23HLV85 overall quality was neither better nor worse than other brands (I also have 2 Samsung and 1 LG). The incorporated dvd player was constantly plagued with problems, unreliable, especially with dvds getting stuck and difficult to remove. We quickly gave up using the dvd player since we usually watch movies in the living room and the 23HLV85 was only for a bedroom. According to reviews on the net, the problem with the on/off switch and dvd player are pretty common. We inquired about fixing it but the cost was not worth being left with an old and unreliable set. We replaced it with a Samsung. I will stay away from Toshiba from now on.
