Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Enjoy vivid, high-contrast pictures from Toshiba's 14-inch FST PURE flat picture tube. Affordable, stylish, and loaded with features despite its diminutive size, the 14AF42 makes a great accessory for a kitchen, bedroom, or even a DVD or satellite-based home theater. The set's massive FST PURE flat tube eliminates intrusive reflections from ambient light relative to conventional CRT designs and broadens the angles from which the screen may be viewed.

The 14AF42's three-line digital comb filter further enhances resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). The set gives you stereo reception (with 2.5 watts per channel) and SAP (second audio program), which is often used to broadcast an alternate-language track. The 14AF42 derives a heightened sense of stereo separation from its double-baffle speaker system. A ColorStream component-video input provides the ultimate picture quality from interlaced component-video signals; standard composite-video inputs accommodate all DVD players and most other video sources. You get two sets of rear AV inputs (one of which has S-video) as well as one set of front AV inputs for easy connection with a camcorder or gaming console. A rear AV output lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver. The 14AF42 also features, V-Chip parental controls, a sleep timer, and a glow-in-the-dark universal remote control.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very nice little TV for a bedroom, good features on it, August 20, 2002

By	A. Burchfield (Conway, Missouri USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I'd been looking for a small bedroom size TV for a while now and decided on this Toshiba because it had stereo sound, closed captioning, the special type screen, and important to me, an earphone jack.
It really isn't too much of a problem to get it going, although some things aren't done the way my old Sharp did them, I got it set up pretty quickly. The remote will also control a VCR (but unfortunately not a DVD player) which is a nice feature for watching a movie in bed as is the earphone jack.
You can hook up VCRs and DVD players to the TV but you'll need to buy some sort of antenna if you aren't on cable because these days apparently even small TVs don't come with one.
Amazon seems to have a very good price for this model, I didn't find a better one, and if I read the shipping charges correctly that is very good here too.

5.0 out of 5 stars wow!!!!!!!, September 14, 2002

By A Customer

This TV rules. It is the perfect size for a small bedroom, etc. The extra inch over a typical 13 inch TV makes a big difference. The picture is as good as the big Toshiba flat screens, if not better. It even has component inputs! Buy this TV...

5.0 out of 5 stars Toshiba Flat Screen 14" TV, December 28, 2002

By	"phrog_14632" (Wichita, KS USA) - See all my reviews

Bought unit at local BestBuy. Great picture (true of all Toshiba TVs) good sound with front facing stero speakers. Nice touch to place audio and video plugs on front of unit. Back
panel has hookups for almost anything you'd need. Remote is
pretty much standard - switch to control Tv and/or VCR/DVD player. Nice TV for kitchen or office.
