The Toshiba 15LV505 15.6 inch is the ideal space-saver, offering a stunning LCD HDTV with a built-in DVD player. It’s the all-in-one solution with a convenient, sleek cabinet. 

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. 

The built-in slot-loading DVD player, with easy-to-access operation buttons, provides a convenient all-in-one space-saving design. Built-In ATSC/NTSC/QAM digital tuning allows for tuning of standard cable channels as well as off-air digital broadcasts, in addition to digital “cable-in-the-clear” broadcasts. Official DivX Certified means it plays all versions of DivX video including DivX 6 with standard playback of DivX media files.

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).

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 conponent 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
