1 Star ReviewToshiba engineers should be embarrassed to market this kind of product!
Strengths: The ONLY strength I've found with this particular TV was the low price.
Weaknesses: The skin tones are the worst I've seen from any TV I've ever owned. Impossible to get realistic facial tones.
Summary: I own three other flat screen TVs, so I know what a good picture looks like. This is the only TV that is impossible to callibrate and get accurate skin tones on. I've had to go to a -25 on the tint setting to keep faces from looking like they have jaundice! Even after doing that, they still look washed out and way off in color.

My Pioneer plasma, my Sony LCD, and my Samsung LCD are light years ahead in color/picture accuracy. The only reason I kept this TV was because it fits in my entertainment cabinet and was too expensive to return for an exchange. Don't repeat my mistake. Go to a store and look before you buy!

I have to say that this TVs performance is the worst I've ever seen. I don't know what Toshiba's engineers are doing, but they're certainly not producing anything close to their competition.

All in all, a miserable failure for a name brand manufacturer. As the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for."

Strengths: Size and price
Weaknesses: Menu could be structured better
Summary: I was looking for a 22" tv for a bedroom, but this was a better deal. This is a nice TV for the price. It was easy to set up, although the menu was not as intuitive as most tv's. I've only had it a week, but so far am very happy with the purchase.
