Bought this unit for our RV for over air HDTV and DVD/DivX, Netflix downloaded Movies. We have it ceiling mounted so it takes up no valuable counter space. Firstly, it arrived 2 weeks earlier than promised (supposed to be released May 1, arrived April 14th), so that was great!
Fired it up, attached it to our RCA, powered, rabbit ears antenna and it picked up 31 Digital or HD channels (we live in the East Bay, between San Francisco and San Jose)some as far away as Sacramento. I'd only been getting 12 channels, using the same antenna set up, on my HP PC with a Hauppage tv tuner.
So far, so good, but it was the picture quality that blew us away!! Now, we have a 42", 1080p Panasonic Plasma with BluRay at home, so are used to high quality, crisp images. This little tv's picture quality is superior to the 42" plasma and the color is 'true'. We've had it hooked up and running for 4 days now, and each evening there are a several bursts of "Wow, can you believe how sharp this picture is?" and "I am so impressed with the picture quality of this little tv!"
Can't speak to the sound quality, as we immediately hooked it up to a small sound system, but it plays DVD's and downloaded Netflix movies like a champ. Channel changing is not sloth like as in the previous model we tried.
We purchased a 19inch Toshiba TV/DVD combo a year ago and returned it because we were not happy with the picture quality or the sluggish response when changing channels - it also cost around $700! We went back to watching TV and Movies on the PC, but decided to try again with this 22inch model. We are absolutely thrilled with the purchase and for almost half of what we paid for a lesser unit last year.
There's a new favorite TV in our house

Setup was so easy I didn't bother cracking the manual. Picture is great and channel-changing is much faster than on a similar Sharp I got 2 years ago for twice the price.
Better than advertised

We bought this for use in a second bedroom at a vacation rental. The picture is perfect, and the TV automatically changes its picture size to match the incoming cable signal. It recognizes which aspect ratio the original telecast was filmed in, and adjusts accordingly. DVD player is perfect, sound quite nice for a second bedroom unit. I will buy again. I've bought more than 30 Toshiba tv's over the last three years. They are by far the best value and quality. Don't buy no-name or questionable named units...I have tried two, they were awful. I have also bought other higher end TV's and while features and quality were similar, Toshiba consistantly has the better value.

I mounted the unit on the same bracket that I had my 15 inch lcd mounted and it works fantastic . Toshiba 22LV610U 22-Inch 720p LCD TV with Built in DVD Player, Black]]

It's the only TV in my small apartment - a larger screen would overwhelm both room size and wall hangings. Don't let the low pixel count scare you off; AT THESE DIMENSIONS picture quality is high. Sound quality is good for voice. As for music. it's hardly in a minor league team for my table-top BOSE.
Wow! (from one not easily 'wowed')
