A small-screen LCD TV that comes with an intergrated DVD player with an under £200 price tag is indeed appealing enough to buy it with our eyes closed. The
Toshiba Regza 19DV616DB 19” LCD TV is one such LCD TVs and no, you cannot buy this TV with your eyes closed, even though it may appear more appealing than vanilla ice-cream topped with a rich chocolate sauce. You might as well be informed of what all this
top LCD TV lacks and where all it scores, before you empty your pockets at the bill counter of your down town electronics goods store. Sporting a smooth white finish that gleams, this LCD TV is a definite winner when it comes to looks.
Apart from the DVD player, the
Toshiba Regza 19DV616DB HD Ready LCD TV has a built-in digital tuner as well. Though not feature rich, this LCD TV does the best possible with what it has been equipped with. Connectivity is pretty decent, with one
HDMI, a component video input and PC input to name a few. Pictures in the 19” screens are in good order, on par with that of the top small-screen LCD TVs of today, to be more precise.
But the
LCD TV does not handle motion that efficiently - flickering around the moving parts of the picture is quite common, so is murkiness pertaining to the darker areas of the picture. The 19DV616DB has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and the brightness quoted is 300 cd/m2, which we feel is lackadaisical. Audio is what the 19DV616DB suffers to deliver. Dull, duller, dullest – is how it can be termed. The Toshiba Regza 19DV616DB has its imperfections but, at the end of the day, it does have quite a lot to offer for the price.
