Toshiba 19W330 - Expert Reviews

Review summary: Contrary to popular belief, hi-def isn't just intended for plasma TVs the size of a house. The extra detail on offer also makes a difference on small screens under 26in, which is why more and more manufacturers are putting HDMIs and hi-def resolution ...

Pros: Decent looking, Impressive connections, Works well with HD material

Cons: Expensive, Lack of contrast, Noisy standard-def images, Indifferent audio

Verdict: Shows HD works on small screens, but pricey and the contrast is poor

Review summary: Toshiba's latest largescreen LCD sets are currently earning rave reviews, so we're hoping some of that quality has filtered down to the £450 20W330D.This cute 20in TV features the same black and silver styling common to the Regza range

Pros: Decent connections, Good high-def pictures, Easy to use

Cons: Indifferent standard-def pictures, Sound lacking in bass

Verdict: Not the knockout we expected, but user-friendliness and low price are hard to fault

Review summary: You've got your enormo-screen as your living-room focal point, but now you can't bring yourself to look at that 14in portable in the bedroom. You need to upgrade, my friend.

Pros: Superb DVD performance. Fine off-air picture. All the connectivity options you need

Cons: Idiot remote. Costlier (relatively speaking) than your average Tosh

Review summary: Excellent all-round performance, that€™s capped by brilliant DVD reproduction. A superb second-room set

Pros: Excellent connectivity ; fine digital TV picture ; DVD playback boasts brilliant colours, fine insight and contrast

Cons: Sluggish remote
