    "We bought Toshiba 15DLV77 15 inch LCD TV from Toshiba as a gift from Santa last year for my 8-year old so that she could watch her Full House and Lizzie McGuire movies on it in her bedroom. Unfortunately, after 4 months, the tv's picture stopped working. She told me to send it back to Santa, so off it went to our local authorized Toshiba repairman, as you cannot return these items to Amazon after a certain period of time. We were told by Toshiba that the tv was under full warranty for parts and service. The repairman said no. We would have to pay at least $80 in service repairs. Well, it's been six months and we have yet to see our tv. The part that was supposedly broken was out of stock. Toshiba has sent out part after part after part...spending more in shipping and parts I'm sure than we actually paid for the tv. Now they are shipping out their 4th part...and we still have no tv and it's November. NOTE: the Toshiba representatives were rude and their supervisor (Dave Thomson) was scripted and condescending. TOSHIBA DOES NOT STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND DOES NOT HELP ITS CUSTOMERS.

My daughter got so upset that Santa didn't return her tv that we had to buy her another tv a few months ago. Then, she overheard one of the numerous heated discussions between my husband and Toshiba. Every time my husband called, we were told the issue would be "escalated". The representatives are scripted and said whatever they could to passify us. In the end, we were told by Toshiba's supervisor (Dave Thomson) that this was their final decision...to just continue to keep trying to fix an inferior product with no hope that it may get fixed. By the time we get the tv back, if we get it back, it will no longer be under warranty.

In the end, with no return of her original tv and the numerous phone calls to/from Toshiba, my daughter finally got the clue and realized Santa doesn't exist. Thanks Toshiba. MAY NO PARENT EVER RELY ON YOUR PRODUCT AGAIN! THE TECHNOLOGY IS LOUSY AND YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS AN EMBARRASSMENT! GIVEN HOW TIGHT CONSUMERS' WALLETS ARE THIS SEASON, I HOPE PEOPLE LOOK BEYOND YOUR BRAND AND SELECT A BETTER CHOICE.

    "I got the Toshiba 15DLV77 and love it. I brought it home and had it going almost as fast as I could get it out of the box. Super light weight. Its picture is sharp and there are lots of controls over the image, but it's fine just the way it is as far as I'm concerned.

I wanted something to replace my 20 year old CRT model and wanted all the bells and whistles in the connectivity department to use with my DV camcorder. This model is new and should keep me going with my Audio Visual interests for years to come.

I got an Ergotron arm set-up for it so I can 'aim' the TV (attaches to wall with articulate folding arm) in any direction I can pull it out over 20" from its normal resting place in the living room so I can view it from the kitchen while I'm cooking, or, back in the living room when I'm relaxing. Where it sits normally, I watch it from the dining area while having breakfast. All of the Ergotron hardware needed to do this is available on Amazon.

If you have small space requirements but want full viewing with expanded capabilities, this is the set for you. "

    "I purchased Toshiba 15DLV77 15 inch LCD TV as a gift. The receipiant was extremely pleased with the product, it's ease of operation and overall quality. I have never been disappointed with ant purchase I have made from your company.

    "I had been looking for a machine to replace the increasingly problematic small analog TV in our office. We like to keep a TV in our office largely so we can keep informed of any major news events like a storm, a space launch, or if some lunatics put together some kind of national emergency of which everyone should be aware.

Of course, we can also use it for sports events like the World Series, but, this being a businesslike business office, nothing like that would ever happen. Yeah right.

I also wanted one that would play recorded media, preferably DVDs, and I wanted it to be digital of course so that we could keep up with the digital bandwagon. I was also hoping it was easy to set to “closed caption” so we could turn the sound off and just leave it on at times so we could work without the distraction of the sound while we occasionally glanced up to see the news events of what was going on in the world.

So, it was off to Bust Buy and a chance to see their wares. Of course, it was also a chance to hear their salesperson give his spiel, and that’s always nice.

What I came away with was a 15-inch little wonder called the 15DLV77. It’s got the player setup you want all in a wonderfully sharp little LCD TV.

This little LCD TV is handier around the office than the old tube-style analog TV we used to have. Why? It’s lighter. It looks cooler. And it takes up less space. This particular model is about three inches wide and weighs less than 14 pounds, so you aren’t risking a hernia with it and it’s handy to move around if you need to. Its resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels, and that gives you a sharp-edged picture indeed, especially when compared to a typical analog set. I love the black frame around the screen and the way the lights and controls are very subtle. No big digital readouts and no chrome and bling. It’s all very simple and elegant.

Playback with the media player was simple. It can handle six different formats, even including that of playing JPEG images burned from your computer onto a CD as a slideshow. All the media worked flawlessly with the remote. It also has a zoom feature which is nice at times if you want to magnify an area. Media such as DVDs looked sharp and the sound was great.

The connectivity is state of the art, circa 2008. If you are still getting traditional analog signals, it has a 181-channel NTSC tuner. Of course it also has a digital tuner, so it can get ATSC and QAM signals if and when those become available. You also have a headphone jack, a coaxial connector, 2 L-R audio inputs, 2 RCA video inputs, an S-video port, and a Colorstream component video input.

Sound comes from a couple of speakers on the bottom. The sound is in traditional stereo, but if you have a surround sound system, you also have a corresponding signal through a coax connection.

The unit comes with everything you need: the TV Combo unit, a nice remote, VESA mounting holes, and a product manual.

Four hundred bucks may seem a little pricey for a 15” TV that plays recorded media, but this one has a very superior picture and sound delivery that is so far ahead of what we had before I was easily persuaded to get purchasing to spring for it. And I especially like the fact that the little unit will indeed sit in the corner and silently give us CNN footage without sound but with closed-caption commentary.

It’s beautiful, it’s light, it plays media well when you want it to, and it actually uses less electricity than its largest analog predecessor did. Think you’ll like it.

    "I bought Toshiba 15DLV77 15 inch LCD TV for its compactness. I love that it has a built-in dvd player, which I think makes it an ideal bedroom TV. The best part about the TV is the design, all the buttons are located on the side of the set, so the front is just the screen. The picture is good quality; I'm quite pleased with how cable looks; dvds look a little sharper. The sound is good too. To sum up, I think this TV is a good buy for the money. If you're looking for an lcd combo set, I highly recommend this one."
