Toshiba 22BV501B

Bright and colourful pictures ; Good remote control ; USB multimedia playback

Sound is a touch tinny ; limited viewing angle ; Severe backlight inconsistency

Not surprisingly the picture is a standard 50Hz one, though the screen’s claimed 5ms response time is satisfactorily quite low for a small TV, and so hopefully motion reproduction will be decent even without the aid of a 100Hz system.

Pictures look bright and colourful ; The remote control is unusually good ; USB multimedia playback is much appreciated

Dark scenes are blighted by an annoying backlight 'hot spot ; Viewing angle is very limited ; Sound is flimsy

While Toshiba is rightly wanting to talk right now about its current flagship TV, the recently reviewed Toshiba 55WL863, it's no surprise to find in the current economic climate that the buying public seems more interested in something rather lower...

I bought this for my 80 year old father-in-law who says how easy to use it is - and he is king of the technically inept. Picture and sound quality are all you could want.

Only one scart socket and when the remote was mislaid it was only then we realised there appears to be no facility to change channels on the t.v. itself only to alter volume.
