TOSHIBA19BV501B 19 inch LCD TV HD Ready Freeview

With sharper styling but the same great spec, the Toshiba 19BV501 is better value than ever!

Despite its amazing price, the Toshiba 19BV501 shouldn't be confused with similarly priced, inferior products. Toshiba TVs come highly recommended, so it's no surprise to see the 19BV501 perform so well. The HD Ready screen offers fine detail and a great sense of realism. Deep blacks and convincing grey scale provides excellent contrast and a sense of depth that's often lacking in budget TVs. With a response time of just 5m/s, the 19BV501 is also a good deal faster to respond than many its rivals, meaning less motion blur and clearer images of fast moving events.

In terms of sound quality, the 19BV501 is similarly ahead of the crowd. The 5 watts amplifier might not sound very powerful but, for its class, it's actually quite a lot! This gives the stereo speakers a little more grunt to work with than the average 19 inch TV. Having a headphone socket gives the 19BV501 further flexibility.

In addition to this, this Toshiba comes with a generous selection of sockets. There's an HDMI for HD games console, Blu-ray or HD TV box, component for Wii, SCART for older sources such as VCR and a PC input, making this ideal as a dual use TV and monitor. The final flourish is a USB socket that enables you to view photos and listen to music via the TV.

It's also a good-looking, well-finished product that belies its bargain price.
