Toshiba 15LV505 15.6 in LCD TV/DVD

Toshiba 15LV505 Counter Top Kitchen TV

Unless your counter top space is very tight this excellent 15.6" HDTV from Toshiba is one of the best options for a kitchen TV we've seen. It's simple to setup and operate, the screen is clear and crisp with vibrant colors plus it even comes with a slot loading DVD player. And unlike many LCD screens it has a wide viewing angle. It is also remarkably light, compact and easily transportable.

There is a full function remote, but it is not magnetic. If you want to have it handy on the fridge door you can improvise by using the Magnetic Pencil Cup holder from Amazon.

The basic functions of the TV can also be accessed from a small control panel on the top that includes on/off, channel up/down, volume control and basic DVD operations.

The DVD is very useful if you like to learn new cooking techniques by watching those instructional videos that have become popular in recent years.

The Toshiba 15LV505 does have a few flaws. As with many digital TVs today it is slow when switching channels. If you like to channel surf a lot this with prove annoying.

There is a built-in stand but it does not allow you to tilt the screen up or down. Unless you happen to be level with the picture you will be stuck viewing from an angle. There is also no way to mount this TV on a wall or flip mount. It is not compatible with any of the the existing TV mounts and doesn't even have any mounting holes.

You might also find the status lights on the TV's front bezel to be excessively bright and distracting.

Toshiba 15LV505 Kitchen TV Rear Panel
There's a good mix of rear connections, including standard coax, S-Video, component video, s-video, RCA jacks, digital audio out and a headphone jack. But there is no HDMI.

It has a built in ATSC/NTSC/QAM digital tuner that allows for tuning of standard cable as well as digital broadcast channels and unencrypted cable (clear QAM).

If you're looking for a small screen LCD TV from a recognized major manufacturer, the Toshiba 15LV505 stands alone. Fortunately Toshiba have made this kitchen TV a first rate product that should quickly become an essential tool for any home chef.
