Toshiba 23HLV87 23-Inch LCD HDTV with DVD Player Review
Toshiba 23HLV87 23-Inch LCD HDTV with DVD Player Review from basicblur. I would give “0″ stars if I could!, UPDATE: Returned this TV and bought a Toshiba Regza 26″ LCD TV/DVD combination (26LV67)…MUCH BETTER!
The Regza has good viewing at all off-angles (including looking up) and has an upconverting DVD player (the 23HLV87 does not). Paid only ’bout $150 more for the Regza 26″ and got a better picture & upconverting DVD player-well worth the difference in my book!
ORIGINAL REVIEW
This isn’t a bad TV, but be forewarned-the off-angle viewing when looking UP is terrible (looks like a photographic negative). I checked off-angle viewing from the sides in a showroom, but didn’t think `bout lying in the floor to check the view looking up! I mistakenly assumed if it looked good from the sides, it would look the same from all angles-it doesn’t!
I put this TV in my home office directly above my computer monitor, sitting on a corner unit. The 23HLV87 I had tilted it’s max (5 degrees) and still had a couple of mouse pads to get more forward tilt and it still looks terrible looking up. The Regza doesn’t tilt forward on it’s stand as the 23HLV87 does, but it looks great when looking up even with no forward tilt.
After my experience with this TV, playing around in the showrooms it appears many LCDs smaller than 26″ suffer the same (upward) off-angle viewing problem as this Toshiba. Apparently many manufacturers are putting newer/better LCDs in their 26″ units.
