I bought this series Toshiba 19" TV in September 1996 in a Bestbuy store. For the first couple of years, it worked fine. Then, last year, it started to have horizontal white flashes across the screen. Fortunately, I had a four-year warranty. So I brought the TV back to the store. It took them about 2 weeks to fix it. After a year, last month, the TV died on me. The sound was OK but there was no picture, just a black screen. This time, it took the store almost 6 weeks to fix it. When I turned it on, its color was messed up. It seemed that the green color gun did not work, so everything is purple-ish. When I tried to turn the color off, the color is not black and white, but purple-ish grey.

After this nightmare, I decided to throw it away although I still have two months warranty. I am convinced this is just not worth the effort and energy. I have a ten years-old 19" Zenith TV at my dining room, it still works fine.

It's not like I was misusing it for a long time. I kept it in the same place and never moved it. The room was not dusty or damp or anything. Everything was perfect for a TV.

Don't buy this one unless you want a nightmare!
