Off-angle view looking up is TERRIBLE! 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 pho...

Great Bedroom tv I just got this a week ago, the picture quality is really worth it. The built-in DVD player is superb. So far, no complaints. Keep in mind that a 23 inch wide screen is suitable for a medium to small bedroom. I would have opted for a 26 inch screen, but I have space issues in this particular bedroom.

Good, but some quirks I got this to replace the 19" conventional TV in our bedroom. The built in DVD player saves a lot of space. Over-the-air reception with a basic indoor antenna is pretty good, although programming the set of channels to receive was non-intuitive: it seemed like the list of channels was spontaneously changing. There is a signal strength display for digital channels, but it takes a lot of button presses to reach, changing the channel turns it off, and the value doesn't update, so finding the bes...

Very happy with this Toshiba TV We have this TV installed in our Bedroom and it has worked well for us over the past two years. The picture quality is good and the sound meets our needs. In fact I have few complaints about the TV. One thing I don't like is that it automatically chooses the aspect ratio. You can't watch regular tv in widescreen like I can my Sony Plasma tv, but this is a minor issue. HD signals look great.

It's Just OK I have the 26 (26HLV66) inch version of this tv and needed a smaller one for the bedroom. Assumed the 23 inch model would be exactly the same. It is not. The software for programing channels is very different and very frustrating. If one takes the time to input channel favorites and tag each channel with a label (ie., "ABC, CBS, ESPN" etc.) which takes about 30 minutes, be careful. Right next to the add/delete channel camand is the auto program cammand. Hit that by mistake and all data is ...

Buyer Beware I can't actually review this item, since I haven't seen it in over a month. It was DOA. I did not read the return policy from the vendor before I ordered it. If I had, I would have realized that their policy is essentially "we can send you anything and you have to take it".
A leaflet in the box gives you the contact number for Toshiba customer service. My TV has sat for over a month at the Toshiba authorized repairman, waiting for a part that has yet to arrive. Yesterday I was ...

I would give "0" stars if I could! I bought the first unit in August 2007. It worked fine for a few weeks then decided to quit (just went blank!). I called Toshiba and was referred to an authorized service dealer. The unit stayed at the service center for 1 month waiting for circuit boards that never came because they were not available from Toshiba (A relatively recently produced unit and Toshiba does not even have replacement parts: that tells you something!). Finally Toshiba agreed to replace the unit and I received my current...

I love this monitor/TV/DVD Player I don't watch TV very often, so my primary reason for purchasing this was to save space by having a computer monitor that is also a TV and a DVD player. It was simple to hook up to my computer and worked without making any adjustments. I hooked up an antenna to the TV and channels come in very clear without cable or satellite service. The DVD player works well. I am very happy with this and am enjoying the extra space I've gained by getting rid of my old TV and DVD player.

GREAT! Toshiba 23HLV87 23" LCD HDTV with Built-In DVD Player I had a hard time finding a good HDTV with a built in DVD player of any size. This is the largest one I could find that could also be wall mounted and would look "right". I've only had this one day, but its performing very well and pulls in all of the analog and digital channels in my area over the air. The picture is very good and there is good control over aspect ratio, color saturation and such. Videophiles might say the picture isn't good enough but it is for my bedroom.
The only ...

Just OK as 2nd TV I purchased this LCD to replace an old 27" CRT. Unfortunately, I already miss the old tube. The set is probably fine if you hook it up to a cable or sat box. My issue has been with using it connected directly to cable with no box. The ATSC ( Analog ) tuner in the set is grainy and Channel flipping is slow ( blank screen while it switches channels and re-locks ). Worst of all, there is only a single RF jack. If I want HDTV, I have to go terrestrial or rent a cable box from Comcast for $10/month. ...
