Overview

The Toshiba 19CV100U is a 19-inch LCD television with a built-in slot-loading DVD player, designed as a compact entertainment solution for spaces where a full-size TV and separate disc player are impractical. The 18.5-inch CineSpeed LCD panel delivers 720p HD resolution at 1366 x 768 pixels with a 60Hz refresh rate, and Toshiba's DynaLight backlight control dynamically adjusts brightness to deepen black levels and improve the perceived contrast ratio beyond the panel's native 1000:1 specification. Built-in ATSC, NTSC, and QAM tuners handle over-the-air and unencrypted cable signals without requiring an external box.

Connectivity is notably generous for a TV of this size, featuring two HDMI inputs (one rear, one side-mounted), component and composite video inputs, a PC input via 15-pin D-Sub, an optical digital audio output, and a side-mounted USB port for photo slideshows and MP3 playback. The integrated DVD player accepts standard DVDs, DVD-R/RW, audio CDs, CD-R/RW, and VCDs through its slot-loading mechanism. At just 11.7 pounds with the included removable stand, the 19CV100U is easy to position on a nightstand, kitchen counter, or desk, making it a practical choice as a secondary screen with built-in disc playback.
