Toshiba's 19A26 is a simple TV that offers few frills but comes at a very affordable price. The 19-inch CRT screen is tinted to reduce reflections, and the picture is bright and lively. The silver cabinet has a set of front-panel composite video inputs and a single front-firing speaker that produces only 1.5 watts of sound. The basics include on/off and sleep timers, parental V-chip controls and a game timer that automatically shuts off the TV after a set period.

Only an RF input is present on the rear of the TV, so if you want to connect a component, you must use the 19A26's front-panel input. A channel return button on the basic remote control is convenient for quickly switching back and forth between two stations. As far as features go, that's about it.

Keeping it simple and affordable makes the Toshiba 19A26 a good choice for a bedroom, dorm room, or kitchen counter.

Pros: Low price, game timer
Cons: Single mono speaker, only one A/V input
