Toshiba 20AF45 20-inch TV

Date Published: 10/26/07

Toshiba's 20AF45 offers appealing features and strong performance for a 20-inch model. The two-tone cabinet has a flat picture tube with vertical stereo speakers on either side of the screen, while controls, a set of composite video inputs, and a headphone jack are located below.

A digital comb filter reduces hanging dots and dot crawl, and widescreen content can be viewed in letterbox or compressed mode on the 4:3 aspect ratio screen. The double-baffle stereo speakers produce a total of 5 watts of audio output, which can be set to remain at the same volume level regardless of the program or channel. Convenience features include an adjustable sleep timer, memory for nine favorite channels, and parental controls that include V-chip blocking of inappropriate programs, a lock on all video inputs, and a Game Timer function that automatically shuts the TV off after a specified time period.

In addition to the front connections, which are handy for a video game console or camcorder, the 20AF45's rear panel has a second set of composite video inputs, an S-video input, and a set of component video inputs. The included remote control is equipped with glow buttons that are easy to see in a darkened room.



Warranty
90 days labor, 1 year parts, 2 years picture tube
