Pros: Stylish, Great Picture, Plenty Of Inputs, Awesome for DVD, Good Feature Set.
Cons: Slight Geometry Issue, Sound Pans During "StableSound", Ugly Remote.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this TV for anyone with a small/medium size room, or anyone who wants a great picture, but doesn't need a large set.

| danalmasy's Full Review: Toshiba 24AF43 24 inch TV |
Once I got the set home, and I hooked up the Cable, and DVD I gave it a test drive, and I was really impressed. The component inputs are great for DVD delivering a strong, crisp picture. I also have my XBOX hooked up via S-Video, and it looks equally as great. Cable television looks good to me, but as always picture quality depends on your cable provider.
We primarily use this TV to watch DVDs, Cable, and the occasional video game, and this set does all of those things very well.
I suggest that you run THX optimizer if possible (found on many DVDs such as The Incredibles). This really helps you get the most out of your picture, and I've seen a big improvement from the original factory settings.
I've heard people mention a geometry issue, and I've noticed it very slightly, but you'll find that most TVs have some level of curvature to the picture, and is really only visible when watching a DVD in letterbox widescreen, but once again, this hasn't bothered me at all.
The sound is a little funny sometimes if you have the "StableSound" turned on (keeps consistant volume at all times). It almost sounds as if it's panning from left to right on some shows. This is a very minor issue, and doesn't happen all of the time. Overall the sound is good, and the "Surround" setting tends to make everything sound even better.
I've found that the glare-reducing screen really is a nice touch. I have two big french-doors that bring alot of light in, and I can still watch during the day without the glare affecting what I'm watching.
I also like the fact that there is a headphone jack right in the front, very functional.
