Toshiba 19LV610U Good Picture, Barely Adequate Volume

We bought this for the kitchen. Just a little adjusting of the color was needed for a very good picture. It saves a lot of counter space over the 14" CRT TV it replaced. As others have mentioned, maximum volume is very low. The level has to be set to near maximum and isn't quite enough when other kitchen appliances like the microwave are running . My other complaint is with the remote. Unlike our other Toshiba which shares a nearly identical remote and almost every other remote ever made, Toshiba has interchanged the Channel and Volume controls. This remote has CH on the left and VOL on the right. Volume on the left and tuning on the right has been the standard ever since the first vacuum tube radio. Why Toshiba decided that wouldn't work for this TV is a mystery.

Those few quibbles aside, we're generally pleased with it.
