The Toshiba 15LV505: A Small TV for a Fair Price

Finding the right TV for your kitchen doesn’t have to be a tough choice. The kitchen isn’t the main room in your home, so you don’t need a huge TV. That factor, alone, makes your choice much easier. When shopping for a kitchen TV, keep the size and remote control ease-of-use in mind. Other than that, as long as you find one that lets you watch your favorite shows while you cook, you are good to go.

The Toshiba 15LV505 is an ideal choice for the kitchen, office, or even a bedroom. It has a 15.6 inch screen, but don’t let its small size fool you. The display is actually quite good for such a small screen. This TV also features a built-in DVD player, so you can watch your favorite movies when you don’t feel like watching cable. The DVD player also makes it a good choice for a child’s room, because small children tend to enjoy watching the same movie over and over again.

This television has standard inputs, so, while you won’t find an HDMI port, you can still hook up a video game or other external device. An important feature of this television is its low energy consumption, which means more dollars in your pocket. Priced at around $500, this is a quality TV with enough simple features to make it a good addition to any kitchen, office, or other small room.

Things to Consider Before Buying a New Television

Before you invest thousands of dollars in TVs and remotes, you need to understand what you are paying for. You will pay for the name brand, of course, and you will also pay for the technology. Technology is great, but if you really don’t need certain features, there is no reason to pay for them.

There are lots of reasons why you should buy a TV that costs less than others. If you are only looking for something to watch your shows on, then there is no need to pay for fancy features. For instance, 3D televisions sound good, but since there isn’t a lot of 3D content available, is it really a feature you cannot live without?

If you are a gamer and need lots of HDMI ports, you may think you need a TV that offers four or five ports. However, you can instead buy a cheaper TV and purchase an HDMI switch to ensure that you have plenty of ports for your devices.

Yes, there is some amazing technology out there right now — 4K, 3D, etc. But when you really think about it, do you have to have it all? Take streaming — you can spend a lot of money on a TV with a Smart suite that includes streaming apps. Or, you can spend less on a TV, and buy a plug-in device, such as a Roku. Then you will have all the streaming capabilities you need, and you will have saved hundreds of dollars.
