This was a cheap television which I purchased for GBP 70 in 2002 from Argos, Derby. I've had it for 6 years now and it is still going strong.
Build quality is good as you would expect from Toshiba. The screen is not flat and the glass cathode ray tube inside the set makes the whole unit very heavy for a 14 inch "portable" television.
Picture quality is good. The handset has a button which allows you to cyclethrough 4 presets to get a good image depending on ambient light conditions and your own preferance. Colours are bright and contrast is good.
Audio is average. The speakers are fine - no distortion at loud volume - but not very bassy. I was surprised to find that the audio headphone socket only allows you to listen in mono! In this day and age it is surely illegal not to have stereo output?
The unit has one scart input at the rear and video and single audio input at the front.
The handset is rather long but comfortably narrow with rubberised buttons. All the usual functions are available with nothing exceptional to mention.
Overall a decent budget TV but nowadays a few pounds more will get you a flatscreen LCD set.
