USB interface, HL dual-element sound chip, general MIDI, 264 timbres

The LK-90TV can be connected to the TV set with a video cable. The valuations of the learning system appear directly on screen - and the song texts of the sing-along function run in real time on the focusing screen: for your own Karaoke party! Other hits of the LK-90TV include a USB interface, HL dual-element sound chip, general MIDI, 264 timbres - and so much more.

Common knowledge says that if you don't practice diligently and master technique, you cannot play a musical instrument. But, Casio thought that it would be fun if musical instruments could be played by anyone. Casio's key lighting learning keyboards feature a useful lesson system that lets you learn as you play!

The key lighting and learning series of keyboards have 61-key full-size illuminated keyboards. The keys light up as you play, or can be used to guide you through the melody of a pre-programmed song.

"This Keyboard is a great starter Board for the price."

If it doesn't die, I'll probably use it forever.
Sound
This is a decent board. It would be nice if it was more customizable, but it's perfect for the beginning synth/key player. If you take the time to experiment with the standard banks and the GM banks, you can find some nice stuff. I especially like the organs, the Synth Bass, and the Strings. The pianos are lacking in quality, however.
Features
It's decent, again, as a starter board. It would've been really nice if it had a Backlit LCD screen. Also, I would've been happier if the memory settings would hold... I use this board live, and everytime I unplug it, I have to turn off the stupid retail demo lighting and the key lighting...
Ease of Use
It's about as simple as they come.
Quality
A bit weak as far as finish goes, but these keys take a pounding without flinching. No issues with dead keys/buttons.
Value
It is a fair price...

The Wow Factor
It's a Kiddie Keyboard, although it does well for live useage. I'm branching out my rig now, but I will keep this in use for its awesome organs, brass, and one of my favorites, patch 229-"Goblin"
