Summary: Great TV, questionable quality
Review: ...I received two of these sets from Amazon. Both were defective. The first set had a picture tube problem. About two inches from the top of the set, a thin bar ran the width of the set causing a discoloration. After returning it to Amazon, the second set's problem was worse than the first. Anytime a bright colored scene comes up, the set buzzes internally toward the back of the tube. I have since returned both sets. I don't know if I am simply unlucky, or it is a quality issue with this set. Philips makes the picture tube in the Toshiba flat TVs, and my newest TV is the Philips 32" Flat screen, and it, too, is defective. So, it might not be the Toshiba TV, but the Philips component within it.

Summary: So Far, Disappointing
Review: After reading other purchaser's comments about the picture, I had somewhat high hopes, I suppose, but for "$...", I'd expect to get a picture without so much noise and distortion. The problem consists of a quite noticible line pattern. Perhaps this is a problem with all larger screen TV's, but this picture really compares poorly to my 6 year old JVC 27 inch set. I just received the set and may return it if I can't improve the picture quality.

Summary: Toshiba 32
Review: I considered buying a pure flat screen tv or an hdtv larger projection screen. I went with the pure flat screen for several reasons. The first was that only the pay movie stations are broadcasting in hdtv. For movies, dvds will give great sound and picture. The networks won't be using it for most of their programming for a while. When that time comes, the price of Plasma sets will be what hdtvs are now. That being said, the pure flat screen is about 1/2 the price of the hdtv projection screens and I actually liked the picture better. The picture on the Toshiba looked better than the Phillips and the Sony (comparison at (retail store)). I am extremely happy with my purchase. (...) If you're accustomed to a 26-27" standard tv, you will notice an unbelievable difference in the extra 5 inches and pure flat screen technology. Also, the sound quality is excellent. Sony and Phillips may be more watts per channel. But, there is no difference. (edit on July 28,02) - this tv was great for 8 months and my picture tube died = defective. probably bad luck. [Local store] is replacing tube at not cost but am without tv for over 3 weeks.

Summary: second set worst than 1st one
Review: I decided to get this tv after doing all the research. Wow! What a dissapointment so far. The 1st set had tube problems. A very visible and anoying picture distortion. Verticle and horizontle lines bent inward and the picture seemed to be offcenter. I had a second set delivered and it has very bad moire patterns in addition to the same (but visibly worse!) pincushion effect. So far a piece of [junk]! My 27" 5 year old magnavox...tv has a better picture....JVC, here I come.

Summary: Great TV!
Review: I did a lot of research and narrowed it down to two brands: Sony and the Toshiba. I went down to a nearby electronics store and compared the picture quality and color and the Toshiba, by far, has the better picture. This is, no doubt, the best tv for the price...Sony jacks up their prices way to high for the quality of product they are selling.

Summary: Absolutely love this TV!!!
Review: I recently graduated from college, got a good job and moved out of my folks house. I knew my first big purchase for my first apartment would be a television. I started out practical looking at 32" tubes, but after a few visits to ...[the local store] I was hooked on flat screens. ...I compared Sony and the Toshiba, the display units were side by side and it seemed to me that the Toshiba had an obviously crisper and clearer picture, and it ...[costed] less! Also with it's silver finish and side mounted speakers the Toshiba's design was more eye catching. It might have been cheaper but it looked more expensive that the Sony to me. At first I was nervous because I had never bought anything this expensive before, but within 5 minutes of setting up and flipping through channels I knew I had made the correct decision, flat screens rule! And this Toshiba rules them all! I do have one complaint though, the remote is a bit hokey, seems like a cutting edge flat screen television should come with a back-lit universal remote, or at least one that can control a DVD player. To me the remote just seemed cheap, that's ok though I got a universal remote to fix that problem!

Summary: Very Happy with my decision
Review: I spent a long time in stores just staring at the various 32" TVs. I decided that I wanted a flat screen, and it seemed the choice was between Sony and Toshiba. I went with Toshiba because I just liked it a little better, and there are alot of bad things said about the Vegas (good things too). I am delighted with my choice. DVDs look AMAZING! My PS2 looks fantastic on it as well. I highly recommend this set.
