Summary: Great TV, Fast Service!
Review: I purchased Toshiba 32A43 from a local retailer. To my disappointment, from the very first time I turned it on, the blueish bands appeared on the top left corner and right side of the screen. Toshiba technitian is coming to check the product. I will see how they handle this problem, and then rate this product again. Until then, the rating is 2 stars. ************* Technitian checked it out. As he demagnetized TV with special equipment for 5 seconds, the color defects disappeared perfectly. He said that he had seen same problem on some 32" TVs several times. Now whole my family can enjoy this new TV.

Summary: Awesome 32" for the price.
Review: Since the other reviews here already mention this TV's features etc. Ill just get right to it,I saw this TV in Consmuer reports as the highest rated 32" model among the many models tested,also Toshiba has one of the best repair history records according to Consumer reports , afer looking around I found it at Bestbuy.com on sale for $407 (as of 02/3/04), I'm really picky with picture quality (maybe a bit to much? =) but this TV has a really nice picture ,in fact it comes very close in picture quality to our $700 Flatscreen 27" Wega ,Also the sound quality is much better on the Toshiba, my only (minor) complaint would be the 'Black Retention' is a slightly weak (a tv's ability to maintain black in dark scenes without it looking 'grey') turning down the brightness helped this a lot but still not quite on par with the Wega,The factory picture presets on the Toshiba are badly set in my opinion ,After running the Video Essentials DVD I noticed this TV has very good Convergence and only a slight Geometry issue in the bottom left corner(picture "sags" down a bit) ,After running through the video test patterns on the dvd I ended up with the following settings: Contrast 53,Brightness 43,Sharpness 58, Color 48, Tint 0 ,Color Temperature: Medium, This may not be the 'perfect' settings for you but im 99% sure it'l look a lot better than any of the factory preset settings (Movie/Standard/Sports). With these settings watching Cable,playing Xbox or watching DVD's all look great. The remote control is nice ,very similar to a Sony's remote layout,I was able to easily program it to operate my DVD player, VCR and Cable box. For the money you really cant go wrong,Excellent TV overall,Also worth noting is even tho its not a Flatscreen it still looks flatter than most conventional 32" TV's I've seen.

Summary: Quality purchase, good value
Review: The picture is clear and sharp. The picture is much better than our previous television which was a one-year old "32 JVC. The Toshiba screen is much flatter and offers a better resolution. The sound is great, especially the surround sound. There are numerous options to adjust the picture and sound to your personal taste. The price was excellent and very competitive compared to other televisions of similar size and features.

Summary: Great TV for the budget-conscious
Review: The picture is great. The set got great reviews in Consumer Reports and it performs well. And the price was way more affordable than a flat panel. But it is a BIG ASS tv. We needed something upstairs in a room where the tv was 10 ft away from the bed - and this works. However, getting the tv upstairs was a chore. My suggestion - get it delivered wherever you're putting it - or make sure you're only putting it in a room on a ground level.

Summary: great picture tv for a reasonable price
Review: This 32" is a great tv for the price. Since we don't have digital cable we don't need a digital tv and the plasmas tvs are too expensive for us. So after comparing the reviews on amazon and at the store, we decided to get this tv. So far so good though it is on the heavy side so hopefully it will stay in one spot. The colors and sharpness are great! We are happy with it so hope it lasts!!!
