Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

If you're looking for a great deal on a reliable, well-built HDTV, the Toshiba 32AV500U gives you plenty of reasons to skip the no-name brands. Every Toshiba flat-panel TV starts with a CineSpeed™ LCD panel, which consistently receives high marks from reviewers for smooth motion handling and wide viewing angles. The glossy black bezel adds a touch of elegance that's unexpected in this price range.

Crisp, clear HD reception is only the beginning
The 32AV500U gives you so many ways to enjoy a great picture. Its built-in tuners pull in all types of local over-the-air broadcasts, from ordinary analog to digital high-definition (antenna required). And a built-in "QAM" tuner lets cable TV subscribers watch unscrambled channels — including local network HD channels — without the added hassle and expense of a set-top box.

All your video sources receive the star treatment
Toshiba's video processing circuitry does a great job of cleaning up analog TV broadcasts and signals from other non-HD sources like a VCR. Also, the DynaLight dynamic backlight control monitors the brightness level of each video frame and automatically adjusts backlight intensity to maximize picture contrast.

Versatile, future-ready connections
The 32AV500U's audio/video connections include two HDMI digital inputs for connecting the growing number of HDMI-equipped components (Blu-ray players, HD cable and satellite receivers, etc.). A standard computer input makes it easy to connect your laptop PC so you can have a bigger view for working, gaming or web-surfing.

This is a Beautiful HDTV July 7, 2008
Reviewer: Jay from Papillion, NE  
For the money, this TV is very hard to beat.  I am using it in the dining room/kitchen area and the picture looks very good.  I have not noticed any loss in picture quality at various viewing angles.  This Toshiba is bright enough that it is not bothered with ambient light and of course with the LCD there is no glare.   With two HDMI inputs it could handle your Blu-Ray player and your HDTV satellite connection if need be. I am getting my HDTV free over the air, with the use of some $20.00 rabbit ears and a short coax cable.  The tuner on this Toshiba picks up the ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, & PBS Digital/HDTV local affiliates.  I am also using this HDTV as a computer monitor at times.  With its VGA input you can simply plug in your laptop and enjoy surfing the net and streaming videos on a 32"screen.  I thought about spending about a few hundred dollars more and getting a 1080p.  Then I found out that very few, if any stations broadcast or are planning to broadcast in so called full, 1080p in the near future.  One final note is that this TV looks great off too, with its polished black piano finish.  Thanks again to all the folks at Crutchfield that helped me make it happen!


 
Excellent TV for the price!! June 5, 2008
Reviewer: Todd from Hemet,CA  
This Toshiba is an excellent TV for the price, setup is easy, the picture is
very clear and sharp, the colors are sharp, and the speakers are very clear
and loud. I also use this TV as a monitor for my laptop to watch videos and
i'm extremely pleased with the picture and sound. The only problem with
this TV is the tuner is slow when switching channels, there is a one to two
second lag when switching channels, this is not much of an issue for me
since i don't flip channels frequently, this is the only reason i didn't give this
TV five stars. This is a very beautiful TV and is even better looking in person
than in the pictures. I highly recommend this quality TV.


 
Great TV March 27, 2008
Reviewer: Henry from Barryville, NY  
This is a great TV and reasonably priced. Set-up was easy and the picture is great after some tweaking. The sound is okay. It's a second TV in a bedroom so I don't need window rattling sound. The only problem I have with it is the Manual Channel Set-up. Here you can set whether a channel is displayed or not. I set a number of channels not to be displayed. I surf through the channels after setting and everything is okay, go back through the channels again and a couple that I set not to display, display. Frustrating. I went through this procedure a number of times with the same results.
