 Currently the best 32" LCD for the price |

Pros:
- Best part of this TV is the Over the Air (OTA) tuner to get free public broadcast TV stations. Used a paper-clip as the antenna and received over a dozen HD/digital stations with perfect reception in the Washington DC metro area without any dropouts. No cable for me, literally.
- Excellent picture, especially after playing around with all color options. The color can be adjusted to anyone's preference, because it has separate color adjustments for red, blue, green, yellow, magenta and cyan, as well as, preset adjustments. 1080p display is great for graphics or if using it with a computer. I starred at a lot of 720p displays before ordering this one, for me, I can see better detail (especially background and graphics) with a 1080p display from 8' away.
- Comes on in 2.5 seconds. Try timing how long it takes to turn on any other manufacturer or previous model year TVs. Channel changes almost instantaneous about 1-2 sec, great for channel surfing. With OTA HD/digital stations this was a challenge for a lot of TVs.
- Sound quality is very good and loud if you need it. At 20% it's loud enough to fill a medium sized room.
- Low price. If you search enough you can get it at a lower price than last year's 720p models on clearance or refurbished.
Cons:
- Specs on this TV are not always accurate, different specs. on Toshiba's website vs. owner's manual vs. on the box. For example when I weight my 32RV530U it is 26.5 pounds, which is better for me. I wonder what other specs are off.
- Some fuzzyness with fast moving objects, maybe due to refresh rate (5-8ms)or 10 bit panel or 12 or 14 bit processor (listed in owner's manual.
Whatever the true specs are this TV looks great either way for TV watching or used as a computer monitor.

| I've owned this set for several weeks now and am very impressed by the overall picture quality. The images are sharp, the blacks are reasonably deep, the colors are well balanced, and there is no backlight bleeding. I recommend turning down the backlight to 50 or less (mine is at 40) to get the best picture. Sound quality is only mediocre but I use mine with a 5.1 surround system, so that is not a problem for me. I don't know how this set compares to Sony or Samsung because those sets will not fit in my cabinet, the Toshiba does - which is another plus for people with tight spaces. BTW, the dimensions given on the US web site for the set are incorrect - they slightly overstate the actual dimensions. Go to the Canadian website for the correct dimensions if this is critical to you. Also the owner's manual is available through the Canadian website. |

This product was perfect for me. The delivery time was right on time. It only took 5 days to arrive. Everything was in perfect condition.
Pros: Perfect 1080p tv which is hard to find with a 32" model. PLays blue-ray games and movies great with exceptional picture. The blacks are very black and virutally no cloudiness that I can see. Excellent number of inputs. Menus look very nice and easy to use.
Cons: None that I have noticed so far and I have ownweed it one month while running a ps3.
All in all. If you are looking for a nice 1080p TV but don't want some thing huge. This tv is perfect. I have limited space but still wanted the best picture I could get and this TV is great. The price was amazing aswell considering all the specs that it has. I think this is the best deal for smaller LCD TVS out there right now. |
Great Picture, Great Value

I purchased this t.v the other day and i was stunned. The t.v i had before this was a 19" Samsung putting out 720p,so this was a big step up.
This Toshiba puts out crystal clear 1080p full HD. Which if your into Video games such as the PS3 or Xbox 360 is awesome .I run my Blu-ray and DVD's thru HDMI and and they look awesome. If you have an HD cable box and HDMI hookups this thing will not disappoint. I would have to say, before this i was not a fan of toshiba products but this t.v is a spectacular product and i defiantly recommend it.
Another great feature is this t.v has FOUR HDMI hookups which is awesome. No more reaching behind and unplugging and plugging things back in. The sound is pretty amazing being as i do not have my surround sound hooked up to it yet.
Its a bit pricey but if you are going to pay 600 for a Sony or another name brand thats only putting out 720p its totally worth dropping the extra cash and experiencing full true HD.
**** I read the two star review about this t.v and how it started to get gray lines running down after a couple months. Keeping in mind i have only had the t.v for a couple weeks but i did buy the extended warranty just incase. Personally i do not see this happening,and it seems to only have happened to one person. |
Possibly the best TV ever.

I will be brief: I had an older Toshiba 32HL67 that was broken due to a daughter and an errant drumstick. That one was incredible and I replaced it with a Sony Brevia 32 inch TV. I'm sure it was "ok" but the color was blocky, the curves on the TV things were jagged, it just looked terrible.
So I bought this TV. Good lord, it is perfect. Even on the lowest standard definition composite video everything looks incredible. Colors are bright and there is no block-like artifacts. The edges of curves are smooth and flawless even when blown up to the full screen size. The speed is no problem for Rock Band on a PS2.
And the HD performance is unbelievable. Menus are easy to follow, and setup is a snap with a good manual.
The only problem is once you start to use these REGZA models you will not be able to go back to a mere Samsung or Sony TV. It's just a different class in itself.
