Toshiba 32AV502U Fantastic TV,

The picture is even better than I expected, and it is slim and light and was easy to mount to the wall in the bedroom, now we are not straining our necks to see the tv! Feels like your at the movies in your own room! Love it!

Toshiba 32AV502U Good entry level HD television

I have had this product for about 2 weeks now and am very pleased with it, and I don't even have an "upscaled" or "upconverted" DVD player (yet) and am basically watching 480ip (or whatever they call it). The difference between LCD and CRT is truly amazing. I got it at a really good price and even if deflation drops HDTV prices through the floor (at which point I will cry), I'll feel proud that I helped the sagging American economy as much as I could. Seriously, if you're on the fence, go ahead an get it. It's a well built, solid, crisp, sharp little machine and you'll love it. Like another reviewer said, though, if within a month or so it's sputtering and tweaking on me, I'll revise this so fast it will make yer head spin.

UPDATE: As of 5/18/09 still working fine. I'm very pleased with the set. But, keep it dusted!

UPDATE 2: 7/20/09 Have bought a Sony upscaling DVD player. Now am watching the TV at 1080i. Yes, there is a difference. It's not knock your socks off different, but I do notice it.

Toshiba 32AV502U Great TV

This tv was shipped to me ever so fast. It took about 3 days to receive it. The tv is great. It's easy to set up. The picture is so clear. I've had absolustely no problems with it so far. I have only had it 3 weeks. I would definitely buy another Toshiba.

Toshiba 32AV502U We LOVE this TOSHIBA TV.

I have had this since 3/08/09 & we watch it alot. It is on about 12 hours a day. (we work from home & we keep it on all the time, whether we are watching it or not) It is GREAT..we have no complaints. The picture quality & color is A+++. The sound is fine. It does take a few seconds for the picture to come on while changing channels, but so what, whats 2 or 3 seconds. It's great in regular LCD digital channels, but when I switch it to HDTV..OMG..the picture is superb. One feature we love is when you MUTE it..it "half mutes" on the first click, meaning it goes alot lower in volume yet not totally muted, Than when I click again, it's totally muted. I recommend this Toshiba 32" TV to everyone who wants a great TV at a great price. We also have 2 more TV's..a superb SCEPTRE & a superb Sharp 32" LCD HDTV, yet the Toshiba has us hooked. It is a bit better than our Sceptre & Sharp. I will buy another one soon.

Toshiba 32AV502U Awesome TV

After checking all the stores in my area for flat panel televisions during the holiday season with all the great sales, I was still able to beat all their prices by $50 on Amazon which was an added bonus. We had previously had a Toshiba so we knew it was going to have a sharp picture and it really does.

Toshiba 32AV502U Good Value..

I just got this T.V. around late last year and I have had nothing really bad to say about it. The feature of this TV is great it is HD ready and HDMI ready too. I've hooked up my Xbox 360 to the HDMI port and just wow the game look so clear and even when I watch movies they are just great. The good thing about it is that I still have 1 more port for HDMI so I can still hook up something there if I needed so. There is a port for your computer if you do ever wanted to use the TV as your own monitor. I have tried and it look really nice, but then it didn't made any sense for me to use this feature at all just because I still had my computer monitor, but for the people who still have those bulky comps then this is a good alternative.
Overall this product is a good buy and just good quality hey it is a Toshiba we are talking about here they make good TVs.

Toshiba 32AV502U Great value, very happy with this purchase

I bought this TV after returning a Sony 32M4000.

The picture looks great and the price was considerably cheaper than the Sony. The Sony's picture looked washed out when viewed from an angle and it made people's faces look like the living dead. I do not notice this with the Toshiba. The picture looks wonderful. I also like that the connections on the back are pointed in the downward direction (rather than toward the wall) so that your cables do not have to make a 90 degree bend.

I'm using it in a bedroom so I didn't see a need for 1080P resolution. Overall this TV seems like a good value for the money.

Toshiba 32AV502U Suits my needs perfectly - great image for the money

I have had this product for about three weeks now, and so far I am very pleased with it. The picture, which I receive from an indoor/outdoor antenna is extremely crisp. I would recommend those of you out there pondering whether or not to get cable/satellite to consider simply installing a good antenna - that way there is no video compression, and you actually get a sharper image from the local networks. I honestly cannot tell the difference between my TV's image as a 720p and my brother-law's 47" 1080p Sony.

The TV menu is easy to see and use. I keep my video settings on sports generally, as it is the brightest picture (some of the others, like "movie" are just too dark for me). However, you can also adjust the picture in preference mode, and play around with brightness, sharpness, contrast, backlight, color, and tint.

I also own a wii system, and even though it is not high definition like some other gaming systems, I have to say that the picture on this TV is excellent (especially with the wii component cables attached).

The sound on the TV is also very full - I did not notice any tinniness coming from the speakers at all, and it seemed well balanced between base and treble. It will obviously not produce the same depth of sound as a full sound system, but it suits my needs perfectly.

There is, as the other reviewer indicated a minor lag time when switching between inputs, but this really doesn't bother me. One mildly annoying element however is that most of the inputs (HDMI, component cables (AKA color stream), PC inputs, S-Video, etc.) are on the back of the TV, which is a mild nuisance. The only exception to this is Video 2, which is on the side. (This would probably be good for connecting a digital camcorder and the like).

The only other thing that seems a little inconsistent is PC connectivity. When I hook up my laptop (I use an RGB computer video cable and audio cable since my computer doesn't have a built in HDMI port) it is necessary for me to turn the laptop off, connect the cables and then reboot, or the image will not display on the TV. Perhaps this is a standard thing for most TVs - I don't really know, having never owned an HDTV with PC inputs before. Also, the TV seems to project the computer screen a little differently each time the computer is hooked up, and I sometimed have to do a little tweaking to get an image I'm happy with. This may just require more trial-and-error on my part. Since my primary purpose is to use the TV as a TV screen and DVD player and not a computer screen, this isn't a big deal to me.

On the whole, I am extremely satisfied with this purchase. It does its job well, displaying an excellent, non-pixelated image and it is even an energy star product, so it should save energy and money. There are other good deals on the market, but I really think that this is one of the best. It is hard to beat the price being offered by Amazon right now.

I will update later if my opinion of this product changes or I have anything more to add.
