Toshiba 32AV502U 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV Review



I have been taking advantage of an excellent HD picture quality of 720p through my new Toshiba 32AV502U 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV. This model has proved to be a great accessory for my top quality home theatre and I also use it as a PC monitor sometimes through its PC input. It has an in-built ATSC/ NTSC/ QAM digital tuning feature allowing me to tune the standard cable channels and also off-air digital broadcast channels, apart from digital cable-in-the-clear broadcast channels.



As far as its installation is concerned, it is easy to be set on the stand and its cable hook up, play station and TIVO unit are very easy. The initial setting of all the channels is pretty fast and easy and the picture quality is just great. The crisp picture quality can be received through an outdoor/ indoor antenna and if you are not interested in getting a cable or satellite, you can simply install an antenna and there will be no compression and the images will be sharper than you could imagine.
The menu can be easily navigated and used, and I usually keep my settings of video on sports only, as it gives me brightest pictures which I like. However, the picture can also be adjusted in the preference mode and customize the brightness, sharpness, backlight, contrast, tint and color.
As far as the sound quality is concerned, the TV gives full sound. The treble and base seems to be well balanced and the sound system is just perfect for my needs. Various inputs, including component cables, HDMI, S-Video and PC inputs are situated on the TV’s back while the Video 2 input is situated on its side.
As a whole, I am really satisfied with this TV and it has done its job really well by displaying excellent and non-pixelated images. Being energy star, it also helps in saving money and energy.

I bought my new Toshiba 26AV502U 26-Inch 720p LCD HDTV four months back after reading a lot of reviews of the market and on the Internet. Since then, I am having a unique TV viewing experience that I could never imagine. Its 720 p HD picture quality has just surprised me because I had never thought that such an excellent picture quality can be obtained at low cost. This model has proved to be a great attachment for my home theatre system and with the help of the PC input, I also use it occasionally as an alternative to my computer monitor. It has in-built feature of ATSC/ NTSC/ QAM digital tuning that makes tuning possible for a standard cable channel in addition to off-air digital broadcasts and digital cable-in-the-clear broadcasts.

It has an in-built HDTV tuner, thin-line speaker system and 2 HDMI inputs. The picture quality of the TV is amazing and it is highly efficient as it also helps in saving a good amount on energy bills. With its 2 x 5 watt speakers, its sound quality is also good and is far better than its other competitors. At first, I was not satisfied with its viewing angles, but with the help of its user’s manual, I was able to tilt its screen and now I have got a big difference in its viewing angle quality.
Other features that I like most about this TV are: Dyna Light Backlight, Discrete IR codes, Theatre Wide Picture modes and compatibility to Vesa (200 mm x 200 mm). The display area is 26 inches with an aspect ratio of 16: 9. The input video signals are VGA, ATSC, QAM and NTSC and input terminals video are S-Video, VGA and Component HD. The inputs include HDMI In and outputs are Digital Audio Out. It just matches the interior of my drawing room as it is 19.8 inches in height, 26.4 inches in width and 3.7 inches in depth.
