Toshiba 32HF73 32" HDTV-Ready TV with FST PURE Flat Tube
Great TV
It was frustrating when I was planning on buying this TV because I could only find one review on it.  So I decided to write my first review in order to help anyone interested in this TV.  I used a few in store side by side comparisons (discussed later) before the final decision.  I also went by the fact that Toshiba TVs have long been competitive with Sony in performance, reliability and features, but are usually a bit cheaper.<br />This TV has all of the inputs you could ever need (DVI, 2 HD components, S videos, etc.)  So far I have used both the DVI and the Color Stream component inputs.  I first bought a Samsung HD931 DVD player (w/ DVI) but that product turned out to be unreliable (reading DVDs; the picture itself from the DVI looked great on this TV) and a week later I grabbed a Toshiba SD4900 (for $220 less) which looks great when paired with this TV.  The picture is crisp, clean, clear and vivid.  My son's movies like Finding Nemo, Ice Age, Shrek etc. look incredible and can truly show you how impressive HD can look.  I have also checked out a number of my own DVDs such as The Fifth Element, The Matrix, Heat and Gangs of New York.  Each one looked great but some movies need manual fine tuning to look their absolute best.  DVDs are often filmed differently and the 1080i or 720p selectable option along with the film or video (3:2 pulldown) selectable option can really make a differnce in getting the best possible picture for DVDs. The picture straight from standard cable is not as good as my regular non-hd Sharp TV on some channels.  You have to remember this is not the TV's fault.  It is being given a weak signal and is attempting to improve upon it.  Sometimes it will blur a bit on standard cable channels when the contrast is set too high, but many channels look very good on the set.  It all depends on the signal that station is using.  In addition to movies I am also a sports junkie and the far away quick action of basketball and hockey are not very clear at all on standard cable channels.  However, I know ESPN HD and CSN HD will remedy that situation.  I am getting Digital/HD cable this weekend from comcast and plan to use the DVI hookup for that.<br />I absolutely love the remote which glows in the dark and has conveniently placed buttons.  I didn't even try to operate my Harman Kardon receiver with it, but it logically works my Toshiba DVD player (which strangely has a horrifyingly bad remote) and it also works my Panasonic VCR.<br />I shopped around and did as much research as possible before I bought this TV. This TV absolutely blew away the new Zenith model(C32V36)in a side by side and to me looked better than the Panasonic 32&quot; HD model as well.  I have to admit the Sony 32(32HS510) inch HDTV looked a very small fraction better when compared next to this model in the store, but it was too deep for my entertainment center.  That being said, I am definitely not disappointed.
