Toshiba 32AF43 32" TV with FST PURE Flat Screen
Very Satisfied with this purchase
Purchased this recently offline, and just hooked this puppy up last week. I have svideo coming from digital cable, svideo from x-box, and component for my toshiba dvd player. The picture is super solid....A huge step up from my old analog tv. DVD looks particularly stunning. The colors are sharp and the images clear. Its not quite hdtv quality (obviously), but it is damn good. I find myself watching shows just for the visual pleasure based on the superb picture. I was gonna go hdtv, but didn't based on limited programming, and trouble I have heard about with standard cable programming. Back to the 32af43- as far as analog goes, I couldn't imagine anything better. Picture-solid, Remote- fine, Ease of use- for sure. THe only word of caution I would give is with regard to major scare I had when first turning on. I have heard about how flat picture tubes can distort, and are sensitive of magnetic pull. I didn't have any other electrical equipement even close to the tv. I turned it on and had a green shine from a few of the edges, proliferating a few inches onto the screen. I was mortified (repair/return- what a pain!). But after the I moved the tv off the floor into my wall unit no green edges, blurr....all good. Perfect. <BR>All in all, for the price, I would definately rec. The picture is great, I have had only great experiences with TOshiba, and they have the courtesy to warranty parts and labor for a year (unlike sony). The inputs are more than enough (1 svid front 1 back, 1 component back, and a couple of standard av inputs). Toshiba also added 16:9 pulldown (which was previously only availible through service menu....and they stayed with the movie/sports...cool/medium,warm color settings which are fine. They also have a memory function for saving settings.<BR>Gave it a 4 based only on the fact that I have only had it a week, and I judge electronics like athletes....over the long term. Other than that its a 5 baby!
