Toshiba 32A61 32" TV (Black)
Beautiful Picture IF....
The 32A61 has a stunningly beautiful picture IF you use the composite inputs from the DVD. The picture is just outstanding. It also has a great picture if you use the S Video input from the VCR, but the picture quality just isn't up to the standards of my previous Toshiba 27\\" for standard broadcast TV signals supplied through the coax input. The coax input picture has a lot more noise than my earlier TV.<br />I have connected my TV to a set of external speakers for better sound. However I found that the audio output level is not controlled by the TV like my previous Toshiba TV. So pressing mute does not mute the external speakers! So your audio choices are 1) Don't use external speakers, 2) Use external speakers, but change volume in a two step process, change the volume on the TV, then the external speakers, 3) only use the external speakers, but lose the convenient mute feature....<br />The PIP really works and is very simple to operate! I was dubious about the value of paying the extra for this feature (compared to the 32A41), but it is simple to operate and allows you to channel surf during commercials without missing any of the show you really want to watch.<br />The remote is easy to use and hard to lose!<br />Overall this TV is a excellent value for the money. <br />If you are planning to use it with a good DVD and VCR and you have a high quality output from your cable box, this is the one for you. <br />If you primarily watch broadcast TV over coax, I'd keep shopping.
