Toshiba 32AF43 32" TV with FST PURE Flat Screen
GREAT SET!
It's simple. The latest Consumer Reports review on TV's (spring 2003) gave this TV a rating close to the ones reserved for the HDTV group. Not even the Sony had a picture as good as this one. If you go to the electronic stores, take a good look at this tv and compare it to others. But there's a trick you need to watch out for!<br />The big stores have all of the HDTV's & projection tv's in a darkend area, with the units at eye level and with a direct digital feed. They do this so that the projection and LCD units have a good picture as they tend to wash out under harsher lighting. They also give you plenty of room to step back and observe the picture form a distance (who ever watches a tv from 2-3 feet away!).<br />The standard tv's will be in their normal area, under harsh lights, on metal shelves and very little room between the isles. They also will usually have a standard, non-amplified feed. They get all the glare, may or may not be at eye level, have a feed that has been split 30 times (reducing the resolution) and you are looking at them from 3 feet away. The net result is that the HDTV's and others look lightyears ahead of all the others (with a price to match!!!). The regular tv's sometimes look worse than the 15 year old set you want to replace.<br />Take my (and Consumer Reports) word for it and you will be glad that you bought this set. The picture is unbelievable and at this price it is a huge value. You'll save between $100 - $200 over the electronic chains.<br />Gerat set - fantastic price. We got ours delivered from Amazon yesterday and we stayed up late just admiring the picture.<br />Oh - and it has great sound to - you'll love it!
