Advantages: Great Specs and now at a great price
Disadvantages: No off switch

...After spending four months looking for an LCD TV under £500, getting totally confused by all the reviews on various sites and forums, we eventually bit the bullet and ordered the Toshiba 32WL66 last week. We've only had it a few days so it is early days but so far so good. Firstly the price, I think this originally sold for up to £1100 but as Toshiba have now brought out a newer model, it can be picked up for just under £500. To be honest it is mostly the price that swung it for me, most of the other TVs at that sort of price are brands I'd never heard of and whilst some had decent reviews, I wasn't totally comfortable getting such a TV. OK so a bit about the TV. It's a 32"" widescreen model (comes with several different picture modes) that is HD ready. On that point, it comes with two HDMI slots, rather than the one that most...

Advantages: Excellent picture quality, two HDMI, built in Freeview, PC connection, relatively low power consumption.
Disadvantages: nothing major found so far!

...First, I will note that purchasing this TV was as a replacement to the 28 inch Panasonic CRT that I had used for about 8 years. Therefore, the move up to a 32 inch diagonal on an LCD set was quite a cinematic increase. Having been tempted for several months, and seeing that 32 inch LCDs are now down to about the same price that their 26 inch equivalents were at a few months back, I decided to go ahead and buy one, at the right price. I wanted to go with a well-established brand, but having decided that 32 inches was my minimum I had a browse around the internet and some high street retailers. This, the Toshiba 32C3030, I found to be packed with features, considering a reasonable price tag of £460 on dixons.co.uk (available on comet.co.uk at £530 and on the high street for £599!) Set up was quick and easy, just plug the aerial... Read review

Advantages: Value for money,stylish picture quality
Disadvantages: 2 scart connections,sound quality

...We purchased our toshiba 32" lcd tv 6 months ago now and continue to be very pleased with it,one of the main reasons for us purchasing this t.v was we wanted the style,features ie hd ready,size,etc but not having to break the bank,after many trips to currys,dixons,comet etc and checking out almost every tv within our price range £500-£650 we decided that the toshiba ticked all the right boxes,with a sale price of £529.00 It was generally easy to install and if you follow the on-screen menus you cannot really go wrong. Unfortunataly on the back there are only 2 scart connections a pain when you have a sky+box,a dvd player & seperate vcr,and when the kids want to play their game consoles you have to use the yellow,red & white connections on the side,(we are currently saving for sky hd box which iam hoping will free one of the scarts...

Advantages: GREAT SOUND AND PICTURE
Disadvantages: NONE

...I was looking to upgrade my tv and saw this Toshiba 32zp48 and instantly loved the look of it. the TV comes with an in built dolby digital decoder with both co-axial and optical connections. 4 external speakers add to the effects of and film / program encoded with DD. the TV has 3 scart sockets in total two of which are RGB the TV is not too big as the side speakers have been placed at the bottom of the tv instead of on the side of the screen this give it a more sleek design and does not look to big in a small room. The set up itself was a doddle and from the box arriving to watching only took me 35 minutes inc putting up the stand. you get no dot crawl on the picture and the TV comes with 2 RGB scart inputs, which was the main reason for buying the Toshiba in the first place, so my Sky box and DVD player could both...

Advantages: Great picture compared to other TVs, reasonable price, future-proof connectivity
Disadvantages: None

...It is now 2 weeks since I bought my first LCD, HD ready TV. This was a beautiful Sony KDL-32V2500, part of the V-series from Sony, which also includes 40” and 46” models. I have put a lot of research into this purchase, as this is an expensive item and in the end I chose this particular model. I read a lot of reviews, checked the manufacturers websites for technical specifications and spent hours (or, more likely, days) in Sony/Panasonic/Toshiba shops, as well as in Dixons or Currys, to see the difference in picture quality. I was never to buy from a shop though, as the prices are so much higher than in the online shops (hundred of pounds difference). One thing I would like to mention is that I could not find a single review (from people that bought the TC – and NOT from professional reviews) that so complete, so it really gives... Read review

Advantages: Excellent value for money/Great sound and Picture
Disadvantages: Very Heavy & Bulky

...The Toshiba 32Z17B is a beast of a TV, however saying that, it is of a pretty high standard, has an excellent picture quality to it especially as it’s only a 50 hertz, along with the sound which is Dolby Pro-Logic/Dolby Surround. The TV itself weighs a ton, don’t even bother trying to lift it by yourself, unless you want to slip a disc or something, it also does take up quite some room, so again, don’t bother if you have a small place, unless your focal point is your TV. The TV itself has Nicam, Fastext and a Flat Screen, which I must add is of a high quality. It features 3 Scart sockets at the back along with an RGB output. It plays PAL and NTSC, has a digital comb filter, super scene control, super real transient, colour detail enhancer, digital noise reduction, picture size adjustment, bass boost, icon driven menus, on...

Advantages: WOW...too many!!! Performance A*
Disadvantages: How dare you!

...INTRODUCTION Toshiba have always been an excellent brand, along with a brilliant product portfolio (diverse range of products.) This product is a real treat: I use it ti watch HD (High Definition) movies, play games on HD ,watch home-movies I have made on my Toshiba Camileo Pro Camcorder and even use it to surf the net sometimes, instead of my Sony KDL. RANGE OF FEATURES Features of the Toshiba 42Z3030D (Z series): This product has 3 HDMI inputs, PC connectivity, along with 2 Scarts, Component and Composite video inputs, S-video input (in this day and age it is certainly an excellently designed product with all features of a successful LCD tv.) Synergising this product's frame rate allows this product deemed flawless.( A large problem with many LCD tvs is that they do not possess enough frame rates which causes poor... Read review

Advantages: Excellent quality picture and crystal clear sound
Disadvantages: Would be better wall mounted.

...We have recently purchased the Bush LCD32TV022HD and find this item good value for money. Having a considerably large screen, , the quality of picture does not decline at all, as some screen's unfortunately do.. Crystal clear sound. A simple, Realistic set up, With no pulling out hair activity!. And addition to all of that, It has a silver, Super modern funky look, to accessorise your living room. However there is always a "but" to follow!, As fantastic as this Television looks on its curved design stand, I think it would compliment this TV even more if it was optional to come wall mounted, then it would be really ideal!. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Features~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Screen Size 82 CM Screen Format 16:9 HD Ready Scart Connection...

Advantages: Looks amazing
Disadvantages: Terrible remote

...I purchased this TV a year ago for £750 which I thought was a bargain but it breaks my heart to see how much it's going for now i.e £500 odd. Nevertheless its still a cracking looking TV which is being used with an XBox 360. The freeview is quite good and the puicture quality and sound excellent, however very dark colour can become quite graint and pixelated when viewving at an angle, but apparently so do many other equally priced LCD's. The HD graphics are amazing with the Xbox 360 as is watching a movie in HD. My only gripe would be the absolute pathetic remote control supplied with this model. Its lightweight, and the buttons feeble which can cause a bit of a problem when trying to activate any of the Text functions. Funnily enough there isn't actually an on/off button on the unit, so it can only ever be switched off by the remote... Read review

Advantages: Great Looks, Ease of Use and Set-up, brilliant picture and sound quality
Disadvantages: Cheap looking HDMI Cable

...for the umpteenth time) VERY EXPENSIVE up to 4 x the price of a HD DVD player The backing is huge with the likes of Samsung, Sony, Philips, Pioneer, Panasonic, Hitachi, Sharp, Dell and LG all giving it the thumbs up. HD DVD The GOOD Much cheaper and easier to manufacture, Excellent quality on even the early disks. The BAD About half the storage spave of Blu Ray Limited choice of players Not as much support from Hollywood studios (This could very well as none of the Hollywood studios have ruled out producing HD DVDs) The backing, although smaller than Blu Ray, has Toshiba, Sanyo, NEC and the heavyweight MICROSOFT in it's corner. Because of the price issue most experts believe that HD DVD will sell more units than Blu Ray, especially when the Chinese start producing it. Both formats upscale normal DVD's so the picture quality... Read review
