Toshiba 32AV502R Review: 32” LCD HDTV

Up for Review: Toshiba 32AV502R LCD TV. You will certainly be entranced by the great looks of this TV. With a glossy piano black finish, the TV looks classy enough to add to the décor of your living room. And along with style, comes quality and functionality. The integration of the CineSpeed LCD panel makes it possible to have 8 ms response time which adds to the excitement of the home theater experience. The action sequences are a pleasure to watch because there is no lagging of frames. The absence of blurring brings added clarity to the pictures. There is a very good viewing angle too which allows you to have any seat in the room and still be able to get a clear view of the TV.

There is a unique DynaLight Backlight Control is a magnificent way of adjusting the brightness of every frame so that each pixel gets the intensity it deserves. Consequently, it gives rise to deeper black levels with every detail being stressed upon. A 720p display resolution is good enough for the television programs aired on TV. But when you get into the gaming mode or want to watch movies on the Blu-ray disc player, you can feel the missing clarity in the images due to lack of 1080p resolution. But the 720p resolution does wonders for the prices. There is a considerable lowering in the price tag which makes the TV accessible to a wider section of people.

The audio is probably one of the best features of the Toshiba 32AV502R. The Thinline speaker system with mute and half-mute control lets you play around with the sound of the TV. You can get the particular volume level you want. The dialogues and music will be just the way you want them; you can hear them clearly in any part of the room. The video too is as good as the audio. There is a channel browser which allows you to browse the last 32 channels you have last viewed. Just the touch of a button will allow you to find out the previous channels you were viewing.

Although this model can easily be mounted on the walls, it is better to let it rest on the stand. The 4” depth will not help the TV to look great on the walls. Besides, the cables will also paint a cluttered look which is not good for the living room decoration. Connectivity is quite good with 2 HDMI and a PC input. Toshiba has also taken care of the energy conservation issues by adhering to the Energy Star requirements. This is very heartening for the electricity bills which show no great increases after you get this TV. On the whole, this is a great TV to have for a competitive price of $399.99 MSRP.
