Toshiba 32RV753B 32-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p Digital LCD TV with Freeview HD
Excellent
Excellent TV. I've owned a couple of Samsung LCD TVs in the past and this is streets ahead.
The main reason I opted for this model was the fact it came with a Freeview HD tuner, which means I can save £100+ on a new tuner when Freeview HD starts in my area in September. Until then I can't comment on that functionality however I have tried the TV on 1080p with the Xbox 360 and the picture is fantastic: very sharp and no blurring. Standard TV pictures are also crisp and sharp, probably due to the Resolution+ upscaling system. The TV also has some clever features such as adjusting the picture settings based on ambient light levels and also when there is a lot of black onscreen.
As for sound the TV has 'Dolby volume' (Google this) which normalises the sound when the adverts come on or you change channel or input. This really does work which surprised me, no more reaching for the remote when the adverts come on. The sound in general is very rich (this is where my Samsung TVs have tended to be poor) with plenty of bass and no case reverberation.
I haven't tried out the LAN networking feature or USB, these are a bit gimmicky for me, but I'm sure they will appeal to some people.
Finally, the case and remote are attractive and the TV is very responsive when you push the buttons. Also, the Toshiba logo is softly illuminated on the case, which is very cool.
Recommended.
