Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Note: The Toshiba 32A42 32" Big Tube TV is no longer being manufactured. You may want to consider purchasing the newer 'Toshiba 32A43 32" TV instead.
Enjoy vivid, high-contrast pictures from Toshiba's 32-inch FST Black picture tube. Affordable, stylish, and loaded with features, the 32A42 makes a great upgrade to a DVD or satellite-based home theater. The set's FST Black picture tube offers a flatter screen than Toshiba's popular Blackstripe tube, one that further reduces ambient light reflections and provides finer dot pitch and increased resolution. This tube increases the screen's viewing angle and improves linearity over standard tubes. The 32A42's three-line digital comb filter and vertical contour correction further enhance resolution by removing blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl (tiny, moving dots of color along a sharp color separation in a vertical line).
The set gives you stereo reception (with 5 watts per channel) and SAP (second audio program), which is often used to broadcast an alternate-language track. The 32A42 derives a heightened sense of stereo separation from its double-baffle speaker system. A ColorStream component-video input provides the ultimate picture quality from interlaced component-video signals; standard composite-video inputs accommodate all DVD players and most other video sources. You get two sets of rear AV inputs (one with S-video) and one set of front AV inputs for easy connection with a camcorder or gaming console. A rear AV output lets you hook up the set with a surround receiver. The 32A42 also has color-temperature control, V-chip parental controls, a sleep timer, and a glow-in-the-dark remote control that controls most manufacturers' VCRs.

Excellent large-screen TV at a bargain price.,
By D. R. Schryer (Poquoson, VA United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Toshiba 32A42 32" Big Tube TV (Electronics)
I'm a fanatic when it comes to the picture quality of TV sets and I've found that Sony and Toshiba TVs consistently rank at the top in picture quality, but Toshiba's are always more reasonably priced. This Toshiba is no exception. Its picture is incredibly clean and sharp, better than many high definition TVs I've seen. Yes, its picture is "only" 32" in an era where picture sizes of 50" and more are available. But 32" is a very impressive picture size and allows for a reasonable price. Most TVs with super-size screens are significantly more expensive and do not have as good picture quality as this Toshiba. If you want a larger than 27" TV with great picture quality at a very reasonable price, you can't beat this Toshiba.

This review is from: Toshiba 32A42 32" Big Tube TV (Electronics)
I did all my homework and read the online reviews, Consumer Reports, etc. and decided I was going to buy to buy the pure flat screen Toshiba this size. All the info. I found raved about Toshiba TV's saying they were Sony quality without the Sony price. When I went to my local retailer, the picture quality between this set (32A42) and the pure flat (32AF42) wasn't that different, so I decided why spend the extra $ for a flat screen. I have no regrets at all because it has a great picture, awesome sound (simulated surround), and using the component video inputs, the best DVD picture I've seen on any TV. While I originally had to talk my wife into buying this TV, she's now the one that says how much she enjoys it. What a step up from our old 27-incher!
