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.

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!
