Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A real customer favorite, the Toshiba 32AF41 32" FST Pure Flat Stereo Television delivers all the top-of-the-line video and audio components you'd expect in a high-end television today.

Video Features
This set features Toshiba's FST Pure Fine Pitch Flat Picture Tube, which provides a clear, sharp picture and reduces the glare normally associated with curved-screen sets. Its three-line digital comb filter also enhances resolution by removing the blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl. Toshiba includes its heat-resistant Invar Shadow Mask technology, which prevents picture discoloration that often results from overheating. This also allows the set to work at a higher voltage, producing brighter whites and improved color and contrast. This set also features Dynamic Quadruple Focus--for better-controlled picture tube rays that produce a crystal-clear picture equally across the entire screen--and Advanced Velocity Scan Modulation, which improves dark to light transitions, contrast, and overall picture sharpness.

Audio Features
The 32AF41 features Surround Sound, and two rear A/V inputs, a rear S-Video input, front panel A/V inputs, and A/V outputs. It also sports SBS, or Sub Bass System, a bass-boost feature that provides a noticeable boost to the unit's low-frequency sound reproduction, lending greater general audio presence.

Other Features
A Glow universal remote, built-in V-Chip parental control, closed captioning, and multiple display options are among the other standard features of this set.

This is truly a wondrous set: the flat screen gives every image more depth and range, and the picture is tremendous. True, it doesn't have a built-in clock feature (which is fine as long as you have a VCR that does), and the set is massively heavy, but its well worth these minor inconveniences.

I checked into many, many different sets, researched for months, and kept coming back to the Toshiba brand. Regular programs look spiffy and DVDs postively resonate. For the money, this is about the best there is.

One thing to take note of, though: if you buy this set, be prepared to buy a special TV stand you can mount it on. This TV is heavy enough to flatten anything undersized, so be forewarned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV!, January 1, 2002

I did a lot of research and narrowed it down to two brands: Sony and the Toshiba. I went down to a nearby electronics store and compared the picture quality and color and the Toshiba, by far, has the better picture. This is, no doubt, the best tv for the price...Sony jacks up their prices way to high for the quality of product they are selling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely love this TV!!!, March 6, 2002

This review is from: Toshiba 32AF41 32" FST Pure Flat Screen TV (Electronics)

I recently graduated from college, got a good job and moved out of my folks house. I knew my first big purchase for my first apartment would be a television. I started out practical looking at 32" tubes, but after a few visits to ...[the local store] I was hooked on flat screens.

...I compared Sony and the Toshiba, the display units were side by side and it seemed to me that the Toshiba had an obviously crisper and clearer picture, and it ...[costed] less! Also with it's silver finish and side mounted speakers the Toshiba's design was more eye catching. It might have been cheaper but it looked more expensive that the Sony to me. At first I was nervous because I had never bought anything this expensive before, but within 5 minutes of setting up and flipping through channels I knew I had made the correct decision, flat screens rule! And this Toshiba rules them all!

I do have one complaint though, the remote is a bit hokey, seems like a cutting edge flat screen television should come with a back-lit universal remote, or at least one that can control a DVD player. To me the remote just seemed cheap, that's ok though I got a universal remote to fix that problem!
