Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy vivid, high-contrast pictures from Toshiba's 32-inch FST PURE flat picture tube. Affordable, stylish, and loaded with features, the 32AF42 makes a great upgrade to a DVD or satellite-based home theater. The set's massive FST PURE flat tube eliminates intrusive reflections from ambient light relative to conventional CRT designs and broadens the angles from which the screen may be viewed, and Toshiba's Dynamic Quadruple Focus ensures precise resolution from corner to corner.
The 32AF42'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, as in a depiction of a character's striped T-shirt). Meanwhile, velocity-scan modulation improves the definition at picture edges, creating sharper images by slowing the CRT (cathode-ray tube) beam's horizontal scanning during demanding work--say, when rendering transitions from light to dark parts of an image--and speeding it up when scanning easily rendered sections, like broad dark areas.
Two other technologies--black-level expander and color-temperature control--work with brightness levels to enhance image quality. Black-level expansion improves contrast (which results in a sharper, more three-dimensional picture), while Color Temperature Control (Warm, Medium, Cool) gives you the ability to easily adjust the set's white balance to achieve the best picture possible, regardless of room lighting.
The set provides stereo reception (with five watts per channel) and SAP (second audio program), which is often used to broadcast an alternate-language track. The 32AF42 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 (both with S-video) as well as one set of front AV inputs for easy connection with a camcorder or gaming console. A rear AV output lets you hook the set up with a surround receiver. The 32AF42 also features color-temperature control, V-chip parental controls, a sleep timer, and a glow-in-the-dark universal remote control.

You Can't Go Wrong,
By andy7 (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Toshiba 32AF42 32" TV with FST PURE Flat Screen (Electronics)
Great picture, stereo sound, a flat screen so images don't distort, you just can't beat this price. When you turn the "mute" switch on the set it automatically goes into closed caption mode so you can read what everyone's saying even if you can't hear it.The remote is a luminous light-up, easy to manouver, it's all good. Just don't try picking up this set by yourself. It's as heavy as ten of your huskiest chums!

After some research,
By A Customer
This review is from: Toshiba 32AF42 32" TV with FST PURE Flat Screen (Electronics)
The set had the best picture in every store I looked at (still the best way to SEE the quality). The picture and sound quality are great and the input/output jacks service all kinds from the back of the set, plus a set of inputs on the front for a camera. Also, the speakers are in the front, not sides, for better sound in a wall unit. And it does weigh a ton!

Closest to an HDTV you'll find,

This review is from: Toshiba 32AF42 32" TV with FST PURE Flat Screen (Electronics)
It's simple. The latest Consumer Reports review on TV's (spring 2003) gave this TV a rating close to the ones reserved for the HDTV group. Not even the Sony had a picture as good as this one. If you go to the electronic stores, take a good look at this tv and compare it to others. But there's a trick you need to watch out for!The big stores have all of the HDTV's & projection tv's in a darkend area, with the units at eye level and with a direct digital feed. They do this so that the projection and LCD units have a good picture as they tend to wash out under harsher lighting. They also give you plenty of room to step back and observe the picture form a distance (who ever watches a tv from 2-3 feet away!). Take my (and Consumer Reports) word for it and you will be glad that you bought this set. The picture is unbelievable and at this price it is a huge value. You'll save between $100 - $200 over the electronic chains. Gerat set - fantastic price. We got ours delivered from Amazon yesterday and we stayed up late just admiring the picture. Oh - and it has great sound to - you'll love it!
