Toshiba 32AV502R 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV
Product Description
By combining an HD CineSpeed LCD Display with DynaLight dynamic backlight control, the AV502 Series can bring rich, detailed HD images to any room in your home.
DynaLight Dynamic Backlight
Utilizes advanced histogram image processing to monitor the brightness level of each video frame and automatically adjusts the backlight intensity based on the image content. This precise signal analysis allows for 256 levels of backlight control and can create a Dynamic Contrast that is 7 to 10 times that of the original panel contrast. The result is a powerful picture with deep blacks for increased detail and incredible depth.
CineSpeed Display
Has an LCD Response Time of 8ms or less to ensure that the display is also fast enough for high quality home theater.
Gaming Mode
Enhances the gaming experience by reducing game controller delay. The Gaming Mode allows the video signal to bypass select picture circuitry to shorten the overall signal to screen time. This provides an approximate 33 millisecond response improvement for 60Hz models and 48 millisecond response improvement for 120 Hz models virtually eliminating controller delay.

Standard definition signals look better than the standard def on other 720p TVs |

| I bought the Toshiba 32AV502R for my elderly grandpa. I wanted to get something for him that was easy to use and took up very little space. This TV is working out perfectly for him. He watches TV solely in standard definition. The picture on this Toshiba is better than either of my Panasonics in SD. The colors appear vibrant even in standard definition. The picture in standard definition isn't perfect of course and will likely not impress people used to HD TV. For my grandpa though, this isn't an issue. He likes the picture and is able to use the remote easily.
We also tested the TV in HD and found the image to be quite pretty. The blacks were dark and the colors were vibrant. The TV fits nicely on my grandpa's smallish credenza and doesn't overwhelm his small bedroom. The case is shiny and the speakers are unobtrusive. Overall, my grandpa has had a great experience with this TV and so far it has been the perfect TV for his small space. |

| My new TV arrived today. It took 5 minutes to unpack and set it up. Another few minutes to adjust it the way I wanted. This is a great product for the price. Picture and sound quality are superb. As my last TV was a Toshiba, I didn't have to reset anything on my cable remote. Don't know where all these other buyers are coming from to give anything less than a 5. If I could have, I'd have given this a ten. This isn't a $1500 TV, but that's not what I bought. I am very happy with my purchase. |

| This is a great TV, excellent picture and functionality; however, the first TV was "dead on arrival" - nothing worked except the power light. Obviously I was disappointed, but J&R Music (seller) took it right back and sent a replacement which functions as it should. I was pleased with the service and now have another great Toshiba TV. |
