Amazon.com Product Description
Save space and enjoy a wonderfully vivid picture with the stylish,
32-inch Toshiba 32HL95 widescreen LCD TV, a great choice for your living
room's entertainment center. It has a built-in analog/digital
(NTSC/ATSC) tuner that will receive free over-the-air HDTV signals and
is Digital Cable Ready (via the CableCard slot), so you can enjoy
digital cable without an additional box or remote using an optional
CableCard. It also comes with TV Guide On Screen and Toshiba's
innovative Channel Browser "back" button feature--similar to a PC
browser back button--that allows easy access to recently viewed
channels. The 32HL95 makes it easy to connect to brilliant imagery with
its component and HDMI connections, and it can also double as a PC
monitor.
The 32HL95's video is powered by the PixelPure AT
digital video processor, which offers motion adaptive de-interlacing,
adaptive MPEG processing, and adaptive contrast and color enhancement
for a consistently high picture quality. The HD Dynamic Contrast feature
increases Contrast and Color Saturation to create deep, rich images,
analyzing both the dark and bright areas of the picture, and separately
optimizing the dynamic range in each area of the picture.
The
32HL95 has a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio--perfect for high-definition
telecasts and DVD movies--1366 x 768-pixel resolution, fast 12 ms
(millisecond) response time, wide 170-degree viewing angle, 500 cd/m2
(candela per square meter) brightness rating, and amazing 800:1 contrast
ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to
display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room
light.) It supports 720p (HDTV), 480p (EDTV), and 480i (SDTV) video
formats.
The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the
three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture
changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while
improving transition detail. The Digital Cinema progressive scan (3-2
inverse pulldown) function provides accurate, smooth film reproduction.
Other features include a sleep timer, V-Chip parental controls, color
temperature adjustment, tri-lingual on-screen menus (English, French,
Spanish), channel labeling, and closed captioning on mute.
The
32HL95 has two stereo speakers that provide 10 watts of power per
channel (for 20 watts of total power) and SRS 3D and SRS WOW virtual
surround sound modes. This TV offers the following video and audio
connections:
- Composite AV (RCA) In: 3 (1 side)
- S-Video In: 1
- Component Video In (Y PB PR): 2
- HDMI In: 1
- RF In: 2
- VGA 15-Pin D-Sub: 1
- Digital Optical Audio Out: 1
- Headphone: 1
Customer Reviews
Great TV. Good picture. Only minor annoyances.
Summary: I am very happy with this HDTV. The product works very well
and does almost everything I need.
Why I bought this model:
- Our Samsung 30" HDTV tube died and I didn't like the tube
replacements. I also didn't want another bulky 120-150 lbs. television.
- I wanted a compact HDTV for our small family room. Speakers on the
bottom reduces the width as well.
- Must have ATSC tuner for over-the-air reception.
- It was a great price at Beach Audio.
What my family watches on it:
- Over-the-air HD programming - drama, comedy, sports, kids
programming, etc.
- Widescreen DVDs from Progressive Scan DVD player
- Standard 4x3 aspect DVDs and VCR tapes.
What I like:
- Great size and weight - fits perfectly in our family room.
- Easy to setup.
- Great picture - including fast-moving sports.
- Very good audio with pretty full sound.
- Plenty of inputs that are covered for a cleaner cable area.
- Non-widescreen DVD and VCR input is masked cleanly on the sides.
What I don't like:
- The programming guide is "TV Guide" branded and is not very
intuitive. It lacks some channels and is wrong on others. I would prefer
that they used the ATSC broadcasted programming information.
- For programming that is broadcast with the incorrect aspect ratio,
meaning 4:3 aspect source stretched to widescreen, there is no way to
force the TV to squeeze the picture. Eventually, the TV stations will
correct, but it's frustrating until then. My old Samsung could force the
aspect ratio.
Wonderful LCD TV, worth the price
Excellent TV. Has a great picture in both HDTV and SD modes. No
ghosting and rich colors. Cable Card slot and dual HDTV tuners are
great features at such a price. Easy to use menus with lots of options
for adjusting the set. Swivel stand, sleek design, and good audio
quality. Back of set hides the cords nicely, with a clip for keeping
them in check. HDMI, component video outs, PC-out (15 pin, not DVI),
Audio out.
A couple of things that could be better - Changes the channels
slowly. Has a slight delay from when you push the channel change button
on the remote until it actually changes. Also no PIP feature. Besides
that, it is wonderful.
I recommend this TV highly. It is comparable to the Sharp's and
Sony's, but without the high cost. If you want an LCD TV now, it makes
sense to buy one in this price range, since 1080p LCD's aren't far away
from coming down in price, and upgrading to one of those will be a must
for either Blu-Ray or HD-DVD players.
Excellent HD with built in ATSC Tuner for a
great price WHILE TUNER LASTS
If you are looking for an HDTV with a built in HD tuner, this may be
the set for you. I've owned the TV for 2 weeks. I live in a crowded
city center with tall buildings and with a cheap antenna I can pull in
all local stations in digital and HD when they broadcast - the picture
is fantastic if the signal is 1080i or 720p. I also use an old DVD
(non-progessive scan) player and the picture is pretty amazing. I
haven't had DirecTV hooked up yet, so I can't comment on that picture,
but so little HD is available, I may just get the standard package
without HD and pull in HD over air for now. The TV is very bright and
the picture is very nice once you calibrate it. Set-up is easy and there
are the full compliment of inputs. My only complaint is that the TV
Guide doesn't extract data over-air in my location, but I doubt I would
use it anyway.
Update: after 1 year the HD (ATSC) tuner died - sound but no
picture; can still see DirecTv over HDMI and analog signal fine but no
more over air HD. Bummer.
