Toshiba 32WLT66 Lcd Tv 80CM Review

After keeping my eye on the price of this for a while, and noticing its clear superiority towards its rival 32" models ( I work in a TV shop ) I borght this at £500 a few weeks back despite having no lounge to put it in. As far as picture is concerned the first thing I noticed was how natural the picture was compared to some of its rivals (I'm looking your way Samsung). Grass wasn't too luminous, And people weren't luminous. Whether watching bright cartoons or darker movie scenes the picture boosts the colours and contrasts automatically giving it the optimum viewing picture. Sound quality is good through the SRS Nicam stereo speaker, both loud and clear yet it seems to be lacking the depth that is apparent in some of its competitors, particulary those with the virtual dolby surround sound.

I am writing this review to warn those comsumers of the damage that can happen to the plasma and LCD TVs. My grandson hit our 2 month old LCD TV with a plastic hammer that weighs less than an ounce and broke the screen beyond repar. The screen in this TV can not be replaced so it is unrepairable. I have been researching this and have found that all plasma and LCD screens are very easily damaged and are not repairable. Be warned, Steve Aulick.

I bought this TV primarily for the football world cup, having previously owned a Sony 21 inch TV and for this reason alone it was the perfect buy. The quality of the picture, esp of DVDs through 1 of the 2 hdmi slots is superb. The built-in digital tuner makes an excellent attempt at showing good skin tones and shadows,and handled all but the fastest action without a flicker. All in all an excellent TV and now I have owned it for a few months, it has finally 'shrunk to normality' after looking huge in our lounge for the first few weeks. A cracking TV
