Toshiba 32C100U 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV (Black Gloss) Review
Customer Reviews
This is my first HDTV, but not the first time I had experience with. I never knew what to expect from her when I plugged in, but I'm not at all satisfied with this TV.
My main uses of this TV are:
HD games (Xbox 360)
SD Gaming (Wii, PS2)
and DVD
Usability:
The remote is easy to read and easy to use. It is much easier than my TV remote control and just get a precedent for what I want. It is easy to adjust input channels: TV,Video, ColorStream HD (channel for the composite connections), HDMI 1, HDMI 2 and PC. You have to see also the choice of 6 different species, which on the screen, which in practice when switching between HD game consoles, which is against it a bit more and Posters Non-progressive SD.
Display quality and clarity:
The screen shows very well, dry and clean. The reaction time and the contrast is very good, just by looking with a discerning eye. My games play real HD videowell and when I play RPG or FPS games pace, everything comes out clear, sharp and without artifacts if the image moves fast. DVD display, loud and clear, I do not have to squint or play with contrast to do everything, even in games or movies darker.
Another great thing about this TV is that you pivot in line very strange, sometimes almost completely opposite side for a significant loss in image quality. You have no right to sitIn front of him get in the picture well, and sometimes I'm on the floor of a low-brow television watching her sitting and she is always clear and perfect. So if you're pressed for space, as I am, it is a great TV.
Sound:
It's a bit Tinnie that his emphatic my previous series, but it's still very good, without said a spokesman. The band is really good, and it looks gorgeous for the sounds of my 360th With or without speaker home theater, it seemsfantastic.
Overall, there is a large complex, doubly so if you are looking for price-for-money.
I am an ordinary observer DVDs and hardcore gamers, which is good for me and my family, how to use it to watch TV.
The ONLY gripes I have with it is that I wish they would have a length of cable and other composite cable connection, but it is very good for what I am today.

- Photo Frame capability allows this HDTV to act as both a TV and a digital photo frame. You can showcase your favorite memories as a clear, crisp slide show on the high-resolution television screen–all controlled with just the TV remote.
- Gaming Mode takes the gaming experience to a new level by reducing game control delay, thus giving the player improved reaction time and a more realistic playing experience. This is great when used with popular gaming consoles, or with PC games using the TVs PC Input.
- Built-in ATSC/NTSC/QAM digital tuning allows for tuning of standard cable channels as well as off-air digital broadcasts, in addition to digital “cable-in-the-clear” broadcasts.
- Native Mode restores the size of the picture by the 3-5 percent that is generally lost during the normal over-scanning that occurs on traditional sets.
- Cinema Mode 24 fps (3:2 Pulldown): This HDTV performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too–a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.
- Color Temperature Control enables you to adjust white balance to achieve the best television picture possible in any viewing environment, or simply adjust the picture to suit your personal tastes. The “Warm” setting delivers a redder image that is ideal for display in a dimly lit room, while “Medium” and “Cool” provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as room light levels are increased.

- Input labeling enables you to name the individual inputs to denote usage, such as “DVD Player” (instead of having them display as just “HDMI 1″ and “HDMI 2″).

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
 |
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.
If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
