Considered buying a Sony Bravia or a Panasonic Viera as they generally get the best reviews but they were a little more than I wanted to pay. I also wanted a 5 year guarantee so bought the Toshiba from John Lewis Online.
I’ve had it for a couple weeks now and I’m very pleased with it. The picture quality is very good particularly the colour rendition and the clarity. It’s a new 2009 model coming out in April and it has features on it like Resolution+ , Metabrain (whatever that is) and Activision II that were previously only on higher spec models – this is the budget model in the 2009 range. The resolution is 1366×768 not the full HD 1920×1080 but from the reports I’ve read the difference is not noticeable on TVs 32″ and below, so why pay the extra for full HD? There is a full HD version, RV635 series that costs an extra £100.
Set up was very easy, the menus are straightforward with loads of options to customise the picture settings and the sound quality from the inbuilt speakers is good. There are 4 pictures modes that you can set up ‘Auto’, ‘Dynamic’, ‘Standard’ and ‘Movie’ which you can easily toggle through to find the best picture to suite what you are watching. Overall an excellent TV at a very good price.

Everything about this TV is great. The instructions re set up were easy to follow and I had the TV working within ten minutes of opening the box. The handset is easy to work and the overall picture is superb. Indeed my son in law reckons the picture quality is better than his Samsung model which cost £100 more. I like the look of the set. It stands well. I also bought a TVonics digital video box to go with the TV.The two go well together and I can happily record up to 220 hours of programmes.
Very pleased with the Amazon delivery service. I ordered the TV on a Sunday evening and received it (as promised)on Wednesday lunchtime. As had opted for free delivery I was delighted with the quick delivery.

Had a look at lots of other 32inch TV’s of various makes but this one seemed to be good value for money and a great price on Amazon. It arrived quickly and was very easy to set up. I am very pleased with the picture quality so would recommend this TV.

Similar reasons to the first reviewer in the purchase of this TV…..I didn’t want to spend over £350 and we watch mostly freeview and basic DVD’s. I must say that i’m impressed, i considered the Panasonic x15 model but that is £100 more, I considered the Toshiva RV635 model but the 1080p screens tend to stretch freeview even more across the screen. The colours and blacks are great. The resolution + features actually does a great job in cleaning up freeview signals. So it’s 4/5 for me….my only negative is that watching the tv from an acute angle isn’t a great experience as it loses contrast. Please don’t buy the cheap stuff from tesco or asda….this is a great TV for the money!

My Toshiba 32AV635DB arrived yesterday, and wow! I really was amazed at how good the picture was! The picture is just so sharp, it actually looks like everything is HD When your sat a reasonable distance away. I sit about 8 feet from it (When im in bed) and the picture, as one of the other reviewers said, really jumps out at you!
The interface is really easy to use, although i had to play with the settings for an hour or so before I was happy. I have a Toshiba DVD recorder with Freeview and the guide was painfully slow! The EPG is always up-to-date and really easy to look through. The sounds is actually pretty good too. I have the bass quite high, which I think makes quite a lot of difference
I primarily use the TV for my PS3 and I was amazed at the quality! With it not being 1080p, I don’t think it makes much difference although I’m a bit confused because my PS3 recognises it as 1080p
I Have a Sony 40W4500 in my lounge, and actually the quality of Freeview on this Toshiba is better then my Sony!
I was a little put off by the price of This Toshiba at the beginning (Because you normally get what you pay for), But honestly i strongly recommend buying this TV! It is such good value, and i love how the Toshiba logo glows like the Sony.
My only withdrawal is the fact that the remote control looks a bit cheap (Like a Hotel Remote) But this isn’t a major issue as it’s well laid out and functional.
I was first considering the Toshiba 32AV615DB, but for £10 more you get so much more features, function and better quality TV! I really do recommend buying this TV!
