Toshiba REGZA 32RV530U 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review
January 16th, 2010
Toshiba REGZA 32RV530U 32-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review from Arm&Hammer. Excellent Picture, Pros:
- Best part of this TV is the Over the Air (OTA) tuner to get free public broadcast TV stations. Used a paper-clip as the antenna and received over a dozen HD/digital stations with perfect reception in the Washington DC metro area without any dropouts. No cable for me, literally.
- Excellent picture, especially after playing around with all color options. The color can be adjusted to anyone’s preference, because it has separate color adjustments for red, blue, green, yellow, magenta and cyan, as well as, preset adjustments. 1080p display is great for graphics or if using it with a computer. I starred at a lot of 720p displays before ordering this one, for me, I can see better detail (especially background and graphics) with a 1080p display from 8′ away.
- Comes on in 2.5 seconds. Try timing how long it takes to turn on any other manufacturer or previous model year TVs. Channel changes almost instantaneous about 1-2 sec, great for channel surfing. With OTA HD/digital stations this was a challenge for a lot of TVs.
- Sound quality is very good and loud if you need it. At 20% it’s loud enough to fill a medium sized room.
- Low price. If you search enough you can get it at a lower price than last year’s 720p models on clearance or refurbished.
Cons:
- Specs on this TV are not always accurate, different specs. on Toshiba’s website vs. owner’s manual vs. on the box. For example when I weight my 32RV530U it is 26.5 pounds, which is better for me. I wonder what other specs are off.
- Some fuzzyness with fast moving objects, maybe due to refresh rate (5-8ms)or 10 bit panel or 12 or 14 bit processor (listed in owner’s manual.
Whatever the true specs are this TV looks great either way for TV watching or used as a computer monitor.
