I purchased this 32" LCD TV as a "slick deal" recently, which means I
found it at an uncommonly low price, and purchased it on a whim.
Out of the box, I was pleased to learn that the picture quality was going to FAR exceed my expectations. I have discerning taste, and I can say with a clear conscience that the picture quality of this set is on par with what I've seen from Sony & Samsung. The black is black, the contrast is great, and the colors really pop. It is truly a stunning picture! And completely unexpected from a set of this price range (and brand name).
I read reviews that disparaged the sound quality before I received the TV - but I was pleased to learn upon setting it up that the sound quality was fine. It's average, mind you, but not terrible. I have it currently set up in a 14 x 23' carpeted & fully furnished family room and it sounds fine. I just wish it had an "analog audio-out" port so I could hook up one of my subwoofers to it.
Besides the picture quality, theHDTV antenna reception was an unexpected
surprise. It's outstanding! I don't have an antenna connected to the TV,
yet it pulls in every local channel that I get on my other LCD TV (that
has a highly rated Leaf antenna connected to it)! In fact, this Toshiba
TV provides BETTER reception than my other TV. None of the channels
"come in and out." They just work, all the time, clear as day, in high
def. Pretty impressive stuff! [In the spirit of full disclosure, my
other LCD TV is a few years old and might not have a great tuner. So
maybe all LCD TVs have great in-the-box reception these days. Take my
feedback for what it's worth.

All in all, I'm very impressed with this set from Toshiba. I never would have purchased one of their sets if I hadn't gotten such a good deal on it, but now I've opened my mind to their TVs. They certainly did a good job with this one! Particularly around the picture quality and over-the-air HDTV reception.
