General Comments

After a lot of research, including reading the reviews from this website, I descided upon the 32" Toshiba 32ZP38 Television. I managed to get it at a bargain price of £1,025 from a high street retailer! I have a DVD player, Sky+, Playstation2 and Gamecube, so I wanted a TV that had plenty of the right connections for everything to work.
Building the stand was tricky but setting up the TV was a doddle. Although it did take quite a few re-reads of the manual before I got the hang of it. The stand is smart and compliments the TV very well. Due to its compact design the TV and stand take up less space than my old Philips 28" widescreen!
My advice would be to plug it in and setup the analogue channels before you start connecting anything else to it. Then one by one plug in and setup everyting else. Leave the Dolby Digital and external speakers till last.
Initally I was disappointed by the analogue picture and even the Sky digital picture. But remember that because the picture is so good it shows up the artefacts in a digital signal. After playing aroung with the picture adjustments they both look very good. If you have Sky try watching a football match (or Golf, Motor Racing etc) because the picture from an outside broadcast is brilliant.
Where this set shines is with DVD through the component connections, it's superb! Setup the Dolby Digital and watch something like Lord of the Rings and you'll be very impressed! The onboard sound system is very good, and the external speakers look quite cool too.
This TV comes very higly recommended!

    my experience with the zp38, was devastating! I bought one in media market (Portugal), and its the 5th they change! All tv's were delivering a poor image, with lots of noise even with dvd connection (yuv cable - Black Ródium Green plus, dvd-Denon 2910)! The set itself, is the most beautiful of all tvs i ever seen. But, right now, i'm not so sure if I will keep with the brand. thanks.
