dbrook's Review of Toshiba 36ZP38 Widescreen TV

2nd Dec 2003

Overall Rating

2 stars

Below average quality on satellite pictures
Dolby Digital & surround lacks mid-range depth
Ghosting/shadows on normal picture


General Comments

Overall, the Toshiba 36ZP38 TV is let down by seemingly obvious issues.

The TV depicts square blocks on satellite channels (despite this not happening with the previous TV set I had).

Even with shielded, OFC cables all-round, my 14 year old mono analogue FST Toshiba produces a better overall result.

Disappointing.

    yes I agree the picture is not what I expected I'v changed all my cabals and still the picture is very poor

    I have since had an engineer out. According to him, the Toshiba set has digital signal processing and so anything but the strongest of signals will mean that noise that comes with a weak signal will be reproduced in the picture quality, especially with a large tube.

    The picture from the DVD is pretty good - far better than from terrestrial TV or Sky.

    Still very disappointing and I would advise anyone wanting a large screen to go for a 32" TFT LCD or 42"/50" plasma.
