Toshiba 32C3030DB

Toshiba 32c3030db - A great TV for the Price , ive had mine over a year and cannot really fault it for the price i paid. My only grumble would be that if you watch it with the volume down very low you can hear the unit humming but this is only apparant at very low volumes so isnt a major problem.

Freeview/Digital picture is acceptable. The other reviewer is absolutely right to say that the settings need a lot of tweaking to get the best out of it. Not sure what he means when he says the Freeview upscales to HD - not possible.Comes into its own when playing back DVD's. I can't comment on playback via standard SCART connection. I have a Cambridge Audio DVD86 player hooked up via HDMI and it is stunning.The sound is mediocre, but a simple L/R lead will wire it through your stereo even if you don't have a fancy AV receiver.What lets this telly down is the contrast and detailing in dark/night scenes. Forget about watching what is occurring onscreen - it blacks out. A film like 'Alien' is an exercise in frustration.If you like your films big and bright then yes - this TV's got it going on. If you like dark Sci-Fi and Film Noir, get something else - there's better out there.In spite of that this TV still represents extremely good value for the money. I bought mine when £599 was the cheapest price, and despite the contrast issues I have no regrets about paying that because when it's good it's very good.

John Lewis do this Toshiba with price matching and offer a free 5 yr warranty on it. Price matched mine with some random store in Bolton and got £200 off the price that JL were originally selling it at.
