Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Product Description
Toshiba's Regza line of TVs marry state-of-the-art technology to hip design. One feature that sets them apart is PixelPure 14-bit digital video processing, which creates more than 4,000 levels of color gradations for a smooth, natural-looking picture without posterization or image banding. Another benefit is a fast response time. Response time is the interval an LCD screen takes to from its darkest color to its lightest color and back again, measured in milliseconds (ms). This screen's response time is 8 ms, which is at the faster and better end of the spectrum. This screen is likely to display cleaner, sharper images during high-action scenes and with fewer image artifacts than other screens in its class. This technology is housed in a black gloss cabinetry that is sure to fit well with most any decor.
The 32HL67 has a panel resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. This qualifies it as 720 progressive-line HDTV, which is a noticeably better picture than standard definition sets, but not as detailed as the 1080 HD sets available. Its 16:9 wide screen aspect ratio delivers most movies the way they were meant to be seen in the theater, without back bars wasting the top and bottom of the screen.
The Value of LCD TVs
Aside from their obvious aesthetic value, LCD TVs are much more practical in the home than CRT (tube-style) televisions. They take up a smaller footprint, and thus use up less floor space in the room. Also, LCD TVs are lighter and easier to move around when cleaning or redecorating. The 32HL67 is only 4.65 inches deep and weighs less than 35 pounds. Best of all, LCD screens use less power than CRTs and plasma screens.
Connections
The set has a built-in digital television tuner, so out of the box it can receive digital broadcast ATSC signals and QAM signals used by most digital cable providers. It also has a built-in 181-channel NTSC tuner, so it can also accept traditional analog signals. It can also make these connections to your audio and video components:
- HDMI inputs: 3
- ColorStream HD component video inputs: 2
- PC monitor input: 1 VGA 15 Pin D-sub
- S-video input: 1
- A/V inputs: 2
Audio
The unit's SoundStrip speaker system hides the unit's speakers in a thin strip bordering the screen. They're powerful enough to deliver big stereo sound, but they don't add significantly to the size of the set. Toshiba's StableSound feature maintains television volume within a preset range regardless of the source signal. This is an extremely useful feature when transitioning between a quiet television program and a very loud commercial advertisement or when changing channels. SRS WOW, a combination of SRS 3D, TruBass, and Focus sound-expanding systems, create a 3-D sound field with improved bass response over standard TV audio and create directed, three-dimensional audio sweet spot for maximum enjoyment. The TV also has optical digital output for connecting to your audio system.
32-inch wide screen
A general rule of thumb for selecting the right size television screen is that the screen width--not its 32-inch diagonal measurement--should be between three and five times the optimum viewing distance, such as the distance from the TV screen to where your eyes are while sitting on the couch. Less than that and you may be distracted by the scan lines of the picture. More than that, and you may lose the detail of your TV. Based on this guide, the 32HL67 is ideal for viewing distances of seven to 12 feet.

Customer Reviews
Owned two of these within the span of two years and heres what i have to say
I did alot of research and comparisions and for the price and the picture i got from this LCD TV it was well worth it. The three HDMI inputs and other ports are excellent for a gamer and movie watcher that I am. The complaint i have with the two that i purchased is reliability. I purchased the tv and within a year i experienced power issues with the system. I bought an extended warranty and was able to replace it with the same model. I thought it may have been my surge protector so rather than taking a chance i bought a 70 dollar surge protector to protect my second tv and wouldnt you know it 6 months later i experience the same problem the tv would not power up. rather than getting the same one again i decided to spend an extra 500 dollars and went with samsung. I would recomended this tv but you'd be taking a chance. in all i spent 300 dollars on two extended warranties when that could have gone to a bigger tv. Buyer beware
Very Disappointing Quality - stay away from this one!
After 6 months the power supply failed and the TV will not power up normally. If you hold the power button in for 1 minute it may 'reset' and power up, but not always. So, I have a TV that works only when it wants to. It does have a nice picture, but that's not exactly useful if it doesn't power on. I am currently working with Toshiba to get it fixed under warranty. I have seen this complaint from other customers, so it does not appear to be an unusal problem. I would guess there is a systematic quality/design issue with the power supply.
Probelms with the picture
This TV has a nice picture when working, but in the last 3 months I had to replaced 2 times, due to problems with the the picture (no picture at all). This is not a reliable TV.
