Digital TV offers new ways to enjoy your TV. You will have a greater choice of TV channels as well as access to additional features and services which will enhance your TV-watching experience. When the digital switch happens in your area, your older analogue TVs will no longer be able to pick up a signal. To keep your normal TV service running, you will need to convert your TVs to digital before your area’s switchover date. Switching your home to digital is easy. All you need to do is purchase digital tuner and connect it to your analogue TV or alternatively, you can replace it with a new digital TV. All Toshiba LCD TVs carry the Digital Tick and come with Freeview built-in, making them the ideal option for preparing your home for the digital switch. Active VisionActive Vision is our acclaimed high performance picture processing system. It has been designed to produce high quality, high definition images by enhancing core elements of a television picture: Detail: Images are now spread over a larger number of smaller pixels compared to a conventional LCD TV. Colour: Active Vision reproduces colours with more tones than conventional LCD televisions, producing images with reduced banding for a smoother, more realistic colour progression. Movement: Picture sharpness in fast moving scenes is increased, with a reduction in the jagged edges often seen on lines and fine detail. Contrast: The monitoring and adjustment of contrast, enhances detail and increases the ability of the television to represent subtle shade changes. Dynamic ContrastDynamic Contrast decreases the TV’s backlight brightness in dark scenes and increases brightness in highly-lit scenes. Getting the best picture detail requires the right balance between brightness and contrast, too much or too little of either is a problem. Toshiba’s Dynamic Contrast technology automatically adjusts the LCD panel backlight, depending on the level of brightness required by the original signal. Dimming the backlight enables the system to reproduce fine detail and render dark scenes more realistically, with blacks having much greater depth. Increasing backlight brightness for scenes requiring more colour, produces more vibrant images with a greater intensity. HDMIPut simply, HDMI is the new industry standard for the connection of home entertainment equipment. High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connections between TV, DVD and other digital equipment are gradually replacing older SCART connections and make it possible to deliver high definition pictures and sound to your HD Ready TV. The REGZA AV61 Series has 3 HDMI connections, making it possible to connect 3 HD sources (satellite -TV, DVD, games consoles etc) to your TV at any one time.

32″ Toshiba Regza
I am very pleased with this television that I am considering buying another.
Picture quality is excellent,Sound quality is very good once you decide on which settings suit…
After much searching and reading numerous reviews on lcd tv’s I finally settled on buying a Toshiba but when I went to purchase the tv there was a link to this one which was the newer model. Although there was no reviews for this model I took a gamble and ordered it anyway. I am very pleased I did. The tv is for my bedroom and I love it. The picture has been great on digital tv, movies and (after a little playing with the settings) the picture is truely amazing when playing my xbox 360. For the price I think the picture is great, I really can’t fault it. Soundwise if i was using it as my main tv in the living room I would probably invest in a surround sound system to get really deep sound but for a bedroom tv it is really impressive. I turn off bass boost when watching normal tv, turn it on when watching movies and when playing the xbox I turn on bass boost and surround sound to get a realy loud deep sound that totally immerses me in the gameplay. My only criticism of the tv (which may be down to me missing a setting but I’m not sure) is that when using the EPG and going through the channels to see what is on the tv switches to the highlighted channel. This is my only annoyance with the set as it means I can’t watch one channel and see whats on the others at the sametime. Overall a great tv at a great price that you can have up and tuned in about 10mins that includes fitting the stand

Sound Limitations
I have just bought this Toshiba Regza 32AV615DB 32-inch telly and am pleased with it except for the sound quality from the inbuilt speakers at the base of the screen.
I remember my parents buying a 32″ HD Ready TV for nearly £1000 not that long ago. When my old TV went bang, I was expecting to pay at least £800 for a 32″ TV. I couldnt believe I paid less than £400 for this. It’s a real beauty, nice design and amazing when connected to my XBox 360. I feel I’ve wasted the last few years of my gaming life! It’s nice to have the digital tuner built in and the menus are simple and I was up and running in less than 5mins from getting the TV plugged in. Picture on Freeview/ Digital is really decent (I get a “good” Digital signal) Sound wise it’s up the job – I still connect to to my 5. 1 home cinema when I watch movies. No complaints so far – and really a pleasure to watch TV on knowing I got a real bargain!

Toshiba Regza
Not happy with the picture – despite Toshiba’s claims about activision, the picture is blocky, full of artifacts and there is heaps of motion blur.

Great viewing experience
Had a little trouble setting up with Wii + BT Vision +DVD player but Toshiba helpline easily solved the problems. Excellent picture. Easy to use.
Having bought a 22inch broken Hitachi from Argos my heart sank when I saw this 32inch beast going for only £100 more, so i returned the 22 and bought this. As far as cheap LCDs go this one is unbelievable for the price: Picture: Whilst it does not run 1080p i have my xbox running games at 1080i and it looks brilliant. The colours are great. When it comes to fast moving objects, most cheap LCDs suffer greatly from motion blur as they dont have any form of internal processor (i think thats why anyway) but this one does (called Active Vision). So when playing pro evo or watching any form of sport on this screen it looks much better than it did on the Hitachi. There is a bit of motion blur but for such a cheap lcd tv its more than acceptable. As far as Dynamic Contrast goes, the tv changes backlight intensity depending on what is on screen, which makes the dark images look really good and the brighter images looking stunning (so batman combined with explosions in batman begins looks perfect) and the change is subtle; the only time I am made aware of it is when i am going into digital tv menus. The internal digital box is definitely of high quality, I’ve got 2 cheap digital boxes and they dont pick up half the channels this one does. The only irritating thing is that you cannot check what is on other channels without it actually changing to that channel. Picture options are vast and you can change everything – from contrast to hue – so for perfectionists i think theyll be able to achieve the picture they desire. Sound: The sound is brilliant, changing from normal to surround sound makes a noticeable difference and bass boost is awesome for xbox fpss. Unfortunately, if you are in a very quiet room and the volume is on very low there is a small amount of feedback/white noise. I know all speakers have some element of feedback and I am probably being slightly hyper-sensitive but it is noticeable in the night if you’re around 2m away and have good hearing. I have an amp and 2 speakers so I have wired it through them and am no longer suffering from this problem. At normal volumes this sound is impossible to hear. Design: Amazingly beautiful tv – i really like the way the toshiba symbol lights up when u turn the tv on – making it seem like a much more expensive tv than it actually is! Other than that, all the connections (other than one HD, RGB and headphones) are in the back so you wont get any unsightly wires protruding from the side of the screen. And i’m sure this is the case with most flatscreen HDs these days but the small frame and flat screen actually make the tv look bigger than my previous 32 inch non-hd sony. Remote design is basic – buttons are solid and are actually satisfying to press
All in all a brilliant tv with only a few gripes. But for the price I couldnt ask for any more – i would have bought a 32 inch with no processor and not dynamic contrast for the same price – so a perfect buy, especially if your a game nut like me.

Really bright high quality picture, easy to set up and stylish to look at (although it is a dust magnet!) Good range of freeview channels.

If you have an Xbox360 don’t bother with full HD – get this one
I have a 37″ LG full HD which is used mainly for Xbox360 games and cost me over £600. This Toshiba is unbeatable for the money, and I cannot tell the difference in image quality…

Excellent TV at a great price
Bought this TV after considering a few 32″ ones and glad that I did. Took approx 5 minutes to attach the base, switched it on and it tuned its-self in approx 10 minutes.

Great product
This is a very good TV at a reasonable price, it was easy to set up and has a lovely clear picture. The only fault I can find is that the channel no’s come up in a large black box…

Toshiba Regza
The Regza worked straight from the box much to my wife’s scepticism. The set was simple to set up and the colours and contrast are excellent.
