Loading ...All of the models in the Toshiba Regza line are sleek in design and full of state of the art features, and the 32HL67U is no exception. This unit has a 32 inch high def LCD screen and features what Toshiba calls PixelPure technology. PixelPure is 14 bit digital video processing that creates over 4000 different levels in color gradations, producing a picture that is both natural and smooth without any image banding or posterization. Further, this set provides an excellent, fast response time of 8 ms. Response time refers to how long it takes an LCD screen to go from its darkest color to its lightest color and back again. It is measured in milliseconds, so a response time of 8 ms is quite quick. This makes it much less likely to display artifacts or be choppy than other screens on other TVs in the same class, as it’s on the higher end of the spectrum. This combined with the 32HL67’s panel resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels gives you crisp and clear display. That resolution qualifies it as a 720 progressive line high def TV, which is more sophisticated than the picture quality of standard definition television sets, though not quite as good as the top of the line 1080 high def TV sets available. It also displays in an aspect ratio of 16:9, so you can view widescreen movies without dealing with the annoying black bars at the top and bottom of your screen.
This TV’s design makes it look great wherever you decide to put it. Its sleep black gloss housing makes it easily incorporated into most décor. But it doesn’t just look good – it also saves space and energy. The 32HL67 is only 4.65 inches deep, so it takes up much less floor space than a CRT (cathode ray tube) television. And weighing in at only 35 pounds, this TV is easy to move around when you’re cleaning. All LCD screen televisions use less power than plasma or CRT style televisions, so your electric bill will be lower, too. It comes with a stand, and based upon the width of the screen, the ideal viewing distance is seven to twelve feet. This means that you’ll enjoy the best picture quality and viewing experience if you are sitting between seven and twelve feet away from the set, without being distracted by scan lines or losing detail, so be sure to take that into account if you plan to buy this model.
Further features that make this Toshiba a great investment are its built-in digital TV tuner capable of receiving the ATSC signals and QAM signals that most digital cable providers broadcast with. It also has a 181 channel NTSC tuner that can accept traditional analog TV signals, three HDMI inputs, two ColorStream HD component video inputs, one VGA 15 pin d-sub PC monitor input, one s-video input and two A/V inputs. The unit comes with a SoundStrip speaker system that hides the actual speakers in a thin strip surrounding the screen, which are powerful enough to give great sound without making the unit any larger.
All told, Toshiba has done it again with a great high definition LCD television packed full of useful features and technology, for a good price. The Toshiba REGZA 32HL67U 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV is an excellent investment that will provide you with great viewing experiences for many years to come.
