2008 saw an almost complete swap from the older CRT technology to the newer, sharper LCD technology. All of the new TVs are HD capable LCD or plasma screen televisions. One of these LCD televisions is the Toshiba Regza 32RV635DB.
The 32RV635DB is a 3 pin British version of the 32RV635. It is in all other respects identical and all references to the DB version will also pertain to the other.
The Toshiba 32RV635DB is a 32 inch HDTV with an optimum viewing distances of 8 to 10 feet. The television has a cabinet design that helps it fit in to your living room a little better than most models of High Definition TV do. You'll see sharp crisp pictures pretty much anywhere in the room if you're watching a standard or HD programme.
Tests show that the 32RV635DB is better than average for standard definition or high definition television viewing, but may not be suitable for some higher end gaming applications.
All of the Toshiba RV televisions come with a planet friendly perk. You can actually reach to the back of the TV and throw a switch that will help you be a better environmentally conscious citizen. The switch in question allows you to cut back the typical 3 watt an hour power usage while not in use to under 1 watt per hour when in standby. Why would anyone not throw the switch? You'll be helping the planet by reducing your carbon footprint with the 32RV635DB.
This Toshiba model gives you new GUI on all of the menu screens. This means that the Graphic User Interface on the 32RV635DB is bright and vivid, easy for you to read the menus and that's a nice change. Many other models will have you squinting and standing right in front of the television just to be able to read the menus and change any settings that you desire.
The remote makes changes to the 32RV635DB simple, including the aspect ratio options, which may need to be changed depending on the programme you're watching.
Now for the downside to this well priced TV. The 32RV635DB did show some colour smears during testing. There were also override errors that came up. What this boils down to is a TV that is great for those who are passive television watchers but not so much for those high end gamers.
The 32RV635DB has incredible viewing from nearly any angle. From the extreme sides viewing can lead to a bit of distortion but that can be said of most HDTV's. There is a sharpness that is incomparable with a 1 to 1 pixel mapping that's standard on the 32RV635DB.
Keep in mind, the 32RV635DB is not one of the higher end HD models available. However, it has shown serious promise for those who are looking for a low priced high definition television to use for viewing purposes for your family. This TV did better than anything else in this price range and the aspect ratio is key.
You will have to mess with the settings a bit to achieve the perfect colour and image quality, but it is possible to achieve. You'll be thrilled with the crispness of the images that the Toshiba Regza 32RV635DB produces.
