Amazon's price was the best I've seen for this model. Received this TV on November 6. Eagle delivered earlier than the stated time (great!) with no problems. Setup: You have to rest the TV on its face on a soft surface to add the stand which you must assemble (easy). You should have an extra set of hands to lift the TV (not heavy but the set is wide). There is a slight delay after you click the power button. So you have to remember to wait a few seconds before it powers on. The picture right out of the box is excellent. Haven't needed to make any adjustments. The audio quality is adequate, but at this stage of the game, you are probably going to add your own speaker setup (easy). The connections for HD (color coded), DVD and cable, etc. are pretty clear. Most are located at the back of the set. The menus are relatively easy to navigate. I am more than satified with this product.

This was a great TV for 1 year and 2 months (convienient for Toshiba that my warranty expired), but then one day I tried to turn it on and got sound but no picture. I took it to a repairman to hear that I was out of luck and that he has had a lot of the same problems with Toshiba (the panels going out). So if you want a TV for long enough for your warranty to expire then this is the TV for you. By the way customer service sucks and all they recommened was that I unplug the TV for 3 minutes and try it again...Don't buy this TV or any other Toshiba you will waste your money!

My wife and I shopped around, and we kept coming back to the Toshiba 32HL67U. I'm extremely glad we chose it.

We were about to buy this TV at a department store, but they sold out minutes before we got there. So we waited, and found it cheaper online the next day - the total with shipping was $738, and many places list this LCD TV for $1,000.

It took only four days to arrive - just in time for poker night. My buddies were wowed by how great the Packers-Jaguars preseason game looked on the HD Fox channel. One helmet-jarring hit drew oohs and aahs from them, and had me beaming.

Now for the nitty gritty: This TV is probably the best budget LCD HDTV on the market right now. We did a lot of research and read a million reviews, and almost everything told us this is a great TV for the price - and it is.

The picture on HD channels is phenomenally clear and detailed. It's like you're on the field in football games, and even a simple gameshow like Jeopardy had me staring with my mouth open because it looked so sharp on the HD channel.

The key was that I got an HDMI cord free from my cable TV provider. It's the highest quality connection (both video and audio go through it), and I saved a bundle thanks to the department store clerk who told me about this free hook-up - all you have to do is ask the cable company for it.

Another trick we used was to purchase the TV with a credit card that automatically doubles the manufacturer's one-year warranty. That saved us about $150 in extended warranty fees. Of course, we plan to pay it off before the interest comes due.

DVD movies and video games look great on the 32HL67U, too. Just make sure you get the five-prong component cables to take advantage of what the TV can do.

Another big bonus is the TV has three HDMI ports, two sets of component ports and three sets of regular three-prong A/V ports (two on the back, one on the side). You can even use it as a giant monitor for your computer.

The setup menus are slick and easy to use. It took a long time and a lot of tweaking to get the settings to my liking, but it wasn't difficult. Even a non-techno-savvy person could do it.

An excellent feature is Stable Sound, which prevents commercials from blaring louder than the program you were just watching. It keeps sound at the same level. This is off by default, so make sure to turn it on.

The TV's few drawbacks are that the non-HD channels don't look very good, and there's no picture-in-picture. But I won't quibble over such minor things. This is, after all, a budget LCD HDTV. And we couldn't be happier with it.

The design is beautiful. It is very sleek and modern. Very good LCD picture for televison use. I have not tried to see what the picture looks like with the HD hook up but I can amagine that it will look awesome. Playing video games is the primary use for the LCD. The XBOX 360 Elite looks AWESOME with the HDMI hook up. Colors and picture amazing to watch. The great thing about this Toshiba is that it has more than one HDMI input which means you can plug in a dvd player, HD cable or satellite box and for fun a XBOX 360 or PS3 if you have one. Basically whatever you have that has HDMI outputs will look and sound great with this model. It also has all the other input devices like componet, composite, S-Video and digital audio inputs. It very easy to use and setup. The remote control has all the usual buttons to navigate around. By far a great value in the line up of 32" LCD's in the market.

Compared various 32" LCD HDTVs at Best Buy, Circuit City, and Walmart - this Toshiba model stood out over others (seriously considered Sonys and Samsungs). Received a great price thru amazon, fast ship, and a great product. Better than expected in terms of standard resolution and capabilities.
