review

An ideal HDTV, regardless of price, provides a set of A/V connections that accommodates the current and future needs of its owner. And, of course, a decent HDTV also delivers well-contrasted imagery with colors that appear naturally saturated and accurate. The AOC Envision L32W461, a 32-inch LCD HDTV, comes close to this ideal and grabbed my attention with its bright picture, realistic color, and easy setup. After spending some quality eyeball time with the L32W461, though, I did have a few criticisms, such as the set's lone HDMI input and how it overly darkened the darkest picture details—neither of which is easy to deal with.

Bottom Line

The L32W461 offers decent color quality for a value-priced HDTV, but the darkest details in its picture are too dark, which muddies the overall image.

Pros

Effective video-noise reduction. Fast film-mode detection. Relatively inexpensive.

Cons

Dark details are too dark. Single HDMI input.
