Summary:
I wanted to amend the review that I wrote 11 months ago about the Toshiba 32AX60. This is the cleanest and best looking picture I think I've ever seen on an analog TV. Now that I've had a chance to set the picture controls using a calibration DVD (highly recommended by the way. The $15-$20 "Sound and Vision Home-Theater Set-Up DVD" is a great, inexpensive way to calibrate your TV, and the rest of your home theater), I am still in awe of how accurately the set reproduces colors and maintains solid sharpness with virtually no video noise. The discoloration of the screen during viewing of bright images, that I mentioned before, is only slightly visible now while watching black and white movies. This really only happens when the contrast is set to high. Since this effect bothered me before (while watching color movies) I went back to Tweeter (where I bought it) and brought along my DVD player and the DVD's that were causing the problem. We tried every combination (different TVs, different DVD players) and found the discoloration was apparent all the time. Hence, I don't believe the set was causing this problem. The set has an immaculate picture and if you can find one left at a lower price, buy it without hesitation.

Strengths:
Best analog picture I've seen

Weaknesses:
Slight discoloration (still) on small portion of bottom of screen when watching black and white movies

Summary:
I first bought the JVC and I liked everything about it except the fact you couldn't adjust color temp like on the Toshiba. I've had a JVC27" for a few years that I love and It was a tough decision to go for a Toshiba instead. The Toshiba has a few more bells and whistles which as it turns out, I probably don't need. If you don't plan to hook this to a stereo and there can't be many of you out there, then this tv has no faults that I can see. I had hoped to hook this up to a Toshiba 6-head SVHS VCR W808. I bought one and the picture and sound were excelent until I tried to record my first show, and in that case it would not record the sound no matter what. Also the remotes buttons did not all work. This worries me a little bit as to whether Toshiba's quality control is as bad as some people have said. The TV says it was made in America and the VCR in China so hopefully us Americans know what we're doing. GO USA!!!

Strengths:
Great picture, sound, and multiple av inputs

Weaknesses:
lack of ability to turn tv speakers off and yet adjust volume of stereo receiver with tv remote, this simply drives me nuts!

Summary:
This is my second 32AX60 in a month. I love the picture quality of the TV during regular viewing and with DVD's. However, I've had a problem with the fact that when watching DVD's that contain scenes of bright images (i.e. bright skies)the screen will start to get dark/yellow in that area (mine was on the top right corner)if the image remains on the screen too long. The effect leaves a shadow there for quite a while until the TV is shut off and had a chance to cool down. The effect doesn't appear to be permanent (I hope!). The one I currently own doesn't do it too bad (only on one movie or two) but the one I returned did it very quickly and it looked terrible. I called the place I bought it and they sent out a service technician. He told me the tube was warped, so I had the TV replaced. The new one unfortunately does the same thing on a different area of the screen but not nearly to the degree it did it before. To be fair, this pretty much only happens if I'm watching a DVD with the contrast set pretty high and on the "cool" or "medium" temperature setting (which is rare), but I don't think it should be doing it at all. I can't comment too much about the sound (I use my main speakers through my receiver) but I do find it funny that you have to turn the volume up to about 18 before you really hear any sound at all. The other day I listened through the speakers and was impressed with their surround sound projection.
Overall, I like the TV a lot. My main concern is picture quality (as opposed to a lot of features which it also has) so I'm still debating if the light darkening on the occasional DVD is worth my $700. I've had a good experience with JVC reliability and quality in the past. This is my first Toshiba TV. Overall, I'd recommend the set as long as this problem doesn't exist on yours

Strengths:
Beautiful picture

Weaknesses:
Discoloration of screen during viewing of bright images
