kjrst9's Full Review: Toshiba 32AV502U 31.5 in. HDTV TV
I purchased this TV from PC Richard. Great picture, very user-friendly menu interface, excellent universal remote included, etc. Problem? NO AUDIO. I tried every setting and about 1 time out of every 9 (turning it on and off) did I have audio. I took it back to the store, and sure enough, they couldn't get audio either. Ok, I figured, bum tv. Got a replacement.
Took it home, audio is fine. About a week later I get around to hooking up my dvd and other components. The component ports don't work. Flashing tv with my dvd, blue/green hue with the Wii. I try other cables to ensure it's not the cable.
I take THIS one back to the store and they hook it up. Sure enough, flashing screen.
They pull out Toshiba #3 for me (by this time, I'm wary that i even want a toshiba) and plug it in to test in-store. IT FLASHES when hooked up to the component ports!
By this time, a higher level manager is there and he tries to tell me that Toshiba needs a "Strong Signal" and all I need to do is get a better cable; that in store testing is not accurate because they have so many sets pulling from the signal. I told him no, that's not the case, my cables are fine and if Toshiba is that tempermental I want something else. The workers there quickly realized that i was not going to leave the store with another toshiba, and were very accomodating, made sure I left as satisfied as possible.
They replaced it with a Sharp Aquos. I liked the interface of the toshiba much better, but at least this Sharp WORKS!!! I will NEVER again consider a Toshiba. One bum TV is bad luck, but THREE shows a serious problem with the product.
