We don't have 32RV600 already, but Carlo777 has one. Hopefully, Carlo will get a 32AV700 and compare it with his RV.

We hooked up 32AV700 with PS3 and played some games. The picture was pretty good with no motion blur.

We invite you to come to our shop and audition this TV for yourself. Try to demo and compare this TV with other TVs on display. Feel free to post your impressions here about the 32AV700.

i think mas ok 32RV600 compare to 32AV600.

Full HD na kasi yung RV and correct me if im wrong RV is a higher model than AV.

rgpanes · « **Reply #16 on:** Aug 23, 2010 at 09:40 PM »

im torn between 32AV700 & 32EX300. Pareho kasi sila may feature na signal booster w/c is importante para sa akin kasi i'll be using this mostly on TV viewing using analog signal. Advantage ng 32EX300 is my PiP feature siya & mas malakas speaker niya w/c is 10W x 2 as compated w/ 5W x 2 ng 32AV700. May promo din kasi ang
Sony na bundled w/ Sony home theater yung LCD add lang ng 4k. I need your input on this guys. Sana may mga feedbacks pa from users of both units.

when we say signal booster, para ba ito duon sa mga nasa fringe areas at mahina ang tv signal?

o kahit nasa malakas na signal area ka, considered pa din na maganda yung may built-in signal booster?

Irregardless of the cable signal--be it weak or strong, the 32AV700 boosts the TV signal reception that sends quality picture for your viewing pleasure.

Hello,

Full HD means that the display has 1080 lines and it can show a 1080 image at its native resolution. HD Ready means that the screen is a 720 line display, or higher, but not reaching to the level of 1080. At 720 line, the TV is recognized as HD TV.

Maganda ba viewing angle nito low part and left and right angles?

Planning to get one this November sa Sight and Sound and papa-wall mount ko (medyo mataas). I am just worried about the viewing angle when your from the floor area angle.

I'm torn among the following: a RV600, RV700, AV/CV700 or Sony EX400 that will be used for PS3 and movie watching. Can you give comments. My thinking is AV/CV700 gives value for money but only HD Ready while RV600/700 and Sony EX400 are full HD. The Sony was really very good when paired with the PS3 but the Tosh offers a signal booster and might be better for cable viewing (although I rarely watch cable). The RV600 measure up with the Sony when I viewed them side-by-side. Anybody has comments on these choices?

Carlo777 · « **Reply #24 on:** Oct 10, 2010 at 01:31 PM »

Signal booster, is not something you'd really need since you hardly watch cable. For the PS3, the RV600 looks good but it blurs a bit during FPS games. If the PS3 is your main purpose then I'd go for the Sony.

Sir Vic, is this also the case for 40CV700?

sound lang medyo bitin when watching movies but kung regular cable channels lang naman ok na sya.

Just bought one today (32AV700) at Western Mktg appliance center for php20k. Needed a unit with a very good cable auto signal booster. To be used mostly for cable TV viewing. Since this is a multisystem unit, auto channeling is very tricky. Need to manually select the TV system afterwards for each detected channels. Have to set them to "M" for NTSC 3.58. Have to set to 'skip' also for several wrongly detected noisy channels. Have to make sure to turn on the autobooster for each channel also.

By the way, does the 32AV700 and 32CV700 have the same picture quality specs? As the CV model have a rotating base and PIP, which the AV doesn't have. There is a price difference of about php3k between the two.

Couldn't go to SNS to get them at a cheaper price. Didn't know that they are selling 32CV700 for just php20k. Actually, just assisted a friend to buy this unit (32AV700).

thor · « **Reply #29 on:** Oct 21, 2010 at 04:17 PM »

I have bought the 32cv700 last tues., coz the wifey likes the tempered glass stand, swivel base and pip.

I think the specs are the same w/ 32AV700. I did not have to manually select the sys and turn signal-booster for every channel. I just turned the booster on and sys to auto, then auto-tuned for channels. "skip" is set individually.

The unit I got did not have the plastic covering the tv frame. Does the AV700 have them? Madami kasi alikabok pumapasok sa bahay... Now I know why my sis didn't remove them on her panasonic. I used to make fun of them...Now I know.
