Topic: Toshiba 32" LCD 32AV700 HDTV Review

[william_pdvd08]

Pumunta ako last Sunday sa Western Trinoma and found out that their Toshiba RV600 costs about P26K. Tanong ko lang po kung mura na ba yun? Nalaman ko din po na lumang model na daw yun kasi meron na daw RV700. Is it true? Magkano naman po yung ganun? Salamat for future replys.

[Ppoooh]

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.

No plastic covering on 32AV700 as well. I got rumbled system on auto mode. Some detected as I, and B/G, only a few on M. That's why I have to changed them manually to M instead for NTSC.

Got mine(32CV700) at SNS at 20k. Lowest price for that model at that time ('gang ngayon siguro ).
1 Satisfied owner, PQ is great compared to its counterpart, 32" hd-ready, IMHO.

[vinsanidad]

@thor:  Si natry mu na ikabit yung TV sa ordinary/baron aerial antenna?  Maganda din ba yung PQ quality?  I'm planning to buy this unit also or RV700/LD460.  Thanks!   

[bananabond]

okay ba to for ps3?

[CeeV]

 :)Latest price is 18K na lang ....in Anson's Cash and Carry.

[praktikal]

how about th cv700 sir? 

[dopogi8]

mga sir, planning to get this one also, recommended ba siya for PC use? onbard graphics gamit ko via HDMI. paki sagot po, thanks

i bought a Toshiba AV700 last Saturday at SnS. (18K) So far the unit is really performing well. The auto tuner is a bit hard to figure out since it is checking also channels that are available on free air-TV and you have to manually tune channels to M for NTSC. but other than that, everything is alright. I use it for my PS3 and when on Game mode...the PQ is great. no blurs even for FPS games.

great unit for entry level HD users...like me!!! and 4 HDMI ports...beat that. btw, it can be set up as a PC monitor just be sure to have a HDMI port on your PC to really get the best view.

You need a good motion response TV for gaming. You may wish to consider 32LD460 that has lowest motion response.

That's good for Anson, but you may want to support Sights and Sounds. We work hard to enlighten you on which TV to buy. We also work hard to lower the price first before other follow.

And if the above still not convincing, perhaps the following perks will help:

just got my new av700 from SnS and hooked it up to my pc(old Pentium 4 model)
luckily i was able to buy a dvi-hdmi adapter at cdrking and another adapter that angles your hdmi 90degrees.
looks great, having trouble with dual view because of the crt, so just made the tosh my main monitor
played a couple of movies and latest "the walking dead" great quality
tomorrow ill be on the roof setting up an aerial antenna, hope tuning the channels wont cause me any problems.

HI Vic,
Pede rin ba ako mag request/claim nito...after buying the 40CV700?

FREE 1 unit DVD Christmas In Vienna Concert and 1 unit CD of the same title

[william_pdvd08]

Anyone of you guys heard about the RV700? Very tempting talaga ang uniy na ito over my previous choices the LG LD460 and the Samsung C530. Ano sa tingin nyo guys? Do this unit deserve a spotlight too? My purchase will be by mid-December, hinihintay ko lang price from SnS because I will definitely buy from them.

[chris_santo]

ano difference ng av700 sa cv700?

[william_pdvd08]

ano difference ng av700 sa cv700?

It's only difference is that the CV700 has swivel pedestal and PIP while the AV700 has only fixed stand and no PIP.

[chris_santo]

@william

thanks sa input. i guess kapag hindi ako nakabili ng plasma, either cv or av nalang bilin ko. ano pala difference ng rv model?

RV700 series is a new model from Toshiba, Full HD sya compared sa CV700 at AV700 na HD ready lang.

[chris_santo]

naku pasok na sana ito kasi maganda ang display nya sa analog cable kaso mabagal naman ang response time sa gaming. mukhang plasma na nga bagsak ko.

Just a correction. Being only HD-ready is only true for the 32" av and cv. The 40cv700 is full HD. Not sure about the bigger av's though.

I am also into gaming using xbox 360 and is using a 40cv700. didn't see any noticeable lag in response time, especially for fps.

Sorry po! bombie is right.

32RV700 - Full HD
32CV700 - HD Ready
40CV700 - Full HD
32AV700 - HD Ready
40CV700 - Full HD

Thanks for the correction.

Baka kaya hindi masyado noticeable kasi fullhd sya unlike the 32" variant.

Well kanya kanya yang preference. Halimbawa, while plasmas can give deeper blacks, i won't go for it because of its excessive power consumption and potential for image burning. Pero I guess each of us can choose his / her own poison

[knewb]

is this still the best buy at its price range?

[franzb69]

interested in this unit. anyone else here with comments about said model? may stock pa ba SnS nito?

thanks

[jepoi]

may available na bang 32RV700 anywhere?

how much kaya 'to?
