It may lack the latest web, 3D and HD Freeview goodies, but a new sleek 32HL833B Toshiba will have more than enough technology for many people.

Edge LED backlighting and a full HD resolution, for example, are considered high-end features only a few years ago, and to see them on screen the sub-£ 500 is quite something.

Looks-wise, 32HL833B is just OK. Rather thin plastic chassis looks relatively attractive from a distance; heavy rounded corners – trimmed with a thin silver strip – on the undercarriage of the help set out to create a softer look is somewhat spoiled by the upper corner is much harder.

32HL833B is part of the entry-level Toshiba HL Series, which also includes 42-inch 42HL833B. Bookending Series HL Series is both DL and EL Series.

DL Series consists of 32-inch 32DL833, 26-inch 26DL833, 22-inch and 19-inch 22DL833 19DL833. All have a built-in DVD player (Toshiba’s one of specialization, by chance, which this year extends to the built-in Blu-ray in its DB Series), edge LED-backlit panel HD ready, Active Vision Freeview and 50Hz.

EL series, meanwhile, also includes a 32-incher, 32EL833, which put the Freeview tuner is organized under the hood of the HD LED-backlit screen is ready. EL series is completed by, 26-inch 22-inch 26EL833 22EL833 and 19-inch 19EL833.

One thing is certain, though: if Toshiba, the king’s entry-level TV, has switched to LED backlighting the whole range, then the old CCFL-lit LCD TV is officially dead. We just have to look at low prices 32HL833B to ensure it.

Feature

32HL833B is not exactly packed with features, but it’s not a bad thing, because a large chunk of the consumer only after a cheap TV with good pictures.

The first characteristic is firmly in the bag for 32HL833B, and we will judge the standard picture later, but there is enough about the 32-incher to convince us that it’s worthy of a place in the modern living room.

The use of LED backlighting edge is as contemporary as it gets, and full HD resolution should not be sniffing for this kind of money, either.

We will not go on and on about what this TV does not have, but it’s fair to say that manufacturers are forced to prioritize – and we know of other brands, like Sony, placing high priority on online content such as BBC iPlayer HD Freeview, which is not set although it has become – in our opinion – a feature strongly in the column should have.

Issuance would seriously hamper the success 32HL833B in the UK who have already switched to DVB-T2 broadcast, although for those with a subscription to Sky or Virgin not make any difference.

The lack of 100Hz scanning is not a problem for us on price and size. More worrying is that there is only one HDMI input on the rear panel connections, although some similarities hi-def respectfully restored to 32HL833B after glancing at his side panel. There, in addition to two HDMI inputs is a USB port, headphone jack and a slot common interface.

This panel is hidden, which means the USB sticks will not be sticking out from the side, will not curl a snake the HDMI cable to display. This is important, because many people will rely on that second HDMI and probably will be forced to buy an HDMI splitter mess.

Elsewhere in the back are component video, composite video, a single Scart, PC input for images and audio, a power (in place of the more common optical) digital audio output and a set of stereo audio inputs, plus air RF connection point.
