The technology incorporated in this type of televisions incessantly develops and also progresses in all areas of the TV performance.
Design:
Toshiba 32″ Regza AV61 LCD Television come with a shiny black finish and with sleek and slender speakers. The new model’s edge has a typical design in bringing an angled wedge effect on which a small Toshiba logo is blazoned across the bottom half. The logo does not shine as it does on the AV635 and other models, but still it is the most attractive set in the 32- inch LCD Television models out in the market.
HDMI Connections:
The 32AV615DB’s connections are performing better than anyone had ever expected. The device consists of three HDMIs in which one is on side and the other two are located on rear. The user is permitted to double the screen like a computer monitor with its D-SUB PC Port. But only the Service updates were supported by USB ports. As the auto tuning feature is manual, it has to be tuned in later on; it will not be turned on when the television is switched on. This is one of the drawbacks faced by 32AV615DB High definition television. And an analysis proved that this might be one of the reasons why users do not like the sleek and elegant look of the device though it is popularised as the art piece of Toshiba.
Digital Tuner:

This technology will be automatically available to you by acclivity to a Toshiba.
Menu System is Simple To Use and holds a New look:
After taking it out of the box you will find that this Toshiba carries a smart look and its menu system bears a new look which is very smart, easy and simple to navigate. Though the dull remote control is putting it down, it is solid and its clear sound is more occupying and delighting.
Features:
An Array of Features Included:
In orderly arranged small onscreen menus, there are many features listed. Some useful image presets are also available which also includes cinema mode. An optional digital noise reduction processing is also added. All the aforementioned features combined with the multi level colour transient improvement (CTI) and a committed flesh tone adjustment is rendering splendid audio surroundings and one of the pleasant experiences to the user. Another attractive feature of Toshiba Regza 32AV615DB LCD HDTV is Adaptive Luma Control and the option to switch the TV’s backlight on or off. These features are also making the television set beguiling to the purchasers.
Active Vision:
The processing of picture performance in Toshiba TVs has been genuinely enhanced by the Active Vision. It was actually developed to produce high quality, as well as high definition as possible in the region of picture clarity. This was fulfilled by amending the core elements in the picture. The detail quality is much finer and is of much ameliorated definition, as it has more number of pixels of smaller size spread out evenly on the screen. The Toshiba TV colour surmounts the older more conventional LCDs because of its usage of more number of tones. A natural and smooth advancement in colour is provided as the TV images operate with reduced banding. The acuteness of the picture is maintained at all times, and also it obviates the jagged edges that are shown periodically in shots with fine detail.
Toshiba’s Dynamic Contrast Ratio:
The dynamic contrast ratio can be described as the measurement of the difference in light intensity between the brightest white and the darkest black. The contrast ratio and picture quality are directly proportional. The higher the contrast ratio the better is the picture quality. A proper balance between contrast and brightness must exist to provide best detail in the picture. This is attained by Toshiba’s Dynamic Contrast Ratio which carries an ability to diminish the brightness of the backlight in the scenes of dark background and increase in case of brightly lit scenes. The Regza AV61 can be said as another success amongst the other available Regza models in the market. The affordable and reasonable price of the model along with its additional technological features made it a most searched TVs now a days.
There is very little to write about the changes in styling terms or features. There are three HDMI inputs but has no 1080p support or digital media-friendly connections. The calibration is made difficult because the abundant picture options were mixed with obtrusive menus.
USB Connection:
The USB connection provided allows you to view photos and video footages directly on your television screen.
Light Sensor:
The Light Sensor Feature is incorporated for power saving which changes the picture brightness depending on the ambient light in the room. It also makes the viewing more comfortable. When the Light Sensor is turned on the power consumption can be cut down.
24 frames Technology:
In reality movies are actually filmed at 24 frames per second (fps) and are translated to 50fps to show them on television. But with 24p technology on the television supports 24fps through HDMI input and we can watch the movies as the director intended to show them.
Audio Description:
Audio Description is mainly incorporated for the visually impaired users. It facilitates by providing continuous audio commentary about the programs displayed in the television. The Audio Description feature will be available on selected Digital/Freeview programmes.
Performance of Regza 32AV615DB:
An Enjoyable and Watchable Picture:
Try playing the “Doubt” Blu-ray and you will find that the set’s black performance is extremely impressive, with the moody interiors and Sister’s habits appearing deep even are disclosing. You will also find the whites as purest as you have seen before; there is a strong punch too. The new model’s colour reproduction is not elusive enough to reproduce the pale skin tones perfectly and it also does not have the most detailed picture.
Even though certain movies are in general watch-able and enjoyable, finally they also demonstrate the same traits: compared with the very best a touch soft and unsubtle and also with small quantity of instability now and then.
Unstable Images:
Even though the picture quality in Regza 32AV615DB 32-inch LCD Television is decent all around, it retains instability when you try to put the device jacket. Though the delivery of sound has reasonable clarity, it is again put down through its intermittent buzzing from inside the device. The cheapest price at which Toshiba is offered can be given good rating, but in terms of performance and price compared with its rivals is letting down its rating.
720P Blu-ray content looks good when you load and run it. To the best sheer detail retrieval is ameliorated and the blacks in the picture are missing a little solidity, other than that the picture has a delightful, realistic colour balance, and also manages motion smoothly and is reasonably sharp. The DVD content is also very gentle for eye and whilst shifting to television tuner again it is sharp with nice colours and fine detail. Though it is not a 1080p compatible it gives some better picture performance and this model can be mentioned as a fine budget selection.
Warranty:
The Toshiba Regza 32AV615DB is provided with 1 year warranty.
Verdict:
It can be undoubtedly said that it is a great television for a great price.
