The Toshiba 32C120U 32" Class 720p LCD TV delights the senses not only with the quality of its 720p video and audio components but with the sheer number of features it provides. These include dynamic picture mode, offering enhanced color saturation and sharpness for a vivid picture right out of the box; DynaLight dynamic backlight control for deeper blacks and more detail; advanced picture settings tailored for movies and games; and an energy-saving auto brightness sensor to change brightness based on room lighting.
The built-in game mode provides technology that actually improves your gaming experience by reducing controller delay. By shortening the overall signal-to-screen time, the HDTV helps make you quicker on the trigger in your favorite games.
As a wide range of HDMI-equipped DVD/Blu-ray players, set top boxes, PCs, mobile devices and game consoles flood the market, consumers are simultaneously connecting more source devices to their DTVs via HDMI ports. With the two HDMI ports the TV provides, connecting these items will be a cinch.
Finally, the inclusion of a USB port allows you to play MP3 audio, MPEG movies and display JPEG photos through a thumb drive or hard drive.

Comments about Toshiba 32C120U 32" Class 720p LCD TV:
I bought a Sharp TV last year and I am quite happy with it. I decided to go with another brand, Toshiba this time. I find the TV to be o.k. but it's less nice than my other one. I am glad that I have the Sharp to compare the two TVs. My problem with the Toshiba is that the number of connections to it is very limited. I think I have only 5 inputs (2 HDMIs, 1 computer, 1 USB and 1 Cable). The Sharp, on the other hand, has about 9 or 10 inputs. The guy at the store explained to me that TV manufacturers were slowly diminishing the number of inputs they make available on TVs simply because they grow increasingly unnecessary but I found the option of having multipe inputs very convenient. I am not sure there is anything that can be done about that though...
Another thing I didn't like it that the TV takes a moment to turn on (you have to wait a few seconds before it comes on). Moreover, I found that the connections were very sensetive. I needed to plug in the HDMI several times and push it in really hard because otherwise it couldn't read the signal. Once, I hadn't moved my device and the connection seemed to fail (perhaps it became loose, I don't know) and I had to do the same thing, push on the cables. Perhaps it's not a problem with the brand but my individual TV but this is something which I found bothersome.
Despite all those problems... the picture quality on the TV is very nice (probably better than the other TV I have). I am also pleased with the volume on the TV which is often and issue with these TVs.
Overall, if you can put up with the other problems, like not being able to hook up a DVD which does not have an HDMI input, then you will like this TV since the other things people look for (picture quality, audio quality) are fairly good on this TV.
