  the Toshiba model you reffer to is the Rear Projection TV and the Sony V Bravia 32" is LCD, is this right to you?
  
  I can't comment on the Toshiba model as I haven't seen it in action yet, I can say that the Sony 32 V Bravia is very good, even more so on the demos I've seen with it outputting an HD TV signal in a local Sony Centre.
  
  I'd say what most people would say, try and look in a number of different retailers that stock both and play around with them to gauge the quality of the image they output, obviously try them using the internal freeview tuner for real world results.
  
  Clearly there is a big price difference, an alternative could be the 32" S range Bravia which a slight step down from the V range, very similar TV but slight differences in the chips that process and output the sound and a different casing. but it does save you around £300, Bravia S 32" is around £1,100 online. the V is around £1,400

  the toshiba i was referring to is a LCD, maybe i put the wrong reference.
  
  I liked the toshiba as it has many connections (3 scart, 2 hdmi) but obviously thought that the SONY may be a better bet....
  
  Thanks for the info though, v helpful

  In my opinion I'd stick to the Toshiba, there's been a few posts regarding the Bravia range and I wasn't impressed with the quality of any of the Bravia range on SD. I've seen one Hitachi can't remember which model it was, the local stores sell 32LD7200, 42PD6600A and 42PD7200A but I know the picture quality looked beter, but they were either too large and expensive for what I was looking for.

  We got one (the Toshiba) just before Christmas, and its fantastic on both RGB sky and HDMI from an upscaling DVD player.
  
  Only problem was that the stand took hours to put together as the screws didn't fit properly.

  Apparently that is a very common problem with the Toshiba stands!
