I believe I have the 32A40. The tube should be the same across all A series. I had no intention of even considering a Toshiba, but after comparing the picture quality with eight other 32" televisions at the store (all side-by-side), the Toshiba won without tweaking the settings...the others couldn't win *after* tweaking the settings. Plus, it was one of the least expensive. And unlike the much-more expensive Sony, the Toshiba had S-Video (both of my disc players and ES receiver are all S-Video).
A friend of mine also bought a Toshiba 32", but he didn't know it was a Toshiba...he just looked at all the TV's, said "that one has the best picture" and wrote a check.
Great TV, really good price. Haven't had a single ounce of buyer's remorse.
