4.0 out of 5 stars Great LCD HDTV, August 14, 2008

This review is from: Emerson 32" LCD HDTV (Electronics)

I purchased this TV from [...] refurbished. It looks like new and after changing my directv service to HD, the picture looks great. The definition is excellent. The only - thing is that there is no code for the directv remote to be able to set this TV to work with the directv remote, so you have to use both remotes. Since I use it in the room, it is ok. I read many reviews about this and apparently cable and dish tv customers have the same problem. About Emerson, I used to have a small Emerson TV a while ago and the picture was great and it lasted for ever, so I trust this brand even thought many people have not heard about it. Keep in mind that for HD LCD TVs you'll need to get HD signal to get the best picture quality. This is a great TV and I recommend it highly.

4.0 out of 5 stars I'm happy with my purchase, October 9, 2009

I wanted a new tv that was affordable. This television was the most affordable as well as the biggest I could purchase with what I had to spend.
This is not the tvs fault but you don't automatically get HD tv from your cable company just because you have an HDTV. I didn't know that and wondered why I couldn't get the HD channels. Duh. The HD will cost a little more. I don't have the HDTV cable and I just get regular digital tv from the tv. Which, to me, is fine. Some people may feel differently and if it makes that much of a difference to you than you'll probably also want a more expensive television with crystal clear picture quality-which this one doesn't.
But for the price-I can handle the downgrade in picture quality.

I'm happy with the video quality. It's not spectacular but it's definitely watchable without being annoying or even an issue in any way shape or form. I enjoy my shows without ever even having to think about it. I just enjoy the big screen.
The television has different screen modes to choose from. The cinemax or movie mode one can be a tiny bit fuzzy and the whole picture doesn't fit into the screen but I dont think that's the tvs fault. I think that's just how the cinemax/movie mode is.
The other modes are fine.
Like I said-if you've got to have stellar picture quality than go spend a thousand and more on another tv the same size as this.
As far as the sound goes, I wish it were just a little better quality. No biggie. It's nothing that annoys me. It gets pretty loud and I can hear it most of the time with no problem. But it does have CC if, like me, movies are a pain to hear because the actors have a habit of talking /whispering way too low with their dialog. The furniture they sit on make more coherent sound than they do. It's really frustrating.
I think if it had better sound quality, I could hear them better than their footsteps and furniture but I could be wrong about that.

The tv was easy to set up. REally very simple.
I would recommend this. I know it's been refurbished but I am very happy with my purchase.
Save yourself some money if you're not going to nit pick about crystal clear picture quality.

UPDATE: Just wanted to add. My brother spent thousands of dollars on his big screen tv. My sister, who lives with him, came to my house watched my tv and said out of the blue, I like this tv better than the one at home. I told her how cheap I got it for. She said she liked it better. Go figure.

This review is from: Emerson 32" LCD HDTV (Electronics)

We bought this TV just before Christmas and just love it. It has a great picture and works well with our cable tv connection. We had difficulty at first setting it up because it wants to set the channels itself, so be sure and set it to manual before you begin. We called Emerson for help and they were very genial and helpful. As the other rater said, it does not sinc with my cable remote, but that seems the only drawback to us.
