4.0 out of 5 stars Great Bang For The $$$, December 10, 2008

By

This review is from: Magnavox 32" 720p LCD HDTV - 32MF338B (Electronics)

I know my fair share about electronics and technology, especially TV's, and when I was doing research into which models were worth my hard-earned dollars, I have to admit that this one wasn't terribly high on my list. But to my surprise, it's turned out be a great value. The set has got really crisp picture, along with vivid colors, and no distortions whatsoever. The blacks aren't the best out there, but you can't expect the world from a $500 set I suppose. I've come across a lot of review for this exact set with sound issues, but thus far I haven't experienced any myself. It's not terribly loud, but for my purposes, it suites me just fine. I would recommend that if you were placing this TV in a fairly large room, get a sound system to accompany it, and it'll mare than make up for it's shortcomings. I also have the TV acting as my computer monitor, which works perfectly. No complicated set-up needed, and all you need is an extra 1/8'' headphone plug for sound. What not advertised as much is the 1080i playback, which was an added bonus for my PS3, and makes gaming all the more enjoyable. My only complaint actually doesn't concern the TV, but Target. I purchased what I thought was a new model, to only later find out it was old, used, and broken. I've had to jump through hoops to have it replaced because Target would not exchange it or allow me to return it. And I do have to admit, customer service for Magnavox does suck, but if you make fuss, they're sure to get your issues solved. I was told I'd get me new set in 10-15 days. It came in about a week. So a few words to the wise, open the box before you leave the store, in front of the electronics counter. This way there is no way they can claim you damaged the set. And then call the cops on you. And yes, Target called the cops on me.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy this item - or Magnavox televisions at all, for that matter, April 17, 2009

I purchased this television, rushed home to set it up and was very pleased...until the next day. The television would not come back on. Googled the model number and found literally hundreds of similar stories on the internet about Phillips/Magnavox televisions having this same problem.
The user's guide included with the set says to unplug the television for 30 minutes and then try again. Magnavox's website says to unplug the set for 60 seconds in order to reset the power supply. Other sources say unplug it for 4 hours and another said unplug and leave unplugged overnight. I've tried ALL of the recommendations and I still have a brand new, but completely dead television. I'll be taking it back and buying a different brand.
I talked to a friend in Retail and he tells me that one of the "big box" retailers dropped this product from their line because of all the returns they were getting.

I definitely wanted a Sony or Samsung but my wife bought me this set at less than $500.00. It really looked great but after only seven months of viewing, I heard a loud POP! The set is fried and has to be replaced. We bought it at Target, a place I will never buy electronics again. (GPS UNIT Didn't work). Spend the extra money and get a better TV. This is pure crap.
