5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible quality for the price, June 18, 2007

The picture quality is equal to or better than much pricier models. The built in DVD player, which plays Divx as well as every kind of disc, (except SACD and DVD-A) makes for a sleek, wall-mountable unit.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nice combo unit, but it didn't last, January 27, 2008

This review is from: Magnavox 32MD357B 32-Inch LCD HDTV with Built In DVD Player (Electronics)

I purchased this unit early August, 2007 for the features of a combination TV and DVD player in one unit. The DVD player lasted less than 4 months, but of course just slightly longer than the 90-day labor warranty. TV portion still worked but DVD's would eject themselves without playing between 1 and 3 seconds after loading them. Magnavox's support website had no FAQ addressing this. On the positive side, the support service was available toll-free on a Sunday afternoon, I did get to a live easily-understood support rep, and he was trying his best to be helpful. Unfortunately, all he could do was give me the address of my nearest repair facility and let me know I'd have to pay for labor. I returned the unit to the store at which I purchased it for a full refund.

4.0 out of 5 stars Near Perfect!, August 19, 2008

I purchased this TV from the local Sam's Club and I was amazed on how good the resolution on this TV is. For some reason Magnavox misrepresented the quality of the resolution of this TV. It appears to be much sharper than it advertises. I compared this model side by side with the lower cost 32 inch LCD maganavox TV minus the DVD player and the picture quality was much better on this model even though according to the packaging the picture quality was supposed to be the same. Using identical video feeds, I found there was no fuzziness when it came to reading words on the screen, and the picture was so much better.
The only problem I have with this TV is that there is only one sound out port, and that port is the headphone jack. So if you plan to connect this TV to your existing stereo/surround sound system you need to pick up a cable to go from the headphone jack (standard like for your iPod), to RCA female. And you will want to do this because the sound on the TV is kind of sorry (Sound on the Sony model is much better- & more expensive). Keep in mind your picture will be affected by the quality of the source. For example if you're using a regular external DVD player and RCA cables you'll have more of an analog picture. If you use a HD DVD with an HDMI cable, you're going to have an amazing picture. The built in DVD player will give you a great picture too, experiment with the various import sources to see what works for you. The only drawback I have with this TV was with the sound, but when I connected it to my sound system, it sounded great.
