5.0 out of 5 stars Great LCD TV at a fraction of the price, March 25, 2010

This review is from: Proscan 55LC55S240V87 55-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics)

I've been in the market for a 55" LCD for over a year. I needed to replace a 55" rear projection TV that was great for it's time, but doesn't have the picture quality of a good LCD. I didn't want to spend a fortune and I've been watching as large LCD's have come down in price.

I purchased this at Costco and I thought the price was a typo. The picture quality of this TV is first rate, and the sound while not great, is better than most. It's fine for regular viewing, but I certainly use my sound system for movies. 1080i from Dish is spectacular, and 1080p from Xbox is unbelievable. 240Hz makes a big difference in the motion blur of fast scenes - there is virtually none. I'm finally going to pull the trigger on Blue-ray now because this thing is so good.

I love it, my wife loves it, and everyone that sees it is amazed. In my mind it is by far the best value on a top-shelf LCD.

1.0 out of 5 stars PROSCAN WILL NOT HONOR WARRANTY, December 24, 2010

This review is from: Proscan 47LC55S240V87 47-Inch 1080p 240Hz LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics)

picture quality is good. picture scaling options are lacking (your typical vertical black bars on 4:3 sources are the norm, unless the source (DVR, etc.) can scale to fit).
STOPPED OPERATING WITHOUT REASON OR WARNING WITHIN 6.5 MONTHS.
UPDATE:
"Fixed" (almost) under warranty by Sears. But, problems with long turn on time began. Then, picture began displaying strange rainbow effect which cannot be turned off. Submitted request for repair to Proscan under warranty (happened within a year of purchase) and Proscan will not respond.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great for 34 Days, Then Went Wonky, September 29, 2010

This TV was purchased for a fantastically low price (under $1000), but as my lab assistant always says: "You get what you pay for!" 4 days after the 30 day return period ended, the TV went psychedelic: weird negative colors and completely unwatchable. [...]. Then things got really bad. A long saga of calling the manufacturer and Amazon multiple times (I'll spare you the details) and we finally got our money back 3 months later. Next time we'll purchase a Sony, Toshiba, LG or Samsung.
