4.0 out of 5 stars Just like being there! March 19, 2011

By Fred Waltz

Very nice TV. Great picture quality, and even better sound. I usually don't expect much from built in speakers, but I have to say the ones on the RCA are impressive. I mounted the TV to the wall, and connected my HD box, and have no complaints. Sports, particularly hockey look and sound great! I would definitely recommend this TV to anyone looking for good value at an affordable price.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to beat for the price July 27, 2011

I purchased this television to replace an ailing Samsung plasma that I'd had for about 10 years. The picture is bright and crisp, as expected from an LCD, but of course the blacks are not as deep as my old plasma TV. Still, the picture quality is solid, and it's about 10 pounds lighter than my previous 42 inch. I like the positioning of the inputs: you don't have to crush your cables when wall-mounting the TV anymore (which is what eventually killed my old Samsung).

The speakers are mediocre. They're a bit tinny, and when the EQ is set to amplify the lower frequencies the low end sounds very hollow. When using the audio outs, though, and running it through home theater speakers, it sounds great. My old Samsung had a little delay when using the audio outs that I'd attributed to my 20 year old receiver, and it turns out that it was the Samsung's fault. I'm very pleased with the RCA now that it's integrated into my home theater system, and use the TV speakers as a center speaker in the home theater setup.

Hard to beat this TV for the price.

UPDATE: ...And after 9 days of use, 1/2 of the LCD panel died. Amazon would have accepted the return, but I tossed the original packaging. Crap. Called RCA and they're sending a tech to my house to fix it in a couple of days. I'm disappointed, but I'll post how the repair service goes.

UPDATE ON WARRANTY SERVICE: Since I'm an idiot, I just assumed Amazon wouldn't send out a replacement TV without me sending the return first. Of course they'll send a replacement out as long as you return the other TV within 30 days, so I'm using the packaging from that TV to send back the defective one. Tech support guy did come out (provided by A&E Factory Service for RCA) and determined it was either a power supply problem or a defective panel. Ordering new parts would take a week, so I'm returning the TV to Amazon instead. Interesting thing that the Tech pointed out to me: the panel and the power supply were manufactured by Samsung. TV set was assembled in China, of course.

Dropped my rating by a star because of this quality issue, but I have to say I'm pleased with Amazon's service and at least the promptness of the warranty service.

UPDATE ON LONGEVITY: I've had the replacement for over a year and a half now, and it's worked splendidly. So a little hassle at first, but not a single problem since.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good for the price June 7, 2011

I've had this TV for a week now in my living room and have been impressed. I have a 46" Sharp LCD that I can compare this to (which cost a lot more), and this RCA stands up pretty well next to it. Picture quality is really good, sound is clear, menus are easy to use, remote is quite nice, and I've yet to find any problems. I was able to setup my Tivo remote to control this TV without any issue.

Not to get off topic, but I'd previously purchased a TCL 40" from Amazon and sent it back due to the horrible sound, no universal remote seeming to work with it, and annoyance with the on screen menu. This RCA has none of the problems the TCL had. That could be why I'm extra happy with this TV. Granted, it's only been a week... but I wanted to set some minds at ease that are considering this TV.
