We paid a lot more (than the $299 sale price at the time of this writing) and we actually don't feel bad about it at all. The picture quality is quite nice watching regular old cable TV, and I get great color when I watch DVDs using the component input. The speakers sound adequate, especially for a smaller room (it's our bedroom television, and it's wall-mounted and very space conscious). Overall, it's a great quality unit.

Two caveats:

1) When you get your new TV, turn it on and find an image or scene that is dark. If you see bright, white edges, as if the backlight were bleeding around the edge of the picture, you should consider exchanging it as we did (it will make the picture look washed out). The floor models we looked at before making our final purchase decision had SOME amount of this "bleeding" effect, but if it's really bright (you'll know it when you see it), then you should exchange it as we did with our first unit. Otherwise, expect some amount of white light at the edges, but it should not interfere with the picture. The second unit was BEAUTIFUL!

2) The remote control unit leaves something to be desired. Get a universal or, like we do, use your TiVo remote control. Our Series 2 TiVo with built-in DVD even swaps TV inputs and runs the DVD player, so you really don't need the remote that comes with it except to access the TV's menu (picture settings, etc.).

All in all, we're very pleased with the purchase. Nice job, Sylvania!

Somehow the engineers at Sylvania managed to make an LCD television look like my grandfathers black and white TV - complete with chrome sticker, two tone finish, and bare-bones remote control. I would tolerate this and call it "retro" if the picture quality was good. Unfortunately the picture is very grainy and is much brighter at the edges. As much as I hate returning electronics, this will be going back. Last time I buy a TV without seeing the picture quality in person.

I was very surprised at how good this set looks and sounds considering the $299 price, including shipping. Saw the same set at Walmart for $100 more. My only complaint is a remote with the commonly used buttons in places that do not make sense and aren't easily gotten used to.

AFTER SHOPPING AND SHOPPING THIS IS THE BEST PRICE FOR THIS SIZE TV WITH A DECENT BRAND NAME
