Right now in the electronics industry, many of us are going to have to purchase a brand new television. Although for a lot of us, we don't know why, but if we don't we can't watch our shows. In a couple of years, we will be watching televisions shows in High Definition. Although it might be expensive, there are inexpensive choices instead. Sylvania knows that feeling. With SDTV's, EDTV's, and HDTV's, in can be confusing. Not just that, it also can be very much a huge pinch from our wallets. Fortunately, you can buy one that is simple, with all the convience of your everyday needs, and this is one of those.

The Sylvania LC200SL8 is a LCD 20 inch television that is inexpensive from the company, but convient in price. At nearly 15 pounds in weight, this television is sleek and easy to setup and works like a charm. It is easy to connect your video game systems like the Xbox 360, your DVD player, or your converter box for all your cable needs. You can also view HD programming at a smaller resoultion. Although to some it might be a hastle to some, it isn't much of a problem. It is very easy to operate and the display is absolutely beautiful on all your favorite movies and television shows. You can also view programs in 16x9 widescreen or the traditional 4x3 aspect ration with the new ATSC tuner. There is one disadvantage though, the instruction booklet could've been a bit easier to help those who have a hard time setting up televisions, but it isn't a big deal.

All in all, if you get a DTV, digital television some time soon, I definitely recommend Sylvania a whole lot because they bring out a lot for anyone at a convient price. It is inexpensive and delivers well for anyone looking for a new television. This television is really worth it.

This review is from: Sylvania LC200SL8 20-Inch LCD EDTV with Built In Tuner (Electronics)

This lcd flat screen is the best tv i have ever owned and has the best picture i have ever seen on a non HD-TV.Even though this tv is not a HDTV it is EDTV(Enhanced definition)and has a very vivid,bright and colorful display that makes things on screen come to life in a way that a normal tv just can't do.Right out of the box this tv is already set up on its own stand so you can just put it on a flat surface and it's ready to go,you can also set this tv up on a wall mount if you want.The other nice thing about this is the fact that it can tune in digital tv signals as well as standard broadcasting,the digital tuner is going to be a must in the near future because over the air tv signals are all going to be digital.This tv also has the stuff you would expect to find like a couple of places to plug in your av jacks,a coax cable hook up and two speakers attached to the side of the tv for stereo sound.I love this tv and there is nothing bad i can say about it,it's great.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad pixle on the screen. Poor customer support., July 5, 2007

You may have a bad pixel on the screen if you purchased this set (Sylvania LC200SL8 20" LCD TV). This appears as a bright dot of primary color (in my case a bright red dot about the size of a pencil dot) that is always on the screen regardless of what is playing. This is a bad LCD display that needs to be replaced to fix this problem. I bought two sets and noticed this problem on 4 out of 5 sets in three different stores in two different states. Only one of five sets did not have this problem. I bought this set for my brother I was visiting in another state as a gift. We went through three sets in two stores before we found one without this problem. When I bought this set for myself when I returned home, the first one new out-of-box had this problem. The second one did not but developed the problem within the first day of use. I called Sylvania's national customer support. They sounded very professional giving their name and badge number at the beginning of each call. They requested I fax them information and the receipt in attention to Fernando in their Warranty Service which I did. After not hearing anything, I called back and they said they received the fax and I should wait a week which I did. I then called back after a week with no one calling me and they said they would escalate this issue to their corporate office and someone will contact me within 2 days. After no one contacted me I called back and their customer service and they requested I start the process over from the beginning and if no one contacts me in a week, call back. I asked to speak to a supervisor who told me they would pay for the part but I would have to pay for labor. When I reminded them that their warranty covers both parts and labor, they said they would escalate this issue to their corporate office. I also let the supervisor know the authorized factory service center he suggested I take the TV set for repair after they provide me approval from their corporate office has an unsatisfactory rating by the local Better Business Bureau (BBB) from hundreds of customer complaints. Checking the local BBB is a good idea before you get anything repaired. After waiting a week without anyone calling me from Sylvania, I returned the set to the place I purchased it from for a refund and bought a Samsung LCD at another store. I was attracted to this Sylvania LCD TV set because it was on sale for $229. Even though it is only EDTV which is 640 x 480 resolution the value was good. The Samsung I purchased is full HDTV. This will allow me to watch shows in full HDTV. Within a few years most TV shows will be in HDTV and this was a better investment for the future.
