For the money this TV has a wonderful picture. It is sharp with vivid color. I looked up the reliability ratings and Sylvania has an excellent reliability rating. I love that it has HDMI ports. Sound quality is very good for its size.

Great value, easy to set up, beautiful quality picture.

I am not very savvy when it comes to Televisions and audio components, so I went to several stores looking for what I wanted at a good price point. I found that this TV was about $25. less than comparative other Televisions I looked at, and with free shipping (which arrived in 2 days), I figured it was worth the risk.

At 15 lbs, I was able to set it up without help. I put on a DVD that I had watched several times on my old (29") TV and within the first 10 minutes I saw details I had completely missed in previous viewings. The TV settings are easy to navigate, and the set up plugs are obvious and easy to get to in the back and on the side. I just plugged my Wii into the side, and it was ready to go with no glitches or problems.

I'm sure that people with more discriminating tastes might look at other televisions and think that the extra $25 - $500 difference is worth it - but for me, this is a great TV with good picture and audio for the price.

This is a great tv and the price makes it even better! Sharp and clear picture. The casing is nice (doesn't look cheaply built), and it was shipped fast and arrived in great condition.

This TV is great, I have an HD cable box and I'm using HDMI cable. Image is awesome even though it's only 720p. Sound quality is just as good, I hung this set in my bedroom and with the volume on 8 or 9 it's too loud. The scale, I believe goes up to 50. I love the shiny black piano housing. I'm very pleased, and would highly recommend this model. Going to order another for the kids room.

Out of the box the TV looks great. Price was perfect. A relief to have 3 HDMI ports... instead of the one I used to have. Now I can have HDTV, XBOX, and... one more someday!

Edit: I've downgraded to a four star rating, instead of five. The picture quality is good, but not great. The quality of video appears to be like it is compressed, or "youtube-ish" for lack of a better term. Not terrible, but not as good as my 4 year old Vizio 32" I have in the bedroom. I used the same video source to compare and could see more compression/pixelation. I used a calibration DVD to set up the adjustments and turning the sharpness and contrast down a bit helped. I still like my TV, but you get what you pay for. I decided not give this TV a five star based on the great price, which I initially had done. I don't believe a product review should consider the price as a quality, but just the product alone.

That being said, if you dont want to spend $500-$600 on a 32" TV, this is your best bet. I wouldn't pay the extra $200 to get slightly better quality from a TV - just not logical to me.

QUESTION, I'm trying to program my ATT Uverse remote, but don't have a working code for this TV. Anybody have one? I've searched online with no luck. Thanks!

After only 12 months this tv broke. Look around on-line and you will see it happens quite often. Usually after the one year warranty expires. The circuit board in the set shorts out and can not be replaced because Sylvania stopped making the part. If you get this tv make sure you get a 3 year warranty or protection plan.

Best feature is the price. Picture and sound is great. Perfect bedroom TV. The only problem is that regular Dish Network remotes do not work with this TV (for power & sound). You need to use 2 remotes whenever watching TV. Bad engineering and planning by someone. I hooked up a Phillips Soundbar DVD player to the Sylvania -- great watching movies in the bedroom now.

After reading mostly great reviews, I took the plunge and bought my first HDTV. First you cant get a black level, all the dark areas have a reddish color. On a black and white movie, it has a strong red tint to it. No matter what I did it made no difference. Another thing when you switch from TV to DVD to hdmi it has no memory for your settings. So how ever you set your personal setting it will have to do on all inputs. The picture quality on standard def is horrid, blurry pixlelized and slow to respond to fast action frame rate. The good.... it looks pretty. Almost forgot the worst thing about this set. You can not get a decent flesh tone. It's either an orange or bluish tint.

I purchased this tv to hang on the wall in my exercise room. It arrived promptly & it's got a sharp, clean picture. It has been exactly what I expected & I've used it every day for a couple of weeks now.

this is a great tv for the price, it has a way better picture than my other tv*plasma* I really wish that I had two lcd now instead of getting a plasma for our family room I use this in my bedroom but it would be great for a family room also great picture great sound
