With the upcoming years in electronics coming up, the whole television signal will be completely changed from the traditional NTSC analog, to the ATSC signal, many people don't know which kind of a television to buy. Although it is tough, many people can't afford the HDTV's, many are considering EDTV's, and SDTV's instead. Sylvania does know that feeling for all consumers. They've definitely made some of the best quality electronics on the market, and still bring out the best that is affordable. This television does bring out that theory well for anyone who wants a new television.

The Sylvania LD200SL8 is a 20 inch LCD television is a lightweight and convient DTV to buy, at a affordable price. The television is easy to setup and easy to operate. At a lightwieght 17 pounds, it is easy to place on your entertainment center, or hang on your television mount. The television also is sleek, and includes a DVD player that works well. It is compatable to nearly all DVD playback compatablities. It is capable of playing DVD+/-RW discs in Video mode only (not VR mode as the case with Sylvania's DVD recorders), MP3 CD's and traditional CD's. The sound really is great to listen to in crisp dolby digital sound for your favorite movies and television shows. The display is delightful and looks great, and elequently well for your cable box, as well video game systems like the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360. There is one disadvantage, you can't change the screen from 16x9 widescreen, unless you have a HD converter box or antenna.

All in all, the Sylvania LD200SL8 is a great TV/DVD combo at an affordable price for those who trust Sylvania, and for anybody on a budget. I really like Sylvania's brands of electronics, and I really recommend this for anyone who wants to change with the times, but not strectch so much out of the price.

This is a basic, good lcd tv. It has a built in dvd player, which unforturnately will not play jpeg files (I overlooked that). I would probably have bought it anyway due to the price. It also has analog and digital tuners built in. Those and the dvd were very important to me. The picture is very good for a bedroom or other small tv type placement. When using an antenna, the digital channels do not follow the corresponding analog channel, they are grouped after all analog channels. That was kind of irritating, but not too bad.

Sylvania's 20-inch "ED"TV with built-in DVD player is a winner. I bought one when I wanted to upgrade our second TV to high definition at the same time I bought our 37-inch Olevia for our living room (ASIN: B000H312RK see my review) and this is turning out to be the best $1,000 I ever spent.

The little Sylvania is an "enhanced definition" television. This means it is not true high definition but can accept the high def signal although it won't interpret it exactly as your true HDTV will. But it looks great even in standard definition with an exceptionally bright screen that delivers brilliant colors and high contrast all the time.

The 20-inch (diagonal) screen is 16 inches wide and 12 inches deep, giving it a 4:3 picture ratio. This is not HD widescreen but it looks wider than that when you watch. Part of the reason for that is the super brilliance of the picture mated to the enhanced definition picture.

The built-in DVD player is on the back left side of the TV on a vertical plane. It's easy to use -- just stick in your favorite DVD and press "play". This is a friendly little television you'll like.

Overall, I feel I made a good purchase for a great price. Picture clarity is great, nice to have the dvd player right there. Great TV for the price and size.

I ordered this item with the shipping time between may 5 -8. Om may 8th I was told that it was out of stock. I had already thrown out my old TV and took a day off from work, then that afternoon I receive the e-mail. I went back to my open orders to leave feedback and get refund and it was magically gone. I hope I get my refund. Do NOT TRUST ELECTRONIC EXPESS BUY FROM ANY ONE ELSE.

VERY UNHAPPY IN NEW YORK(JANICE) Product Sylvania LD 200SL8 20" LCD TV WITH BUILT IN dvd player, it might have been a good product but I will never know

I couldn't be happier. I wanted a wall mount, approx. 19" flat screen TV with a built in DVD player. This TV met all my needs, which I found is hard to come by. Not only is the TV great, but it was delivered in 2 days.

We're very happy with this TV; fits exactly into the space we had available, nice bright picture, easy to set up and use.

I purchased this tv for my young son for Christmas. And my older daughter liked it so much that I had to purchase one for her. Now we have two of these tv's in our home. It has very good picture quality and the kids love the built in DVD player. Both tv's have been working great and I have no issues at all with them.

I purchased 8 of these for my furnished apartments. I was looking for a large enough screen, a dvd player and good price. I found all of these in this TV set. The image is a little cold and even after making adjustments for warmth and color and tone, I still think the image is too cold. But the price is right and my guests are happy!

A very good tv, color is excellent, dvd player works very well, seems to be very nicely made, we received it faster than delivery date, It even looks very good, what I so much like about it that the speakers are wide apart, it doesnt look like a picture frame, all in all you cannot go wrong with this one.
