5.0 out of 5 stars
So far so good, good first impression,
This review is from: Sylvania LD320SSX 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV/DVD Combo (Electronics)
Costco had it for $379. We decided to give it a try. Setup was quick and painless, with the only tools required being a medium phillips-head screwdriver for attaching the base. The remote is responsive and easy to use. The picture is rather spectacular especially considering the price. I see some other reviews online complaining about contrast, but this unit states a 10,000:1 contrast ratio on the box and looked great from first turn-on. I have felt no need to change the factory settings and have noticed no display artifacts. The tuner works great and picks up some cable channels none of our other TVs have found. (Some might even be worth watching!) The captioner (which I use) is very configurable and readable. The sound is fine, too, and the DVD player works well in our usage so far.
It has a fluorescent backlight, as LED backlighting hasn't come to low-end units like this one. So, the finite lifetime of the backlight will probably limit this (and all other fluorescent-backlit LCD TVs) to three-to-five years of usage. Plasma and OLED TVs have about the same lifetime for different reasons. Shrug. If you want longer life, go for LED backlighting, but you'll pay. But I must say, for a "low-end" unit, it certainly cuts a great first impression. It's only been a few days, so I can't attest to reliability, but Costco doubles the manufacturer's warranty and offers its Concierge service for free. So far, I'm impressed.

Poor picture quality - lack of contrast and accurate colors,

This review is from: Sylvania LD320SSX 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV/DVD Combo (Electronics)
We put a movie in and immediately thought there had to be something wrong. There was very little contrast. Any scene where the lighting was not bright, characters looked more like a shadow because all features were lost without contrast. The colors were off too. After some adjusting of factory settings, it got a little better. But there are much better TVs out there for the price paid for this set, even if you have to purchase a separate DVD player. But if you really need a combo unit and don't need great picture quality, this will suffice.

Sylvania LD320SSX,
This review is from: Sylvania LD320SSX 32-Inch 720p LCD HDTV/DVD Combo (Electronics)
This TV has a great picture and adequate sound quality to enjoy in a medium size room such as your typical 14x14 ft size bedroom. It did take a little fiddling around to get my ComCast DVR to talk to it in 1080i but it will do it just fine. It took a little more fiddling around to get the picture to fill the screen (use HD zoom) on the ComCast remote. The DVD plays just fine and is not picky about about old DVDs. We like this set alot.
