Fantastic HDTV!
 
Review Date: December 10, 2009
Reviewer: M. McPherson, Yucaipa, CA
I don't know if I have a different model than the first reviewer, but I have none of the issues that were written about. My menus disappear quickly and are easy to navigate. Got this tv setup by running the channel programming, and then I set it up on a desk before I wall mounted it. I was watching NFL football in HD 1080i and it's amazing!! The colors are bright and true, and I hate to say, truer color than my more expensive Samsungs, not to say they aren't great tv's also, but the crispness of the picture and black levels are awesome. What I also like about this tv, is that you can change the screen mode, and it keeps the setting for regular tv not in HD, it will keep the wide mode, which fills the 16:9 screen with no black sidebars, yet when on an HD channel, it will display true 16:9 HDTV format. Also, on some LCDTVs, regular tv broadcasts look like crap, but not on this set, regular tv is smooth and good looking, and not pixelated and jagged. I am very picky about lcdtvs, I took back a Visio after I got it home and it looked horrible compared to my Samsungs. This TV is made by Funai, who also makes Phillips and Sylvania sets, and it certainly ranks up there with the best in picture quality, and for less money. I fully recommend this TV.
Worth The Price

Reviewer: Rob Haines,
The Good:
Great picture and resolution for the money. Adequate features and super easy setup. Analog image is excellent, and switching display settings is very simple. HDTV is as good as any major brand.

The Bad:
Why is it inexpensive? A few reasons: 1st, no VGA-in port. If you want to connect via VGA for your pc or laptop you're out of luck. Remote is cheap and lacks features. Does take about 1/2 second to switch between channels, but the channel display is a non-issue.

The Ugly:
No optical audio output. Major bummer for connecting older receivers. I bought this for my studio/media room, but without an optical out it's not what I planned. My bad for not checking, but, still a decent upgrade from my old 32" 1st gen lcd.

Overall Opinion:
All in all you get a good quality, Japanese-made lcd tv (with less ports) for a great low price. The onscreen channel display really isn't an issue near as much the lack of in- and out-puts. If you use HDMI exclusively that's not really an issue, 3 HDMI's are more than adequate. Remote is basic, but overall easy setup and excellent picture on this tv is a win for the budget-conscious consumer.
No regrets, an overall bargain

Reviewer: DIYer,
I purchased via a different online vendor (sale plus another discount paid for the shipping) - the TV's box was well-packed with Styrofoam and the box took a beating (ala UPS) - but no damage to the unit. I've had the unit about 3 weeks and thus far, I have no complaints - nor do I expect any (fingers crossed, of course). As another reviewer noted, the remote is basic - very basic, but functional. I too was slightly disappointed with a few of the input limitations, however there are a host of alternatives with which to tinker :) I'm not particularly impressed with the stand - it "looks" nice, but it sure doesn't feel very stable - the base is plastic, a rather thin-feeling plastic, at least to me. If the unit is never going to be moved, I suspect it's a safe set-up, however if there is any chance of the thing being moved regularly (e.g., plugging items into the back where all the input jacks are housed) or perhaps reachable by small children, I'd vote for securing the thing to the wall or whatever it is housed in - just to be safe.

The picture is as clear as any other 1080's I've seen, but I haven't viewed my unit right next to another, therefore my observation is just that, my personal observation. The sound is much better than I expected - at times I've caught myself looking over my shoulder or similar as I've heard the "smaller sounds" quite clearly - a crackle of a tree branch has made me look to see what I broke or dropped :)

Sure, I wished the remote and the units itself had a few more "perks" (e.g., the time on the display....who knew I'd ever miss it?), but for the steal/price, I simply cannot find enough to whine about to make me regret the purchase. I'm not a big Magnovox fan - I'm a Sony-aholic....but truth be told, if it didn't say Magnavox on the unit, I'd be none the wiser!

Review Date: March 11, 2010
Reviewer: J. Cammack, New Orleans, LA
Bought for $499.00 plus tax at Target on Superbowl weekend. Had a $100 giftcard and sold my standard definition 34" for $150....so it only cost me $325.00 tax included. Bargain. I bought a blu ray player w/wifi and netflix ready. Been watching great movies for a month and a half.....no problems. Use with Tivo. Nice sound. Use headphones for loud movies.
Nice product - but one annoying feature
 
Review Date: June 8, 2009
Reviewer: S. Winthrop, San Jose, CA
I guess I should have changed the channel while I was staring at this TV in the showroom. Every time you change the channel an annoying (and LARGE) menu screen pops up that obliterates the top-left corner of the screen with:

1) The name of the show being televised (not bad)
2) The type of format display you selected as your default (Zoom In, Automatic, 14.x display, etc.,) I don't really need to be reminded.
3) The LANGUAGE mode you selected...come on...

This pop-up menu is LARGE and blocks out a very big portion of the picture. It also takes too long to load and disappear - so it's very annoying while 'surfing' through channels.

I looked through the manual to see if there is a way of disabling this feature; but alas, I couldn't find one. I'll call Customer Support and if the popup cannot be disabled - I'm considering returning it.

2009 marks a great year for television

big hdtv review


2009 marks a great year for television, mainly because many networks will make the switch to digital broadcasting. Unfortunately, this means you needed to buy one of two things to keep in your favorite – a HD TV or a HDTV converter.

In fact a HDTV converter allows you to keep on television as used to receive digital broadcast signals and convert them into simple analog signals – a language you can understand the TV. Note, however, this conversion transmission only signals converters that HDTV and analog TV does not become an HDTV. If it has been led to believe that this fell prey to a scam populate. In fact, you cannot convert an analog television in an HDTV.

HDTV converters are not the same HDTV tuners although some high-end HDTV Tuners have also features converter. HDTV Tuners receive HD signals in packages of MPEG-2 encoded and decoded them properly, you can display as optimum HDTV screen video. They are used with HDTV, even if some have already own built-in tuners, while the HDTV with analog TV converters are used.

Now that you know what HDTV converters, you can go ahead and start looking for a purchase. You will have to cope with various options and find the best features are the most important factor. One of these features is analog pass-through (RF). Therefore, you can receive digital signals and still get analog networks who continue to use them. After all, while many networks will make the switch to digital broadcasting, some not do so and unless you want to connect and disconnect the HD converter, get one with an analog pass-through feature are recommended for both types of broadcast signals.

Another important feature is the video or super, that it is better that standard output output composite video. This allows you to have more and better images on the screen, but it should be noted that these are still even vaguely excellent picture displayed in an HDTV.

The HD converter right choice can also be a quality sound best enjoyed. While the converter that you must cast digital sounds of analog sounds, these sounds better if the worker has a stereo output, that allows you to attach a surround sound system converter. Once again, this is not surprising quality audio HDTV but still better usually you get.

It’s also a good idea for an HDTV converter with an intelligent antenna and a program of electronic guide (EPG) that allows you to easily flip on programming without paying a monthly or a TV on the role of consultation interface Guide options. Different HDTV converters are different EPG must decide what you want. Some allow you to make your program custom list, while others offer complete information about each program. Some HDTV converters have a universal remote control, including which can be a plus.

Apart from the characteristics of the HDTV converters, watch the brand and the cost as well. If you have a coupon, their options are limited to medium and relatively cheap, but always high-end just allows you to save for an HDTV converter. So you begin to save for their HDTV, so you can really reap the benefits of better quality audio and video available today.
