This Funai-made Sylvania LCD TV has a very good standard-definition picture and a better, but sub-par HD picture. Images are sharper and colors more vivid than a conventional Panasonic CRT screen in our living room.

The TV had decent stereo sound for a small television for one year, before one speaker became too distorted to use. I had to disconnect the bad speaker, thereby losing true stereo sound. The TV is now 3 years old.

Note: The Slyvania can be mounted on a wall with a VESA bracket. Do not mount TV more than a foot above eye level at viewing or you will need to tip the LCD TV downward (requiring a wall bracket with pivoting capability). The screen appears dark if you have to look up at it from a significant angle).

Features: TV has Coax, Composite, S-Video and Component video inputs. There are no DVI or HDMI inputs. Receives HD with component inputs.

The picture quality was great, and I had the TV conveniently mounted on the wall and was quite happy with it. Suddenly, the LCD screen developed black spots and then went black completely, indicating the LCD screen was either defective or the TV itself was of poor quality. I've had friends whose Sylvania televisions also go dead after a few months, so this is the last time I buy anything from Sylvania. My advice: stick with brands that are known for reliability like Sony. You may have to spend a few dollars more, but in my example, it would be worth the extra bucks.

I am a college student living in the dorms and this t.v. is awesome. It's perfect for my room. It's sleek and saves a lot of space. No worry about a big bulky box that takes up too much space and weighs a ton. It's really easy to use and has great picture quality. I have had it since I've come to college, about two and half months, and no problems yet. It's great!

I found this unit to have better picture quality , than most others in its size and price range.

Ive owned other Funai products and have had no problem with them. I even have a 20" Pure Flat set now for over 15 years , and never once had a problem.

Greatstyle and design.

service not too great - that's why the low rating. This was our first LCD T.V. purchase. T.V. konked out within 90 day warranty - no picture. E-mailed Funai first (no response). Then I called Funai and actually spoke to someone - because it was brought through Amazon (not a store) - had to use "Authorized Service Center". Authorized Service Center has now had t.v. for 3 weeks, and I'm told they're waiting for power supply. Needless to say, the 3 weeks has now made the unit older than the 90-day warranty, so if something else goes wrong, I'm stuck. I'd recommend another manufacturer.
