I'd never even heard of Proscan until I went shopping for a new tv for my new apartment. Every single time I have a guest over or someone sees this tv on they will say what an awesome picture and sound it has. I love to watch movies. When the movies are over I feel like I've been to the theatre. I'm so happy I made the right choice!

I went to sears and compared this tv to the others that were there and for the price, it cant be beat. The only tv's that were close were the Samsung and the Sony Bravia. I definately cannot afford the sony or the samsung. This tv compared side by side to everything else, was brighter, had better sound quality, the black was black.

The only downfall in the infrared for the remote. You pretty much have to be directly infront of it for it to register.

I recently went out on a quest to find a HDTV with 1080p, I have two projection screens (Mitsubushis) which are 1080i, but I bought a PS3 and wanted the awesome graphics. I reviewed several TVs to include Sony, Vizio, Samsung, Pioneer, Westinghouse and Proscan (RCA). I came across the Proscan 42" at Sears and was able to compare with the other TVs, pretty much side by side. This TV, especially for the price, outdid its competition hands down. My other major consideration was the Samsung. I, at present time, have no surround sound so sound quality of the built in speakers was something that I considered. The sound quality was better on the Proscan. The picture is incredible, 2 HDMI ports, VGA port, component video jacks, and an audio optical port. In parting, the Samsung was $1800 (40") and the Proscan (42") was $949. I highly recommend this sleek looking, inexpesive LCD TV to those that want all the bells and whistles with out the price tag shock.
