But to my surprise, it's turned out be a great value. The set has got really crisp picture, along with vivid colors, and no distortions whatsoever. The blacks aren't the best out there, but you can't expect the world from a $500 set I suppose. I've come across a lot of review for this exact set with sound issues, but thus far I haven't experienced any myself. It's not terribly loud, but for my purposes, it suites me just fine. I would recommend that if you were placing this TV in a fairly large room, get a sound system to accompany it, and it'll mare than make up for it's shortcomings. I also have the TV acting as my computer monitor, which works perfectly. No complicated set-up needed, and all you need is an extra 1/8'' headphone plug for sound.

The television would not come back on. Googled the model number and found literally hundreds of similar stories on the internet about Phillips/Magnavox televisions having this same problem.
The user's guide included with the set says to unplug the television for 30 minutes and then try again. Magnavox's website says to unplug the set for 60 seconds in order to reset the power supply. Other sources say unplug it for 4 hours and another said unplug and leave unplugged overnight. I've tried ALL of the recommendations and I still have a brand new, but completely dead television. I'll be taking it back and buying a different brand. I talked to a friend in Retail and he tells me that one of the "big box" retailers dropped this product from their line because of all the returns they were getting. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: MAGNAVOX 32" 720p LCD HDTV w/HDMI - 32MF338B (Electronics) I definitely wanted a Sony or Samsung but my wife bought me this set at less than $500.00. It really looked great but after only seven months of viewing, I heard a loud POP! The set is fried and has to be replaced. We bought it at Target, a place I will never buy electronics again. (GPS UNIT Didn't work). Spend the extra money and get a better TV. This is pure crap. |
