Magnavox = phillips-magnavox
The tv's seem to have average to slightly higher than average problems (to be expected in the low end product), BUT phillips magnavox has a terrible rep for customer service (no personal experince, I've been browsing alot of AV/HDTV forums recently) horror stories are people being deliberately hung up on after hours working up the tech support phone tree, unable to get through, returned items not being credited, being told "tough luck, they all do that" etc.
I've seen enough similar stories from different sources that I'd very wary of phillips magnavox products.
The up side is LCD's overall have a less then 2%return/defect rate and unlike other displays defects are usually right out of the box, certainly noticed within 30 days and costco will give you cash back for 90 days (most products)
price seems alittle high (they have a 32" for the same $) the DVD is probably worthless, but as long as it doesn't swallow/jam up with a rented disk inside, you still have plenty of inputs to use if it dies.
The QAM tuner can be a big plus (depends on your provider) local and many national HD channels are sent in Clear QAM so no cable box needed except for pay channels (depends on your cable provider/ varies area to area) |
