 Very disappointing May 18, 2010
Curtis G (OC, CA, USA)
I was looking for a "starter" HDTV of at least 32" to replace a 10-year-old 25" tube TV and came across this model at Costco for under $400. The picture quality looked a lot better (that is, brighter) than many of the more expensive models, and because it would eventually go into the bedroom, the integrated DVD player was a bonus. I'd have to say that the DVD player is the best feature, because it allows me to completely bypass all the compulsory previews and skip right to the DVD menu, something none of my standalone DVD players will do. However, I've never been happy with the picture. I ran "DVD Essentials" twice and I'm still not happy. The blacks are TOO black, and many underlit scenes tend toward impenetrable darkness. Worse, the picture manages to be both overly green AND red (which is odd, considering that they are on opposite ends of the color adjustment): hair looks greenish and faces look pink. DVDs generally look pretty good, but TV broadcasts are a toss-up. And as other people have mentioned, the obscure remote code means I can't use my cable box remote to control the TV.
Sorry, Sylvania--you had your shot. I've put up with this TV for two months now and I've decided to take this one back and try a brand better known for its HDTVs.
 good tv/good price May 13, 2010

We picked this up at Costco for 379.00. Took it home and just with basic rabbit ears, it picked up channels nice and clear. This is used in our vacation home so really was looking for something that would also play dvds. So far so good. I'm very happy with this unit. If you are looking for a 32" combo tv/dvd at a very good price I think this would fit the bill.
It's an LCD, it has a built in DVD player - and it's really affordable April 17, 2010

Many folks have hammered this model because of "poor picture quality". All I can say is these people didn't bother working with the set's picture settings. Does it offer the same quality as my Panasonic Viera 50" Plasma? Nope. However, it also cost $379.
If you are looking for a very nice combo set, this set is very reliable. We've had no issues with DVD playback and the HD signal from Cox is as expected.
As for portability in the attributes - just how portable should a wall mounted LCD TV set be?
My only complaint, no listed SA 8300 DVR remote code.
I would readily recommend this set as an economical first set or as a second set.
 Poor contrast, junky DVD player and obscure remote February 10, 2010

I picked up this set at a local membership-based warehouse store as a floor model for the low price of $340 (after floor model discount). Got it home and the first problem hit almost immediately. The threaded wall-mount holes are counter sunk into the set by 4mm or so, and the screws on the wall mount I purchased could not reach. I had to modify the wall-mount so that the screws would reach. Strike 1, albeit minor.
The next issue I encountered was with the picture quality. Darks were very dark... In order to eliminate the blackness, the contrast and brightness had to be set so high colors were flat washed out.
In testing the DVD player, the mechanism that engages the disc was unpredictable at best. Sometimes, by the time it grabbed the disc, it's already moved on to rejecting the disc. It was generally a struggle to get a disc in.
HDMI selection was very slow. In other words, when I turned the set on, it would take several seconds before it would display the signal from my HD cable box.
The straw that finally broke the camel's back was that the remote uses an obscure set of codes and none of the Funai, Sylvania or other codes listed for the Comcast universal remote could control this TV. A quick Google search quickly revealed that this TV has a unique remote and simply isn't supported by the Comcast universal remote.
Also, the product image here on Amazon isn't clear enough to reveal the horizontal gold stripe that goes across the bottom of this set. An eye sore on an otherwise attractive set.
I returned the TV to the big box store and picked up a 26" Toshiba 720p LCD/DVD combo and all of the above issues are completely resolved. Granted the new set is smaller, but it's for a bedroom anyways.
great picture quality January 10, 2010

I saw this LCD TV at BJ's wholesale today for $399.99 ( 1/10/10) and it had the best picture in the store. Looked at 15 LCD tv's side by side and the Sylvania had one of the best pictures. Very impressed with the picture quality and the price. I'm thinking about buying this and using my 19 inch Dynex LCD tv as a computer monitor.
