5 comments about Protron 37" Widescreen HDTV LCD TV PLTV3750.

1. TV is nice, good picture but remote control won't work all the time.
   They said they would send a new remote, here it is a month later and no new remote.



2. Do not waste your time or money
   My 37" HDTV LCD only worked for two weeks.
   If I had done more online research I could have saved a lot of money.
   I am out $900.00 ($170.00 to ship it back to Protron for warranty work)
   3 months and still no TV and nobody in customer service will give me a straight answer... their standard line is "call back in 3 weeks and we may have a replacement in stock"
   Do not buy!
   Prosonic
   Protron
   SpectronIQ (same company, different names)



3. I purchased this unit in September of 2006. It arrived tightly package using double reinforcements. With all the hype that Protron has received, my unit has never given me a problem, works very well. I think because of this, the unit I purchase was before the problems Protron suffered in their lack of quality control. Would I buy another? Most likely no.



4. This is the most disreputable company I have had the misfortune to deal with in my life. I own four electronic products from this company. Only one is still working (32" LCD). If you return a non working product they will never return it or respond to you in any meaningful way. Please research before buying anything from this company. The previous review is completely accurate.



5. I bought the Protron 37" Dual Tuner LCD HDTV back in September of 2006 and it still has an incredible HD picture. I have never had a problem so I have never had to deal with their customer service. I use our cable remote but the original still works and the sound and clarity are great and I love my tv, to this very day and it is used daily.

5 comments about Zenith L20V36 20.1" 4:3 LCD Flat-Panel EDTV (Silver).

1. I was looking for the most inexpensive 20" LCD TV I could find for my bedroom. What I found is not my father's Zenith. It's flimsy junk. I wish I had seen the remote control before I purchased it, it looks like something that would come with a $19.95 boombox (the label with the numbers and functions was all wrinkled up to boot). What a mistake. I'm sorry I didn't see the first review on Amazon prior to purchasing it. The image contrast is terrible (it seemed ok when I looked at one in the store). Bright areas cause image distortion and then there's distortion for no reason at all. Most things look like a bootleg VHS tape. The Zenith website support is horrendous! Their forms don't work. Their bulletin board is useless and comes up with "file not found" errors. It's impossible to submit a support form without a logon error. So, I called their 24/7 support. The person who answered the phone couldn't be more disinterested, unpleasant and less helpful. I wish I had a recording. They had no clue or suggestions as to what could be wrong. Im assuming they've heard this before, because they were quick to tell me it needs repair. They tell me that there aren't any people who can come to the home to fix the set "there's no one out there who knows how to fix these things". They want me to unmount it (It took me 3 weeks to find someone to pay to mount it on the wall) and send it back to them. This is $1000 item, not an electric toothbrush, I would expect a little more from them. However, I guess we all have to get used to the new millenium version of customer service. Maybe I wouldn't have been so angry, but the attitude of the "customer support respresentative" was just over the top. I will NEVER buy a ZENITH or LG product again. I was penny wise and pound foolish. I'd rather have lived with my old TV until I could've puchased a Sony or Sharp for a few hundred dollars more. THINK TEN TIMES before you buy Zenith or any other items which appear to be a bargain. Do your homework. The above review is my oppinion based on my experience.



2. I recently purchased this TV after comparing pictures to 3 other brands at the store (Circuit City). I was ready to buy a more expansive TV on name only but could not help but notice what a much better picture this TV had, even as the store clerk told me that the signal is not very consistent in the store. I just read the other 3 reviews and I am surprised someone thought this should compete with an HDTV when it is not. (I have one on my big screen downstairs). The EDTV is sufficient for the bedroom especially with a digital cable signal and the prgressive scan that the EDTV uses.I have not noticed any lower screen lighting problem nor any sound problems. In fact, the TV gives about 5 different settings that you set for different sound depending on whether its a movie, sports, etc. It sounds like the poor reviews are coming from people who have not read the info with the TV and experimented with setting contrast, color, etc as there are various settings available also. I agree that you should see it with your own eyes. I cannot speak for their service reps as I have not needed them certainly can say I am happy with my set!



3. I bought this TV for $900 pre-tax in May and have been rather satisfied. It looks great, functions well, and has an excellent picture. Like all LCD TVs, fast-moving images look bad, but the clarity of most pictures is worth it. That said, this TV is definitely not for gaming.
   
   The weight is its best feature. This TV can stand on any table. It is easy to move. Even my 100-lb. wife could carry it home. I will surely replace my 155 lb. behmouth with an LCD TV as soon as income permits. I think about it every time I move. This would be the ultimate college TV. It is worth the extra expense to save your back when moving.



4. In short, I like the tv. All of the positives mentioned in the other reviews are items I'd agree with. It seems like the picture is clearer when I go directly into the tv via the cable instead of through my digital cable box and then thru my Replay TV (via SVideo). I realize that going through 2 additional boxes may not be optimal, but I'd imagine many people have a similar configuration. Where I'm most disappointed is when I bring up my ReplayTV channel guide. The listings are sort of blury - kinda like an eye test where you say "worse" rather then "better" while the doctor is dialing in your script. Its readable, but not as good as my old crt with the same configuration. DVDs via the component video do look nice.



5. I purchased this TV in spring of 2004 for $999, so the latest price is a bargain in comparison. I'm not a "techie', but the picture is clear and sharp, especially compared to the other models in the store (Circuit City). Easy to set up with my cable, Direct TV, VCR and TIVO. I also liked the clean and simple look of the TV. It is very light and that was also an important point for me. It can go on any table top, TV stand or on the wall. I am certainly enjoying this TV every day and have no regrets with the purchase.

5 comments about JVC LT46FH97 46-Inch 1080p Flat-Panel LCD HDTV.

1. I have had this TV for a month and have been extremely pleased. The color and clarity are amazing. Learning to use the remote and menus was not as easy as I might have expected but it did not take long to learn. I did a lot of research before purchasing this TV. Everything I found pointed to this model as having all the things I was looking for. Then when I received my 'Consumer Reports' magazine and this model (smaller screen) was the top rated, that sealed my decision. I could not find this model locally but I was extremely pleased with my purchasing experience with 'Amazon.com'. The price was a good value and the free shipping service added to the value. It arrived in one week.
   
   I could not have asked for more for my money!



2. I purchased this TV in December, and have found it to be excellent in every way. My HD cable box goes into one HDMI input, and my DVD player goes into the other. The picture quality out of the box was quite good, and it was even better after some adjustments using test patterns. Since I don't have any 1080p inputs, the 1080i limitation was not an issue for me.
   
   While I use an external receiver for audio, the built in audio is surprisingly good as well.
   
   I would highly recommend this set.



3. I've had this model for almost 6 months and I have no complaints whatsoever on this excellent set. "Troy","Training Day" and "The Aviator" really shine on this set especially in HD!! The set hardly needed calibration yet I did have the Geek squad from Circuit City do it anyway and it looks even better than ever (you could get by without one yet I believe in the long run, calibration will save you in energy costs). It's a shame that JVC tends to advertise their bigger rear projection sets over the LCDs (Best Buy only carries the LCOS). Here's hoping that this will change in the future!!. Life like colors, excellent picture--check it out.



4. When we received this TV, we loved it. Within sixty days the smart port quit working and before the warranty was out the TV begin to "Marble-ize" (what the repair center calls it). I said it looked like mother of the pearl shining in the sun.
   
   Anyway, I am now in a battle with them to try and get my TV home, a new TV issued or my money back. They would not honor the In-home Warranty, so I a have been out a living room TV for almost two months. They can't seem to fix this TV and have replaced the same part three times (I learned that they also use refurbished parts to fix our brand new under warranty TV's and electronics). This is not going to build any JVC love between us and them.
   
   Anyway it is still not fixed and now they think it might be a cable instead. In other words they don't know what is wrong with it and unless I get a lawyer soon, I am going to get screwed on this deal for sure. In the meantime, and too late, I searched the Internet and found that there are people in the heart of big cities that are told the in-home warranty will not be honored, because, like us, it is too far too drive. I don't seem to be the only one having major problems with them.
   
   So, I am not a happy customer. I would not recommend this TV or JVC to anyone and I will never purchase from them again.



5. Do not buy this tv if you have a Playstation 3 system, it will max out at 1080i and your games will look jagged and dotted, backgrounds look pladed out. I own this thinking it would display at 1080p and it was an expensive mistake. Blu-Ray looks great! Regular DVD's also look awesome. But its not FULL HD, its TRUE HD. I compared it with a Sony Bravia and am looking to replace this tv now after I noticed the huge difference in picture quality (for games only). For movies as I said it is awesome, but I am very picky when it comes to gaming as far as detail and only want the best. :) I might just keep it as my bedroom tv...

1 comments about LG 52" 1080p LCD HDTV.

1. We did a side-by-side comparison of 5 different TVs in 2K to 4K range at out local TV store. Over all we saw that technologically LCD was best choice.
   Compare to DLP, LCD is better because:
   1. Video is brighter.
   2. There is almost no glare or reflection from bulbs in room or sun light.
   3. There is no need to replace projection bulb.
   
   Compared to Plasma, LCD is better choice because:
   1. There is no burn in issue with LCD - compared to plasma TVs.
   2. 1080p feature is sometimes missing in bigger plasma TVs.
   
   We then compared Sony Bravia 52", Samsung 52" and Sharp Aquos 52" LCD TVs with this one. LG clearly stood out in color. It had bright rich colors. Black contrast (which is generally a problem in LCD) was also far superior. We bought 52LB5D right away. We can see a clear difference in quality of video. SD channels are far better than how they looked before in our 55" rear projector HDTV and DVD movies are awesome.
   It does have a one con - its bit heavier compared to other LCDs but don't plan to hang it on a wall so that will be fine.
