:welcome_s: rich67!!!

I know that Sylvania, Emerson, Magnavox and (I think) Philips are all made by the same manufacturer. I've seen Sylvania LCDs on the store floor and I thought they looked ok from straight on but looked far worse from even a slight angle.

What's your goal for this TV? Is it your first HDTV or one for a spare room?

[rich67]

Yes for the bedroom. thanks for the feedback.

I picked up a couple of 37" Sylvania LCD's a couple months ago for my garage and office....couldn't be happier for the price ($498 ea. @ Target) My only complaint is my DirecTV remotes don't work the TV's (power, volume) :(

Have you tried code search?

Oh yeah, tried that....according to other sites on the net, no one has been able to get the newer Sylvania's to work with a DirecTV remote :( Its ok, the TV in my garage, I use an old home theater receiver to power a few speakers and a sub and the remote will control that volume so I just have to use the TV's remote to turn off and on :D
