I rest my case.

You rest your case after someone finds a couple dead floor models? Maybe its just me, but ive seen floor models get the **** beat out of them, especially at a WalMart. I've never heard of overwhelming failures with Phillips-Magnavox, and as far as I know- ive seen Toshiba at the head of the laptop market, and SHARP ahead in cameras, but ive not heard stellar reviews about their TVs.

BTW- As I stated the WalMart protection plan on the tv is only $28.88- lasts for 2 years on top of the 90 day labor and 1 year parts it already comes with. So even at the total price after the warranty - $453.23, it still is cheaper than any 32" ive seen, a better brand- and youre guaranteed it'll last at least 2+ years. When you find that type of deal somewhere else, with that guarantee- let me know and I'll spread some green your way.

Sharp's AQUOS line is VERY highly rated, though can be known to have a banding problem. (as for comments about Samsung, that's pretty much laughable as they go head to head with Sony for top LCD's on the planet). I heavily researched HDTV's for a year, and I've NEVER seen a single positive EXPERT review for Magnavox other than "ok for a budget brand," much less reviews that state what you said. I did see a user review in a quick google search for this very TV that stated it's 1080p display is awesome (yeah, it can't do 1080p).

sorry, you are crapping us for speaking what the experts have said. a simple trip through the AVS forums will see Magnovox as nothing but a budget brand with subpar return rates, while Toshiba and Sharp are on the other side of the gap i talked about, but certainly more expensive.

AGAIN, VERY good price for an HDTV of it's size, but not name brand quality.

I read on another web site that Phillips is pulling out of the United States Market . The Phillips name will still be in the United States, they sold the brand name to Funai , a chinese manufacturer. If you buy a Mangnavox get an extended warranty, as a lot of these LCD are basically disposable, with no repair parts available.

I passed on WalMart warranty - they let you come back and buy it within so many days, right? My set is looking great right now so forget all the haters and naysayers.

I got it last night at the WalMart in Saddlebrook,NJ. The cashier scanned it and the look on his face when he saw $399 was priceless lol. I said no to the warranty cause I thought this would have at least 1 year. But now that I see 90 days. Im going to go ahead and pick up the 2 year warranty for only $28.88

Not that is matters that much, but Philips is getting out of the LCD market (at least in the US). Thus, they are probably clearancing out merchandise, including Magnavox.

With that said, I am off to look for one for my in-laws....

I'm not certain where you've done any investigating, but as someone else has already pointed out, you're obviously not familiar with LCDs in general.

I already made the comment that it was a good price on a 32" LCD, so not sure what your point is there. My comments addressed those that compared a lower tier brand, ie Magnavox to top of the line brands...which it most certainly IS NOT. Hence the absolutely pathetic 90 day factory warranty.

I stand by my original statement. If it's associated with Philips, it's junk.

None in the Memphis area.

Yes you can go back and grab the warranty- ive done it on other items, for under $30 it definately seems worth it.

To QuicknDirty and Calvin: Actually I know plenty about LCDs and Plasmas- Never said it was top of the line but better than the lower brands- either way we all seem to agree its a good price for a 32" HDTV, which i guess is the main point.

Good luck to anyone else still trying to find it, as others have said- even when its listed at $614, have the cashier scan it- it seems to be popping up $399 all over.
