Got this from target a month or two ago. Picture, etc. is fine.
Biggest problem I have with it is it doesn't seem to have a universal remote code, and does not come with a multi-function remote. Tried all the sylvania, funai and rca codes with my FIOS. YMMV, but if you don't have a learning remote you may need to use 2 remotes.

I've had some Panasonic codes work on some other "no-name" TVs in the past. Try them out. When you get bored some Saturday or Sunday afternoon just try all the different ones of other major manufacturers if you're that into it. That's how I discoverd the Panasonic ones that worked.

We got two recently when Target had them for $150.
This does not have a QAM tuner. According to Sylvania's website for this product & Sears own website, it has an ATSC tuner. QAM tuners allow you to receive unencrypted digital signals from a cable provider. Therefore this tv would not receive unencrypted digital signals through your cable provider and would require you to use either a converter box or your cable company's cable box to view digital channels.

I understand that neither the Sears or Sylvania sites indicate a QAM tuner. However, we purchased 2 of the Sylvania LC195SLXs from Target recently. Neither the Target site or the product box indicated the presence of a QAM tuner.
I can assure you that we are receiving over 50 unencrypted digital signals through our cable provider without using either a converter box or our cable company's cable box to view digital channels.

I've seen this question posted on multiple forums but I've *NEVER* seen anyone post a reply naming a TV without a QAM tuner. Just luck?
BTW, the one I bought a couple of months back at Target DOES!

CONTRAST is *CRAP* (1000:1 IIRC)
SPEAKERS sound like a table radio (small; no cabinet to speak of)
PRICE IS RIGHT!!! ($150)
*shrugs* wasn't intended to be a review of the TV :-P For what it is, I consider it fine.
It would appear that even though it is not in the specs, it has a QAM tuner. If I am not feeling too lazy later, I will verify that I can receive the few channels that FIOS sends unencrypted.
